Peace talks failed when the grasshopper startled and fell off the ledge.

The predator and prey, locked in the ancient dance.

Ritual time. If you're headed to see Ghost tonight, I've got the friendship bracelet hookup!

Days are tough. Please enjoy Big Bay sharing his bed with Little Apollo (or, as we call him, Pretty Boy 'Pollo).
A long-haired grey cat curled up sleeping on a giant dog bed next to a huge, shaggy brown Newfoundland dog. The cat has the bigger side.

I am calling him. He does not hear me from over there. Could I please speak up?

This is the face of a dog who fled to the other side of the room to avoid grooming.

Just noticing how pretty these books look together in my Kindle library.
A picture of three nature-themed book covers together. The books are "Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear" by Seanan McGuire, "The River Has Roots" by Amal El-Mohtar, and "Absolution" by Jeff VanderMeer.

These are all vultures. I'm feeling less confident about the health and safety of my neighborhood.

I'm so proud of this handsome lad. His training has taken him from barking at every dog he sees to doing laps around a dog park without a peep. He did so well today that he got to meet another doggo. He's working so hard.

I can't fix the awful stuff happening right now, but I can, at least, provide you with a smiling dog.

It's a nice, warm day outside. We're sitting on the porch, watching the sun creep up on us, listening to the chickens and ducks and turkeys chatting in the neighbor's yard. I didn't get to do this last year. I lost most of the spring. So I'm doing it today, with my dog and my book.

My handsome lad got himself a groom. His coat is finally in shape for us to let it grow back in normally and keep him maintained between grooms. (When we rescued him, he'd required three groomer appts to get rid of the neglect mats. His coat was in rough shape. He's good now. Next, nose balm.)

A tale of dinner preparation and diminutive stature.
A wooden dining room chair with a smoke alarm on the seat. A nine-volt battery sits next to the alarm on the seat. Beside the chair sits a stuffed dog toy.

Bay thinks of you often!
A long-haired brown Newfoundland dog heavily dusted with snow, standing in the snow. He is wearing a blue gentle leader halter connected to a minty teal leash. He looks very happy with his snowy situation.

You need a dog today. Bay is happy to help.

This is not the furry friend I bought this bed for, but it is the furry friend who has claimed it.
A long-haired grey cat curled up asleep on a massive blue dog bed. Beside him is a dirty tennis ball. Beside that is a red Kong toy. Above him are a stuffed bear and a stuffed fox.

How my day is going. Thanks to @kevinhearne.bsky.social and Atticus for making the wait bearable. Man, fuck Newton's first law. And physics.

I really thought I had more than this.
A bag of raisins sitting in a white plastic container on a full pantry shelf. The cut-out on the container blocks off most of the word "raisins", leaving only "sins" visible.

Another day in aquarium DIY. Surely this is marvelously safe (but I don't have far to go).

The notebook blocking has escalated. I now must contend with this. Turn up your sound for the purring.
