My gf’s dog, Freyja, with a bit of a sleepy blep. 💗

#dogsky #dogs #pittylove
A sleeping white and brown pitbull mix, laying sideways on a dark navy blue couch. Her eyes are mostly shut, though opened slightly due to her constant anxiety and pitty paranoia. Her mouth is open and the very tip of her pink tongue is sticking out, in the cutest blep known to man.

That chonky little hand though! I'm also a crocheter, working on the Into the Light afghan by The Crochet Crowd. Using Lion Brand Mandala Gradient in Dark Teal and a 5.5mm Furls streamline metal hook. Loving how it's working up so far!

Reminds me of a certain scene from The Muppets Take Manhattan…
A well-dressed Kermit the Frog is seated at a formal dining table. He is wearing a black suit, a red cravat, a black hat, and a tiny mustache, with a vase of flowers and set tableware in front of him, creating a sophisticated and stylish ambiance.
