A Sky-full of Pink and Blue Ribbons . . .

After last night's downpour, the daffodils started to open around the lake today. \o/

I have a job interview on Thursday at a place that I'm hoping allows telecommuting, because it's a very long commute. First interview of the month. The recruiters had been very quiet with the sequester the last few weeks, but I'm starting to get more bites again.

Greenbelt Lake companion animal report: A couple of days ago when I was walking around the lake, I met a woman carrying a sweet black bunny. I didn't ask if she was taking her from one place to another or just taking her for a walk around the lake. Yesterday I saw a woman walking 2 sweet, unobtrusive little dogs that immediately made me think of shirebound's Pippin with their little folded-over ears and crescent moon tails, though they had shorter legs--one was cream and the other a reddish gold. I asked their human what they were and she just said they were mutts. Then she added that she found them in a bag along the side of the road, and that made me think of ithiliana's latest household additions, of about the same size and cuteness. So sad and anger-making, but so glad they had a happy ending, too.

And speaking of anger-making, fuck you Paul Ryan and all your Repugs who won't stop wasting everyone's time with your constant rehashing and your jackboots on the throats of the poor.

Calm now. Here's some more pics from around the lake last autumn:

Those are beautiful photos as always :-)

That angers me too being in animal rescue. I've fostered so many animals with a sad story like that one you mention above. It's one of the reasons I chose to work with ferals because I know how often they are ignored by society simply because they have learned to fear humans.

Very pretty, especially the top photo!

Ryan and his cronies think if they just keep proposing the same stuff over and over eventually they'll win. It's all a ploy to kill Medicare, Medicaid and SS. God forbid people should have a safety net, especially the poor. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Thank goodness for our friends here, who love animals and take care of them. Sometimes, I want to secede from the human race, when I hear stories like that one about the woman and her dogs.

wow, those are some b e a u t i f u l pictures!!!!

I'm so happy that lady rescued those poor dogs. How could anyone be so cruel? I feel sorry for a person that could do such a thing.

Yes, reading about those poor dogs and thinking about the Re-thugs makes me very angry indeed.

But your pics are working to calm me. Thx for posting. Keeping fingers & toes crossed for ya.

I just don't get the whole throwing animals away like garbage :((( (like what I think happened to Helo, too). Don't get it at all. :(

Good luck with the interview!!! That would be great if you were able to telecommute!
