@brianonbarrington yes, I did contact Target and was polite and firm. Maybe if enough of us call and email. They told me that it was death threats and the hate messages. We cannot let this stand, we must fight for the LGBTQIA+ community. #target #targetpride #targetstore

I doubted she would like it. Annie, however, took to her new “igloo” right away. She surprised the heck out of me! We left the tag on in case she ignored the bed but it looks like we’re keeping it. 😸 #caturday #cat #catbed #bootsandbarkley #targetstore
