poem

You Are Tired (I Think)

by E.E. Cummings

You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I.

Come with me, then, And we’ll leave it far and far away  — (Only you and I, understand!)

You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break, and  — Just tired. So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight, And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart  — Open to me! For I will show you the places Nobody knows, And, if you like, The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me! I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon, That floats forever and a day; I’ll sing you the jacinth song Of the probable stars; I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream, Until I find the Only Flower, Which shall keep (I think) your little heart While the moon comes out of the sea.

bruce lee quote.

true

A game of clue with the batfam isn’t a game. It’s life or death, and the Kent’s were none the wiser.

BRUCE: Clark, I want to tell you if we lose this game of clue I’m done with you.

CLARK: huh? I’m sorry Bruce what?

BRUCE: I’m not shitting around big boy. This is life or death and I’m not losing to my children AGAIN.

*a heated game of clue begins, each in a group of two

CASS AND STEPH

BABS AND KARA

JASON AND DICK

TIM AND KON

DAMIAN AND JON

DUKE AND ALFRED

——

JASON: I’m going to beat all your asses, and this time it’s going to be two family’s? This is gonna be good.

STEPH: you know for someone who died TWICE wouldn’t you be more weary? Cuz you’re going down Todd.

TIM: NO SHOT! Me and B are the only decent detectives and if we lose somone must’ve been cheating.

The Kent’s collectively swallow in fear, they’re going to die here.

The game thickens as each place is uncovered, at one point Damian resorted to dangling kon over the cealing with kryptonite in hand,

DAMIAN:DRAKE SHOW ME YOUR CARD I WONT HESITATE.

TIM: FUCK YOU.

And as the game wraps up, we realize that nothing has come from Alfred or duke the whole game. When I rounds back to their turn duke speaks,

DUKE: I’d like to make a Geuss.

The entire family turns, slowly.

Mind you, this is dukes first experience with Wayne clue. He is just as scared as the Kent’s. If not more.

DUKE: Mrs.Scarlet, in the lounge, with the candlebar.

Duke opens the Manila envelope, if he’s right-well he’s dead. If he wrong, he’s going to be dogged on for all eternity.

There it is. Mrs.scarlet, in the lounge, with the handlebar. Duke was right! He cheers and hugs Alfred thankful he won’t be dogged on

Realization hits him.

ALFRED:master Duke. You should run.

That day Duke was almost sent to the hospital, Clark was subsequently almost broken up with in a late night scolding by Bruce, kon WAS dumped for a week and Jon lost a friend

Moral is; DONT PLAY WAYNE FAMILY CLUE.

Puppy Nutrition 101: The Best Diet for a Healthy, Happy Pup

Bringing home a puppy means lots of cuddles, playtime, and of course, ensuring they get the best nutrition for a strong start in life. A well-balanced diet is essential for healthy growth, strong bones, a shiny coat, and a happy, energetic pup. But with so many food options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about feeding your puppy the right way!

1. Understand Your Puppy’s Nutritional Needs

Puppies grow rapidly and need a diet rich in essential nutrients to support their development. Their food should include:

✅ High-quality protein – Builds muscles and supports overall growth (chicken, turkey, beef, fish). ✅ Healthy fats – Provide energy and promote a shiny coat (salmon oil, chicken fat). ✅ Carbohydrates – Supply energy but should come from wholesome sources (sweet potatoes, brown rice). ✅ Vitamins & minerals – Strengthen the immune system and bone health (calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, and E). ✅ Water – Always provide fresh, clean water for hydration.

2. Choose the Right Puppy Food

Puppies need food specifically formulated for their growth. Look for labels that say "complete and balanced for puppies" from reputable pet food brands.

🥘 Types of Puppy Food:

🔹 Dry Kibble – Affordable, promotes dental health, easy to store. 🔹 Wet Canned Food – More flavorful, high in moisture but can be expensive. 🔹 Raw or Fresh Food – Natural ingredients but requires careful preparation. 🔹 Homemade Diets – Can be healthy but should be vet-approved to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

For small breed puppies, choose food with smaller kibble sizes. Large breeds need food formulated to support joint and bone health.

3. Follow a Proper Feeding Schedule

Unlike adult dogs, puppies need multiple small meals a day to maintain steady energy levels.

📅 Puppy Feeding Schedule by Age:

6–12 weeks old → 4 meals per day

3–6 months old → 3 meals per day

6–12 months old → 2 meals per day

Once your puppy reaches 1 year old, they can transition to an adult dog feeding schedule (usually 1-2 meals per day).

4. Avoid Harmful Foods

Not all human foods are safe for puppies! Some can be toxic and even life-threatening.

🚫 Foods to NEVER Feed Your Puppy: ❌ Chocolate (contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs) ❌ Grapes & raisins (can cause kidney failure) ❌ Onions & garlic (damage red blood cells) ❌ Avocado (contains persin, which is harmful to dogs) ❌ Xylitol (a sweetener found in gum and candy, extremely toxic) ❌ Cooked bones (can splinter and cause choking or internal damage)

Always check with your vet before introducing new foods.

5. Transitioning to a New Diet

If you need to switch your puppy’s food, do it gradually over 7–10 days to avoid stomach upset.

📌 Food Transition Plan:

Days 1-3 → 75% old food + 25% new food

Days 4-6 → 50% old food + 50% new food

Days 7-9 → 25% old food + 75% new food

Day 10+ → 100% new food

Watch for signs of digestive upset, like diarrhea or vomiting, and adjust the transition pace if needed.

6. Monitor Portion Sizes and Weight

Overfeeding can lead to obesity, while underfeeding can stunt growth. Check your puppy’s body condition regularly:

🐾 A healthy puppy should have: ✔ A visible waist when viewed from above. ✔ Ribs that can be felt but not seen. ✔ No excessive belly fat.

