@NiallHarbison Larry's such a handsome pup and a keeper. In his size and vizage he reminds me of your beloved Snoop🕯️🙏, although Snoop had more white around his muzzle, which might have come about as he aged.

Thank You For Everything Snoop - You Were My Superhero 💔

After over 11 wonderful years of tremendous company I am starting a week without my best friend. Snoop died last Friday morning and it feels like I have lost a part of my very being, such was his importance to me. He was as kind and gentle a creature as you could ever meet and was the best listener with soft wisdom in his beautiful eyes. Snoop was a rescue from Ireland who died peacefully at about 14 years of age.

A Dog Who Had A Big Impact

You’ll hear people say that somebody left a huge impression on their lives. For me it was a dog. It’s no exaggeration to say I wouldn’t be here today were it not for Snoop. He’s been with me through depression, binges, anxiety attacks and every other major event in my recent life.

When I ended up in hospital after nearly drinking myself to death 2.5 years ago the thing that brought me to my senses was Snoop. Laying there in ICU at absolute rock bottom the thing that got me to finally change everything was the thought of Snoop and how he had devoted his life to me. I couldn’t leave him alone. He’d never understand. He’d never recover from that. Snoop saved my life and I will be forever grateful for that.

I'm also that in the last couple of years he's finally seen me at my happiest helping his friends. Snoop had a huge part in that transition.

We Did Everything Together 🏃✈️ 🎾

Anyone who knows me will tell you Snoop was never far away. We’d run 5kms around Dublin. He’d come with me on hikes around Ireland and England. All my old work colleagues knew and loved Snoop from the offices. He came to Manchester and then Thailand with me. We swam in the cold Atlantic and the warm water here in his older years. We also hid under the covers when I had depression. He comforted me in the shame of coming down, with the curtains closed. He never judged me once.

This was us reuniting in Thailand after his long journey over. He took it all in his stride.

Resting With His Friend 🥥❤️🌴

Snoop is buried in the most idyllic spot I could think for him. In the middle of the jungle beside the beautiful Tina. Just like her, he adored chasing tennis balls in his youth. They provided great comfort to each other in the last 3 months as their health declined rapidly. They might both have been sick but they provided me with so much love and we shared many laughs and magical moments.

The wind has been taken out of my sails. I feel flat. I’m not afraid to say I’m exhausted from losing 2 special dogs within a week of each other.

My biggest worry in life had always been what I’d do if Snoop died. I had it triple underlined as a huge red flag day for me relapsing.

I’ve been preparing for this moment for nearly a year as his health declined. That is why I kept It to myself and a handful of friends for the last few days. It’s so much to process. The best thing I can say is that as I write that Im drinking orange juice and eating fruit and more determined than ever to change the fate of dogs around the world.

Snoop was quiet and understated as a dog. A gentle soul. His purpose in life was to keep me going at a hard time and to set me on a path to help his friends in need.

My job now is to keep my word to him and stay sober and get everything I told him about in our quiet moments together recently accomplished.

Thanks Snoop. You truly were my superhero.

Anderson Cooper just asked Harris why she and Biden haven't fixed all the issues she's talking about over the last four years.

Really? I mean, were you in a coma? Did you miss the part where they had to clean up a pandemic, save the economy from flatlining, rebuild crumbling infrastructure, and fend off fascism both here and overseas?

Maybe flip that question over to Trump, the guy who actually had four years in office and somehow managed to be ranked as the worst president in history by historians. Yeah, let's hear his answer.

[Stephen Landau @SRLscriber]

@ChrisDJackson You have to remember the on-air talent, as they're called these days, are not Murrow, Collingwood, Hottelet, Severeid, Cronkite, Wallace, Brokaw, Woodruff, Ifill, Koppel, Reasoner, Brinkley, Rather, Bradley, Smith or Mudd, or the Kalb brothers, et al of yesteryear‼️

@MavrocksGirl May the memory of your beloved father be a blessing and an inspiration to us all to do what is right and moral.

My father marched with MLK while he fought for civil rights at a time when it wasn't the most popular choice... He stood up for #Equality

Hitler's power wasn't taken, it was given. And once he had control he enacted his horrifying, dictatorial agenda.

The same dynamic is at play with Trump.

[Stephen Landau @SRLscriber]

@ProjectLincoln The historian Robert Paxton, decided to change his mind and publicly declare in a column that appeared online on Jan 11, 2021 that the invasion of the Capitol
“removes my objection to the fascist label” applied to Trump and Trumpism.

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump Family and friends were no doubt surprised that you Turned MAGA, showing just how depraved and supportive of Trump's fascist agenda you are.

[Stephen Landau @SRLscriber]

And keep in mind the words of John Kelly ... makes Ackman looks like the depraved, spoiled billionaire he is.

Billionaire Bill Ackman (Pershing Square CEO) is a fascist Trump supporter, currently being "interviewed" on @CNBC @SquawkCNBC by Trump surrogate, the bloviating Joe Kernan. Overall, a dangerous and pathetic indictment of the media today.
