Sometimes Nelson gets up early at like 5 or 6 and sits by my bed and quietly sighs and whines. So I have to get up to see what he needs (knowing damn well exactly what he really wants) and he immediately takes my spot in bed. 😆

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. I'd have posted it sooner, but I had to go play with my dog.

Before & After I got this red Sherpa Trucker jacket a couple years ago because I like unusual colored Levi's denim. But I soon realized it was a little too North Pole for me to wear outside of December. So I dyed the shit out of it and now it's custom AF. 🤩

Looks like low-key witchcraft in my basement this afternoon:

Anyway it's time for a mid-morning nap.

I love music to the extent that I feel compelled to share it with others. So I'm sharing some music I like. Thanks for indulging me.

TIL: Fried Rice

Hello Nelson , from Winnie.

My rescues

This is Huckleberry…a great rescue and companion

Nelson and our rescue Toby have the same harness. Two dapper dudes!

I wubs my rescued babies too 💜

Amber rescued me! She is the sweetest girl. I too push people toward a rescue rather than paying for purebreds.

That’s always my first reply when people compliment my pitador rescue Smiles. He’s the best boi!

I have a rescue. I just got approved and I'm adopting another one this week!

My boy, rescued 10 years ago, approves!

Same. I always tell people that my bulldog, Rosie, is a rescue so that people know you can also adopt “purebred” dogs. I also tell them about the horrible backyard breeder conditions she was rescued from.

💯‼️ This chunky little Rottweiler is our 7th dog over the course of 45 years, all rescues

Nelson is VERY handsome! This is Oscar & he’s my Co-VID rescue. The last 3+ years with him have been challenging & I wouldn’t trade him for anything. ❤️ #rescuesrule #doggomom

Rescues are the best! 2/3 of my pack are rescues- the only purebred dog we’ve owned is our husky bc we knew her parents who were not breeders- nature just made a decision before they did and their dogs had 9 pups in their one an only litter.

Rescue dogs are amazing. People who rescue them are amazing. I love this about you!!! My rescue crew, Ellie and Reese, agree.

Nothing better than the love of a rescue . . . Josie . . .

This is my Snow. She was 4 when we got her, we were her third home bc people suck. She's almost 15 now. I like to tell people that fact so they are aware that dogs who need more than one rescue are still worth it. She's the biggest scoop of love ever. ❤️

I adopted this rescue (Charlie) nearly 12 years ago. He’s about 16 now. One of the best decisions I ever made

My girl always gets compliments. She traveled from Texas to Wa state just so I could find her at a local Paws

My Rory boy is a rescue...

This little guy rescued me. Best companion ever!

Here is my best (rescue) girl.

My rescue Daisy Mae is the sweetest gentlest thing ever. I’ve never seen a dog with such a sweet disposition ok

Same here—my dog Manches was a rescue. Every time we went out for walks, people would stop and compliment her. I always made a point to tell them she was adopted at seven years old.

Whenever people ask what kind of dog Thunder is, I say California PoundHound.

Mr. Handsome over here caught a compliment from a stranger at the pet store today. Whenever anyone comes up to say 'hi' to Nelson I'm always quick to tell them he's a rescue. I just want people to know rescue dogs can be as great as Nelson, so hopefully more people will rescue dogs. 😆

I got sick last year and didn't drink coffee for days. Caffeine withdrawal was rough, so I decided to just drop caffeine, and honestly I don't miss it one bit. The ritual of making a pour over and enjoying a hot beverage on a Saturday morning, that I miss. And that's how I started drinking decaf.

Anyway here's my Steam Spring Sale picks for budget gamers: Superflight Kona Karate Survivor Totally Accurate Battle Simulator The Ramp Wide range of largely casual games here for rock bottom (~$2) prices.

Snow is afoot this evening.

the new bird cam reduces doomscrolling one tit at a time

Oh cool, we're doing dogs in cars tonight!

Saturdays are for sandwiches.

Saturday morning vibes:

Nelson likes to follow me around and give me the soft eyes. I feel like it's the Rottweiler in him showing.

Work demands have put me into what is currently an impossible situation. So I wrote a process improvement proposal and made my case this afternoon. And now we're starting a project to overhaul how our ERP reports on component demand!

I keep a bed for Nelson in my office to help me remember what's important in life: dogs and sleep.

A fully restored vintage 24" BMX cruiser would fix me.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog in the last rays of this evening's sun.

It's so dark in the mornings now. I'm declaring it's 5:00 AM, and I'm calling it Daylight Investment time. This makes perfect sense, as long as everyone agrees to buy into it.

Nelson, being our self-appointed guardian against debris blowing in the wind, is having a busy day today.

Good morning friends

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. He wanted to give you a high five; you did great today.

I'm not a writer, but the part of my job that I like best is writing, and now I'm asking myself "should I try to be a professional writer of some sort?"
