We shouldn't still be here however Rubio decided this morning to do cat things outside, so we had to wait for him to come in and get a snack and go in his carrier. Mike just took both Rubio and Totsie to Dr. Silva's, and they are sharing a bunk with their ruggies, toys and I'll talk about the canned albacore later.
As you know, Trump's BS election lawsuits have been dropped. The last picture I saw of him yesterday with that Ajax clown, he looked sedated. Other than the fact that there was no evidence in any of these cases, we were kind of wondering if the attorneys who have been dropping like flies and withdrawing from representing him might have been pissed off because it is possible they were not being paid (which Trump is famous for).. I don't think any deals were cut, Trump has to face the consequences of his illegal activities unless he pardons himself, right? There are scads of places he could go to and not face extradition, but I don't think he would like any of them, except maybe Russia.
He still refuses to open up the COVID talks between the Biden Transition Team and the White House, he still doesn't get it.
So, here's the latest:

Biden Begins Transition Plans As Trump Refuses to Concede

Welcome to First Dog on the Moon's traditional Christma-adjacent missive. What a year! Wasn't it! It sure was. I could go into the messy details but we all know what it was like and I just want you know that after all we have been through, all the terrifying weirdness and sadness and all of it, please know that I love you. Thanks for being part of the First Dog on the Moon Institute. My wish is for safety and peace for all my readers and all those other people who DON'T read my cartoons as well. That is how gracious I am. I hope the end of the year is kind to you and you get at least a few quiet moments. And an emu!
We are incredibly fortunate here at the First Dog on the Moon Institute. We have been spared the worst of the pandemic and the bushfires haven't returned (yet). Tasmania always looks nice BUT it is awful and full of poisonous animals who hate you do not come here. Roy is still with us - he is a very old dog now and what he lacks in hearing he makes up for with his quiet inexorable enthusiasm for snacks and sleeping. He is a very good boy. Don't forget Roy has his own instagram and a hashtag #dailyroy. For all the Roy content you could ever want.
As always it is now time for Chrismerch! All our First Dog on the Merchandise is sourced as locally, greenly and wokely as possible. We try to only stock things which are practical - everyone needs tea towels! Socks! Books! First up remember to buy The Carbon Neutral Adventures of the Indefatigable EnviroTeens!
We have our marvellous Plush Toys which are only $15. And this year we have SOCKS AGAIN! Fresh from the sock factory, in various sizes - extremely limited numbers! Be warned last year they sold out in about 12 seconds. There are Brenda socks and Raccoons of the Resistance socks order now in time for SOCKMAS! Speaking of Christmas and its friends - please get any ordering done asap Auspost is normally a bin fire and with covid it is even more challenging, slow and unreliable. Last orders for Australia are December 10 (we will take orders after that but absolutely no guarantees about delivery times) closing date for International is probably NOW or thereabouts also please be patient with completely magical Bronte the First Dog on the Moon Institute Christmas Elf there is just one of her.
Your friend,
Firstdog Onthemoon"
