I *LOVE* the work of the Michigan artist Big Mitten Linocuts. LOVE.

I bought this particular piece to hang over Kenna’s crate. Because second pic. (Every f*cking morning).

It’s also just a good life rule.

When you 86-lb snuggle bug fully curls up in your lap, you halt all things and cherish the moment. 🥹

Coming up on some sad anniversaries…all of which remind me to stop and enjoy time with our beloved doggos.

Today’s act of ‘defiance’ and “eat your feelings” included a rare-ish indulgence: #Costco pizza. 💖 #iykyk

AND I ate it in the car.

Ermagerd. I need these x3. Just in case I need a backup.

2025 has already been a wild ride.
I'm hoping to get my hands on some nonsense-cancelling headphones by noon tomorrow.

🥹🥹 Maeve. Talk about throwback. I fostered a partially paralyzed little pittie baby and this was the night I knew she was sticking around. We had 14 mostly wonderful months together…then she told me she was tired.

You were loved, monkey.

Sad Sully. Leaving a client’s house the other day and caught this sad face.

Why do the shy ones get to a gal the most?! 🥹

M’main man, Dougal, letting me know *exactly* how he feels about the underwater treadmill.

Diagnosed with OA & spondylosis, we’ve made EXCELLENT progress with PT/rehab.

Just a couple more torture..I mean treadmill sessions. Because he needs to live forever!

How many times a week do y’all use ‘find my phone’?! Asking for a friend. 😇

When you foolishly tell the Northern Pygmy Owl that it's Monday morning before they've had their coffee.

It’s Arctic-ally cold here in Michigan. Coping = destroying things.

Who’s coming over to Hoover?

Backing up (“beep beep”)!

We’ve been working on this as a skill for general fitness, skill-building, and it’s also an element (of 13) of the Novice Parkour test we’re working towards. We had a delightful moment the other night where she 💯 figured out what we’re doing!

New here! Feels like walking into school as the New Kid and everyone’s talking at once, you no clue where to sit, and OMG I forgot my name.

Fun dog training stuff to follow…
