Trying to make the bed but there’s a big lump a’ dog in it. #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky

Reminder: If your teen calls you over to show you something he’s excited about- do it. Even if you are busy (in my case, in the middle of making dinner). Doors don’t open on our schedule- they open on their’s. #parentingteens #parentsofbluesky

Ha! The mom was a yellow lab and the dad was ??? He’s a mutt. Or as my husband affectionately calls it, “Indonesian Love Hound”. Very “rare” breed. Rescued out of Home for Good Dog Rescue. 🐾

Reminder: If your teen calls you to his room to show you something he’s excited about- do it. Even if you are busy (in my case, in the middle of making dinner). Doors don’t open on our s here- they open on their’s. #teendevelopment #parentsofbluesky

Someone may have stolen my sweatshirt and may be curled up like a bug in a rug with it right now. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

Oh Bentley will steal shoes too- and put them in his bed. When workers come to the house for repairs, they often ask, “ummm…do you know where my shoes went?” Yes. Yes I do. 🐶 #dogsofbluesky

Morning hunker-downs with the pillow-stealer. 🐶 #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky

My coworker seems very focused on the program I am waist-deep in developing on Leadership Skills. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky #leadersofbluesky #leadership

This comfortable doggo does not remember where he put his daddy’s gym sneaker but does know where he put the pillow he stole off the guest room bed…again. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

The pillow-thief sleeps on his spoils. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

Bentley thinks Daylight Saving’s Time is for the birds. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

I am Billie Jean King has made the list of 2024’s Most Banned Children’s Books. So remember: Throughout history, if you're banning books, you'll eventually be revealed as the bad guy in the story. #bookstagram #bannedbooks #lgbtqia

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Loved presenting yesterday on Smashing ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) for one of my very favorite groups— they are so bright, engaged, and determined to keep learning and change the world in a positive way! #speakersofbluesky #leadership

Musk didn't like an article on Reuters that was critical of DOGE, so he tweeted a false story, which Trump his lap dog amplified.Turns out it was a contract during the first Trump regime they were complaining about. These idiots spreading disinformation to protect their fragile egos. wapo.st/4gJwGID

Snowing in NC! Bentley Bear seems to like it though. He had to come out with me to take this little video and made a short cameo at the end. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

Just Bentley Bear and his emotional security dirty sock pile he’s collected from the kids rooms. #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky

🐕 How Bentley is coping with today. Is Bentley all of us? 🩷 (Since his stolen pillow kept rolling away when he put his head on it, my daughter brought him a different pillow, like one does for their dog, to ensure maximum comfort. He also has a stuffed turtle, obvi.) #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky
