So now I find that my annual female exam is not covered... even though it always has been... even though I have insurance that has not changed since Trump came in.

Any of the cancer testings they want me to have next year are also not covered.

So... I guess I pay for insurance just to die poorer and not be able to afford heating oil.

I am the middle class being nickled and dimed to death... It's like being pecked to death by ducks.

and the Asthma inhaler for the cat does not work for him.

If I go to jail for something I won't have to work, get medical stuff looked at and I might be able to finally just draw and paint...

Tonight at the shelter we had a 125 pound 10 month old yellow lab. Oh My. He looks like a perfect 5 year old lab... He is very smart and wants to please, but he has not been taught any manners. He does know "sit" and "down", to get a treat, but that is it. He lived with a family in a tiny 2 room apartment and was kept on the balcony. The building does allow dogs, but dogs under 40 pounds. The other tenants turned them in because the dog was living on the balcony. The owners suck.

The dog takes two people to walk. He is wicked smart and uses his nose a lot. He is also not fixed so I suggested that maybe we call the police and see if they are looking for a young dog to train. It would be good to get this guy some structured training as soon as possible. What makes this young dog different than the dog we had to put down is that while he is strong he is not mouthy. Lets hope that being in the shelter does not stress him to and make him a jerk.
