#WoofWednesday & a Belated #TuesdayTroubles: No More Treats With A Few Exceptions For A While, Barky Reilly, Etc..

1. Reilly and Camille currently need their weights watched. Each of them gained about a pound, so their vet wants them to lose some weight. This means that for "Momma"'s/"Auntie Nicole"'s part, she won't be giving either of them treats except for after they "peedy" and/or "pooty" as well as for when Reilly needs a dentastick to clean her teeth. Reilly, though, will be getting broken-in-half dentasticks whenever she gets dentasticks.
2. "Momnma"/"Auntie Nicole" is working on obedience-without-treats training. Reilly seems to be more acquiescent to, for example, not getting a treat every time that she does tricks or gets in her crate. Camille on the other hand has met the possibility of the reward alternative quite a few times: a certain friend of hers known as the spraybottle, which "Auntie Nicole" had to threaten to use when, for example, she went upstairs without permission and refused to come down without a treat.
3. Myclonus flareup + spilled oatmeal with milk on the floor = effects of Reilly's and Camille's inappropriate barking, about which "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" was far from happy. She was also far from happy when, for instance, Reilly refused to follow her on multiple instances of the "Follow me" (and variant) commands (By the way, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole"—forgive the language—got absolutely pissed when "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" said that she did not care about the myoclonus flareups when she mentioned them, albe that "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" did apologize when "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" corrected her.
4. Not a Tuesday trouble: Reilly and Camille again had an impromptu playdate with Shelby, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" heard, and Camille even gave Reilly a few "She's my sister; let me play with her!" pawslaps despite that Reilly was being held back anyway because of her vaccine at the vet's and because she was throwing up from eating "nasties"! Shelby wasn't so afraid to play with Camille after that, as she gets a little afraid of jealous Reilly!
5. Reilly still has to wear the bark collar at present.
6.  Not a Tuesday trouble: "Momma" is (Yehovah willing) posting an early Flag Day card later today since she is working the polls on Flag Day (and the next day) for Early Voting. (Reilly won't like that, though, since "Momma" won't be home ☹️.). By the way, she isn't sure if she'll give Reilly a treat for allowing her to take pictures yet, though she may give her a low-calorie treat.
7. Speaking of #TuesdayTroubles, maybe "Momma" should be include #WednesdayWorries and #WaitingWednesday hashtags since she's still waiting for a certain answer for her and Reilly's sakes—and dangerously slipping (meaning slipping) into extreme night-owl and failing-Reilly territory (i.e., sometimes going "night nights" with an albe-patient Reilly as late as 2:00 to 3:00 AM) again for that reason (among other reasons), as well as getting more gray hairs due to it (and other reasons)—¡pobrecita Reilicita!

#SentimentalSunday: By The Way, When Did Camille Actually Come Home? It Wasn't June 10th After All, Though.

First, an incidental note:

It was actually either June 6^th or 7^th of 2015. If it is the former, "Auntie Nicole" will (God willing) include that in her upcoming book, as for Camille Dominique to have come home on the anniversary of D-Day definitely fits into a "**** That I Can't Make Up" lists of co-incidences with significant historical events. If the latter (which it apparently was), as the photo album that "Auntie Nicole" shared about Camille's homecoming is dated June 7^th , it'll still make the book given that the D-Day offensive lasted for days.

Second, the album that "Auntie Nicole" shared of Camille's homecoming:



Third, a few videos that "Auntie Nicole" recorded when Camille first came home:

The Optical Trumplusion: How The Puppetmaster Attempts To Gaslight Others Into Thinking That He's the Puppet

Notice:

1. How the spotlight goes under the curtain and shines onto the purported puppetmaster. Wouldn't the spotlight usually be on the puppet, though? Notice, though, that the spotlight is on whomever or whatever the focus is, or at least not on whatever is being hidden.
2. How the strings go under the curtain and are wrapped around the purported puppetmaster and then come back out from behind the curtain.
3. How the spotlight is set to make the curtain transparent enough that the purported puppetmaster can be seen as he's purportedly controlling a puppet.

