I'd say so.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I now have a wee, solid beastie in the garage....
No collar and tag, I assume, but maybe he has a chip?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm also very puzzled by the people saying that breastfeeding is an "adult issue" that children shouldn't know about. Um, last time I checked, breastfeeding involved two people, one of whom was a child.

No collar, no tag, no tattoo that I could easily see. By the time he showed up, it was too late to call my vet or the nearby animal hospital to take him in and I refuse to call animal control, since they're a kill-shelter and I just don't trust them. I'll take him into the vet tomorrow to see if he has a chip.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
a little girl, maybe two years old or so, fully clothed, holding a baby doll to her chest, imitating her mother breastfeeding a baby.
That could have been my daughter at that age. Only Franny went for verisimilitude, so she tended to pull up her dress or top to give the doll proper access.
I am not surprised the photo upset some people. People are freaks and nonsense when it comes to fears about overly sexualizing kids. For starters, nursing isn't sexual, particularly not to kids. I am so glad Franny's teachers at the time found her behavior completely appropriate.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Barb, you should call the shelter and let them know at least, in case his people check there for him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It was probably a toss-up between a picture of actual breastfeeding (BOOBIES!! AACCCCCKKK!!!!) and a picture of a kid with a doll (KID PRETENDING TO BE A PARENT!!! AAAAACCCKKK!!!). And I'm sure the angry letters would be coming from the same crowd either way.

Our wings are not tired.
I was very casual about nursing everywhere at anytime. Adults pretend to not notice, but kids get curious and ask questions. Children don't find feeding babies sexual at all.
And of course I would nurse the boys in the airport because otherwise they would be acting up and crying and be at risk for the killing by the surly traveler. It was in the child's best interest.

“Not dead yet!”
I would have, brenda, except they're gone by 4PM on Fridays.
Poor guy, he so desperately wants to be inside, but I won't do that until he's cleared. I feel much better knowing he's in the garage and safe in a crate given that it's still raining.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The wee beastie knew where the softhearted lady lived. Good on him. Or her?
Wow, Laura, now I want to go to Ft. Lauderdale just to not eat there.
No! I say we all go there, declare the food inedible and yell at the chef, en masse.
Sparky! Oops. Shh. She and Babyfras are probably napping now.
