@dog_rates I think Gary also deserves a 15/10!

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

@thedogist I think this is the best set of dog photos I’ve seen from you. He’s wonderful!

Hobbes, Beagle/Dachshund mix (15 y/o), Carroll Park, Brooklyn, NY • “He’s the best oldest dog in the world. He sleeps a lot more now. Dogs are just there for you. If you’ve never had one, you can’t describe it. But once you’ve had it, why would you live without it?”

@RickSteves Best of luck for a great outcome and a speedy recovery. We need your voice to continue in the conversation for many years to come!

I’d like to take a moment to share some important news. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctor assures me that, if you’re going to get cancer, this is a good kind to get, and careful scans show no sign of it having spread. There is a clear path forward to getting healthy, and this fall, I’ll be in the hospital for a few days having prostate surgery. My doctor’s fine with me filming two new TV shows in France for the next three weeks, returning home to Edmonds by mid-September. I’ll likely get my surgery in late September, be laid up for a month, and—God willing—be cancer-free and back at it by the end of October. I have great trust in my doctor and in Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. And I have lots more to be thankful for…including the support of friends and loved ones and a strong faith that I’m in good hands. While the statistics tell me I should be just fine, I’ve been fortunate to have never spent a night in a hospital — and I find myself going into this adventure almost like it’s some amazing, really important trip. I feel good about my positive attitude — and I expect to take home some delightful, if intangible, souvenirs like: appreciating and seeing a vibrancy in the little things; appreciating the goodness in people and the treasure of friends and family; being wowed by modern medicine and the army of amazing, smart, and dedicated people that make it possible; appreciating what a blessing life, health, and this world to enjoy is; and — just in general — being more thankful. I’m looking forward to many more years of happy travels, exciting collaborations, and beautiful friendships. Thank you for your love and support (and any “travel tips” you may have for me as I set off on this journey). Rick PS: I’ll keep you posted.

@gtconway3d So very sorry for your loss. They are definitely family members and missed as much!

Bonnie, May 10, 2011—July 2, 2024 Everyone loved our darling Bonnie. She was as sweet a creature as ever walked the face of the Earth. (Except, perhaps, sometimes, when you stood between her and her dinner.) Our family treasures her memory. She will live forever in our hearts.

@jaketapper So sorry for your loss. Loved following his photos.

Thanks for all the comforting words about sweet Winston, folks. Very kind of you. Here’s one of my favorite photos from the last few months. He was a very good boy and we will miss him a lot.

Such wisdom. Wish we could have another hundred years! via @NYTOpinion nytimes.com/2022/07/27/opi…

Coco still needs a home. If anyone is looking for a special dog, Coco might be the one for you!

Our CEO @andreliao just published his first blog, sharing news about the recent additions to the Appvance management team as well as our new Board member from funder @ArrowrootCap. bit.ly/3NOOR1T

In times like these, we can all use a reminder that life is full of joy if we choose to see things that way. This film is a powerful reminder and really a “how to” from these two amazing men who have overcome so much. Live in the Bay Area or virtual screening anywhere

Meet our opening night film, "Come From Away." Inspired by a true story, Come From Away tells what transpired when 38 planes were ordered to land unexpectedly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in a small town in Newfoundland. Check out the trailer here: buff.ly/3mf4cfN

Happy Earth Day! Here’s a great explainer from @NYT on recyclables vs not, a topic that we dealt with daily @DishcraftRobot. It’s definitely complicated! See how you score on the quiz: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I agree! Also, a PLUOT is definitely a fruit last time I checked, but also not on the list

The environmental threat of #methane has not received its due attention until recently. If you’re not aware of its potential harm, ck out this article:

Redistricting?

Glenn Close 👏

The idea of "languishing" makes so much sense, even pre-COVID. Thanks to @AdamMGrant for documenting this phenomena. nytimes.com/2021/04/19/wel…
