@Kobalt_IST_Gold @CallForTheWild @Shark_Con @NatGeo Run, Klarance, Run!

@SnackSafely Yes, walnut blasting is becoming a big thing. Check with mechanics before going... also, nut shells are often used to absorbed spilled oil at garages. (Epipens - always carry two.)

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@SnackSafely @innoutburger_ I was gong to say something... but I'm rendered speechless by her recklessness & the perpetuation of the minimalization of food allergies, and dangers faced by "a small amount" of allergen. (OK, I was not totally speechless... but I'd have had to wash my own mouth out with soap!)

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @RickSteves @tfoMusicians So proud of Ko for crashing it and then having such nice manners! I can't believe he held the paper as @RickSteves signed it. Best Dog Ever (don't tell all the other dogs that I say that to that I said it to you Kobalt! You know the TRUTH.)

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @floridaaquarium "I could search the world for another swashbuckling canine, but I doubt if I would find one like you."
Thanks to Eoin Colfer, author of Airman! I hope he doesn't mind me changing one word of his sentence!

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @floridaaquarium Ah, this is THE place... The "Cheers" of Kobalt's world... where everyone knows his name! "Kobalt!"

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

Ladies @TheView, you're often using Trump's "nickname" for Desantis. I don't like him, so please call him out -but use his name. Using Trump's "nickname" takes away from your points (& empowers Trump). Trump's petty name-calling is from insecurity & aggression. Let's not feed it.

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @LeslieStaven Me too. Oh so much.

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold Thanks, Ko! I sure do miss him. It made me smile to see this old video of my Bullet boy playing with his very best buddy. Floods of good memories come... some salty from down my face.

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @Jurassic_Quest There's a scent of extinction in the air!

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @sharkcon @BrettRaymer @987theshark @Gatorland @MLRProject I don't know a lot about aquariums, tanks, or @TankedUS , but I think I heard a Lutjanus jocu, aka dog snapper - or was that just a camera? Such a great duo! They look like they get along swimmingly!

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @Jurassic_Quest It's a bird! It's a dog! It's a service raptor! Has @dustydino been notified. Has @colintrevorrow casted him yet? He is a spectacular specimen regardless of his species or period from which he comes! Thanks, Ko, for spreading awareness, education, smiles, & fun thru the ages!

Bunsen and Beaker tells the truth about dog ownership. Please read & add one thing... Regular brushing & visits to the groomer with a standard poodle/doodle (can be around $120-180)! And most folks prefer a 6-8wk go-to-the-groomer schedule.

[Bunsen, Beaker, Bernoulli & Brix @bunsenbernerbmd]

We have a large social media account that shows off how adorable and wonderful dogs are.
BUT there are things you don’t see that all pet owners go through and it’s time to get gross and real.

@zoom_us wondering if you have any coupon codes? https://t.co/jNwkXXQJyv via @couponfollow

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@Kobalt_IST_Gold @PreFlorida I think that @dustydino might be able to help you with this, Kobalt!

I may not know my #mastodon frm my #mammoth (we adhere to a zero-tolerance policy regarding “fur” vs. “no fur”), but I do know a good time when I sniff it!

@bleusharque @ananavarro A seal or a donkey.

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@ananavarro A donkey or a seal, maybe!

[Leslie Staven @ISTDogServices]

@gtconway3d I loved this & had a good laugh. I have to tell you, I read it to my 85yo mother & she stood still for a moment... and, with sincerity, asked "That is a joke, isn't it?" (She laughed later!) How scary that this doesn't seem far off from what we have had to listen to lately!
