Thanks for indulging another picture of my dog Donut. He makes a couple of appearances in today’s puzzle. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. He’s pretty great.
So are you.
Thanks for dropping by and I’ll see you again soon.

I'm a husband, father, psychologist, musician, and crossword constructor living in Catonsville, MD. My puzzles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and its syndicates, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrews McMeel Universal Syndicate, the American Values Club Crossword, Spyscape Crossword, The Crosswords Club, and crossword apps such as the Redstone Crossword Puzzle App on iOS and Google Play. All of that means I've been published in every newspaper in the United States and many others around the world. Here at Grid Therapy, I can show a bit more of myself than the major publishers can allow. I hope you enjoy your time here on the crossword couch! I'd love to hear from you if you have comments or suggestions. If you're interested in having a custom crossword puzzle created for your event or organization, email me at drtrent (at) gmail.com.
This was a good one–lots of good fill, loved the long downs (especially since I’m 15D), and, of course, loved the photo of and all references to Donut. My dachshunds also hate to hear 37A. Very nice misdirect on 17A! Finally, huge thanks for the clue for 53D. If Tucker Carlson does this puzzle, he’s fill in BIDEN and be totally fucked. Which, let’s face it, he already is.
AND I just realized that my comment about Tuck the Shmuck doesn’t work, because I confused the answer to 53D (“Putin”) as the clue (“ENEMY” to pretty much the whole fucking world.”). Not sorry I said it, though!
