The pups were loving the cool weather on our walks this morning #doberman

Thor the Doberman did not find the husband’s sociology reading to be very engaging…

I don’t really except great history from my home owners insurance company, but there is so much fake history here I don’t even know where to start. 🗃️

1. I guess I need to finish my book & get it published but then I’d like to be a guest myself!
2. Stuber & The Big Sick would both be great conversations.
3. SNEH made the cornbread & I made the chili #HATM

My series w/ The Great Courses, "Forgotten America: Rediscovering Events that Changed the Nation," is on Audible.
I noticed this review & had to laugh. Still got 3 stars out of them!
For super cool histories of inoculations, the Capitol Crawl, or the Hayes Code, check it out! 🗃️

I’m using the trick or treaters to train the dogs to not bark when someone knocks or rings the bell & they get treats after the kids leave the door so they are super into Halloween!
Please enjoy the pics of the stuffie massacre in the backyard from before nightfall too.

Good night from the pups!

A quick skillet meal made and both dogs passed out watching the movie… #HATM

Sorry to miss this evening. Got caught up cleaning house, grading exams, preparing a revised lecture, & making Italian sausage soup for me & SNEH who is on week 4 of recovering after a sinus virus & finally on the mend. Catch yall next week! #HATM

Thor, the red male Doberman, kept going to sleep in the closet for a few hours a night, so we thought he might like a kennel. Set one up only for Daisy the black and tan female Doberman to claim it. Looks like we might end up with 2 kennels.

Ironically I’m over here crocheting hexagons for a honeycomb inspired blanket for a Winnie the Pooh themed nursery for a colleague’s grandbaby. #HATM #TheMartian

Had a lovely time coming back to the Texas A&M history dept for a panel of TAMU grads who all work on Texas history. Got to meet some really cool people. Thanks for the invite @tamu.bsky.social

Thor the Doberman fell asleep, woke up, and then kinda fell asleep while sitting up again. #HATM

The shoes were amazing! I wore them only twice (other than rehearsals): our wedding and my PhD graduation. #HATM
October 6, 2025 at 12:43 AM
The Dobermans have called it for the night! #HATM

So it wasn't dirty dancing, but I'm still proud we managed 2 dips in our 1st dance at our wedding and he didn't drop me. It was close though. Rented tux shoes on the polished dance floor were a bit slick for SNEH. #HATM

Happy birthday to SNEH (my sarcastic New England husband as #HATM knows him)!
He’s still on the mend from a sinus bug so we did a low key brunch on the back patio.

1. Samantha Mabry's "A Fierce and Subtle Poison" ahead of banned books week where she will be our speaker!

2. HEB Lasagna and toast! #HATM

She and Thor are both dobermans. Though my understanding is the breed is about 1/3 Rottie so pretty close!. Xo is adorable! D

Last night at dusk with the pups after a 1 mile walk for each. Daisy (black and tan female on left) got to meet 2 new people on her walk and got pets so she was on cloud 9.

The Dobermans (Daisy & Thor) were being their goofy selves, wrestling while lying down in the yard with their barkbox giraffe today.
September 14, 2025 at 12:01 AM
Both of the Dobermans are snoring already. Do not take this as a measure of how good the movie is though. #HATM

An exhausting first day of fall semester is in the books. Lots of tweaks to make to assigned readings & the LMS tomorrow, but not a bad start.
And yes I wore a matching mask and used my microphone aka Britney. 🗃️

Well they weren't roses. But suffrage carnations/daisies were just as thoughtful! (She apologized the pink ones looked purple online-how sweet is that?!) #HATM
