No, kitty, you already have socks, you don't need to steal mine.
A gray kitty with white paws loafs on a hardwood floor. Her bright blue eyes stare soulfully into the camera, pleading with you to let her keep the white cotton sock tucked under her front paws.

🤠 I'm gonna take my dog and her squeaky ball, she's gonna run, til she can't no more

I got the puppy full of sass, likes to eat the grass
Coat is like a cloud, now she's barkin' at my ass
She loves to leap and run, ha, yours is not much fun
Mine is big and floofy, yours rides in a purse by Gucci
A fluffy white Samoyed dog stands on a lawn, looking eagerly towards the photographer, who is holding out a large, dirty tennis ball. Her ears are pointed high, and her smiley mouth is partly open, tongue hanging out.

I have seen many wrong things in my life and this is one of them

Oh man this belly is *fuzzy*. I know it's a trap but the bait is too delicious.
A cat lies on a blue bed exposing his white belly. His eyes are closed, a blissed-out expression on his face. A hand is scritching his fuzzy tummy, and his front limbs are stretched out, one in the air. He has rather large paws and too many toes. Close-up on the blissed-out kitty face, which is gray with black stripes. His silly little fangs protrude from a smiling mouth.

I have never considered partnering with a Mx. Goldman to start a finance company, but I *have* considered:

1. Marketing software named M[atthew] S[achs] Windows.

2. Getting a job at Goldman and hoping that my coworkers might assume that I have connections.
A screenshot from the June 9th issue of Money Stuff ("The Banks Are Re-Tranching"), showing the headline "Fake Goldman" and the following text: There are tens of thousands of people named Goldman in the US, and thousands more named Sachs, and surely somewhere there’s a Goldman who’s friends with a Sachs. They could have fun together. Start a company, call it “Goldman, Sachs & Co.,” set up some meetings. “If you give us your money we will manage it using proprietary Goldman Sachs algorithms,” that sort of thing. That name carries some cachet, [1] and you could probably free-ride off that cachet with people who aren’t paying too much attention. We have talked about this sort of thing before — a guy named Rob Goldman published a research note touting a penny stock under the name “Goldman Small Cap Research” — but I guess you don’t even need to be named Goldman. As long as your company is. The Wall Street Journal reports: <<A Southern California businessman has emerged in a series of bankruptcy cases as a trustee and representative of creditors while operating a side business named Goldman Sachs Capital LLC that has no connection to the famed Wall Street bank.>>

When Halo is being particularly barky, I let her outside. This bothers me less, but my neighbors more. This is what economists call a negative externality.
A white Samoyed dog is barking. She stands in a room, next to a sliding glass door. On the other side of the door is a yard.

Tonight's dinner: tricolor rotini, roasted zucchini, NA Bellini,.and cookies with tahini
A photo of a plated dinner. A large white plate has rotini with marinara sauce, zucchini, and Parmesan cheese. A smaller plate has a thumbprint cookie with dulce de leche and a peach slice, and a glass of yellow-orange liquid garnished with a peach slice rounds it out. In the background, a fork rests on a cloth napkin with a print of colorful mushrooms.

Ah, the plums have ripened! Now, to refrigerate them so that I can pack them in lunches for the rest of the week. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

This dog loves snow.
A fluffy white Samoyed dog is on a leash, looking back towards the camera. She stands at the head of a path through a snowy pine forest. Her expression is quizzical, as if to say, "Why have we stopped when there's more snow ahead? Onwards, human!" A fluffy white Samoyed dog is on a leash, looking forward. We see the back of her head.

Sometimes, you pet the dog. Sometimes, the dog pets you. And sometimes, it's both.
An arm, outstretched, ends in a hand petting the chest of a large white Samoyed dog. The dog is standing with her tongue out facing towards the camera, and a goofy and content expression. The dog's front left paw is raised and wrapped around the arm that's petting her.

What a silly creature.
A white Samoyed dog is sprawled on an upholstered chair. She stares wistfully at the camera. One of her front paws is dangling off the edge of the chair.

Every time I have to go past this lazy dog who is asleep in front of the fridge, I feel like a quick brown fox.
A sleeping white Samoyed dog is sprawled on a dark brown hardwood floor between the grey fridge and the white counter, completely blocking the pathway. Her back is to the camera, with her pointy ears on the left and one paw sticking out in front of her. The fringe of her tail sticks under the freezer.

May all of your arm rests be as comfortable as Halo's.
A fluffy white Samoyed dog sits on the arm rest of a brown couch. She looks smug about it. One of her ears points up, and the other is folded back.

Creature double feature
A white Samoyed dog sits on a brown couch. She looks tired, as do we all. A one-eyed orange tabby cat is sitting in a cat bed. He looks longingly into the distance. Perhaps, this once, the abyss will gaze back and he will be less alone.

Timeline cleanse from Soot Sprite, Claws von Stauffenberg, Halo, and Thimble
A fluffy black cat with yellow eyes sits on top of a tote bag. The tote bag has cats on it. An orange tabby cat with one eye sits on a lap. A hand is petting him. A fluffy white Samoyed dog is standing in front of a TV. Her tongue is sticking out. A gray mouse is standing up inside a cage. His paws, nose, and mouth press against the bars. He seems to be smiling.

Halo was excited too.
A fluffy white Samoyed dog sits on a brown couch. She looks at the camera, smiling, with her mouth slightly open, revealing her tongue.

Had a pleasant walk around the neighborhood with the dog, and found a lovely variety of mushrooms.
Photo of a group of three tall oblong white mushrooms. Their tops are mottled brown and white, and the sides look like hairy scales. They're growing out of rocky soil covered with many dead pine needles. Photo of a group of two mushrooms that look like rocks and/or potatoes. They're nestled in medium-tall grass, and a third mushroom is peeking out of the grass behind them. The foremost mushroom looks like it has a bite taken out of it. Two small mushrooms -- each a thin white stalk, and a round yellow-brown cap atop -- amidst mulch and dead shrubbery clippings. An inverted mushroom cap -- the gills are on top, and the cap is concave -- is brown with some white fuzz and a yellow puffball center, atop a thin white stem. The ground is dead pine needles with a few bark chips and pine cones.

Shopping time for doggo.
A white Samoyed dog has her front paws up on a red shopping cart. She is pushing it down the aisles and looking at many bags of dog food. Her tongue sticks out slightly.
