Why The Eagles May Be The New Football Team For Whom I Root

1. Embarrassing the U.S. internationally (i.e., in the United Kingdom) was wrong (and that goes for the Jaguars, too). 
2. I have paternal roots in Pennsylvania (and regardless of whom likes it or hates it, Jewish roots where my ancestors felt safer as Anusim in the U.S. than as Anusim or open Jews in Europe. As a Jew, then, I have to ask fellow Jews and others to remember that we'd all have to kneel if every persecuted group had to kneel—even WASPs aren't exactly as White as they'd like to think. Besides, one of the great Phillies players was Jewish—his father and one of my great-great-grandmothers were maternal siblings through Anna Haszlinsky Uszinskyova nee Jasova.). 
3. On the note in Point Two: if any group should be kneeling, Jews should be. However, regardless of our various beliefs—as a Jew is a Jew regardless of whether he or she is religiously traditionally Jewish, Buddhist, or something else—many (if not most) of us have been able to recognize that the "Judeo-Christian" country that the U.S. is often actually not has been—at least up to this point—one of the Diaspora safehavens for Jews and allies of Jews compared to multiple countries throughout history.
4. This is (as I recall) another loss in a row for the Ravens since the Ravens-Jaguars game (Divine Justice against the Ravens for being ingrates?).
5. I might root again for the Ravens when I see the Ravens players kneeling for the Baltimore Police and not Freddie Gray or other criminals, such as the toadie of a certain late priest—since they're kneeling for one criminal, they're kneeling for other criminals.

Somewhat Offbeat: When "Momma" Wishes That She Could Explain Things To Reilly Like She Can To Some Humans

As "Momma" has written, she has told and explained things to Reilly in ways that one can tell and explain things to puppies. She (as she recalls that she has) also written that she sometimes wishes that she could tell and explain things to Reilly and she can tell and explain things to humans.

Without going into details, "Momma" will say that today is definitely one of those days (especially as she and Reilly get another Gregorian month older). Of course, the only drawback would be that Reilly might be able to tell "Mom-Mom", "Auntie Michelle", Camille, and everyone else what "Momma" said, since Reilly's reasoning like a human could be in tandem with her communicating like one—after all (at least as "Momma" believes), an equine compatriot of Reilly was given enough knowledge and communication skills to tell Ba'alam something that he needed to know, wasn't she?

PS For some reason, Reilly ended up liking to relax like this when "Momma" (surprisingly, and surprisingly with her cooperation) was able to roll her over for a belly rub. "Momma" could not get her to not lay on her ear! 

Somewhat Offbeat: Reilly's Gregorian Month Birthday

Reilly's Gregorian month birthday (October 25th) falls:

1. Five days after Shelby's Gregorian yearly birthday (Happy Birthday again, Shelby!)
2. Two days after "Momma"'s Gregorian month birthday (October 23rd—just, by the way, in time for "Momma" to ache and feel tired due to exhaustion and/or a cold and/or the flu that's about to come.)
3. In between her "Great-Great-Granddad" Czarnecki's Gregorian yearly birthday (and she turned seven months old on what would've been his 110th yearly birthday) and her "four-times-removed cousin" Katherine's Gregorian yearly birthday (and Katherine could've lived to 120 this year had Breast Cancer not cruelly taken her when she was about four months short of 52).  
4. Two days before Camille's Gregorian month birthday.

PS: Reminder: if you are not breeding your female puppy, please have her spayed unless you want to risk that she would get canine mammary cancers!

A Mental-Illness Flareup And A Laugh That "Auntie Nicole" Needed Courtesy Of Camille

Once again, an understanding Reilly has endured as "Momma" has gone through another draining mental-illness flareup due to heartbreak and other flareup triggers of late. Even yesterday, Reilly dealt with as "Momma" (embarrassingly and to her surprise) overslept when she napped with her.

Camille, meanwhile, inadvertently came to a momentary rescue when "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" went to give her and Reilly their nightly grooming with the electric toothbrush: she boldly stole the treats that "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" put  on the family room coffee table when she sat down on the couch to begin grooming Reilly (whom was on her lap first), and she stole them right in front of her!

Of course, poor Reilly had to get treats to make up for the ones that Camille stole from her!

#TheManeEvent, Frontline® Plus And A Worried "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole", And A Dramatic Description Again

1. "Momma" plans for Reilly to dress up as something that'll make Halloween "the mane event" of October 2017 for Reilly—or at least "the mane event" of the October-into-November 2017 week—and sans haircut (despite that Maltipoos actually have mixed/single coats. By the way, shaving puppies with layered/double coats is a bad idea! 
2. Long story short: despite that the Frontline® Plus had been applied 30-45 minutes before "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" woke up, "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" understandably worried when Camille tried to wipe the Frontline® Plus off of the back of her neck by rolling around on a bedcover and Reilly shortly afterward licked the back of Cam's neck! (Excuse "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" for worrying!)
3. This morning, "Mimi" gave "Mom-Mom" the same dramatic description that she gave "Auntie Nicole" right after "Auntie Nicole" told "Mom-Mom" that "Mimi" accidentally put her heal under Cam's chin last night! 🤦🏽‍♀️

By the way: As "Auntie Nicole" typed, Camille just tried to go upstairs without permission again! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Quick Polls Re Fame & Notability, and...Well, Is There An Appropriate "Gate" Name For The Hollywood Sexual-Harrassment Scandal?

With all that's coming out of the entertainment industry, would (or do) you still want to be famous and/or notable? #news #polls #Hollywood

Is there an appropriate name for the current scandal in Hollywood, such as "Harveygate" or "Miramaxgate"? #news #polls #names #scandals

— N.V. Mara Czarnecki (@Nickidewbear) October 18, 2017

"Other" can be an answer like "Something like 'Miramax' is appropriate enough [or "explains it all", etc.]", as you might elaborate in a follow-up tweet. 

Small Puppies, Big Accidents

That Reilly might have OCD/Anxiety is rough enough on "Momma", especially since "Momma" has OCD/Anxiety that flares up on days like yesterday and today. To hear that "Mimi" accidentally kicked Camille under the chin flares up "Auntie Nicole"'s own OCD/Anxiety, and to hear "Mimi" describe it as her "accidentally kick[ing] Cam in the throat" really flares up "Auntie Nicole"'s OCD/Anxiety!

When "Mimi" described what actually happened, "Auntie Nicole" felt a little more relieved. Nonetheless, she's still worried about Camille's throat in the long term, despite that Camille seems fine so far. Besides, "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle" could've simply described what happened in the first place as that:

1. Camille (who's a small adult puppy whom tends to blend in with the kitchen floor, anyway) was behind her when she was getting Reilly a treat.
2. She either lifted her foot up or moved it back to walk backward.
3. Her heel landed under Camille's chin.
4. Camille understandably (as "Auntie Nicole" heard) squealed. 

"Mimi" obviously apologized to Camille, all while worried "Auntie Nicole" kept wanting to make sure that Cam is okay.
