A gift painted and has given to me, it carries great magnitude. My dog was beautiful, his visage worthy of this lovely portrait of a rockstar.

This is my dog, Firedrake. A sick visit turned into a one-way ride. He was a good boy. I am going to miss my handsome guy. #BlueChristmas #dogsofbluesky

This is chamomile randomly growing in my front yard, which is wholly mostly grass. I didn’t have the heart to mow it, even though I have no idea how it got there. #herbs

Back at ya.

When it’s nice enough to open the windows….

Firedrake agrees! He’s not a cat but he likes them just fine and understands we need all the big and little smiles we can get.

“I smell you have the mid-grade cheddar cheese with the tiny crunchy bits. It’s funny you think I appreciate them!”

I just had an old acquaintance say he didn’t understand my holiday dinner of baked ziti and garlic bread. I’m not responsible for making him understand this is a turkey free house and I do what I want. #Thanksgiving #holiday #single

He chewed the ropes shortly after this photo. He is why I can’t have nice things. He’s quite worth it, however.

Folks ought to secure their beasties when traveling. Beasts can become windshield cannons in the event of an accident. Sometimes they get ejected from the car & wander around injured, or worse. A harness and a seat belt adaptor are a sound investment in pet safety. Rant over. Have a pleasant day! 🩷
