Xmas reminds me of Buddy, found by an AL interstate on 12/26/14 with a bag of food. He was 9-10yo. He went north, we got him ~9 months after & had him till just before COVID.

I'm worried about my fish tank. I just noticed that this one fish lost its flowy tail and dorsal fin, & he looks like he's injured under his face. I'm thinking the others are picking on him (all-male tank), but could it be something else?

It's quite silly to expect him to "earn" his chew by going potty outside in the snow during a cold weather advisory. He did let me sleep in. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

Someone is unhappy about being made to wear a sweater, never mind that this will keep him warmer IF he ventures outside. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

He's normally floppy-eared but, sometimes when he sleeps on his side, an ear will pop up and stay upright for a few minutes. He's cute. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

There was no school yesterday, but I was at work anyway. I'm glad I got to see this right after 7am, before my otherwise busy and boring cleanup day. #bluesky #sunrise #lookup

My Tuesday Team Building Games Club played "air pump hockey". They (we) played on teams, trying to blow the pumpkin to goals at the ends of the tables. While it was fun, it just about made it impossible for me to clean my classroom afterward; my arms were dead. #STEM #afterschool

Cocoa loves weekends. If he does all his morning business outside, he gets his "poop treats" (beef liver) AND the all-important dental chew. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

Cocoa says he deserves a snoot boop for going for a ride yesterday to get a booster shot. Someday, he'll get into the car while leashed. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

While on crossing guard/bus duty on Tuesday, I saw this rainbow and a faint double rainbow. I am glad I took a couple of pics because in a few minutes, they were both gone, and then it started raining. #bluesky #rainbow #doublerainbows #goodmorning #nature

On Wednesday, Doodle Club had its (8th or 9th?) annual "Spaghetti & Eyeballs" day. I gave them ping pong balls, they drew the eyes & cling-wrapped them. Pasta was water, green glue & sodium alginate, squirted into a calcium chloride solution & then washed. #STEM #STEAM #afterschool #halloween #art

This was my guest teacher on Thursday, Mrs. Pile (first name Leaf). Not really...the students who happened to be in Science on Thursday saw me retreat into my costume to become a leaf pile. #halloween #costume #DIY #halloweencostume #STEM #STEAM

With it getting colder & wetter, typical winter challenges arise again, i.e. whether or not he chooses to go outside (weather-based). #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

Did I do my water change at the wrong time? I've never seen them even get close to each other before. I don't know their sexes & there isn't enough space above the water line to lay eggs anyway.

We periodically have him sit/ride in the car so he keeps getting more comfy with it. He sniffs outdoors more now, too. #WIP #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

He finally made it to the vet, will need to go back in a month for a booster shot. Getting him in the car to go home was trickier as he was leashed. #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

It took 20 minutes, a pup cup, & many treats to get him in the car yesterday. Today it was shorter. Next, get him OK with having dad in the car too. #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #seniordogs #dogsofbsky #doggos #dogs #adoptdontshop #furbabies #SeniorPupSaturday

Once again, we failed to get him in the car...we will try again in 2 weeks, by then he'd be out of one of his meds. I think it's going to be rough.

I really never should click on a video about the saddest cartoon episodes ever. Futurama's Jurassic Bark is almost always at the top of the list. That episode just breaks me every time I see it or even think about it. It just pains me...and it's a cartoon, FFS.

We were going to take him to the vet yesterday, but it rained. Getting him in the car is hard enough; doing it in the rain is crazy impossible.

Cocoa has made a lot of progress in 4 years but he's still far from a typical dog--just recently accepted a leash now that he explores the yard more.
