1/2 Husband found an abandoned dog at our local dog part this morning. Someone left a muzzled dog with a collar and leash attached in one of the dog runs. He found him at 6am terrified and pawing at his muzzle. He was very friendly and husband removed the muzzle to give him food and water.

I love her faux-hawk. #TerrierTuesday

Post you in another country. Japan, 2023.

Nothing Oliver loves more than supervising the unloading of the groceries. #Caturday

Showing off his summer body #Caturday

On this #Caturday Oliver would like a snack and pets, please.

Up to no good. #OliverAndPenny

Took my mandatory constitution, insider threat, and trafficking persons trainings today. Oh, how I laughed!

For #TerrierTuesday here’s my lock screen. Penny is a badass (and she knows it).

Popped up in my memories today - 4 years ago. Time is surely flying by! I loved this cake so much. The inside was pink champagne cake. #NYTSpellingBee #birthday

My snuggly valentine. #Caturday

My little gremlin at doggy daycare yesterday. #Penny #DogsOfBluesky #ValentinesDay

Just 1 for me - grapefruit, and only because my cholesterol medication forbids it. 🤷‍♀️

“extreme measures” 🙄

Furloughed. Again. There's a whole lot I'd like to say, but as a federal employee, I don't feel safe anymore. There is so much going on behind the scenes that is just bad. Really bad. I don't know. I'll probably have to delete this.

Happy to see my horror short story LANDLINE on the @locusmag.bsky.social Recommended Readling list. It's been scaring the heck out of readers reactormag.com/landline-kel...

This has to be the most disorderly “orderly” shutdown. Conflicting guidance is flying all over the place for employees.

I haven't bought these in years, but 6 boxes are on their way!

She wore her lucky jersey today. #Patriots #SuperBowlLX

Insane thread 🚌

One of my favorite places in the world - #SabinoCanyon. My first time back in 3 years and my favorite cactus is looking good! I always spend some quiet time there. This place centers me. I grew up here. #Tucson #CrestedSaguaro

The many moods of Oliver. He gets on the island when he wants something because he knows he’s not supposed to be there and will get immediate attention - even if it’s not the kind he’s looking for. #Caturday

Oliver’s plans this #Caturday include much napping and a Churu. At some point there will be aggressive snuggling.

How my husband and Oliver are celebrating New Year’s Eve. 🥳🍾

How I'm walking out of 2025

This is Miss Penny's second Christmas with us, and she is a good sport about the Santa pics we sign her up for at doggy daycare. She surely made Santa's "good" list and will have a stocking full of goodies in the morning. Happy Christmas to those who celebrate. #DogsOfBluesky #TerrierTuesday

From a couple of years ago (no sign of snow this year) and one of my favorites. Oliver LOVES the snow. I usually have to drag him in. #caturday

Describe be your cat’s personality with one photo

yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore I feel like we need this

A movie that takes place where you're from

My Penny and her boyfriend having a lovebird's photo shoot at daycare. His underbite is phenomenal. #DogsOfBluesky

Here we go! #McRib

We didn't have a set of encyclopedias (20), and, though I certainly had a boombox (9), I don't remember carrying it on my shoulder. So, 1.5 points?

As of today, since Oct 1, federal employees have received 1 partial paycheck and missed 2 full paychecks. I am one of those employees.

This is us 20 (!) years ago today, right after we eloped. We stopped for a celebratory drink after the courthouse. He was getting ready to deploy and wanted to make sure I had rights and protection in case something happened. What a ride it's been. ♥️

For the #TerrierTuesday theme #ChangingTimes, I submit Penny. It took her 2 times to pass her daycare interview because of nerves, but she rallied and became Camper of the Month within a few short months and is now their go-to for interview assistance because she is so gentle with new dogs.

I'm on day 34 of being furloughed. After the first 2 weeks I knew I had to find something to do. I'm now a volunteer with our local humane society. I've been doing dishes and laundry most days. Waiting for the Kitty Academy class later this month so I can pet/socialize all the cats! 1/2

Very “Sit down, we need to talk” energy this morning. #Caturday

This face. #DogsOfBluesky

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Chilly this morning so we had to bundle up for our walk! #Terriers #DogsOfBluesky

Penny “cuddling” her best friend Oliver. #TerrierTuesday #CuddleTime #OliverAndPenny

Snuggling with his favorite pup on #Caturday #OliverAndPenny

Welp. I’m one of the furloughed. Good times.

Look at this little closet goblin. #Caturday

There’s a chipmunk loose downstairs. Ollie brought it in and it got downstairs before Penny could snag it. Penny has never, and will never, go to the basement level of the house. Anyway, I can’t find it. Completely unrelated - what would you name your new pet chipmunk?

Today: Flu Shot ✅ COVID Vaccine ✅

Why no, I’m not about to chomp the cat. Why do you ask? #OliverAndPenny
