Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This big, bad doggie wants a little, fluffy kitty.
Starring Clyde.
So, when I posted a pic of our new Beta fish, I added an #LGBT tag. This got a lot of people scratching their heads and asking, “WTF?”
See, I’ve been posting and re-blogging a lot of Marriage Equality topics lately. This leads to an awful lot of automatic typing in the space provided for tags.
I can almost type “Tea Party” and “Republican” in my sleep.
The decision was to leave the tag in place for a couple of reasons. The most obvious being, we are an LGBT household.
Apologies to pooperscoopin, mainermoose, and sapphicsnorlax for any confusion. :)

We adopted this happy little guy yesterday. Turns out, he likes to watch TV.
Grumpy Cat Is Not Impressed by TIME’s Photoshoot
Grumpy Cat visited TIME, and it was awful. Actually, that’s far from true — though the adorable mixed-breed cat was enduring an exhaustive day-long romp through the New York City media circuit, it seems as though she rather enjoyed herself.
“It’s a husky/pug mix.” It’s a HUG!
Dog breeders are insane. …and YES, this little ball of cuteness IS adorable. =)
*Though this puppy is cute, PLEASE consider adopting your next pet from an animal shelter. Shelters have a variety of breeds for adoption, and a rescued pet will love you unconditionally. Adopted pets seem to understand that they were saved. They show their appreciation each and every day.

The conference room smells like kibble. One wall, entirely glass, looks onto a small-scale kibble-extrusion plant where men and women in lab coats and blue sanitary shoe covers tootle here and there pushing metal carts. AFB makes flavor coatings for dry pet foods. To test the coatings, the company needs to make small batches of plain kibble to put them on. The coated kibbles are then served to consumers: Spanky, Thomas, Skipper, Porkchop, Mohammid, Elvis, Sandi, Bela, Yankee, Fergie, Murphy, Limburger, and some 300 other dogs and cats that reside at the company’s Palatability Assessment Resource Center (PARC), about an hour’s drive from its St. Louis–area headquarters.
