This is Simon. He was sitting in an Arkansas shelter with double cherry eye. Thankfully, one of our rescue partners was able to pull him. He had surgery in early September, and was adopted a short time later! He is currently training to be a service dog ❤️‍🩹

a brown and white pup, Simon, stands on a concrete floor and looks up at us. he has a cone around his neck, and is wearing a blue lead. his eyes each have a red cherry.

a closer view of the brown and white pup, Simon, as he splays out on a red checkered blanket atop a vet table. his cherry eyes are large, and obstruct his vision.

the brown and white pup is surrounded by three humans - his new family! they are standing together on the front porch steps of their new home.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

It's Banned Books Week 2025, and I have thoughts. Or you could just save some time and go read a banned or challenged book.

Tell me: What's your favorite banned book?

How funny you both have that colourful start! Well done getting past it 🥳.

Sometimes you see a word that just immediately reminds you of something. Like Bohemian, I’d immediately think Rhapsody. In this case it was Hedgehog and I just see if anything else works with it. @portybelle.bsky.social

Phishing message/AI spam offering "visibility" for my book this morning -- four so far. All reported. I do worry something genuine will be caught up in this but frankly at this point, if you're unable to separate yourself from the AI masses you're clearly not going to be able to "promote" my books.
