Jaded, music loving, book reading, fiesty Boxer dog guardian, 40 something married Arizonan.
I brought Pinky home yesterday.

After I settled him in the bedroom I went to the porch and his butterfly was back.
I had been checking every day, but this was the first time I saw him again.
I sat with him a bit and then left him in a safe spot to rest.

I lost my heart dog on Friday, and I'm sliwlyblearbing this new reality without him. I hate that it happened. I know with all my heart that we did everything reasonably possible. I know we loved him and he loved us beyond words. A butterfly visited yesterday, I said goodbye again. Forever Spicy ❤️‍🔥

Pinky's morning at the Wag World Sniffspot !
He had loads of fun and plenty of sniffs.
We got some super cute pics too
Hope to go back again soon!

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Randomly decide to stop by the brewery down the road from where I'm where I'm dog sitting. Pleasant surprise to see 2 of the guys from local punk band It's Fine doing a solo-ish show there.

Spicy Nugget had a rough week. Separation anxiety stress through the roof, resulting in bloody poo and a very swollen tookus
Thankfully, there is no hernia, just a very raw rear!

Poor Spicy Nugget
I'm dog sitting this week, and he fought through his meds 2 days in a row causing bloody poo blowouts
Bath, blow dry, nap in the Outbark. Toothandhoney jammies on, and now he's sleeping
Need to talk to the vet about a different med or dosing to help his anxiety

This feels like the perfect day to post this over here. Some of my favorite dystopian novels. Read them while you still can. #booksky 💙📚

Found a lump behind Spicy Nugget's knee last week
Google suggests lymph nodes.
Dr Boshoven said he isn't over concerned but, better safe than sorry.
They aspirated and sent it out. Hopefully we'll get results mid-week.
Fingers crossed it's just a normal immune response to some inflammation

Always and forever my favorite even though it was off air by the time I was 3

Instead of wasting my time watching the inauguration of the orange fascist I will be taking one of the rescue dogs in boarding on a field trip with my co-volunteers. Then spending time honoring Dr. King by giving back to my community and those in need.

Yep, Bluesky might be the only oasis of freedom left, at least for now. Cherish it!

Trying out new recipes is one of my favorite things. We fell into a bit of a rut recently and did more eating out. Closest thing I have to a NY resolution is getting back to cooking more.

Happy New Year!

May it be calm and quiet, like a deaf puppers sleep through the fireworks

It's breezy and chilly this morning. These doofy birbs are all puffed up, sitting spaced apart on the fence where maximum breeze is happening instead of huddled together, or at least where there's more shelter.

The only present I really wanted this year was for Pinky to be healthy and happy.
At his 2 week post-op check for his pacemaker Dr. Miller said it looks and works great! He still has to take it slowish for a bit but he is cleared for walks and jumping onto the regular bed again
Best Christmas gift!

I wish I could say I have at least a Love/Hate relationship with IPA's, but I don't.
It's more of a toxic relationship where I keep going back, hoping it will be different this time only to be massively disappointed.

Pinky is home!
He was pretty drugged, I strapped him in the front seat to keep a hand on him. Calmest car ride ever 😂
Slept most of the day. Ok'd for couch and bean bag climbing, no big bed jumping.
Recheck in 2 weeks & in 6 with imaging
Thrilled he's home, and we can snuggle "carefully."
