It is.
They are just so lovely and joyful.
Mine is also funny looking (not only in silly outfits, though this helps) so he puts a smile on strangers’ faces as we walk past. Always makes my day that.

Actually food seems cheaper in the UK than in many places too… wonder what makes overall ‘cost of living’ so much more then…

Who decides the order in which BBC news stories appear? An SNL scratch controversy above a bombing of hospital? Really?

Extremely proud of my healthy lunch today. I’m definitely going to be very hungry later and stuff myself with crisps… but right now feeling very smug

While some stayed up to watch the shit hit the walls across the pond, I watched my puppy’s shit hit my floor many times throughout the night. Not sure if he is available for any other political forecasts, but I’m tired out and not able to add anything clever to what just happened

He’s all grown up I guess 🥺
