enjoying the end of summer #WicksonWednesday

after having multiple hounds, i often point out that the turn of phrase is “attention hound” and not “attention spaniel” or “attention terrier” there is a reason for this

Top Tip: Relax twice as fast by playing your mindfulness mediation at double speed.

Trying to get any footage this trip is proving to be very stressful

not loving how fast the r-slur came back from the grave where it belonged

the look of a dog who is getting the attention she’s wanted all day #MonaMonday

ok so he’s got burrs in him but at least his fur is clean….. oh no

if you see this, post a selfie of you and your pup

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM RUN #uglydogs

If you’re calling for civility in a time when fascism is overtaking the country then you are on the side of the fascists

If you want to understand the full Wickson Experience, here’s what it’s like to go to the dog park with a retired sled dog. #WicksonWednesday (Bonus question: What stinky substance did Mona roll in before we left home?) (Bonus answer: We have no idea)

Monday timeline cleanse …. Mona discovers that raspberry bushes fight back!

a few weeks ago one of my sons let mona in the front door she was unleashed we were confused until we figured out she’d once again pushed through the screen door on the back porch no idea what she did in between but she ended up sacking on her dog bed in the front yard

dog park time!

Mona’s favorite puddle wasn’t watery enough to drink out of… but Wickson discovered it’s the perfect consistency for a mud bath 😂 #WicksonWednesday

Attn #UglyDogs, I need your help! Y'all know that @jordansbrock.bsky.social & @leavesdancing.bsky.social are family to me. They've always been there for me & I've been itching to go bleral for them. So I'm summoning a Bleral Brigade with their consent! 1/3

death is always the enemy and i will never celebrate it, no matter how awful the person is, because doing so would surrender my own humanity and bad people don’t get to take that from me my humanity is mine and they can’t have it that said, i’m also under no obligation to mourn a bad person either

I'm pleased to report that Kieran & I love the human sized dog bed! He loves cuddling with me & looking out the window until he falls asleep. #UglyDogs

can’t top this for #MonaMonday

Is also important for the reader to note that in both of our cars, the automatic gear shift is between the front seats—right where he swings his butt around.

okay I did a (bad) diagram 😂 more info in ALT but: basically he’s attached into the back seat, but can stand with his front half in between the front seats but he learned that if he can somehow turn himself around between the front seats, he can swing his butt around and sit on the passenger’s lap

Wickson has taught himself a new trick: when in the car, he’s leashed into the back seat, but he’s figured out he can get his head in between the front seats, and if he keeps his head still and swings his butt around, he can get himself into the lap of the passenger and get scritches 😂

Do NOT come between Woodbine and his Stripe Hoop

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

Happy #WicksonWednesday featuring @honestdogbooks.bsky.social!

when the vacuum comes out and you need your emotional support squeakie #wicksonWednesday

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

happy September! #MonaMonday

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

what a fucking stupid time to be a person who cares about other people

Someone needs to get all the Megans, Meagans, and Meghans, in a room and finally figure this mess out.

basic human rights are not something u put up to debate like some influencer game show shit

have a moment of calm with Wicksy #WicksonWednesday

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: Don't just say this is about "thoughts and prayers," right now. These kids were literally praying.
