Happy 3-year gotcha day to my beautiful Winnie!

She is my first rescue dog and it was a learning experience I underestimated. She's grown to trust me and that is something I think about everyday. The fact that I am her human means *everything* to me.

I truly love this lady 🥰❤️

#Photography, ‘Sergeant Stubby’ (1917).

He warned soldiers of mustard gas & found wounded men on the battlefield. He served eighteen months & was in seventeen battles. Stubby became a national American hero, survived the war & passed peacefully in 1926.

I've never seen We Rate Dogs do *anything* like this and I've been following them for years. You have to understand how bad things have gotten when one of the most wholesome and good-natured brands on the Internet is dropping f-bombs and calling out ICE.

Yesterday was Barnaby's 3rd gotcha day!

I can't imagine life without this little turd. He's my little velcro dog, always by my side whether I want him there or not 😂. I could not have asked for a better frenchie for Moley to send me. The best boy, my number 1 son, Barnaby ❤️

Just finished Herdling by @okomotive.ch and what a beautiful game! I did not expect to fall in love with a game about sheep herding, but the fierce protective nature that took over my soul when a calicorn was in danger was overwhelming. They are my children. Highly recommend. ❤️

Saw a female cardinal fly into my rose bush with some food and wondered if she had a nest in there. Turns out she did 😊🐣

One of the first tarantulas I acquired passed away on Monday. A Psalmopoeus irminia, or Venezuelan Suntiger, I got him in 2020 with a few others that I still have. Unfortunately, he matured out last year so I knew it was only a matter of time.

One of the best feelings in the world is finding out your pet insurance covered most of your dog's surgery. 🥹

I recently found out the Austin Public Library has a digital only library card and it's bringing me so much joy! I'm reading like I did back when I worked at a library ❤️

It was a rare sight to see in Texas this morning. ❄️🌨️❄️

Meet Irma! ❤️

She's a year old and was surrendered to a local pet shop. She had been there almost a month, and I figured it was time for her to get an upgrade in life and join the zoo. I love her sweet demeanor and it didn't take her long before she started snuggling with me 🥰

Happy Winter Solstice & Happy Holidays everyone! 🌙🎄🍊

I’ve been learning a lot about Yule and its traditions this year, so I treated myself to an advent calendar of witchy items that spans the holiday. Really excited to open one each night!

Happy 2-year gotcha day to my beautiful bully Winnie!

She's the warmest bed heater you could ask for and her booming bark is a force to be reckoned with! She keeps those solicitors moving 😂

I have so much love for this girl, I can't imagine life without her. ❤️

Lost my chonky girl, Mavis, suddenly on Monday. She may have been older than I thought when I rescued her, as her time seemingly had come. She was a wonderful beardie, with perfectly balanced sass and snuggles. I'm going to miss getting her side eye when I was late getting her breakfast ready. ❤️

Saw a beautiful mother wolf spider carrying her babies for the first time this morning! This has been one of the many things in nature I've always wanted to come across. She was beautiful ❤️🕷️

With age comes forgetfulness... that said, yesterday was Barnaby's 2nd gotcha day!

Each day he reminds me why I love him so much and I'm so lucky to have him by my side. He's loving, he's insane, he's my little clown, but most importantly he's my sweet baby Barnaby ❤️

Happy National Dog Day! 🐶

Make sure you give your pups extra scritches today, Barnabus demands it.

It’s been one year since I brought my beautiful Winnie home. She’s my first rescue dog and it’s been such a rewarding experience.

I’m so glad you’re part of my family, Winnie. ❤️
