She’s a solid 67lbs of muscle and the best weighted blanket ever.

She’s doing so so well!! We started her on Reconcile last fall for separation anxiety in addition to doing some private training and group training for excitement reactivity around other dogs. Seeing her confidence and personality grow and blossom has been the best gift ever πŸ₯°

I missed this place so much. My mental health was probably the worst it’s ever been for most of last year so I cut out any extra temptation to just sit and doomscroll. In a more stable (stably horrified) state now so hopefully I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Plenty of Stella spam to come!

Can’t believe that little bean on the left is now the 67lb moose on the right 😭 Time needs to slow down.

Totally agree!! I grew up near Chicago so it was a big adjustment for me. Both in just sheer size and less diverse. After a year I found my go-to spots and noticed a lot of things I loved about Chicago I could find in GR, minus the traffic 🀣

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

If I get mysteriously murdered in my sleep, the culprit is Stella.
Motive? It’s -12Β° outside with an extreme wind warning, and I made her wear her snood to keep her ears warm and protected.

Don't Waste This F*cking Podcast True Crime Podcast Β· Updated Weekly Β· A true crime podcast about fraud, and the communities that come together to stop scammers.

Funny how she’s been dead silent ever since her β€œstatement” which explained…nothing beyond things she already said. Shes still got an active GFM too.

Reminds me of Megan Stoner back when I was on Twitter. There’s a whole series of podcast episodes on her.

this for years and asks for something else every day with a brand new post. Then gets offended nobody’s donating and makes accusations like β€œya’ll don’t care about r*p* victims I guess.” On the contrary, we care about victims but we just see through your bullshit.

She tried to cover her pattern of deleting by saying β€œwhy would I still leave up an ask if I got what I needed?”

If it were me I’d quote my original post and say something like β€œThanks to all who donated, I’ve met my goal!” She deletes so nobody catches on that she’s been doing

Zero problem with it if it’s custom to the language. However, that obviously isn’t the case here.

You’ll never convince me that bully breeds aren’t the biggest babies. Poor Stella just jumped on the couch while staring toward the front door, and was shaking so hard her teeth were chattering.

The culprit? Big bad scary snow plow 😭

Tell him to live it up!! I was there the 2009-2013 when we (unranked) knocked off #1 Kentucky in the final 3 seconds of the game. Watford, Sheehey, Oladipo, Zeller, Jones, Hulls, Elston…it was a great time to be there if you love basketball!

IU football was so bad when I was an undergrad that our slogan was β€œWell, at least we’ve never lost a a party.” πŸ€ͺ

Never in my life did I think I’d be watching IUFB play in a National Championship. Hoo hoo hoo!

Sunday/Monday scaries are hitting hard and this girl just knows. So lucky she picked me to be her mama.

Bonus if she decides to lay all 65lbs of herself on top of me. Best weighted blanket ever.
