So does anyone else realize that they shut down in the winter and do the bare minimum and then summer comes and they are like “yes I love my job!” And you are doing all the things you didn’t do but should have done all year?

Mamma still working! And I side-eyed my walker cause my walk was only 30 minutes! #ContessaLucia

Mamma so busy I have to remind her to post my cute pics! Last night was quiet; I got a 45 minute walk this morning cause Mamma had her mid-year review and now it’s #TonguesOutTuesday #ContessaLucia

Morning folks, I wasn't well in that pic but Nate's expression is priceless! Have a grand taco today tuesday lol ps. I am still hoping for some help. #ThePoet & #TheTeen

QUESTION: Could Trump go one day without making things worse? HEADLINE: Trump to Impose 50% Tariff on Canadian Goods BOTTOM LINE: This is just bad, especially for Minnesota when Canada is our #1 trading partner & Trump’s tariff taxes have already hit us hard.

I miss the World Cup. For almost 2 months, I could justify taking a 2 hour break once or twice or even 3 times a day to watch soccer. Now I have no excuses. ☹️

It was nice out today and the air was a bit cleaner so Mamma got me a longer walkies! (Really she felt guilty cause she had so much work and I wanted to play)! #ContessaLucia

I hate Mondays! Mamma has meeting after meeting after meeting! And she forgets to post my pictures! So I won’t look at the camera! #ContessaLucia

like those all male archaeologists who couldnt figure out the 28 day calendar's origins or why knives were kept in the rafters of ancient homes.

It is not a PR campaign to point out that human beings are complicated and painted in shades of gray. Part of understanding history is pointing to it accurately- when we allow ourselves become blinded to our preconceptions, we end up with really, really fucking stupid ideas about the world

Norway opens new memorial for victims of 2011 Breivik massacre

I had fun walkies tonight! It was nice out! And the fireworks didn’t start until I got home. Congratulations Spain 🇪🇸! #ContessaLucia

This was at the Times Square station, where I also witnessed some Mexico fans befriend some Spain fans and then start pointing and laughing at a cluster of Argentina fans

Fans celebrate at the final whistle in Madrid and Barcelona as Spain defeat holders Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup and shatter Lionel Messi's dreams of a triumphant farewell to football's greatest stage

Another great thing he did: When the Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales non-consensually kissed Spanish national team midfielder, Jennifer Hermoso, during 2023 World Cup medal ceremony, he refused to play for Spain until Rubiales quit.

They are lying to us without remorse about the real numbers of service members killed and wounded. I’m furious. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Congratulations Spain! 🇪🇸

Still in the 70s for my afternoon walkies which was nice but there’s dirty air so I did t get an extension! 😤 #ContessaLucia

Me asking squishy bedhead Charlie if he wants to go for a walk at 7:27 AM before it gets hot.

Ugh we are back up to unhealthy AQI so I’m back to short walks. ☹️ At least there’s soccer ⚽️later to cheer me up! #ContessaLucia

Damn it! I wanted to get Lucia a long walk tonight because I’ve been catching up on my electronic filing all day (with a 2 hour break for France 🇫🇷 v. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿) but the AQI up to unhealthy for sensitive groups and I’m guessing a 10 lb maltipoo probably has tiny lungs. Plus I can hear fireworks.

Mbappe!!!!

Got another 20$ Thank you friends and strangers alike

We had big thunder boomers! But then it stopped and the sky cleared just in time for my afternoon walkies! #ContessaLucia

AQI is finally in the “good” category so I got a longer walk this morning! Mamma says it will be too hot for long walkies this afternoon. #ContessaLucia

Of course.

Holy hell! Millions of Americans are basically smoking cigarettes against their will. AQI levels reached today: • Milwaukee: 389 • Columbus: 386 • Chicago: 318 • Detroit: 269 • Pittsburgh: 266 • Cleveland: 259 • Philadelphia: 201 Numbers above 300 are extremely rare.

Zachary came tonight! And the AQI was down to moderate so I got a 45 minute walk! We walked 1.5 miles and played and he makes me so happy! #ContessaLucia

Okay I know you aren’t supposed to eat sugar this late in the day but really could you resist warm Michigan blueberry pie and Talenti Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream?

Happy Friday! The air is still dirty and stinky, but a little better than yesterday. So I’m getting shorter walks with indoor play time! #ContessaLucia

This too.

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Possibility of rain Friday & Saturday may offer some relief. Can't believe I'm wishing for rain.

The air was really dirty out tonight so my sweet Zachary just walked me for a few minutes and asked me to please pee and poop really fast so of course I did for him. ☺️ Then he brought me back inside and we played fetch for the rest of my walkies! #ContessaLucia

Could someone please put out the Canadian wildfires? This is off the charts!
