It’s been a month since my little love Parker crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss him every day.
Especially the way he would lay everywhere around his bed, but never on it!

How’s everyone feeling this morning? This will be my mantra for the day. At least for those in my direct vicinity. Everybody else? No guarantees.

Immaculate snuggles to soothe the soul this evening.

I’ve put off posting it because I didn’t want to sob uncontrollably.
My baby, love of my life and heart dog, Parker, crossed the rainbow bridge on Jan 3.
He was 16 1/2 years old and had been with me his entire life. The sadness is immense, I’m devastated.
I’ll miss you my love.

Be for real. This is funny as hell, and you know it!

(I will never make light of the issues this stemmed from. Cause discomfort in others to make change? That I will do.)

I was on the phone with my mom and she had my nibling in the car. This one was barking and I couldn’t hear her.
So, as on does, I yelled “Paxton, SHUT UP!!”
The nibling repeated this immediately.
I later learned they told everything they passed to shut up for the next 3 hours.

These 2 boys are the bestest boys and part of the reason I can call myself emotionally stable these days. The snuggles are immaculate.

I got the last gift I needed today! My list is officially checked off. So relieved! The gift ideas were a struggle this year, but it's finally starting to look like the holiday season over here!

I really don't think this one needs an explanation. Those owned by cats will understand.

I want to wear this shirt all the time these days. It just feels so fitting for all the situations! Plus, rainbow aviators on a honey badger? Iconic.

Reindeer are my favorite thing about this time of year. Most of my own home decorations are reindeer. So, it makes sense that this was one of my first holiday designs!

They say that money can't buy happiness. That's a lie, it can buy books and cozy hoodies which is the same thing.

I don't care what anyone says, my favorite of all my Holiday designs will always be the rock & roll snowman!
PS for the youngins - that is a 90s boombox. It's classic.

Like all sane people ever, fall is my favorite season! It's finally getting cold enough here for cozy things and I couldn't be happier about that. It's doing wonders for my mental health.

I don't know about y'all, but I am doing my best to remember to take care of myself and the things that bring me joy. My houseplants are one of those things. It genuinely makes me happy to grow and care for them. Find what brings you joy!

Morning y'all! It's Monday and the holiday season is upon us. There is so much I'd like to get done this week, but my brain is all "no, I don't want to focus on any of that." It's off on a wander and I'm not sure when it'll be back.

It's gonna be a wild Friday night y'all! I got myself a hot date with a fictional character and stellar Malbec!

Honestly, I'm kind of ready to be known as the one that will make you second guess your existence.

I would happily spend my life in a place like this, surrounded by plants and all the stories I could possibly imagine.

Morning y'all! In my struggle to not feel like I'm just screaming into the void this week, my artist soul chose violence. Gotta say, I don't blame her.

Morning #bluesky! I’m Val, and I’m an artist. In honor of all of us who’d choose the bear, I drew this. I think it’s funny as hell so, I put it on a shirt lol!
