My human is a bit emotional. This is the last piece of aluminum foil from the box she bought to go on her first posting in 1994. It’s gone with her to 8 different countries and home 4 times. I really think she might cry. #Costco #Alcan
A large box of Alcan aluminum foil with just one small piece left. Bought in 1994, it has gone with its purchaser on 8 foreign postings and home.

#TBT to a time when I was silly enough to have been mad at snow. You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone …
A small white fluffy pupper who has stuck his face in the snow and is mad it has stuck to his eyes, nose and beard. But now longs for those glorious days of winter.

And I’m back! World’s worst fur cut …. Good news is that even my ear infections have cleared up. Bad news is that meant I could finally have a bath (revenge was mine though - everyone at the bath place knew I was not happy about it 🤭).
A small white fluffy pupper (who is significantly less fluffy on his shaved back and front paws where he had cysts removed), lying in his sheepskin rug with a collection of stuffed friends he has gathered up to hang out with.

The face of a pupper missing his evening snack (which hid his evening meds, now discontinued - along with the extra snack). 😩.
A small fluffy white pupper wearing his Thunder Shirt, lying in his sofa with some friends. Complaining loudly and at length that he is not getting an evening snack.

Just gotta say. Playing the 1812 Overture on July 4th is just weird. I know it’s done every year. But 1. The US lost that one. 2 DC was sacked. And, even it was composed more to mark Russia’s victory over France - Russia is not an ally. And France funded the American Revolution and remains an ally.

My human may have taken to hiding my meds in food because the gabapentin makes me extra hungry … 🤭.
A small,white, fluffy pupper in his surgical recovery pjs, standing on his sofa, gobbling down his evening snack (which his hiding his meds).

TBT to the day my human brought home my teddy bearskin rug. Now that I’m a very sophisticated 12 (today! 🥳), I, of course, am only humouring her by curling up on him every evening.
A small white fluffy pupper (who turned 12 today) lying on a stuffie teddy bearskin rug, looking just as pleased as if he had “hunted” and stuffed it himself.

Day after surgery and feeling much better. No cone (of shame) when my human is with me to make sure I’m not licking the booboos. Will keep milking it all though for extra treatos 😉.
Small white fluffy pupper in his teddy bear surgical recovery jammies looking very sad on his sofa but being consoled by his stuffed squirrel.

“Just step on the gas lady, I want to go home!”
And he is. Nine cysts removed and all is well. Hamish says he must be underweight now they’re gone so no more diet!
A small, very drugged up, white pupper is safely in his car and ready to go home after surgery to remove some very bothersome cysts. He doesn’t think the blue soft cone (of shame) suits him thank you very much …

Pre-surgery meds are definitely kicking in 😵‍💫🥱😴
A small fluffy white pupper is lying in his sheepskin rug. Very dazed. His pre-surgery meds are definitely doing their job…

When you’re denied ribs for lunch, you sulk.
A small, fluffy, white pupper sulks under a chair in the kitchen because both his human and her nephew denied his very polite requests for them to share their super juicy ribs with him.

Road trip mood: are we there yet?!
A small white pupper stares balefully at the camera strapped into a car seat, wondering why he ever agreed to leave home and if he now just lives in the car.

Pink Piggy has his tongue too! #ToT
A small white fluffy pupper celebrating tongue out Tuesday, super comfy on his sheepskin rug and using one of his Pink Piggies as a chin pillow.

I have done 5/5 forced marches today! My human is trying to make up for fewer walks on the weekend when it was raining. I did not miss them though …
A small white fluffy pupper conked out on his sofa. Exhausted. You can all but hear the snoring …

It’s Saturday night and I’m ready to step out on the town!
A small, very dapper, white pupper wearing his new bow tie. Ready for a night on the town.

The handsomification process is complete. The groomer’s building is still standing (barely) and I will speak to my human again (one day). Duck treats have been deployed.
A small white slightly less fluffy pupper sits in his kitchen after surging another session at the groomer’s.

As soon as my human told me today was not going to be my favourite day, I knew what I had to do. And that was head back to my fortress (aka my suite under the bed). I have my bodyguards at the ready. Don’t know for what. But we’re ready.
A small fluffy white pupper is curled up in his fortress (AKA the Royal Suite) - a bunny blanket in the floor under the bed with a half-dozen stuffies at last count. He’s gone into hiding as he has been told today won’t be his favourite day.

I take “Won’t Look Wednesday” VERY seriously. #WLW
A fluffy white pupper is lying on a sofa with his head tucked behind a cushion. Definitely not looking.

Happy TOT! It’s so early in the morning, I just don’t have the energy for more than this … #TOT
A small white fluffy pupper stares at the scammers, clearly having been disturbed form his early morning nap. The tip of his ink tongue is sticking out. Briefly. Before he returns to his nap.

Rain, rain. Go away. And never come back!!
A small, damp, white fluffy pupper giving side eye on his kitchen sofa. Rather disgruntled at the 13847th day of rain in a row.

#TBT to when the love of my life, Scarlett, lived next door and I was determined to visit. And our garden was newly planted!

Won’t look Wednesday. Is everyday for me, but happy Wednesday friends.
A small white fluffy pupper stretched out on his mat under his ottoman in his kitchen. Definitely not looking at his human.

Happy ToT to all who celebrate.
A small white fluffy pupper lying on his sofa blankie with his tongue sticking out in honour of Tongue Out Tuesday.