Refer to the feeding guidelines on your puppy food packaging, but adjust based on their growth, energy levels, and vet recommendations.

7. Supplements: Are They Necessary?

Most high-quality puppy foods already contain essential nutrients, so additional supplements may not be needed. However, in some cases, your vet may recommend:

🔹 Omega-3 fatty acids (for brain development and a healthy coat) 🔹 Glucosamine & chondroitin (for large breeds prone to joint issues) 🔹 Probiotics (for digestive health)

Never give human vitamins or supplements to puppies without consulting a vet.

8. When to Switch to Adult Dog Food

Puppies need puppy-formulated food until they reach adulthood, which depends on their breed size:

🐶 Small breeds → Switch at 9–12 months 🐶 Medium breeds → Switch at 12 months 🐶 Large breeds → Switch at 12–18 months

Gradually transition them to adult dog food using the same 7–10 day transition method.

9. Keep Treats in Moderation

While treats are great for training, they shouldn’t exceed 10% of your puppy’s daily calorie intake.

✅ Healthy Puppy Treats: ✔ Small pieces of boiled chicken or turkey ✔ Baby carrots ✔ Blueberries ✔ Plain, unsweetened yogurt

Avoid overfeeding treats, as it can lead to weight gain and picky eating habits.

10. Consult Your Vet for Personalized Advice

Every puppy is different! Your vet can provide the best guidance on choosing the right diet, portion sizes, and supplements for your puppy’s unique needs.

Regular vet check-ups will ensure your puppy stays healthy, happy, and thriving!

Final Thoughts

Feeding your puppy a nutrient-rich, balanced diet sets the foundation for a long, healthy life. By choosing high-quality food, following a feeding schedule, avoiding harmful foods, and monitoring their weight, you’ll give your furry friend the best start possible.

How to Choose the Perfect Puppy for Your Lifestyle

Bringing a puppy into your home is an exciting and life-changing decision. However, not all puppies are the same, and finding the right one for your lifestyle is essential for a happy and lasting companionship. Whether you live in a small apartment, have an active outdoor lifestyle, or prefer a calm and cuddly pet, choosing the perfect puppy requires careful consideration. Here’s how to find the best match for you.

1. Assess Your Lifestyle and Daily Routine

Before choosing a puppy, take a moment to evaluate your daily schedule, energy levels, and living situation. Ask yourself:

How much time can I dedicate to exercise and training?

Do I have a spacious home or a small apartment?

Am I looking for a playful, energetic pup or a calm companion?

Do I travel often or work long hours?

Your answers will help determine the best breed, size, and personality type for your home.

2. Consider the Puppy’s Energy Levels

Some breeds require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation, while others are content with short walks and indoor playtime.

If you’re an active person, breeds like Labrador Retrievers, Border Collies, or Australian Shepherds will keep up with your adventures.

If you prefer a low-maintenance companion, breeds like Bulldogs, Basset Hounds, or Shih Tzus might be a better fit.

Matching your energy levels with your puppy’s needs will ensure a happy and healthy relationship.

3. Think About Size and Space

Your living space plays a significant role in choosing the right puppy.

Small apartments are better suited for smaller breeds like Pugs, Dachshunds, or French Bulldogs.

Homes with large yards can accommodate larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, or Huskies.

Even small dogs need exercise, so ensure you can provide a comfortable environment for your pup to play and explore.

4. Understand Grooming and Maintenance Needs

Different breeds have different grooming requirements. Some need frequent brushing and professional grooming, while others have minimal needs.

Low-maintenance breeds (short-haired dogs like Beagles or Boxers) require minimal grooming.

High-maintenance breeds (like Poodles, Maltese, or Shih Tzus) need regular brushing and haircuts.

If you don’t have time for frequent grooming sessions, opt for a breed with a shorter coat and lower maintenance needs.

5. Consider Allergies and Shedding

If you or a family member has allergies, a hypoallergenic breed like Poodles, Bichon Frises, or Portuguese Water Dogs may be the best choice. Some dogs shed heavily, while others shed very little. Researching a breed’s shedding habits can help prevent future problems.

6. Evaluate Temperament and Personality

Puppies, like people, have different personalities. Some are playful and outgoing, while others are calm and reserved.

If you have kids, choose a gentle and friendly breed like Golden Retrievers or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

If you want a protective dog, consider German Shepherds or Dobermans.

If you want a relaxed, easygoing dog, breeds like Basset Hounds or Great Danes may be a good fit.

Spend time interacting with a puppy before adopting to see if their temperament matches your lifestyle.

7. Adopt or Shop Responsibly

Consider adopting a puppy from a shelter or rescue organization. Many lovable dogs are waiting for a home and could be a great match. If you decide to buy from a breeder, ensure they are reputable and ethical, with proper health screenings and breeding practices.

8. Plan for Training and Socialization

All puppies need training and socialization to grow into well-mannered dogs. Some breeds are easier to train (like Labrador Retrievers or Border Collies), while others require more patience (like Huskies or Dalmatians). Consider your experience level and willingness to invest time in training.

9. Think About Long-Term Commitment

Owning a puppy is a 10–15 year commitment. Beyond the adorable puppy stage, your dog will require care, attention, and medical needs throughout their life. Make sure you’re fully prepared for the responsibilities that come with pet ownership.

10. Trust Your Instincts and Connection

Sometimes, the right puppy chooses you! If you feel an instant bond with a particular puppy, trust your instincts. While research is important, your heart will often guide you toward the perfect furry companion.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the perfect puppy isn’t just about looks—it’s about finding a dog that fits your lifestyle, energy levels, and personality. With the right match, you’ll build a loving, lifelong bond with your furry friend.
