It’s disgusting how much I love this mad little beast.

This dog just murdered a bird. I am utterly traumatized.

I genuinely wish I had your propensity to seek positivity and beauty. I too easily become mired in despair. But here is my attempt at beauty: my dog’s absolutely perfectly imperfect ears.

People are being snatched from their families, too many will lose their healthcare, my family now cannot get Covid boosters… Everything is shit. But here is Suki and her magic ear.

Violet and Charlie Brown are walking past Snoopy on a sidewalk. Violet says, “Dogs are a stupid lot!” Charlie replies, “Oh, I don’t think so.. I think dogs are pretty smart! I think we’re lucky to have dogs with us!” Charlie then shouts to Violet, who is walking away, “I think having dogs around has made this a better world!” In the final frame, Snoopy is giving Charlie a grateful hug.

Tried dressing Olive and Suki up for the holidays. Just some around-the-neck decorations. Yeah, they chewed them off of each other. Well, it was cute for about 30 seconds.

The scarf, hat, and boot-clad native Floridians are out this morning. It’s 50 degrees. Meanwhile, I’m still wearing my flip flops.
Today in Florida. A man bundled up in a coat and hat walking a dog also wearing a coat. A couple walks by him wearing swimming clothes. The freezing man mutters, “tourists!”

This is Suki. Unfortunately, only 1 ear is verified.

A cartoon of a young boy asking his father a question. The father answers, "I'm a social scientist, Michael. That means I can't explain electricity or anything like that, but if you ever want to know about people I'm your man."

Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Calvin sits at a makeshift desk with a sign that says “A swift kick in the butt $1.00.” Hobbes walks up and asks, “How’s business?” Calvin answers, “Terrible.” Hobbes looks faux surprised and says “That’s hard to believe.” Calvin says, “I can’t understand it. Everybody I know needs what I’m selling!”

I fear the couch incursion has set a precedent for further offensive actions. Full couch occupation imminent. Olive and Suki remain unrepentant.

Yes, Olive, they’re cutting the grass. I know they’re loud. No, Olive, they’re not here to murder us.
She’s less watch dog and more anxiety dog.
