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

Shorty! www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

It’s Friday! Enjoying a Sasquatch Stout. I ❤️ the PNW.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

www.nytimes.com/badges/games... That just about covers everything! Also been enjoying the new Pips. #nytspellingbee #nytgames #queenbee #Connections Puzzle #814 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 #Strands #548 “Things are starting to take shape” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵🔵 #Wordle 1,536 3/6* ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Show me the first image that burned into your brain when you first discovered the horror genre. I was way too young when I saw this. I think a babysitter let me watch it on HBO.

It's Oliver's #GotchaDay! Four years ago today I fed a sad little cat who showed up on our property. He decided he was home and moved right in. Nothing makes me happier than being chosen by this perfect little monster. Details in ALTs.

I almost forgot what Beeatrice looked like! #nytspellingbee #ntygames www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

(yawn) #caturday

I’ve been told Penny has a boyfriend at daycare. He doesn’t like interacting with anyone except Penny; she made it her mission to befriend him. LOOK AT HIM!

I had to get some antibiotics for #Oliver from a compounding pharmacy and they gave me flavor choices: beef, chicken, tuna, and . . . cotton candy. For my cat.

The hall closet is so interesting! #Oliver #InternationalCatDay

Penny enjoying the wind in her fur! #TerrierTuesday

I’ve been walking this trail through the wetlands for 12 years and for the first time today I saw a beaver. Just chilling and munching. A BEAVER!!

On the kitchen island because: A. Wants snacks B. Wants outside C. Wants love D. Being a pill E. All of the above #Caturday

This guy swooped down and landed in front of Penny and me on our walk this morning. Penny was horrified and it took a lot of coaxing to get her to walk past it.

Y'all - guess who's going back to Japan in September for work? Just 2 weeks this time to help prepare for an inspection, but I am so excited!! (I spent 3 months there a couple of years ago and had a blast!)

Oliver decided to check out my car when I got home from work yesterday. Always ready for an adventure! #Caturday

As president of our Welfare and Morale Committee (one of the few things we're allowed to have; it's not considered DEI) I was super happy to hear that some people complained about the free donut days we do once a month because "it won't fix the problem." So don't eat the fucking donuts, assholes.

Behold my perfect boy. He is round and unapologetic. #Oliver

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? (I'm so fucked)

Oliver wants to go outside. Oliver is locked in for the night. Oliver has thoughts about that.

Idiots have already started lighting things off. I had to give Penny her tranquilizers sooner than expected. Nice.

The absolute joy in Monty's little bounces!

Hmmmm. Honestly, there aren't many foods I don't like/won't eat. I wasn't a hard no on anything. www.idrlabs.com/food-choice/...

My favorite. You know they were told - no, you spell it with an "E." It's perfect. Accept Wednesdays!
