We found her in traffic. We brought her to safety. At first, she was shy, but soon she became a sweet, affectionate puppy. She's less than 1 year old and loved playing in our front yard. She showered me with kisses. If you're in the Los Angeles area, they named her Betty. She's a sweet little girl.

A man brought a puppy to our gate and said he didn't live in the area, but this puppy was in traffic. He asked if we could try to find her owner on our street. She was so sweet and friendly. She loved attention. We found no owner, and later that day, we took her to a rescue. They named her Betty.

Yay! It’s Cinco de Mayo AND Taco Tuesday!!! It’s the perfect day for celebrating Mexican culture, hot salsa, and the best tacos. We’re making homemade corn tortillas, carne asada, onion cilantro relish, green salsa, and black beans. Have a great day there, too! #cincodemayo #tacotuesday #tacos

May is National Pet Month! We’re celebrating our sweet Pittunia with a Pup Piñata. We hope you have a great way to celebrate and honor your beloved pets, too!! If you can, adopt a pet. If you can’t adopt, foster a pet, or support pet parents everywhere. #petmonth #pets #dogs #cats #animals

I'm sad. Bluesky sent me a stern email because I made a humorous comment about fake assassins. I hope we can move beyond this unfortunate situation. Here is my response:

The door has opened on another #MurphyMonday. Don't let it close without doing something fun; something just for you. Have a fantastically happy day, my friends! #MuttMonday #DogsOfBlueSky #PhonePhoto #RescueDog #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin

It's National Pet Day, and that's wonderful. But does anyone know when National Princess Day is??? XOXO, Pittunia #nationalpetday #dogsofbluesky #pets #princesses

At a ridiculous phone call this morning to jd vance at the campaign podium of the horrible dictator, viktor orban in Hungary, trump just said the people of the United States support orban. We do not!!! Please pass the word and set the record straight.

My Dad told me he was adopting a bunch more puppies, and I would need to share my bed! Then he screamed, "Happy April Fool's Day," and gave me all these toy Pittunias!!! I love my Dad, and we hope you have a Happy April Fool's Day too! #dogsofbluesky #aprilfoolsday

March is Pet Memorial Month. Our beloved Rex and Sandy were with us since they were tiny babies. It never dawned on us that they would be gone one day. Although this is Pet Memorial Month, we think of them every day and how much we will always love them. Have a Meaningful Pet Memorial Month!

Happy National Puppy Day, everyone!!!

This dog belongs to my ex-boss, mentor and very good friend. He hired me MANY years ago; 2 months before I earned my photography degree. When he retired, so did I. Yesterday I talked him into trying out BSky. Please go show him some encouragement! @louiekaflooey.bsky.social #DogsOfBlueSky
