Temperature-wise, Wiley’s really gone through it the last few days (physically shaking while holding his Lambchops). Winter is when his chihuahua genes shine/shiver #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

I’m not saying that Wiley’s spoiled, but this year he got 2 separate advent calendars. Neither was from me. #christmasiscoming #tistheseason #dogsofbluesky

The perfect shirt *does* exist. And Wiley thinks it’s very important for people to know exactly where he stands (sits). #cutedog #dogsinsweaters #dogsofbluesky

Wiley is ready with a ‘snake in the grass’ pun. #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Wiley thinks what’s lacking in his budhole/mancave is actual presents (I’m working on it) #cutedog #tistheseason #dogsofbluesky

Wiley may try to throw hands (paws?) if I try to take his fake bird snack away #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Wiley was overcome yet underwhelmed by his special dinner today That baguette will somehow find its way under the covers later #thanksgiving #dogsofbluesky

Tongue out Tuesday extremes for Wiley: from a fun time walk to bath time. He definitely preferred the former #tongueouttuesday #dogsofbluesky

The houseguests (including his grandma) have gone home, and Wiley is bereft. He’s back to carrying an emotional support toy on our walks. #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Looks like Fall, but feels like Summer. Wiley and I agree that’s ridiculous #itsfallyall #dogsofbluesky

We have houseguests and are having a pre-holiday celebration, much to Wiley’s humiliation. But he’s being affectionately cuddled and massively dog-treated. #feelingfestive #dogsinsweaters #dogsofbluesky

Wiley thinks it’s a tough neighborhood so he should walk around armed. His definition of ‘armed’ is of the dog toy variety. #wiley #cutedog #dogtoys #dogsofbluesky

Happy Halloween from Wiley the Landshark! #happyhalloween #cutedog #landshark #smartshark #snl #dogsofbluesky

Took a day off, so Wiley and I went to the big park in town for some quality outdoorsy time The squirrels were plentiful but he remained oblivious #cutedog #adayoff #dogsofbluesky

Wiley got to go to work with me this week. He was as productive as expected, and a huge hit with my coworkers (treats were involved) #officedog #coworker #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Out of all of Wiley’s costumes over the years, this one (from 6 years ago…?) is probably his favorite and one of the more accurate. #wiley #snl #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Tongue out, toy out Wiley’s insistence of bringing a toy on our walks continues. #tongueouttuesday #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

Not yo’ toy or nacho toy. Either way, he’s not sharing #dogsofbluesky

One of us tolerates Octobers while the other one decorates #spookyseason #spoileddog #halloween #dogsofbluesky

To kick off spooky season, here’s Wiley in previous costumes/humiliations: Jedi, peacock, killer bee, and Mr. Rogers #dogsofbluesky #spookyseason #dogsincostumes

Looking cute, feeling murderous He insisted on bringing this toy outside then promptly ignored it so it was in my back pocket for most of our walk. A real conversation starter, lemme tell ya #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

He never walks alone. #spoileddog #dogsofbluesky

The older he gets, the less the car wash freaks him out. #wiley #dog #carwash #dogsofbluesky

Nothing to see here but Wiley taking a bony finger on our afternoon walk. Like a weirdo. #wiley #cutedog #dogsofbluesky

When the growl is implied Wiley saves most of his audible growling for other dogs and people, rarely me. #dogsofbluesky

I gave Wiley a hand. He promptly ate the thumb and buried/hid the ring finger in the laundry, then a chair cushion, then …who even knows. #wiley #spoileddog #dogsofbluesky

A neighbor gifted Wiley with some sweaters. He is currently pondering (plotting?) the appropriate response #wiley #dogsinsweaters #dogsofbluesky

Wiley, greeting Monday with either a scream or a yawn …and always an emotional support toy #wiley #monday #dogsofbluesky

Tongue out Tuesday, and cuteness out every day #wiley #cute #tongueouttuesday #dogsofbluesky

At Wiley’s nail appt: New girl reads his file, pauses, then says, “It may be a wait because it says here he needs 2 groomers.” Me: “Oh, I know …and sometimes 3.” #wiley #cute #dogsofbluesky

Happy Lefthander’s Day! Wiley is a fifth generation leftie (he only shakes with his left paw) #wiley #lefthandersday #dogsofbluesky

Wiley has an opinion on his new booster seat. Hopefully he’ll adapt before we roadtrip! #wiley #tongueouttuesday #dogsofbluesky

Wiley apparently is a leg man. He insisted on taking this toy on multiple, uh, walks this week. #wiley #dogsofbluesky

Because of Tom Lehrer (and Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel), as a child, I always looked for the juiciest, spiciest, raciest obituaries. Sad day when it’s his. #wiley #dogsofbluesky

Wiley was due another birth month piñata because he’s not spoiled enough #wiley #spoileddog #dogsofbluesky

No pun, but it bee 🐝 hot (and Wiley wonders wth the neighbors are doing) #wiley #dogsofbluesky

With company this weekend (and he only likes one of them), Wiley’s just relieved the car is the only thing getting washed #wiley #dogsofbluesky

Wiley sacrificing his dignity to wish his grandma a happy birthday 🥳🎉🎊 #wiley #dogsofbluesky

Wiley, wondering why Mondays exist #wiley #why #dogsofbluesky

Every week is Shark Week around here #wiley #sharkweek #spoileddog #dogsofbluesky

Wiley convinced me a three day work week is better than four, so we extended his birthday celebration by taking a trip to the big park today #wiley #birthdaydog #dogsofbluesky

Did I take a day off to celebrate Wiley’s birthday with croissant and Boba tea toys, a barkuterie, and a pup friendly cake?…Maybe… #wiley #birthdaydog #dogsofbluesky

Wiley’s first birthday piñata this month, before and after He slept hard post-piñata destruction #wiley #birthmonth #spoileddog #dogsofbluesky

Starting his birthday month in style! 🥳🎉🎊 He’ll be 9 Packages for him (and him alone) begin arriving this week #wiley #notspoiled #dogsofbluesky #birthdaymonth

I tell friends and family they’re invited anytime. But then they’re greeted by this guy and his favorite toy of the moment, Franken-finger. #wiley #dogsofbluesky #cutedog

Wiley looks pretty excited for a dog who will likely spend most of the weekend inside with the a/c. #wiley #dogsofbluesky #heatwave

Wiley celebrating the month on our walk. He insisted on carrying this toy around …until it was my turn as his staff #wiley #pridemonth #dogsofbluesky

He may look cute and sweet, but Wiley’s current toy of choice is a squeaky bloody knife plushie. #dogsofbluesky

This is Wiley *helping* me clean up his toy stash. Truly a wasted effort on my part! #dogsofbluesky #wiley

Wiley has a variety of emotional support toys for our afternoon walks. #wiley #dogsofbluesky
