I'm still trying to figure out why everyone grumbles about winter so much... play time in the white fluff is such a blast! Snow on my nose, joy in my soul! #dogsofbluesky

I really love this "Samsung" show! Dad says it kinda reminds him of some old game called Pong. I dunno about that... but I find it riveting! Could be better if it were a little faster paced, but it's still excellent as is. Highly recommend. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Cindy: Ahh... the first Snow Pee of the season! Glorious! Sammy: I'm not so sure how "glorious" this is. I think it might mean that we're not going to get as many walks as before. #dogsofbluesky

To be honest, we don't understand all the chatter about candy. Isn't this holiday really all about spending three straight hours barking as loud as we possibly can each time the doorbell rings?? Still can't figure out what mom and dad keep apologizing about, either. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Watched a fair amount of football hanging on the couch with dad this past weekend. Saw a lot of dropped passes. As a seasoned "over-the-shoulder-catch" specialist, I'd like to offer my services. For a nominal fee, of course... treats. Lots of them. And I'm not picky. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Seriously, though... isn't it a bit too early for it to be this cold and windy? It's not even November yet! Can we please turn up the thermostat just a little bit more?? Please?! #dogsofbluesky

I require elevation for optimal acoustics. Also, visibility is key when you're delivering vocals this powerful. Please enjoy this impromptu ballad from my perch high above floor level. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

These shirts aren’t just fashion, they’re armor. When you’re an Illini living in Indiana, every Purdue game is a battle for workplace survival. So, let’s go, Illini! Help dad avoid the dreaded ‘How ’bout them Boilers?!’ Monday morning ambush! #dogsofbluesky #Illini @illinifball.bsky.social

I respectfully request yet another clarification on why I’m denied unrestricted outdoor access. I can sense you're passionate about your reasoning, but my comprehension remains... elusive. If CINDY is the bad influence, why would that reflect poorly on ME?? I promise I'm trustworthy! #dogsofbluesky

I can't speak for everyone, but for me... there's no safer, more comforting place in life than right here on the couch snuggling with mom. It's where I can truly let go and rest. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

I’ve studied the patterns: Jacket. Keys. Exit. This is not a cry for attention; it’s a well-researched campaign for inclusion. So, I thought if I waited here patiently in the locker, maybe I could go with you, and we could go on a grand Car Ride Adventure together?! #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Too big to be carried? Lies! I refuse to walk, for I am a princess! Carry me, father... the people must see me! #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Game day? Yes! We bleed Orange & Blue! Super excited for the game versus the Duke Blue Devils. But to be fair, we're more focused on the snack prep. What you got up there?? You WILL be sharing, right? RIGHT?! Go Illini! #dogsofbluesky #illini @illinifball.bsky.social @illiniathletics.bsky.social

One of us prefers the sunshine, the other prefers the shade. #dogsofbluesky

So… what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want? (what'cha want?) #beastieboys #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Delayed gratification? Nope... more like delayed domination. Cindy is gonna be crushed when she sees I still have my treat. I say, "She who waits, wins". And then rubs it in, of course. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Heyyy, Easton... buddy ol' pal... say, there... uhhh... you're good with sharing your toys, right? Maybe just nudge that ball over here a bit closer, would you, Big E?? #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Life can be challenging, and when I feel very contemplative, sometimes I just need to find a quiet area and be alone with my thoughts. Also... I think there might be a spider over there. I wonder if I should try to eat it? #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Huh? Share WHAT with Sammy? But... wait... you're saying you DIDN'T get this just for me?? Huh. That doesn't sound right. Let's talk about it later after my nap. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

I did it! I figured out how to take a selfie... zoomed for maximum boopability! Daddy is gonna find this one on his phone eventually and be confused trying to remember why and when he took it. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Drapes... the official sponsor of canine cooldowns. My post-walk protocol always includes hydration, then flopping in my curtain cocoon. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Yes, father, I realize I already have my own bone, but I want THAT one! What? No, she has the bone I had first before we traded, and... What? Not "traded"? Fine, I stole hers from her, so what? Now I want mine back and she refuses to trade again! Fix this injustice! #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Sammy: I trusted you. I loved you. This is betrayal. The absolute worst day of the summer so far. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

We had some free time on our paws and the parental units left the laptop unattended, so we decided to channel our inner pop stars with a vintage album cover remake. Wham! #dogsofbluesky #wham @weratedogs.com

Happy 6th Birthday to us! Still cute, still chaotic, now with bigger loot! We asked for "big surprises"... and got a squeaky friend the size of a small couch! Here's to livin' the good life! #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com @pugdoctor.bsky.social

Yes, mother, but I don't want to start anything new yet. Well, obviously, I'm anxiously waiting for Edwin Von‬ to finish reading Project Hail Mary! Clearly, my emotional well-being is contingent on him loving it as much as I did! @digotheduke.bsky.social‬ @weratedogs.com @dogsofbluesky.bsky.social

Sammy: proud new member of the neck-pillow club. Cindy: extremely concerned that this is forced initiation into a cult of which she wants no part. #dogsofbluesky @weratedogs.com

Personal space? What about it? No, I'm fine right here, thanks. Just think of it as advanced emotional support proximity. #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs

Say what? What do you mean? What's a "flying nun"? Sally who?? I don't get it. #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs

Why is the sky yelling at us?? The booms are SO LOUD, I can't even think straight!! It hurts my head. I'm just going to stay under here until the stars stop exploding. You crazy people can keep your sparkly sky war, I don't like it!

♪♪ ‘cause she’s a lady! ♪♪ "What? Doesn't everybody sit like this??" #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs

The heat and humidity outside are unacceptably oppressive today, so we've decided to surrender to sweet, air-conditioned oblivion for the time being! #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs

Sammy has a considerably different method of rehydrating (notice how she makes sure her ball also gets refreshed) after an exuberant session of fetch… #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs

Hey, Pixar! We're waiting for your call! [images courtesy of #Barkefellers] #dogsofbluesky

The melancholy that sets in when you begin to realize that the weekend is nearly over and tomorrow is a workday for your parents. #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs
