I was so excited about Donuts, I forgot yesterday was National Gun Violence Awareness Day. It's okay, I guess. My gun generally isn't violent. Mostly, it just lays there. Plus, you're suppose to wear orange and that's not my color. I think the only orange article of clothing I have is the goofy safety vest Mr Animal bought me to take night runs in because he was afraid I'd get hit by a car.
