Hello Friends!

Hope everyone is great! I know it has been a bit, and this post is pretty random, but I just had to share

THIS was recently brought to my attention:

Apparently it is being called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Poodle. 

Awful. 

As are the others:

These poor dogs.

Who does this to Man's Best Friend? 

There are even more shown here.

I think the worst part is one of the comments stating that these dogs love the attention. 

Mmmm something tells me dress up isn't their favorite past time. 

But that is just my opinion. 

Hope everyone had a great Halloween--I loved looking at the pictures!

"Pumped Up Kicks"

Have you heard this song? I am pretty torn on how I feel about it. It has a catchy beat, and interesting sound, and yet every time I hear it, it brings me down. Perhaps I am reading too much into it, or perhaps my interpretation is way off. But maybe not. Maybe Foster the People wrote about a young boy with a gun for a reason. Because maybe mass killings happen way too often.
I don't understand them, even though I try. I guess that is all we can do though--try. Try to understand, because we never will really know. Maybe a little more understanding would stop them in the first place?

If you have a few minutes, read "The Fourth State of Matter," by Jo Ann Beard. It is a beautiful creative non-fiction account of the University of Iowa shooting.
