Pluto Living

So, lots of you two-leggeds probably already know about Pluto Living. But some of you don't. Here is your chance to find out. Go over to listen to her sage advice and have a chuckle or two also.

In this clip, we find that Pluto is a Dognostic. She actually celebrates all holidays, as long as they have treats.

After enjoying that and brightening your day, go search on Mr. Googlie for more Pluto Living videos. Learn about the Whacky Word Wall, listen to Pluto tell all the ways that Cats Are Amazing, and even listen to some Bad Jokes from Pluto.

If you don't enjoy Pluto, then I don't think you deserve any treats today.

Could You Do Me A Favor, Though?

Monday, April 13, is my friend's birthday. He lives in Alabama. Is there someone who would be willing to come to my house and pick up a birthday card that I signed and then bring it to his house by Monday? I would be willing to pay you 55 cents.

What? No takers? No one is willing to do this little favor? I said I would pay you 55 cents!

Okay, I am pulling your leg. But my point is - USPS. Our friendly Post Office. They have been getting the short end of the stick for a long time. And now it is looking even worse. Their business is down like everyone else. We really need them to be doing well. They are there for us when we need them most. What would we do if they were not here for us? How would I mail a birthday card to my friend in Alabama. Oh, sure. You say just send an email greeting. But that is so not the way to say Happy Birthday. Send it by some delivery service, one of the big trucks that delivers packages? How much do you think that would cost? Not 55 cents, I guarantee.

I could go on and on. But here's the thing. The Post Office has been there for you. Now you need to be there for them. Buy a page of stamps. You can order them online and have them delivered by.... your letter carrier! Send some real actual letters to your friends. They would love it.

And, let your representatives in Congress know that you want the Post Office to be there for all of us, today and tomorrow.

Now, go write a letter and mail it to someone you love.

The Important Stuff

Two things that I noticed on the internet tube recently.

First, Jimmy Fallon's daughter lost her tooth! Can anything be more important than that? Luckily, she was able to let everyone know about this important event on the TV machine. And as we all know, the Tooth Fairy is considered an essential worker. So no worries there.

Second, it was Zach Braff's birthday and I missed it, but it's not like he is the captain of a starship or anything like that. I can't remember everyone's birthday. But now that I have mentioned it, well, Happy Birthday Zach.

And there was a great photo to celebrate his birthday. It had everything a happy photo should have. There was Zach and his dog, both taking a nap. (Dogs are better at this than humans. It's kind of their thing.) A nice gentle rain is falling in the background on a variety of trees including one bonsai tree. Beautiful pale yellow daylilies grace the front left side of the photo. Soft blue cushions on the couch just melt your cares away.

Two things. So happy. So calm.

Hang in there everyone.
