Mama's got a new toy! Bubbles, bubbles, BUBBLES!!! Living la vida loca. 😁🤪

Find the Border Terrier. Pocket snuggled up tight to me this lazy morning, camouflaged on his favorite fuzzy blanket. Sweet sweet boy. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket looking handsome after a tidying up session this week. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Well, I couldn't figure out anything creative for #StarPaws theme thus week but I did figure out how to make a snazzy portrait of Pocket! Happy #TerrierTuesday to one and all. #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket is great at assisting with computer work ... especially taking breaks to meditate (ahem, snooze). It is really important! #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

I tried a new variety of iris - really different! #gardening

Pocket jumps up on this log in the yard all the time. It is a command post in the war on squirrels. But today when I asked him to jump on it I got the "Are you crazy?!?" look. Sheesh! #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOnLogs #DogsOfBlueSky

Late posting. My dear friend was in hospital. Home now, but needs help in the home. Pocket and I have been doing rotations, staying 1 or 2 nights at a time. Pocket takes his caretaking seriously, following her everywhere very slowly and staying close to her. Good boy! #TerrierTuesday #dogsofbluesky

My dear friend sends holiday cards to both Pocket and myself. I was setting up a thank you photo to send her, dog + card. But he suddenly ran off and brought back the only green toy in his collection. Brilliant boy! #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE ##DogsOfBlueSky

My sweet Pocket, aka "King of the Pillows" giving me one of his big-I-love-you yawns. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket respectfully sitting and watching the cows go by, even though they were lowing and the calves were darting around. OBVIOUSLY they were wanting him to run along the fence and bark! #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket sez "Wot!!! I know I am not supposed to be on your pillows, let alone the silk pillowcases. But you were taking too long in the shower and I needed comfort." #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

#Love is having Pocket gently lay on my head in the morning and wish me "Good day mate!" with a gentle swipe of his tongue across my forehead. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

I heard Melania: the Devourer of Men is a big hit! Go check it out & tell your friends

This is what 6am looks like when you usually get up at 7:30 or 8am. Pocket sez "I know it isn't time to get up. Just pee and come back to bed. And turn off the light please-thank-you!" #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #dogsofbluesky

Pocket sitting in his window Captain's Seat. Normally a high alert security monitoring place. But today quiet place to enjoy the sun, with a favorite toy placed on the windowsill nearby. #TerrierTuesday #dogsofbluesky #BTPOSSE

Pocket enjoying a cuddle. And a rare TOT event with his tongue out (he gets too warm in a lap sometimes but he was too happy to move). Sweet boy. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky #TOT

Pocket on Boxing Day. Enjoying cuddles while keeping an eye on the dining table. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket got a glow-in-the dark rubber ball for an early present. He loves the ball. I am not sure he really cares about the glowing, but I think it adds to the holiday atmosphere. AND, I can find it under furniture more easily! #TerrierTuesday #FestiveSpirit #BTPOSSE

Organized all the board games yesterday, even entered them all into a spreadsheet with number of players, recommended age of players, and more. Not sure how to note this, from 1990's "Tribond" game. 🤭😉 #humor #funny

Hmph. "85% of the people granted pardons or clemency this year by President Donald Trump are white, and Jan. 6 defendants made up 90% of those who benefited, according to a new report compiled by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... #50501

Pocket went incognito as an elf-dog to help pick out a Christmas tree. He was polite, he only tried to pee on a tree twice. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

Pocket in "surfaced submarine" viewing mode watching "Grantchester" mystery series. There is a black Labrador in it periodically ... that needs monitoring. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE ##DogsOfBlueSky

This is Pocket's "gazing into your eyes and feeling relaxed and happy" face, with ears held down and pulled in a bit. #earography #dogsofbluesky #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE

I saw "Wicked; for good" yesterday. Toto sure looks like a Border Terrier, no? I couldn't find a better still photo. Toto isn't on screen in a long enough shot to be sure. Just some quick cuts. #BTPOSSE ##dogsofbluesky

This article is long. But please read. AP journalists write about extended surveillance on roads with license reading software & algorithms to flag irregular behavior. Scary! Border Patrol getting info from local police and more chilling behavior. #ICE #immigration #50501 apnews.com/article/immi...

