"Where it was dark, now there's light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy"

Happy First Puppiversary to my beloved Arlo! Life is so much better with you in it! #ourArlo #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #celinedion
Photo of a mini schnauzer puppy with a white muzzle and brown head; one ear is upright and the other flops over. His nose is brown and his eyes are a pale greenish color. Photo of that same puppy as an adult mini-schnauzer leaning his head on a plaid cushion; he is larger and the brown has lightened considerably. His nose is still brown and his eyes still pale greenish.

Arlo got a nice little trim around his eyes and ears this weekend. But he still doesn't understand why his brekkie and dinner have been an hour late the past couple days. #daylightsavings #ourArlo #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

Photo of a fluffy brown and white dog wearing a very poorly constructed gat in imitation of the Saja Boys. He does not look entirely pleased with the situation.

If you see this post a vampire who isn’t Dracula
Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless, from What We Do in the Shadows. He is dressed as a Eastern European noble from the Middle ages, with furs, thick fabric and large rings. He has long dark hair and facial hair in the style of that era. He is smiling and giving a double thumbs up. One can see his vampiric fangs. The ghost of his mortal self glows blue in the background.

Considering a social media break for a bit. Arlo agrees as long as it means more walks...he doesn't really understand "likes" anyway. #ourArlo #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

"Are you renting a box at the East as well?" asked Ace.

"I'm sharing a rental with Captain Kogane for the moment, and on the list to buy the next open box."

"Buy it?" Mark asked.

Remember to check your kids' candy this Halloween. Just found a schnauzer in this Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. No words. #schnauzergang #ourArlo #dogsofbluesky #nohedidnoteatit

When Mother came out of her swoon they made their way to their box at the opera. They were doing Beethoven's Fidelio, which Josephine had never heard of but found interesting--what she could understand of it, that is. -The Void: Upton #yeahIuseemdasheswannafightaboutit #100percenthuman #wgw #ficwip
Black and white wood engraving after Eugen Klimsch, depicting Lenore saving Florestan from Pizzaro. A woman in masculine Renaissance clothing clings to a crouching man with one hand while taking aim with a flintlock pistol at another man with a raised blade. The setting is a hay strewn dungeon; guards with spears look on from the doorway.

"We're good," said Mark, clapping his shoulder as they walked back inside. "As usual. Oh, Jo thinks the host of the masquerade might be that vampire who bugged us on the train so we're supposed to be super careful." --The Void: Upton #ficwip #wordgamewednesday

badly photoshopped picture of the old/restored Cracker Barrel logo with the old man with a bandage on his head and the chair and barrel patched with duct tape, because I amuse myself and that's what's important.
