I love this, Liza. I don’t speak dog or cat either. But over the years I’ve picked up bits and pieces. You probably have, too!

Their sense of smell is many times stronger than ours, so I wonder if they dream in smell. I imagine it’s wonderful.

Thank you! I agree--the communicate is in ways we mortals don't know about!

The dog dreams, of course, in Smell-O-Vision. For a glimpse of the formation of today's politics, fire up the way-back machine and look up Nathaniel Bacon's Rebellion, 1676, when molten, inchoate American formed its hard crust.

I speak cat and am giving a virtual course on it in the fall. (LOL.) It's supposed to be "social media," not "sociopath media." We'll keep on hoping for the good guys to win. xo

Great cartoon. I know my dogs understand me, though they sometimes pretend not to. Netanyu must go.

Lisa, this was absolutely beautiful, you have been my go to since I started Substacking last fall. It is in fact being in the company of someone seeing things that helps me to see. The everyday bombardment of Trump hell is exhausting and I do not know why the people in power continue to allow him to step on every shred of decency and kindness and respect that our society needs to function.

Where is the FBI? The CIA? The Judicial system?

I was grateful for your lighthearted dog and cat discussion of understanding or not understanding one another.

I’m in the dark in the hospital the night after knee replacement having to demand someone to bring me to the bathroom and give me meds. It ?-feels like a microcosm of what America is experiencing and has been experiencing for nearly 10 years.

And by the time this election and the inevitable violence or worse 2nd insurrection occurs it will be over a decade……….. Or will they be successful…..

I need a puppy.

We all need a puppy!

Thank you for your kind words, I am glad to be a part of your reading. And I share your outrage, I wonder if my readers here get tired of my rants about it. But I figure yelling about what's happening (which is how I characterize my rants) is what we have to do. It can't be normalized!!

Get well soon, I hear these replacement surgies go very well now!
