I was lucky enough to be given Taking Flight by @levparikian.bsky.social for Christmas. What a wonderful book! I just disturbed a moth in our laundry and felt wonder as I watched it flutter past my face. A book to make you marvel at incredible flight without even leaving the room!

I post a lot of good news about dogs on Twitter but A lot of people asking to also post here now.

Struggle to find the time but if I get over 20k followers here I'll find a way to post daily.

🎤 Mic check. Is this thing on?
