NEW: Nearly 40 pups from #Texas are recovering from their long journey to #Massachusetts as we get set for our next fee-waived adoptathon! The dogs arrived in #Bedford last weekend and were immediately brought to the Northeast Animal Shelter to serve out their quarantine and get checked out 1/
The Operation Kindness dogs range in age from two-months to three-years-old. They are a variety of breeds and sizes, including #Chihuahuas, #Poodle mixes, Hound mixes, and #PitBull mixes. They’re also the inspiration behind our next fee-waived adoptathon for #dogs–called Texas Home ‘Em! 3/
Lyrics:
9 to 5 / For service and devotion
You would think that I / Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead / But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is / Out to get me
They let you dream / Just a watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder / But you got dreams he'll never take away
Last year I did a regular Friday music thread on Twitter, on songs about climate change. Time to revive it here. I'll start with the songs I tweeted last year, for anyone who missed them, then: new songs! #ClimateSongs#ClimateRocks
For this week's #ClimateRocks, we'll continue our genre tour, with a rap song called "Global Warming" by #Pitbull, from his 2012 album, also called Global Warming.
It's a very short song (1:24), and acts as an introduction to the album. So even if you don't normally dig rap, take a listen...
Interestingly, #Pitbull's songs do not contain environmental messages, he just names his albums that way:
2012: "Global Warming"
2014: "Globalization"
2017: "Climate Change"
In interviews, he says: "If I made a record about [climate change], nobody would listen to it. I make records for people to have a good time, [...] but with the titles, they start to connect the dots like a treasure hunt that I put together for them
Yes, Cyndi is settling in, but had round two of super elevated energy after an hour snooze. Stevie seems to be enjoying, at least somewhat, having a dog that wants to play. Here she's on the sofa with a typical #PitBull grin on her face.
And without thinking, when she ripped a piece off her new chew toy and was trying to eat it, I just nonchalantly fished the piece out of her mouth. Well, 5 different pieces. I guess I just know & trust the breed.
Our #pitbull has been glued to my side since we returned home from #osh23. It’s the first time she’s been with a sitter and I think it stressed her out. #pitbullsOfMastodon
