Speaking of animals and Trump
Jane Goodall: Trump debates like a chimp in a dominance ritual
But these animals give me hope;

The political revolution continues
How funny! Good for Jane Goodall!
We both perceived that something chimp-like was going on, if in slightly different directions.
Love the birdie feeding the fishes! That is tres cute!

Trump needs to perfect his version of the chimps' John Wayne
walk. That would speak positive volumes to his followers.

Oscar and Purfleet working hard on getting Dinner ready....
or not.
Gëzuar!!

What a beautiful little sunroom, bollox ref!
Lovely, and peaceful.
Yep, where I like to sit and read when it's warm enough
Although Purfleet is out in all weathers.
Gëzuar!!

It's supposed to be 96 here Monday & I wk in a warehouse
With humidity, it'll feel like a bazillion degrees.
I envy you with your sunroom. Oh how wonderful!
My Nip has not been outside in what we call cold lol. We'll see how she responds to 45.
96! Yikes! It's supposed to be 85 here and that's plenty.
I guess we did okay this summer. Tons of 90-degree days, ugh; but it rarely went above 95 or even 92, so could have been a lot worse.
My pets love the heat and don't seem to much mind the cold. They just snuggle up when it gets cool. They'd rather I leave the windows open year-round no matter what.

Cat tries to snuggle with dog but. . .
Annie is very territorial and won't allow Nip to snuggle with her. Maybe this winter will make a difference. We rarely hit freezing, but in a 100 year old transplanted farm house, with wood floors, it gets uncomfortable for me lol. Even if it reaches 60 outside, the house struggles to hit that inside, and I'm a wimp wearing layers - even layered socks!
Don't get dehydrated.
You might make the news.
Around these parts, it can get as low as -20F in Winter. So, if it makes it to +14F, Purfleet likes to check things out.
Gëzuar!!

Will stay hydrated!
The thought of anything negative, temperature wise, makes me shiver to my bones! My newfound intolerance for extreme heat has not yet morphed into a tolerance for extreme cold. Burr, no! And bless your tough, curious kitty.
They're beautiful! I'm sure they're concentrating very hard
on affecting your actions, so it's almost like they're readying dinner themselves! LOL!
And that is a lovely sunroom they have there.

Thank you for this 'Animal Nooz' essay, EC. No 'nooz' myself,
except got a headache coming on--maybe next week I'll have an animal photo, or article (if this is a continuing series).
Thank you Shockwave for the bird/fish video; thanks BR for the lovely photo of your furbabies and sunroom!
Have a nice weekend!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Thank you for stopping by, UL! it will be a regular series
Over There until Ericle returns from the front lines. If y'all enjoy it over Here, then I'll continue to cross-post. And we still have Caucus Critters on Mondays.
Hope your headache's not too bad - try the mint cure!

My pup has disappeared one of my snowboots
and has not returned it to my view. She did discover a missing shoe, but it's not great for winter mud/snow. I will be unhappy about replacing winter boots, I liked that pair.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Oh, that's not good. Ginger finds things for me.
Perhaps I should lend her out!

Skya has no problem with cats, at least
in cat territory. And is still delighted about any visitor to her inside realm. I conclude that I am rather boring.

LOL! Our pets always take us for granted. I'm always amazed
at the number of dogs in my neighborhood who come up to me like I'm the best person ever and they are starving for affection, and yet I know they receive near-constant attention by their moms and dads.
