And probably the best moment ever ❤️ #OperationArk
I am astonished at what I am hearing on @LBC right now about #OperationArk and the peddling of the narrative that it diverted manpower and focus on the ground in Kabul and within government. The narrative is now turning towards the 1,000 Afghans left behind to an uncertain fate…

Today the vet told me that since Covid, they’ve had to treat a number of cats with depression caused by irritation that their people are at home all day. Obviously it’s not really funny but… that’s the most Cat thing I’ve ever heard. Apparently dogs do not have the same problem.
