Trying to save her from a life of crime... 😁 #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #juniper #treats #stealing #cute

The pups spent 6 hours at daycare/groomer today, in the midst of 15 other dogs and it's safe to say they're a little tired after such a marathon play session. 😊 #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #rescue

Stranded... On a Freezing Island! (Where local hotel employees went out to buy necessities for them, fired up the kitchen in the middle of the night to feed them, and went way above and beyond.) Yeah. Freezing island. 🤣 I call 'lazy journalism'. www.bbc.com/news/article...

You know you have reached the limits of sensible discourse when the leader of a Western country blithely vows to complete the genocide of an entire civilisation. Yet, the wider world community sits on its hands. Why? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... #trump #genocide #iran #war #evil #fascism

This may be the cutest thing you see this week: www.goodnewsnetwork.org/aquarium-sha...

My Easter chocolate is these two adorable Jean-Talon dogs and I have to decide which one gets it first... #easter2026 #jean-talon #chocolate

This is Colby. He is movin, but more importantly, he is groovin. 13/10 (TT: ty2344583)

Yours Truly with the snowblower, excising the last batch of cold whiteness... and there's more on the way! (Yes, it's April. We often get snow in April.)

So today I treated myself to lunch: a nice root vegetable salad with cheese and a fine beef dressing. A.K.A. poutine. 😁

It's that time of year again (almost!) Arctic ice packs are moving south from Greenland, bringing these beauties to the shores of our province. Iceberg sightings around the island are most likely in May/June (hey, they're old--they move slowly). (Photo by Michael Garnier, from Facebook)

Junie's got this little 'nest' in the clothes closet, where she went yesterday, because I was leaving for work and she was, as usual, devastated. 😁 Then Riley decided she needed some brotherly love. ❤️

We are still on a social media break, but a friend of ours dog has been missing fur over 2 weeks. They are desperate. They are purchasing a trap & other supplies to get her back safely. Momma has been helping every day. If you have $5 to spare, would you consider helping? gofund.me/7382e8c38

How could they tell which was which?

A Thursday throwback: my Lola🌈 on the beach, Northern Peninsula, 2019. Look at that smile. #throwbackthursday #otrb #dogsofbluesky #lola #newfoundland #beach

I really feel for anyone who has to live under the Trump administration. It seems the United States keeps digging itself deeper and deeper into the same hole. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Bless her heart.... ❤️ www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

Mister Boy enjoying a chewie on a snowy Friday morning. 😊

Her way of telling me to stop looking at the glowing rectangle and pay attention to her. 😊

New dress. Getting in touch with me Inner Barbie. 😊 Kindly ignore the discarded jeans and the general state of the place. 😁

Miss Juniper watching HIJACK with Idris Elba. 😊

So which one is it??? (LOL, yes, I know 'raisins' is French for grapes.)

Okay, so this is bullshit. #nlwx #weather #winterstorm #sheilasbrush

Out and about with the Junilator on a very springlike morning. We, as hardened Newfoundlanders, are not fooled. And there's 15cm of snow to come on Sunday... 🤪

Now here is a gorgeous photo of a long-tailed tit from today's Guardian newspaper. I also have long-tailed tits, thanks to age and gravity. Not nearly as photogenic as this one, methinks.

So my office assistant clearly did *not* get the memo about bringing me a hot, strong cup of tea. What am I supposed to do with a rawhide chewy? I ask you. 😀

Museums are some of the best places on Earth to eat lunch, especially on a weekend. There are any number of small children wandering around, unsupervised. Yum. 😁

One little slip of the finger and it's no longer 'my childhood' but 'my childhoof' and instead of that rental house on LaSalle Boulevard in Sudbury I've grown up in a barn with the other donkeys. 😁

Clearly I spend too much time working with screens. I'm revising a mystery novel and just tried to scroll a piece of paper. 🤣 #writing #amwriting #writerlife #murdermystery #crimefiction #screens #modernlife #paper #editing

The dogs are at battle stations in the backyard, just in case our neighbour decides to get sassy with the snowblower again. 😂

I've tried things like these and found them way too fiddly for my dyscalculia brain. That said, I’ve been revising a crime novel with ChatGPT and using it as a structural editor — it’s been extraordinarily helpful for tightening pacing and analyzing scenes. #ai #writing monday.com/blog/ai-agen...

Now here is Seamus, who is gorgeous at any age or size, and his famous Yogurt Nose. 😇

So it's World Book Day and these are all reasonably good, or so I'm told. 😏 (There's five all together.) #worldbookday #readabook #murder #mystery #newfoundland #detective #policeprocedural

Won't look Wednesday, courtesy of Juniper, although this was taken yesterday, so technically it's won't look Tuesday.

There is a lot of horrible shit going on in the world. But here are wolves eating blueberries. Wolves love blueberries. 🥰

Ventured out before the shite weather started and scored a pair of Lucky jeans at Value Village! Hardly worn, and the price was under $10! ☘️😍

My poor little girl collided with someone or something at daycare and has a scratched eye. I put some lubricating ointment in, and she's convalescing on top of the couch. My baby... 😭

Vet visit for a checkup. Riley examining the premises while Juniper takes a break from trash talking a terrier through the door. 😁

It being cooler today, we put Riley in Lola's old jacket. (Don't worry; he's going to get one of his own.) However, the fact that it's pink has embarrassed him beyond repair. 😁

This brat.🤣

Also, thank you, Sobey's, for stocking Sainsbury Red Label long enough for me to develop a genuine pash for it, then dropping it. Arseholes. 😕 #tea #sobeys #sainsburyredlabel

Here's Juniper with a fresh and sassy #tongueouttuesday and also #terriertuesday! It's a Tuesday Two For One! ☺️

Remember during Covid when everybody was panic-buying massive bales of toilet paper, like they were planning to have explosive diarrhea with Smurfs in it? Good times.

Have just planted self in the middle of the driveway, forearms on shovel handle, and stared down the snowplough. He blinked.

The face of a woman who has gazed into the gaping maw of a Newfoundland winter and survived.

More proof that the current U.S. administration has lost its goddamn mind. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Gorgeous walkies at snowy Power's Pond Park in Mount Pearl. We are having a proper winter this year and we love it! ❤️❄️

Air fryers are just Easy Bake Ovens for adults. Fight me.

The lettuce that's in charge of all the other lettuces...
