A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.
Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.

There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.

Back when I was a pup, youngster, it wasn’t so easy. There’s lots of stuff you-all don’t have to deal with. Such as:

We had to plan our TV watching around a printed schedule. No VHS, no streaming.

“Top Cat!! Did I miss it??”

We had to record our music from the radio.

“Wait! Wait I haven’t started recording yet!!”

Our 3 channels of TV went off the air at night.

No Signal TV Test Pattern Vector. Television Colored Bars Signal. Introduction And The End Of The TV Programming. SMPTE Color Bars — “That’s REALLY all, folks!”

And don’t forget rewinding a cassette before returning to the library.

We had to knock on our friend’s door to see if they could come out and play.

Our phone was attached to the wall. Just one. No answering machine.

The Wizard of Oz was on once a year, and if we missed it we had to wait another year to see it

“It wuz our faborite!!”

On the other hand, we could be goofy and not have to worry about it ending up online.
