My very very muttly dog looks like a shepherd, but her biggest breed is rottweiler. Pics line this make me see it!

Important question: are you in CST?

Wait, Florida won??

This reminds me of when "fake news" changed from "false information" to "information I don't like."

I regret to inform you that, in my experience, this continues well into the "age of reason."

As a (Davidson) Wildcat, I've always wondered the difference between bobcats and wildcats. Is one more encompassing? Beautiful pics!

Americone Dream is legit...

How could I not?

I, for one, welcome your "Mean Girls" references here. And on NPR.
