Still eating my birthday cookie. I hope it’s like the eternal flame and fishes and loaves all in one and lasts forever. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Today is my 5th birthday! The groomer sent me home wearing something called pawm-pawms. They don’t look scary like a spiked collar, but maybe I can use them as cannonballs. Maybe, mom got me a very small cannon as a gift. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo: time for my monologue Me: Because you are 1 poodle on a log? Banjo: because i come before the story Me: That’s a prologue. Banjo: no, that’s the opposite of amateurlog Me: There’s no such thing. Banjo: then i’m a dogalog Me: Also no. Banjo: then why is there catalog? #dogs #dogsofbluesky

I’m going to play football in college, because I really want some rice bowls. Mom says the team is the Rice Owls from Rice University, but there is no such thing as owls made of rice. I hope my rice bowl has teriyaki chicken #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Me: Why did you stop walking? Banjo: i forgot my keys Me: You don’t have keys. Banjo: of course i do. how else can i play piano? Me: You can’t play piano. Banjo: you said i had to piano Me: I asked if you have to pee now. Banjo: I’m gonna be so good at jazz. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Yesterday I tried my paw at knitting. I don’t have any instructions, but I know it takes some yarn and needles. All I had was my leash and two sticks, but I’m pretty sure this will look like a sweater when I am done. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo doesn’t like baffs but somehow ended up napping in the fountain when it wasn’t running. Hamish just turned it on and thinks he is pretty funny. Mango and Siggy remain perfect gentlemen. #BSkyProm2026 @siggyschnauzer.bsky.social @jillbdc.bsky.social @hamishmom.bsky.social

Banjo had nonalcoholic dog champagne, and the bubbles got him buzzed, causing him to lock their outfits in the limo. Hamish said not to worry, because he could “lightly toss” Banjo back in through the moonroof. The prom photographer caught them midstream. @hamishmom.bsky.social #BskyProm2026

We passed by a plant detention center again on our walk. There is wire all around and I’m not allowed to peemail there. I don’t know what they did to go to plant jail, but I think I read on the internet about domestic violets. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

For #ThrowbackThursday, this is mom’s childhood family dog, Jana. She looks sheepish here, because she knows that linoleum floor is not going to age well. Fortunately, she stayed pretty and fashionable into old age. #GermanShepherd #dogs #Dogsofbluesky

Mom said it’s #Won’tLookWednesday, so I replied, well, I WILL look under this bush for zombies. And then she said, “hey, a white-tailed deer” and started laughing. Zombies are no laughing matter. And I didn’t see any deer. #dogs #zshq #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Can I please ask our Anipal Community to repost this invitation to the #BskyProm2026 ? All the backgrounds are on inserted thread below with choices for limos, entrances, special photo backdrops, dining area, bar, & dance floor! I hope everyone can drop in! DJs all day! Welcome to your Prom! 💜🌻🥰

We saw these bricks at our neighbors’ house, so I asked mommy if she would build me a giant pyramid tomb for a dollar. She told me not to be morbid. So I bid less and offered her 50 cents. I just need to keep her occupied while I figure out how to get bananas off the counter. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Banjo had a big day with our guests and running around the yard free yesterday. He will resume being snarky after his recovery period. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo: Psst, it’s hole day. I’mma go out and dig. Me: No, it’s a holiday. Banjo: howl day? Me: Hol-i-day Banjo: We haul…sticks? Me: We bbq Banjo: I’m not waiting in a queue for Barbie Me: It’s Memorial Day!! Banjo: Shhh, why didn’t you just say that to begin with? Me: #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Since mommy won’t let me chase the small yard bunny, I made stick art. This is a middle hooman finger. Mom uses it to say hello to cars that won’t let us merge safely when there is a lane closure. #FreeBanjo #PoodlesAgainstLeashesInTheirOwnYards #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

We brought this Navajo rug home from grandma’s that she bought long ago in the US southwest. Every time mom put it down to take a picture, I lay on it. So finally she asked me to pose next to it and gave me a treat. Training her takes a ton of patience but is worth it. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

This baby rabbit stares at me every day and ducks under the deck if I get too close. Since she isn’t scared of me, I assume she is not a zombie. Also, I am always ready for action when my adventure paw is up. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #zshq

In his youth, Banjo was a skateboarder, but his dream of making it to the Olympics fell apart at about the time he chewed his skateboard in pieces. #PuppyTeethDashingDreams #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

I’mma steal and drive this pontoon boat at high speed. You can call me Fast, and mom will be Furious. Now, how do I get the seat closer to the steering wheel? #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

On the road trip to Boston to visit grandma, I pretended to read old newspapers and also visited the MLK and Coretta Scott King monument. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo is working on his technique combining shot put and javelin to throw a branch. The biggest problem, though, is releasing it, because stick. He says sticky is why sticks are called sticks, as they don’t want to leave your mouth. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow is the big Fashion Show for anipals here on Bluesky! We all need fun and some time to relax! It can be a short relief in our daily stressors! So, join us if you can! Event is drop in between 2-6pm EST at the Bluesky Community Center! #BskyProm2026 💜🌻🥰

Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is me crossing a border I found so mommy will give me carnitas. So far it’s not working, but I can keep this up until veinticinco de Mayo if I have to. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo Sphinx: Traveler,you may only pass by answering my riddle. What lives in a bag, in a jar, and in a pocket? Me: A dog treat? Banjo Sphinx: Yes, don’t mind if I do. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Someone left their toddler at the playground wearing only a t-shirt. He just asked me for Cheerios and a juice box. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

I asked Banjo what he was doing with his frisbee. He said he is a lifeguard in case someone very small can’t swim in the shag rug. He is calling it Maywatch. Happy May Day, folks. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

The groomer sent Banjo home with a very large tie. He was ok with my posting this, but his face said that it might not be his best look. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

We went up the viewing deck in the park, but a well-mannered baby goblin distracted me from the view. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #UrbanPoodleCollective

I found a tiny forest gnome in this hole, but he told me to get my big nose out of there. So I stepped on him a little as I was leaving. Mom said that was passive aggressive, but she doesn’t know that my pro wrestling name will be Massive Aggressive. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

I got burrito-ed while mom was on her phone box. I think I look like the front end of a very fat sheep. Baaaaaaa #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #UrbanPoodleCollective

When I sleeps upside down I am dreaming I’m a bat. Or in Australia. But if I’m a bat in Australia, I’ll be right side up again. I think. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #UrbanPoodleCollective

Step 1 - stalk target Step 2 - spin around fast enough for ears to decapitate very, very short zombie Step 3 - check to make sure zombie is dead vs. living dead Training complete. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Banjo: knock knock Me: Who’s there? Banjo: hi mommy Me: So, you are supposed t… Banjo: hi mommy Me: Hi, Banjo Banjo: hi mommy Me: 💕💜💙💗 #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Poodles and poodle mixes, if you feel like answering, we have a fun weekend activity following the schnauzer model of sizing by Mars candies. If you let me know how much you weigh, you’ll have a spot on the Reese’s Poodle Butter Cup scale. For example, Banjo is 20 pounds or 9 kg.

Me: You’re using it wrong. Banjo: I have a joke. How many moms does it take to use a walking pad. Me: I don’t know. Banjo: I don’t know any around here either. Me: Banjo: (blep) #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

I told him it’s Won’t Look, not Won’t Go Home Wednesday, and he said that gravitational pull is how Integrity got around the moon and back to earth, and I should call NASA instead of blaming him for pulling. I think he is watching too much tv. #Artemis2 #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

When Banjo awoke in the morning, both Jack and Rose had disappeared from the wreckage of the Titanic. He felt forlorn, as all of the treats were in Rose’s pocket. Sandra Bullock intimated that Hope Floats, but unfortunately his treats did not. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

As an addition to the annals of I Should Have Known Better, here I thought Banjo was just being funny and enjoying the grass. I had regrets. He had a bath. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Mommy came back from Hades (travel), so I did a Demeter Greek goddess thing and brought back spring. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Hoppy Easter! Mom is still traveling (again), and other pawrent doesn’t know where the bunny ears are, so she gave me a book. Mom asked, “Why are you giving the baby heretical texts? Take him on an egg hunt.” Sounds like gobbledegook, but I’d eat an egg. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

There is a sign right there that says dogs should not step off the path. But I can’t read, so I’m thinking that I’m probably gonna do it. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

I told mommy that I was just gonna check out an old acorn in this troll tent. I didn’t tell her I maybe smelled zombie, because I need to use her as bait like the goat in Jurassic Park. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

I am Antman! Or maybe the stump grew, and I stayed the same. Another of life’s mysteries. Anyway, I hope I get bigger before dinner, because I hear that portion size changes. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Mom came home, so I had to remind her this morning that we fit together. She is old and forgets things, but this is important, because I invented the lying on top wake-up call. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Is it really #puppyday? I am fierce home sentry and zombie hunter, but once upon a time was a baby. I was a gift to moms but didn’t come in this box. It’s a metaphor. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Banjo sent me a text that he is being mistreated. I think he chose the wrong pic. Somebody is getting tucked in at night next to the dogsitter. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Mommies went to London for a few days without me. You didn’t catch me messing with the rug. I caught you packing and did this to show you I know. Also, checking for zombies under the rug. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ

Banjo found the soundtrack to Pocahontas, so he is checking to see if he can taste the colors of the wind with his tongue like a snake. (This was before he joined the zombie squad so didn’t look for any in the woods.) #TongueOutTuesdaybutActuallyThrowbackThursday #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Banjo pulled his ear back to listen for zombies and ended up playing the role of Hermes, the Greek trickster god and fleet-footed messenger who stole Apollo’s cattle the day he was born. I don’t know what theft he is planning, so I locked up the hamburger meat. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles #ZSHQ
