We’ve learned today that what really gets under his skin and makes him boil is criticism, and especially criticism from progressives. Only a man of the left could care so much about attacks from the left wing. Only a president who is extremely thin-skinned would let criticism bother him so much that he’d — relative to his usual affect — erupt in anger in public about it. Only someone who desperately hates the position he’s in now, having to try to accommodate political realities in a center-right country and kiss his former messiahship goodbye, would show such peevishness.

It’s not reporting, it was a brief bit of “as it happened” commentary at the time Obama gave a press conference today, in which he variously referred to Republicans as “hostage takers,” “bomb throwers,” and I forget what else. He also excoriated those on the left who dared criticize him. It was, as Lowry notes, a rather ugly performance.
Chihuahua! Our kind of dog (usually mixed with terrier, though). : )
I miss him.
It’s very hard to leave a pet at an animal hospital. It will probably be less stressful for the patient to not have to deal with car rides though, and you will hopefully get some sleep.
Prayers will be sent.
Was this an injury or something mechanical, so to speak?
It is genetic.
A collapsed trachea is common in little dogs, chihuahuas, yorkies, pomeranians, etc.
But, if it cannot be stabilized, then they suggest putting the dog down. However, there is a new operation wherein a mesh framework is installed around the trachea to keep it open. It’s pricey and the results are middling.
I just hope we do not get to that point.
Thanks for your support. :)
Wow, I had never heard of that - good luck, from somebody who’s had to get back surgery for the G Shep this year!
Sorry to hear about your puppy. If you want to hear what was said, turn Rush on now. He will be replaying that shortly.
Thank you for your thoughts.
One downside of working during the day, is that I have never heard Rush Limbaugh. No reception.
From paws to wings!
