As far as I know the orange idiot has not yet insisted we rename "Mars" as "Charcoal". Then again, I have not read the news yet today so i suppose its always plausible.
I expect some befuddled teachers getting confusing assignments back from the google kids..

In other news, i have once again butchered poppy's haircut.
Poor doofy looking dog- her haircuts keep getting worse and worse. I thought practice was supposed to = progress. Apparently not in my case.
(It would look better if she didn't jerk her head around madly while I have the trimmers out)

Poppy's nose is turning brown. I suppose this makes her an official brown-noser? (Also don't mind her stylish beep caller- it makes a noise when she forgets herself and barks so I don't have to be right by her to remind her constantly. )

I found poppy's chewy hiding spot in the clean laundry. She is mad at me for uncovering it. I am a disappointment.

Strangely enough I'm not super excited about carrying you home now that you sat in a puddle and are cold and wet.

Poppy has gotten infinitely better over the last year- but still ain't good. We literally have the "i need space" leash flag...
I apologize for not including the artist- I did not find attributes for it.

Bb is a big fan of the "tomato" that shows up when you let the water out of the bath tub. Someday I might mention that it's a "tornado", but today is not that day. (Also, gross- my tub drain really needs to be cleaned)

Pretzels and yogurt, eaten in a box "car" with a puppy co-pilot.

Nacho is flaunting his chewy wealth. He doesn't want to eat it, but he certainly does not want to share it either.
Such a perfect allegory for the current world.

Poppy stood on me staring into space like this for 30 minutes last night.
I'm pretty sure that this little dog only has about 4 braincells bouncing around in her tiny noggin.
1: relegated to anxiety/barking/threat detection
2: food procurement/hiding
3: cuddling
4: sock stealing & playtime

How to turn your dirty mop gremlin into a fluffy cutie in approximately 300 steps (most of which involve trying to re-catch said gremlin.)
If she put as much energy into anything else as she does trying to rub the "clean and wet!?!" Off of herself after a bath, she would be unstoppable.

Bb randomly walks up and hands me things: might be a piece of trash, a speck of dirt, a booger, a pebble.
Today he handed me this. It's going in the memory box for him to have when he is older.

For his birthday, I set out paints, markers. And plain wooden trains I primed white.
Guests each decorated a train and added their name and the year to it.
Thus far, it's a success.

Took a short walk this evening, which was aborted by the rain.
Left the house with two small dogs
Returned with a drowned rat and a used mop.

This meme delights me every time I read it.
This probably goes on the "proof I'm a giant dork" pile, but I'm always up for some shaming of fellow americans who think "our" pronunciation is "correct", and loudly judge people with proper English accents.
( It's al-you-min-ne-um, Yall.)

Core memory unlocked today: while watching the love stream of the MEGA Lab cam stationed off of kona HI on the tube of you:
I did a school project in primary on the damselfish because I wanted a reason to be able to say a bad word, and "damn selfish" made me laugh a lot.

Oop. Spoke too soon. Now they put a rolling cart out. It has 4 legs. Poppy says this is definitely sus.
(We had to move everything away from the condos for power washing, so she is experiencing "things have changed" anxiety. )

Happy 5th "Gotcha day" to my little old man, Nacho. We are so lucky to have you as a part of our family, you rediculous little rat-dog.
I know poppy gets more screentime because she is endlessly ridiculous, but we all know who is really the star of the show... <3
