She's been at our shelter since 2013. Eleven years. Every person who met her said she was wonderful. Every person walked past her kennel and chose a younger dog. She stopped coming to the front of her kennel a few years ago. Stopped performing. Made a quiet peace with being where she was." Last Tuesday a veteran came in. He said — "I need a calm dog. I'm still learning how to be still myself." I showed him three dogs. He was putting his jacket on to leave. He stopped outside kennel seven. Luna looked at him from her bed. Didn't perform. Didn't come to the front. Just looked at him the way she looks at people when she decides they're worth seeing. He said — "Can I sit with her?" He sat on the concrete floor at her level. Not the bench. The floor. That was 11am. At 3pm I looked in. He was still there. Her white muzzle was in his hand. Their breathing had synchronized. At 3:15 he came to the front desk and said — "I'd like to take her home. I think we need each other." I excused myself to the back room and sat on an overturned bucket and cried for a long time. He texted me yesterday — "First time I've slept through the night in three years. I think she was saving that for me." She was. Eleven years of saving it. For one Tuesday. For him. Drop a ❤️ for Luna. Share this for every senior dog still waiting for their Tuesday. They're saving everything they have for the right person to walk through that door.

Explaining that Reform HQ told him to lie, just lie about policies, tell the electorate what they want to hear
He won’t name what top figure it was in fear of retaliation from them

@KenSkatesMS Excuse me... Where have you been the last 26 years? Have you heard of BCUHB by any chance these last two and a half decades?
Still deluded.
This video made my week ❤️ Djokovic is one of the kind. This ball girl is an absolute sweetheart and has an adorable accent. Don’t let the mainstream media shape your perception of Djokovic
@implausibleblog What a rude, obnoxious individual Mr Jenrick is. It's pretty disgusting when a grown man who pretends to care about the well-being of children, orders cartoon murals to be painted over in case refuge children feel welcome. Despicable and nasty.
'Imagine being told you have a disease that will rob you of your memory, your independence and your ability to recognise the people you love – and then being sent home with a leaflet.
'That would be unthinkable for cancer.
'Yet for dementia, it happens all the time.
'A leaflet is not care or treatment.
'It doesn't help a frightened husband, wife or daughter when the person they love starts to disappear in front of them.
'The NHS is meant to be there for everyone who needs it but people with dementia are being cast aside and left to fend for themselves.
'People with dementia are not asking for special treatment. They are asking to be taken as seriously – and with the same urgency and compassion – that we rightly expect for cancer and heart disease.
'We need the same national mission, the same targets, the same urgency and the same refusal to accept late diagnosis and poor care as inevitable.
'If ministers can find the will to transform cancer care, they can find the will to transform dementia care.'
