Just got a great new job, but it’s getting in the way of my dog snuggling, crafting, cheese eating, and bourbon drinking.

It’s hard to find a “Won’t Look Wednesday” for Benji because he’s never seen a camera he didn’t like.

But he will pretend to be asleep. If he doesn’t open his eyes, how can he possibly get out of bed?

There are no snuggly bulldogs in this, but it will still do your heart good.

Just when we needed a little happy, Cadbury eggs are back in the store and ANIMAL CADBURY EGG HOLDERS are back on my Etsy store!

Just saying: there are three holders, but the eggs come four in a pack so you will have to eat the extra one. Thems the rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Paper crafted animals that hold Cadbury eggs. There is a land set that includes a poison dart frog, a cockatoo, and a tiger. And there is a sea set with a crocodile, manatee, and an axolotl.

Benji enjoys watching the tortoises get baths, but he is very suspicious that he may be next.

Two plastic tubs are on the floor, each tub containing a large tortoise. A very handsome brown bulldog is sitting next to the tubs, appreciating the show, but worried that he’s next.

For those who remember my WW3 with my sleazy backyard breeder neighbor, I have been closely watching my boyfren Zeus who is out in this weather far too much. I finally took him this dog bed and look how happy he is!
A devastatingly handsome brown mastiff with the sweetest face ever to grace a very good boy is lying on a fleecy dog bed. He is out on a deck surrounded by junk and you can see snow and ice under the deck. But he is sleeping like the baby he really is. Can you tell I love this guy and wants to burn his owner at the stake?

In honor of the Olympics, my dogs synchronized sleeping.
Benji wanted to demonstrate curling, but he’s too fat to curl up.
A very handsome brown bulldog is sleeping diagonally across the bottom of the bed. On the floor, a spotty basset hound mix is laying at the exact same angle with his feet, stretched out in exactly the same way.

I’ve been sharing so much cute bulldog lately and I wanted to switch it out with cute leopard tortoise. Turtling is a thirsty business!

I told Benji I have to go to a meeting today and he can’t come. I’m guessing this spishusface means he thinks we should try anyway.

New great life regret unlocked.

Why didn’t I know I could apply to be one of these bundles of grass?
I would tell everyone I met for the rest of my life that I performed in the Super Bowl halftime show.

Bulldogs are a full contact sport and Benji is on the varsity team.

Sometimes when I’m working in my craft room/home Office, I realize Benji is whining pathetically off in the distance. It usually means that Sully is blocking his way in, and he’s too scared to walk past him.
A very sweet brown baby bulldog is sitting sadly in a carpeted hallway. A spotty basset hound mix is lying happily spread out across the hall in the foreground, trapping the scaredy-cat baby bulldog on the other side. He is sitting there crying his heart out, hoping someone will come escort him past his brother.

They say life imitates art. In this case, Benji and my husband are imitating the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.
A perfect brown baby bulldog is sleeping with his head on a pillow and about an inch of tongue sticking out. The hand of a very handsome husband is resting on the pillow, with the thumb barely touching the dog tongue. It looks very much like the painting on the Sistine chapel.

I’ve had a tough day. Anybody wanna have a nice shot of Doritos nacho cheese distilled malt beverage with me?
A bottle of alcohol with a Doritos label on it say “vacuum distilled Doritos nacho cheese”. A little research proves that this alcohol is malt beverage based. I’m pretty sure that means it counts as a vegetable.

It’s Wednesday. The snow is not leaving. Breakfast is over and it’s a long time till dinner. But for now, there’s this sun beam.
A perfect brown baby bulldog is splooting on the carpet in a sunny spot. His eyes have a far away look, and his tongue is resting on the carpet.

Some folks have pointed out Benji’s crusty nose. It’s a bulldog thing, the vet is aware. We just try to keep it moisturized, and I give it lots of kisses in case that helps.

Oh dear. Auntie sent ducky jammies. I can’t tell if Benji loves them or hates them.

When you’re a baby bulldog, the hardest part of the day is sorting out your tongue after it’s been hanging out dry all night.

Just found out that blue traveler, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors are touring together this summer. I have just found something to look forward to in this bleak, awful world.

Anybody want to give an amen?

Saturday’s laundry day, and Benji is helping change the sheets. He has no idea how all that slobber got there.
A perfect brown baby bulldog is looking up at the camera. He is standing in a pile of sheets and is wrapped up in several sheets. For the record, he produces a prodigious amount of drool when he sleeps and he is the reason we need to change the sheets so often. He is sorry, not sorry.
