CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Quality time on the couch is always good, Ralph. We thought you might be snoopervising the marathon today to keep the pesky squizzers in line.

Hoomum cheats and buys cubed frozen butternut squash. She's also been known to soften fresh squash in the microwave to make it easier to cut. Slacking is her superpower! 😉

Looking very spruce in your garden, fren! Hoomum thinks this pic should be your Christmas card, Herbert, since Ver-nerd didn't photo-bomb it.🤭🐕🐾📷❤️

BOOP! ❤️ Hoomum plays "Music for Dogs" on SiriusXM when she has to leave us. Maybe that would help the scariest. Adaptil plug-in diffusers are good, too.

Beautiful! Quite a hunting party!! In Michigan, we call them red-tail hawks. They feast on rodents & sneks. Squizzers beware!

Happy Sunday, funday, Bluesky family! Hoomum *abandoned us at lunchtime to go to the movies for the Downton Abbey Farewell pic. We are told she sat in VIP seats and the staff brought her snacks. 😱 OUTRAGEOUS! RUDE! Snacks & VIP treatment are for Corgis! There will be blowback!!

Go, Missy! You're trotting, girl! 🐕🐾💞 Maybe there's a churro on the road ahead. 🤔 Hoomum divides our walks in half -- 30 mins before breakfast, 30 miss after dinner. Slightly different routes so we can check p-mail & new sniffs.
