On the upside - new game arrival! I'm very excited about the work I did on this one!

I feel like Baldr wants something. Any ideas?

This was my view while in an on-camera meeting.

This boy loves his Frisbee and can jump!

Connal is very much enjoying his retirement, and eating everything he can (although that's not a change).

Although he got very excited when he saw the list lines being put up and jumped around. Sorry buddy... I know you want to, but I've got to look out for you.

To lighten the mood, have some cuteness. I think they want something, but I can't tell.

Meant to post this earlier, but been a bit crazy. Got her finished.

This is my first tattoo, and it feels amazing and massively emotional. I couldn't be happier about it. It's so amazing, and just feels right to have on my arm.

With shepherds, routines are sacred. When @jaymgates.bsky.social takes Magni out to the office, I gave Sif and Baldr chews a couple of times.

Apparently, judging by these faces, now there's an expectation.

For context, the chews are on the shelf just behind Baldr.

Caught on camera, witness what @jaymgates.bsky.social calls Baldr's sky paw. He does this often when he and I are on the couch together. He's been a very sweet and concerned caretaker this week.

As we like to say, it would be nice if he relaxed and felt comfortable in this house...

Time for a break from the gloom and doom. Baldr is my boy and he's been a very gentle and sweet caretaker while I've been sick. This is my current view from the couch. Must protect dad.

Got some coloring work done last night and I am ridiculously excited at how the sea wolf is coming out...

They may be terrors, but they can also be very cute. Magni decided to use Baldr as a pillow, and his older brother was okay with this.

Magni is helping me use my walking treadmill while I work because if I just slide off or step off, I step on him.

Thank you?

I played a few games this year... but still want more!

I handed out chicken earlier. Then sat on the couch. This is my view. Per @jaymgates.bsky.social , the giver of chicken must be protected at all costs.

So this week I officially joined a club... I've thought off and on of getting a tattoo for years, but never pulled the trigger on it. Once I got my scuba diving instructor certification, it felt like it was time. And I must say, I'm just giddy with how it turned out. Couldn't be happier!

Someone crawled on top of me and insisted I hold his paw. My evening gaming can wait a little longer.

I think I was missed.

Not going to lie, I've been there.

Multiple times.

And will again, I am sure. 😅

In lighter news, the boys are looking very dapper today after a day at the spa!

Whenever I use the restroom, I'm closing a door and separating myself from the pack, however briefly. Someone has expectations on the petting toll I need to pay when I return. He does this every time.

And of course, he gets pets. How could I resist that face?
