Marla, Dog with Sass

Good morning humans! I’m plotting how I’m gonna steal the show today at mom’s meeting 🐶✨ #dogsofbluesky

Hope says take a bubble bath. I say chew a slipper. Same results.

Meditation is just napping with extra steps.

Freedom is chasing squirrels without the leash! 🐾✨ What’s your definition of freedom? (Wrong answers involve no snacks.) 🧀😂 #WarOnLeash

Mum says she can ‘help me overcome my phobias.’ I say geese are proof that some fears are rational. 🐾✨ @hopebastine.com #MarlaWisdom #FluffyHealing

I waited the door all night, turns out she’s living inside a rectangle 📲

If I were a therapist, my advice would be:

1️⃣ Bark it out 🐾
2️⃣ Take a nap 🛋️
3️⃣ Chase your fears… unless it’s geese 🦢

Spare human took me on yet another walk and when I got back, Mum was gone! 🏃‍♀️💨 Anyone know where she went? 🐩😭

Mum got me a clever Xmas 🎁 but I figured it out quicker than she expected. #smartass

I 💯% survived the hard diet days you put me on! The vet has no idea what she’s talking about. ✨🧀

I’d be grateful if someone refilled my food bowl. #dogsofsky

New Year, new me,” the humans say,
But I’ll stay fabulous either way.
My resolution? To chase my tail,
And maybe steal your holiday mail. #dogsofbluesky

Celebrate? Great idea. I’ve grown emotionally and physically this year—especially around the waistline. Thanks for the extra treats! ✨🧀

Mum thinks she’s luck out! 🐕✨ #cosynightin

It’s my fav! ✨🐩🪄

Small resolutions? I resolve to bark less… unless it’s the vacuum, the postman, or the fridge door opening. 🐩✨📩

Resolve to snack more, nap longer, and care less. You’re welcome. 😇

It was going just right until mum had a go at me for eating too much and then I barfed. Then I hid I’m mum’s bed. (That’s my version of events).

If there was cheeeeese! 👿🎊

All I wanted was treats and cheese! 🧀 🎄

Just because you’re home for the holidays doesn’t mean you have to play the same role you did years ago. Unless your role was ‘nap enthusiast.’ In that case, carry on. 😴✨ #MarlaLogic #dogsofbluesky

Silent night? Not if I hear one more delivery truck! 🐾✨

Memory-making chaos, achieved. 🐾🎄✨

Hope says Christmas is about joy. My joy is turkey and no vacuums. 🐾🎁✨

Humans, check out this thread but don’t forget to throw me some cheese. 🧀 ✨

Mom says: “Let go of what no longer serves you.”
I says: “Serve me the bacon, Hope!” That’s how gets my peace of mind. 🐾✨ #MarlaWisdom

I've never been roasted by an open fire, but I did once get ridiculed by a space heater.
