November is #AdoptASeniorPetMonth and we would like to introduce you to a very special gentleman... Moe, a ten-year-old Maltese (#PM8831) who's looking for his hero. ❤️
Moe has spent his entire life in a commercial breeding facility, where even his most basic needs were neglected. Instead of knowing the warmth of a loving home, gentle hands, and the comfort of being someone’s family, Moe has only known a life of hardship.
Now, at 10 years old and under 10 pounds, Moe is facing more challenges than any dog should have to endure. Years without proper medical care have left him with several serious medical conditions, including cataracts, a collapsing trachea, a heart murmur and he has unfortunately tested positive for heartworm disease.
We know this is a lot to take on, but we also know Moe is worth every bit of love and care he needs. ❤️
Despite everything he has been through, Moe still has so much love to give. He enjoys being gently petted and is slowly learning that human hands can bring comfort instead of fear. He needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time and will allow him to feel safe at his own pace. Moe would do well with a confident canine companion in the home to show him the ropes, but it is not a requirement for adoption.
To help support Moe’s ongoing care, the costs associated with managing his collapsing trachea and heart murmur will be covered, provided he receives his veterinary care through our Pet Health Centers.
Moe has spent 10 years waiting for a life he never knew existed. A soft bed, a gentle touch, a family to call his own. Things that so many dogs take for granted would mean the world to him.
If you can be the hero Moe has been waiting for, please contact our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center to learn more about giving this deserving senior the home he has always deserved.

Another view of the blue Dallas Skyline by Joseph Haubert. It is a beautiful sight! #TexasTurnedBlue

Dan Patrick: “I’m not going to legalize marijuana in Texas, and if people want to vote me out of office for that, so be it.”
It's interesting how these changes weren't needed when the governor was a Republican, but God forbid a Democrat would have the same powers.
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

These Republicans constantly used their position to insult and attack Texans. I’m so grateful they are gone. #TexasBlueWave #Texas

Shame on Canada for sending horses to Japan to be slaughtered.
Don’t Canadians understand horses belong on prairies not plates?
What will it take to civilize Canada?
BREAKING: Right now, dozens of terrified Canadian horses are being flown from Winnipeg to Japan in tiny wooden crates without food or water 💔🐴
Those who survive the gruelling journey will be fattened & killed for meat.
Tell the Canadian government to keep its promise & BAN this cruelty now! ➡️ bit.ly/4iV4aI1

My first statewide race was trying to defeat Ted Cruz. Now he’s the last Republican standing statewide in Texas.
We’re coming for you next Rafael!

Go home, Paxton.
We chose a different path for our state that does not include you or Abbott or Patrick or Huffines or French or so many others. No offense, but you were just not working for us.
