Did my good-citizen duty!
At my precinct the "only" thing up for vote is the primary for a state House seat because the rep resigned two months ago, so I was pleasantly surprised at how many people were there to vote in an off-year. Let's go democracy!

It might be the end of October, but here in the South that’s still swimming time. Especially if you’re a stubborn doggo!

Yesterday was Kenzi's Gotcha Day.❤️ I can't believe we've had this sweet, adorable dog for 3 years. She's such a very good girl!
And of course very good girls deserve a few toys on their Gotcha Day even though they already have enough toys to set up their own pet store.😆

So inspired by all the folks at the No Kings protests! I wasn't able to make it, so I've been churning out letters & postcards to voters this weekend. There's only about a week left to write, so if you have a few spare minutes & stamps, grab some addresses from @votefwd.bsky.social. votefwd.org

Seeing the cybertruck posts reminded me that I took this pic when I was running errands a few months ago but never got around to posting it. Seems relevant for today's discussions.

Four years ago I felt on the verge of barfing as we got ready for the world premiere of our movie. But it went great, and I still love the wraparound we created with Madam Josephine.
If you haven't seen it yet, the next two weeks are a perfect time to watch it.👻🎃

They are gorgeous!!!
My previous dog Freya was a husky mix. She never did the snek or frog dog positions, but she was an adorable goof.

As a young girl obsessed with animals, of course I admired Jane Goodall. When I wrote BATTLE OF THE BRAINS, it was fun to comb through her research for facts to include in the chimpanzee section. I think she's the only human to get a named shoutout across both BATTLE books.
Rest well, Ms. Goodall.

Today would have been Dad's 78th birthday. I like to imagine he's celebrating by shrimping with his brother, while Freya and Chloe help navigate (and steal a few shrimp from the haul).

One of Kenzi's foster moms posted this memory from 3 years ago (~about 6 wks), so my sister made this collage of current Kenzi in similar poses.
Clearly that adorable pup grew up to be a suuuper cutie!!! And just a fabulous dog in general! I adore her.😍😍😍

I've been working all week on a grant to get BATTLE OF THE BUTTS - my silly (but educational!) book about the science of animal butts - into the hands of 250 students reading below grade level. Fingers crossed because learning via laughter is so important for kids, especially in these dark days.

Oh my, they really do look a lot alike! Does your adorable Nala have a tail? Kenzi was born without one, but I love her nubbin' butt.😆
I did the doggie DNA test on her, and she's a true Heinz 57! Staffie, Australian Cattle Dog, and Pitt Bull her biggest three.

Since it is National Dog Day, Kenzi wanted to provide 2 more angles on her adorableness.
She says today is great day to donate to local rescues working hard to save animals that humans have abandoned, like how Libby and Mace's Place Animal Rescue saved her & her brothers from a trash compactor.❤️❤️❤️

It was Kenzi's birthday yesterday!
My baby is 3! In dog years that means she's old enough to drink.
As always on her birthday, I'm reminded of her cruel introduction to the world and forever grateful to Libby and Mace's Place & her three foster moms who helped her go from trash to treasure.❤️❤️❤️