Trump (whose name I normally censor) has created what I call an optical Trumplusion for the willfully ignorant: he has put the spotlight on Putin to make him look like he's the puppetmaster when Putin is in fact the puppet. After all, as I've said before:

1. Trump has had a history of never playing puppet.
2. He has also had a history of throwing others—including the Clintons—under the bus once he sees them as useless. 
3. Putin needed a Trump Tower in Moscow more than Trump needed one, since the U.S.' economy was better than Russia's economy and the Trump brand was an international brand. Keep in mind that (according to the tape of the press conference that is circulating) this was in 2013 and the Trump brand is likely to not be even a New York brand once Special Counselor Mueller indicts Trump.
4. Trump is playing Putin like Ribbentrop played Molotov¹.

In conclusion, then, a history-informed careful observer will notice how Trump the purported puppet is using spotlights that he is shining under the curtain to take the focus off of himself and make Putin the puppet look like Putin the curiously-visible puppetmaster. 

¹ By the way, even though Stalin even had his own equivalent of the Nazis' Final Solution" plan, ****** was worse than Stalin merely by the fact that his Anti Semitism was the worst kind of Anti Semitism. Unfortunately, he was a self-hating Jew—as his father was the son of Leopold Frankenberger, as DNA testing confirmed. I understand the attempted backtracking of the researchers, by the way. Nonetheless, people have to acknowledge uncomfortable truths such as the fact one of the worst enemies of Israel arose from among Israel and was far worse than a run-of-the-mill gentile Anti Semite like Stalin. After all, self-targeting bigotry affects far more havoc to be wreaked than standard bigotry does. 

If one needs another example, look at someone else who could very much be compared to Trump and was part of another ethnic group that Trump hates: J. Edgar Hoover, whom was apparently an African American.

Just A Friendly, Albe An Unofficial, Reminder From Reilly Rosalita The Maltipoo For Howard County, Maryland Voters

Full disclosures:

1. Reilly was bribed with treats to get her to take the pictures and wear her customly-modified shirt.
2. She did meet now-Executive and -First Lady Kittleman once when she was a very-tiny puppy, since she came home during the time of then-State Senator Kittleman's election campaign.
3. She is as barky as—or perhaps even more barky than—the speech bubble suggests. By the way, the "Always" and "Never" are, as far as "Momma" knows, "Momma"'s ideas for a revised "People, not Politics" slogan—since "Always People, Never Politics" really does describe Executive Kittleman's philosophy and takes the slogan out of the pantheon of understatements.
4. "Momma" downloaded free-for-commercial-use Graviola Font after using free online font-analyzer tools. She then used the Graviola font in this Powerpoint-made reminder card in which she also used Canon® camera-taken and Microsoft Windows® Photo Gallery- and Windows® Photos-enhanced photo.
5. The Early Voting days are on June 14-21, 2018 and October 25-November 1, 2018. "Momma" will be working the polls on some of those days, and on each of the election days 🙂. As far as she knows, Reilly can't come along, though 🙁.
6. "Auntie Nicole" could not get Camille to wear her own Kittleman shirt even for treats—this is why Camille also did not wear a bow for the Normandy card: e.g., she hates wearing anything except for her harness and her leash when she must wear it!

Since It's Still June 6th West Of the EDT Time Zone....

PS "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" began creating this card when it was still the 71st Anniversary of D-Day in the EDT Time Zone! Also, Camille would not wear the bow, though she at least posed for pictures.

Commentary: I Haven't Delayed Getting Back Into Writing. Something's Delayed Me, And That Something Is That...

The sheer combination of—among other factors—the energy drain and other problems (including exacerbations of my Cerebral Palsy and IBS) that my mental illnesses cause me (and I'm even feeling nausea and anxiety over an OCD/Anxiety-effected thought as I type), discouragement because few to no people seem to be really buying my books (and am I really supposed to feel encouraged when few to none will read what I write?), and confusion and frustration regarding personal matters which affect my medical conditions to be exacerbated have really assailed me—not to mention that (as much as I love Reilly and Camille) Reilly's and Camille's inappropriate barking affect my focus to be taken away

Thus, feeling energized to write is hard. Feeling encouraged to write is hard. Finding the time and space to write is hard. Therefore, to get back into writing is hard.

What else can I say, then?
