YEAR IN REVIEW!!

The only thing worth reviewing: the dogs!

First up is Sahara, who we all know and love. ❤️ She stayed with me for almost six months, and is the longest foster I’ve ever had. @cathypaddock.bsky.social was nice enough to adopt her on my birthday!
A large tan and white mastiff mix sits in the snow. One ears up and one ear is down and she has a happy smile on her face. A large tan and black dog sits on a purple couch. Her tongue is hanging out of her mouth. A large tan massive mixed with a black muzzle sits on an outdoor couch. She is wearing bunny, ears, and festive Easter bandanna. She is smiling, but really she is tired because she was taken on a very long walk right before this to facilitate the wearing of the bunny ears. A large tan mastiff mix with a black snoot lies on her back on a couch. It looks like she wants somebody to bring her a beer.

Here is Lily’s adoption ad!

I’ll be writing a new one this week as I get to know her better.

I got barked at for taking Lily’s picture.

Oh hey, did you think Lily was cute? She’s coming back. Her foster’s dogs don’t get along with her.

I did manage to get some heeler snuggles. 🥰
A snoozy little heeler rests her head on a human lap. Her eyes are closed, and her ears are still attentive.

Just finished listening to “In the Time of the Butterflies” by Julia Alvarez. Definite recommend. Written in 1994, but a story for our times. Historical fiction about the Mirabal sisters and the resistance in the Dominican Republic during Trujillo’s regime.

I had just put all the dog things away, so I was not prepared for guests. But there was an emergency and Lily needed a place to crash for a bit.

Do you want to see the girl who wouldn’t get into my car for an hour when I first picked her up? Here she is, happily riding in the car with her dad. ❤️
A large white Pyrenees mix stands in a car looking over her dad’s shoulder. She has a big smile on her face and is excited to see where they’re going.

Somebody is extra sleepy and snuggly. 🥰
A brown and white pitbull mix is resting her head on a human shoulder. She has one paw also resting on the shoulder and is snoring loudly into the human’s ear.

Mabel has the right idea for Monday. 💤
A little brown and white pitbull with a white nose and a white stripe on her head is curled up in several blankets and pillows. She is snoozing peacefully.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Hello, would you like to see Mabel’s little teefs? 🥰

I feel like I never see snow in the forecast, but when I wake up, there’s more snow to clear. 🤨 Where do I file my complaint?
