I am sure his new pal Jesus will help him out.

And today, whilst creating a new account, I saw this and thought of y'all

I wish I got cats as a choice when I have to verify my existence! It always seems to be fuzzy motor bikes or bridges for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

FTSE suffers biggest one-day drop since early in the pandemic

The FTSE was down almost 5% at close of play Friday, representing the biggest daily drop since early in the Covid pandemic.

The exchange was down by 4.95% at 4.30pm today, the biggest drop since 27 March 2020.

Some voluntary extra tax (I’m in it but think it’s obscured enough not to be an issue 🤣). Took this little beauty for a walk today. How on earth has she ended up in a Dogs’ Home? So adorable.

She is the image of my brother’s last dog.

She’s bloody gorgeous. Hates kennels. One of the volunteers has taken her on trial foster this afternoon so 🤞🏻Think it’s a real candidate for a foster fail if it works out.

Ahh, beautiful girl! I’d definitely fail at fostering her!

Precisely why I don’t foster, @Saucery 🤣

Love hearing about that sort of fostering fail 😁

What does foster fail mean in this context?

Someone takes the dog home to foster it, falls in love and keeps it for good I think!

She really is a gorgeous dog.

@BestIsWesthas it! It’s supposed to be a foster but they fail to hand the dog back and decide to keep it

She's gorgeous.

Our old neighbours adopted a border collie. Working type. They were his 3rd family. He was with an elderly couple, first, who surprise surprise couldn't handle him or give him enough exercise. He is as mad as a box of frogs but gives me the best hugs and always say hello!

Since you all love her and everything else has gone to shit, here’s some Tinks spam.

She is lovely ❤️

@cardibach I am on the verge of offering to adopt her and I am a cat person! She is adorable.

That’s the type of “foster fail” we live to hear about.

children or pets!

My cousin had a foster son fail. Went to her in an emergency at 8yo. He’s still there now. He’s 22!!!!

She’s an absolute beut. I hope she finds her forever home soon

I've not heard the phrase foster fail before, but I can imagine with a dog like the one playing with a yellow ball, why that happens.

Thought I'd share this as it made me laugh. Apologies if it's already done the rounds.

She’s what I call a dangerous dog. High danger of succumbing to adopting her!
