The judgement I get for getting up in the morning.

**human... Why now? It's nap time.**

**You know what I want. Throw the ball and the wires stay where they are**

**Happy Friday!**

**Human, can we return this "2026"? I don't like it**

Throw back to when we had grass instead of a mid pit

FYI - the dentist believes this horn may have been what cracked 3 of Ripley's teeth. 3 teeth. It's not worth the dental bill. No more bones or horns for Ripley.

This little schmooze has convinced her new dentist friends that she's not like other corgis. Little do they know she wants to collect them

Reminder, good things still exist and are worth fighting for.

Existential Crisis Pup

**Human? There are more humans out here. Can I keep them?** You cannot collect all humans. There are too many of us. **Spoil sport**

Stinky. **Delicious**

**I don't wanna** Neither do I, but we have to get up.

**human... You don't have to take a picture of me every day** No. But I enjoy it. **/Sigh/**

**Comfy**

This dental work means you get the cheaper treats for a while. **I'm worth it** Yes, you are.

Who started 2026 with a vet appointment and a broken tooth??

When the treat triggers a bit of silly

**human... Where did the fake tree go??** In the basement. I'll put it up again in November or December.

Boop the snoot

**happy new year!**

**human. It is bed time.** I'm seeing our this year. **Suffer then** ... Will do...

**human, why am I contained in this room?** You kept barking at the neighbors scraping off their cars. **And you're allowing this???** ... Yes. People are allowed, even encouraged, to scrape off ice from their cars.

**human. What do you mean you have to work??**

**human, the bowl is clean. Can I have more now?**

We are back to our normal routine.

Ripley's way of begging is to quietly look at the human with food, and occasionally remind them of her presence with a touch to the leg. She stood like this for about a half hour as my mom was chatting and carving a ham.

**is this Christmas thingy done??** (It was a long day for her)

Holidays at the grandparents start early

Merry Christmas!

May your holiday be as tranquil as possible.

**yes, I am a gift** Glad to know you still have that corgi sass, Ripley 😁

Everyone needs help sometimes. (Also sorry for the noise. The printer was going the whole time)

**where did all the snow go??**

Existential Crisis Pup

**Human, I see your "D and D" and raise you a PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!**

**human. This work is eating into play time.**

Throwback to Ripley's first pup cup.

**scratches**

Another TV toy, another attack on squeaker

**snow ball!**

Playing in the snow wear you out? **Zzzz...**

**Human!! This is amazing!!**

**human play day!!**

**remember to bundle your humans before playing in the snow. If you're cold, they're freezing**

**human, stay still. Be a good pillow**

The grumpy sploot

**human. The other humans left** They went home. **Abandoned.** You'll see them in a week. **Abandoned!**

Ripley has always liked biscuits.

**human. There are other humans here** Yes, my parents spent the night. **Can we keep them??**