Pocket's cat friend has a big box filled with paper that he gets to play in. Today Pocket has his own Cat Paper Box! He tosses toys in it and digs around for them with great joy. I imagine him shouting "I can has box for cat games too!! Yippee!!!" #celebrate #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE ##DogsOfBlueSky

Weekend with dear friends of many years. We all brought bits and bobs. We wound up with enough to make Italian soup with homemade sourdough on the side, AND do this lovely board. 🍲 🍜 #food

Just wow. I am speechless at what the Orange Menace does. "The Friday night fête at Mar-a-Lago was themed 'A little party never killed nobody,' according to the White House, referencing the song from the 2013 film adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel." #50501 abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Pocket trying on a costume hat ... very briefly. Just another odd behavior moment from his hooman! He is such a sweet doggo. #BTPOSSE #TerrierTuesday #Halloween #DogsOfBlueSky

I think I have to rearrange the plants and items behind the daybed to make room for Security. Patrol duties now include monitoring activity outside via the window, not just listening for intruders at the front door. #BTPOSSE #DogsOfBlueSky

This talk of the demolition of the East Wing has this former librarian wondering about the PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations Center) which was built underneath it after WW2, but updated. Is it getting bigger, with limited congressional input/approvals? #50501 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preside...

This is a sober read. "The United States is “on a trajectory” toward authoritarian rule" per assessment by former US intelligence and national security officials, who warn that democratic backsliding is accelerating under the Trump administration. #50501 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This "2028 Ballroom" video is like watching a real-time train wreck. AI-generated fantasy video that evokes 1789 French Revolution vibes. But is seems like a good summary of feelings for those of us who haven't donated $$$,$$$ towards the project. #50501 youtu.be/nD_25aSMSFc?...

We need a worldwide Spotify boycott NOW! Add some comments and hit repost so this gets to more people. #BoycottSpotify #FuckICE #CancelSpotify

Well, I only used the free version until today .... now will not use it at all. Many podcasts are also streaming on other platforms, worth digging to find you content elsewhere.

"What!?! I am absolutely NOT trying to pop the basketball!" #TerrierTuesday #BTPosse #Mischief

Thank you to the BBC for doing a great piece on the protests yesterday. "But critics warn some of the moves by his administration are unconstitutional and a threat to American democracy." #NoKingsDay #50501 #50501movement www.bbc.com/news/article...

So no crimes were committed by a bunch of left wing radical lunatics? #NoKingsDay

“ZERO ARRESTS” #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Peaceful protests in Roseville and Lincoln California today. Looking like 3000-4000 showed up in Roseville, a few hundred in Lincoln. Wonderful to be there and see the support out on foot and in cars honking along. #NoKingsDay #50501protests

No Kings protests live updates on NBC: Rallies underway in NYC, D.C., Chicago and other U.S. cities www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... #50501 #50501movement #nokings

Pocket sitting on my lap in front of the fire today while I read a book. He thinks I should use my hands for petting and supporting his bum as needed rather than to hold the book. #BTPosse #TerrierTuesday #CuddleTime ##dogsofbluesky

Watch the full interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fykx...

The #TerrierTuesday Theme for 14th October is 'Cuddle Time' Whether your #Terriers like to snuggle up with you or another favourite human, or a fellow pet they live with - show us your pictures & videos this week 🤗 Please repost to spread the word 🫶🐕 #DogsOfBlueSky #BTposse #Photography #Pets

During a shutdown, people like TSA workers and troops don’t get paid. But do you know who does? The president still gets paid. Members of Congress still get paid. It’s wrong. That’s why, as soon as the Republicans shut down the government, I put my salary on hold.

A win! A federal judge has granted Chicago and the State of Illinois a restraining order against the Trump administration, blocking the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois.

I planted via "seed roulette" in part of my garden this year; all the old opened seed packets tossed into two planters. Fun! 🌱 #gardenSky

NEW: Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates have come and gone. They’re still stuck here.
