Good God! Does Zelda know???

Helping me with my writing this morning, after an early walk in the Waterford Valley (including the old cemetery, of course!) #TerrierTuesday #borderterrier #juniper #cute #helping

Evening coziness with pups. 🥰 #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie #borderterrier #cute

Currently teaching my first-year engineering students about professional responsibility via the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster. Watching the series on Prime and I have to say, it's very well done. Fictionalized, yes, but reasonably accurate and horrifying. #lacmeganticdisaster #TVseries #quebec

The fall colours are really starting to pop! Walkies with Himself and the pups around Octagon Pond earlier today. #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #autumn #newfoundland #walkies

Because stretch knows no time or season. ☺️ #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie #rescue #riley #autumn

Just dropped a small, rather heavy table on my arthritic foot. My language? Gentle Reader, it was hardly befitting a lady. Let's just say the neighbours got an ear full. 😂

Look at this precious. LOOK AT HIMBS!!! Gorgeous man. 😍

And it's that time of year again... Dust 'em off, ladies. It's riding season. 😊🎃 #witches #ridingseason #theburningtimes #remember

Poor Junie! She had a sticky bug snarled in the fur next to her mouth, and I had to cut it out. Now she's got a big chunk out of her lady beard. 😭 #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #beard #stickybud

I'm at the age when eating the recommended amount of daily fibre is exciting, anxiety-inducing. Something you'd do on a Friday night, and spend hours listening to your own bowel sounds, those mysterious creaks and groans. Like abdominal whale song. Whale song. *nodnod*

You have to wonder how toast came to be invented. We were all hanging around eating bread and some wise-arse goes, "You know this would taste a lot better burnt." #toast #food #invention #bread

Lionel Ritchie says he hasn't had plastic surgery, yet his face looks like an inside-out hockey helmet.

Lovely autumn walkies downtown and we met a nice older couple from Hartlepool, UK, who were in St. John's just for today on a cruise ship. (You can see the ship in the right of this screen capture from the CBC webcam.) #walkies #downtownstjohns #stjohnsnl #visitors #cruiseship #hartlepool

The sort of thing that happens around here when Hollywood comes to town. (Glad to hear it wasn't serious!) 😊 vocm.com/2025/09/30/2...

My Mr. Riley man the day he came home to us from Nova Scotia, in his little carry cot with his Mr. Dino toy. Oh, my heart. (And he's had my heart ever since!) ❤️

Another absolutely stellar day for walkies with the pups, this time along the beautiful Arboretum Walk in Mount Pearl. What a privilege, to be able to walk in such beautiful surroundings, in the middle of a city! #walkies #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #autumn

Juniper, showing off her everything. ☺️ #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #cute #belleh

Nine and a half hours, a marathon writing and collaboration session with my writing partner by distance and look at the state of me! No makeup, hair a total shitshow. I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME! 😁 #writing #writerlife #author #writingpartner #collaboration #amwriting #murdermystery #policeprocedural

Rest in peace, little soul. 😢 vocm.com/2025/09/26/l...

I would absolutely vote for Philly, in a heartbeat. 😊 www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

Hauling me nearly arse-over-teakettle towards the stream. Did they care I was hurtling headlong into almost certain destruction? Gentle Reader, they did not. #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #rescue #walkies #mountpearlNL #autumn #beauty #nature

Absolutely luminous walk this afternoon along the trail in Mount Pearl with the pups. What a day, what a day! From this morning's glorious sunrise to this afternoon's mellow autumnal beauty. #blessed #walking #dogs #mountpearlnl #newfoundland

Trotting along Southside Road like two tiny ponies. What a gorgeous morning for a walk! #walking #dogs #dogmam #chiweenie #borderterrier #southsideroad #stjohnsnl

We have been in the cemetery again. Behold this drunken-looking angel, semi-handless and holding what looks like a dirty nappy. 😁 #cemetery #graveyard #statues #angels #broken

Really interesting article about a profession we don't hear much talk of: the extreme cleaners, those daring folk who deal with what most of us can't stomach. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

Absolutely GORGEOUS early autumn day in Bowring Park. Perfect for walkies!!! #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #juniper #chiweenie #rescue #riley #stjohnsnl #bowringpark #autumnalequinox #fall

New shirt. ☺️ Câlice! It's devastatingly gorgeous! 😁

Look at this gorgeous boy. LOOK AT HIMBS!!! 😍

Oh, my heart. ❤️ #dogs #lastwillandtestament #dogsarefamily #dogsarelove

Mock up of potential cover. I like this one very much. 🥰 #books #writing #murdermystery #policeprocedural #sûretéduquébec #royalnewfoundlandconstabulary #stjohnsnl #montréal

Preliminary mockup of my lead detective in the new police procedurals. LOVE this! 🥰 #writing #artwork #illustration #characters #fiction #writer #author #murdermystery #stjohnsnl #policeprocedural #books #sûretéduquébec #royalnewfoundlandconstabulary #police

Some early autumn beauty. 🥰

Sometimes I feel I love her (and him!) so much my heart will rip wide open with it. 🥲 #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #juniper #doglove #dogsarefamily #dogmom

I love when Amazon recommends books to me in Kindle Unlimited. 😂

Some days my mood is The Bellamy Brothers, "Let Your Love Flow." Some days my mood is Nickelback, "Burn it to the Ground." 😁

And what does the world community do? Not a fucking thing. #genocide #gaza #warcrimes #palestineholocaust #unitednations #sanctionisrael www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

When you spill milk, it's time to call in the Canine Cleanup Crew™! #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie #rescue #cleanup #spilledmilk #riley

After a week and a half in hospital, Dad is coming home today. Shout-out to social worker Crystal (aren't social workers amazing?) and our universal healthcare, that will provide him with homecare and meet his other needs. #parkinsons #elders #geriatriccare #Newfoundland #healthcare #socialwork

Beautiful view of a misty, foggy morning here on the Isle of the Blessed. Happy Monday! #webcam #stjohnsNL #newfoundland #NTV

A memorial plaque for my Elton girl, on the laburnum tree we planted in her memory, 20 years ago. My darling girl, you will never be forgotten. ❤️ #petloss #otrb #grief #memorial #neverforgotten

She wants to know why her stuffies are in the clothes dryer and how much longer they'll be... 😊

God love them. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Where do the fast ones play?

Timeline cleanse: Riley reluctantly submits to an ear cleaning from his sister. 😊 #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #rescue #cute

"Gen Z stare: Why young workers are giving blank looks and going viral." Because they're rude little gobshites who really need someone to put the manners on them? Y/N? 🙄

This ridiculous Jesus Barbie scares the shit out of me: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So today on my way home from work I saw a young fella in women's clothes and a rainbow wig kicking the ever-loving shite out of another fella on the ground. The pink kneesocks seemed to add something to the traction he had going on. 🤔

Eleven years old today and still as cute and wonderful as ever. #EverybodyLovesMousecow
