Sodas are absolutely ridiculous - even my compulsive-soda-drinking husband decided that we'll just be making lots of iced tea, thank you very much.

The vet suggested trazadone if it gets to be too much. So far we've just been dealing with it.

My very senior boy barks at me at night. When I get up, he will settle back into a bed. Sometimes he wants it floofed or wants a blanket if it's cold. Some nights he'll do this multiple times and some not at all. What's interesting is that he doesn't do it when I'm out of town.

No matter how long they're with us, it's not long enough. Hugs

Muzzle made for long-nosed greyhounds with a solid area in front of the mouth to prevent snacking on undesirable things like poop.

Yep, one of mine walks in this muzzle because every walk is a feast for her - sidewalk-fried worms, rabbit poop, and all the other random things she manages to root out of piles of leaves.

A breathtaking sight! The ultra-rare “Firework Jellyfish” captured on camera nearly 4,000 feet beneath the ocean’s surface.

White hound standing on a day bed behind a desk with a laptop and two screens, staring meaningfully between the monitors. A polite nag for walkies.

White hound has escalated matters - he is now standing on top of the desk hanging his head over one of the monitors. This is the less polite walk nag. More of a demand complete with eyes drilling into your soul.

Palmer with the polite walk nag and the escalated walk nag. We're going to have to do something about the 60lb dog getting up on the desk and standing on the laptop thing.

Four large, old oak trees towering in the front yards of suburban houses, limbs stretching out like gnarled, tangled fingers.

A tangle of oak tree limbs for this moment of suburbian nature.

A white greyhound with red ears and spots curls like a quote mark between the bolsters of two stacked dog beds, happy and snug, contemplating an infinite Sunday afternoon or possibly her next snack.

Anna curls like a quote mark between the bolsters of two dog beds, happy and snug, contemplating an infinite Sunday afternoon or possibly her next snack. Please forgive the copious amounts of white dog hair liberally sprinkled on the beds - every day is shedding day but washing day will come soon.

I am incapable of folding a towel and putting it on a stack of folded towels without then giving that stack a little pat. I have tried not to pat the stack and I have failed.

Shiner - a ten year old red greyhound rescued from neglect. Patchy red hair and soulful eyes. He just wants to be loved on. He's as comfortable as we can make him while he's treated for a variety of problems.

The bestest foster boy Jesse was adopted into a fabulous home, and now we have emergency-medical-foster Shiner. He's 10 years old and in pretty bad shape. Skin and ear infections, heartworm, malnourished, labored breathing, and horrible teeth. He's as comfortable as can be and getting treatment.

This looks like a "don't do these five things" example in a data visualization textbook.

Fawn hound with an orange collar napping in dappled sunlight on a gray dog bed. Vibe - sleepy.

White hound in a purple collar laying on a dog bed with his head resting on one leg staring into the distance. Vibe - pensive.

White and red hound with a blue collar laying on a dog bed, alert and with ears perked halfway. Vibe - interested.

Natural History Museum to display rare dog-sized dinosaur The dinosaur was mislabelled and misunderstood - but scientists now realise how special it is.

Squee - dog-sized dino!

I adore this series, own all three thanks to a lucky find at a used book store, and reread them every few years when I'm in need of a smart funny fix.

Summer - blue, blue sky, green leaves, white cotton candy clouds.

Very old red fawn greyhound mix who has gone quite gray in the face and body sunning in the June Texas sun on a dog bed on the patio. Serene and relaxed with sun-squinty eyes.

It's getting Texas summer hot but dogs gotta sunbathe.

Thrilled to see that her books are available from her so I can finally read the two I've been missing - I lucked into finding two at used book sales over the years.

Inc. an early ARC of THE DOOR ON THE SEA!

Book cover for Instructions for Traveling West: Poems by Joy Sullivan. A drawn desert landscape with cactus and bright red flowers on a rocky background.

Poetry - sometimes it just resonates deeply with your soul. I checked Instructions for Traveling West by Joy Sullivan out of the library. I'm not quite half done, and I've ordered a copy because I need it on my shelf forever.

The first tomatoes of the season!

Two crocheted teddy bears - one pink with a purple shirt and one blue with a green shirt. Honestly they look a little nervous.

The current project that's been taking up my spare time - teddy bears for my niece & nephew.

I'm going to have to sign up for a streaming service, and actually watch TV. It's not like me, but this is the reason and I'm very excited!

Tall, fawn fuzzy greyhound mix investigating some big, bright aqua blue planters. Our foster dog Jesse is about 7 years old, and while he has a big boy bark, he is a total daddy's boy snuggle bunny.

Our foster boy, Jesse, is a 7 year old greyhound mix (maybe some borzoi or wolfhound given his size and fuzziness). A gentle giant who loves people and is good with other dogs.

I recently returned a hardcover library book unread because of tiny font and looked for it in ebook format. Feeling my old eyes this year.
