Thank you, concerned activist Sarah from Illinois. If you see this, I’ve already turned in my ballot voting to retain the Supreme Court justices. I had it ready to go before your postcard arrived, and I dropped it off with the county ballot box this morning.

My dog is in fact the snuggliest dog to ever exist.

My toddler saw the “Lego flowers” at Aldi earlier this week while shopping with dad and picked them out for me. I put it together and she gets excited every time she sees them.

Kids are kind souls, man.

I’d say the current like is pretty unserious

This was a tomato garden but now there are rogue daffodils.

I did not plant daffodils anywhere near there.

The stock market may be crashing but Lager’s stock remains high.

Forever the best boy.

The world is trash but it’s spring and my kid picked out this sweet pinwheel for the yard. Little victories, people.

Exhibit A

Back when I lived in Brooklyn, I went to the Sons & Heirs valentine show every year (usually at the Bell House). They’ve rebranded but after 5 long years I get to experience the vibes once again, this time in Jim Thorpe.

The world is in shambles, but Lager turns 5 today! He remains a bright spot on dark days- a gentle and friendly pup.

I know I’m not supposed to have a favorite child, but it’s 100% this dog.

Some more napping dog content, because who doesn’t love napping dogs?

And yes, that spot on his fur *is* heart-shaped. Our sweet emo boy wears his heart on his fur.

Here’s a timeline cleanse of my sweet and unbothered dog, napping on a dog print blanket.

So does mine

Behold Lager, who lives a dainty life but always looks like he’s seen some things
