We wish him well!

courtesy of your pals at the GOPe"

yes, thanks, but if Spike stays ...well,.... spiked ... for more than 24 hours, he will need to check into the veterinary (or whatever) hospital

(ps: that has to be the cleverest ‘warning’ ever dreamt up to well, pump up... the sales of a ‘medication’)

Flower knows it lives in Democrat country - if it does bloom, it’d be taxed at 90%.
