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

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 🦢

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! ✨🧀

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

Marla, Dog with Sass @marlabastine.bsky.social · Dec 26

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).

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
