YES AND it’s really hard to get them to stop wearing tuxedos, I have to keep being like “James, you cannot wear that to the grocery store.”

This is Dezzy and she wants to know if you like her hat.

TFW you’re just minding your own business and your little brother sits on your ear.

OK but the more often I see a headline like “Disney has lost $4 billion in three days” the more I’m like, money is clearly not only a fake concept but a stupid one.

Didn't know judges could issue this ruling

YES AND actually those other three corgis go around in a trenchcoat calling themselves Amy.

YES AND I was unfortunately deposed by Olaf, a Swedish Vallhund who convinced the corgi army that he was Fenrir reincarnate.

YES AND Minerva came out of retirement once to accept a challenge from the devil, who claimed that he could wear this year's Prada better than she could. The devil was defeated and forced to lay his golden tiara on the ground at Minerva's feet. She nibbled on it slightly before going back to her nap

YES AND they have a whole thing going on with learning to live without royal luxuries and instead develop meaningful relationships with the local corgis. Serious Moira Rose vibes up in here.

YES AND Constance was commissioned from and handcrafted by the Nick Offerman woodshop.

Wassup, it's your friend the eldest daughter, sitting here knowing I'll never get my imposter syndrome and my resentment that people don't listen to me to combine into a happy medium of self-esteem, but still wishing they'd at least take turns instead of both yelling in my brain at the same time.

I just want someone to love me like Mina Harker loves train schedules #draculadaily #dailydracula

If it's good enough for Hawkeye, it's good enough for me

Who knew tropical storms were so relatable?

How is it that the 55-pound retriever-shepherd mix can curl up into a little ball beside me on the bed and we both fit, but the 32-pound corgi gets next to me and somehow I’m falling off the edge two minutes later?

Oh my GOD, three out of three pharmacies have now failed me, as the third one would have been delighted to give me the shot without a prescription but I’m out of network and would have to give them $200.
