Just a quick PSA: I saw two slightly different "Missing" posters from two sites I didn't recognize hit my social media feed earlier. I immediately presumed they were ~probably~ fraudulent, but because they were from a town not far from me, I looked into one of them.

The @UPS driver knew the door hinge rail we'd ordered from @AndersenWindows was damaged, so took a delivery picture that hid the damage - it didn't look bent or taped. But when I got home and walked to the door, I noticed it instantly - what a difference a slight angle makes.

Why, yes - my husky *does* have an emotional support husky (stuffed). It often serves as his binky, too. ...Does he plan posable moments like this? #BinkyBoy
