Ameri-canine DJ Camille & The U.S. Government Shutdown At La Casa De Reilly Rosalita

Some creatures, mostly of the human variety, have "cribs", "pads", "man-caves" or ("Auntie Nicole" supposes) "woman-caves", "dens", and other various colloquially-described residences. Camille has a house which she shares with a twice-removed cousin, a "Mimi", an "Auntie Nicole", and a "Mom-Mom"; and her turntables tend to be chairs, couches, carpets, mats, beds, blankets, and any other soft surface that she can use.

As the government shutdown continues, meanwhile, Camille is obliviously chilling with her "Mimi".

As for Reilly, she is also obliviously chilling and waiting for "Momma" to take her upstairs so that they can go "night nights". "Momma", thus, is wrapping up for the night and nonetheless thinking about how a government shutdown is exacerbating her mental-illness flareup—another one which was brought on partly by not having a clear answer re a certain matter, and which has kept her up late into the night and affected Reilly.

As the saying goes, chai, zeh chai—life is life—and Camille maybe could provide some of her canine "music" for any movie that would be made about her and Reilly or her and "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle", "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" and Reilly, or whomever else.

Now Reilly Had Her Turn At Being A Pawpupshka, And a Surprise

Reilly cooperated for a "dentastick" (what "Momma" generically calls Reilly's dental-stick treats).

And the little surprise....

Camille In Reilly's Bandanna, Including In Superhero-Cape and Pawpooshka Style

Or (as "Mimi" says) Puppooshka, or Pawpupshka.

Camille iz a Yidishe pawpupskhe.

Not that Camille was happy about all of this, and "Mimi" wasn't exactly happy, either—in fact, "Mimi" accused "Auntie Nicole" of "violating [Camille]'s boundaries" by trying to keep the bandanna on her and continue the pawpupshke part of the photoshoot! Nonetheless, "Mimi" did help for some of the photoshoot.




On an incidental note, here's something that "Auntie Nicole" found before the photoshoot:




That right there is a gray hair that "Auntie Nicole" found and pulled out so that she could take pictures—with and without "Flash" turned on, on her camera—to prove that she found a gray hair, and she can tell you that things like being accused of "violating [Cam's] boundaries" just because "she doesn't like [wearing the bandanna]" affects her to get gray hairs!

Then again, that one is probably just because she's getting old—and worried as a "Momma" for her sake and for Reilly's sake.

Somewhat to Mostly Offbeat: What Do Reilly and "Momma" Have To Do With MLK Day? You May Be Surprised.

Reilly wouldn't even be with "Momma" if Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others had not fought for the civil rights of all. This is because "Momma" would've been isolated from society in general at best and maybe even very hurt at worst since she is a Jew whom has disabilities. After all, Jews and people with disabilities were certainly treated poorly before those like Dr. King and Dr. King's compatriots Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel and Eunice Kennedy Shriver fought for the rights of all Americans to be treated as people.

Even more startlingly (as "Momma" learned today, though she shouldn't have been surprised to learn it), the Congresspersons who authored the Civil Rights Act deliberately excluded people with disabilities. Of course, there weren't even federal education laws that unequivocally prohibited discrimination until "Brown v. Board"—not to mention that there were once quotas for Jews at Harvard, and Willowbrook "State School" (or more like Willowbrook Institution of Unspeakable Ableism) did not even begin to be investigated until almost a decade after the Civil Rights Act passed.

Thus, Reilly obviously wouldn't have a "Momma" with any disability, let alone a "Momma" with Cerebral Palsy and mental illnesses—and on a related note, imagine all of Reilly's canine compatriots whom wouldn't be there to help people whom needed service puppies¹!

¹ Even service dogs, despite their training, remain just as puppylike as, if one will, their civilian or laypuppy counterparts. Service puppies, including emotional-support and therapy ones, could be considered at least sort of like canine civil servants or public-service puppies, since they help Americans with disabilities such as U.S. Armed Forces veterans and others with PTSD to be able to live among the general population within an unfortunately-still-generally-ableist society.

MLK Day Card From Reilly And Camille

PS "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" came up with this as she was setting up preparations to make the card. She saw Reilly resting and Camille sleeping, and there was her idea.
