Sherlock, my sleeping baby. I mostly just post dogs, but I consume lots of what others are saying. ❤️

My 10-monyh-old puppy, Sherlock, hanging out with Bastian, our 9-month-old Doberman foster pup. Bastian has put on 5 lbs in 2 weeks and is starting to learn how to dog. ❤️

Have a fun and safe #Halloween

- Morgaine and King Arthur
I'm holding my Chihuahua, Arthur, and he's dressed as a king in blue and gold D I'm wearing a mask that's white and red and glittery. We're gazing off into the distance.

Newest foster pup, Bastian. ❤️ He is starting to come out of his shell after being dumped as a 'stray' at a shelter with a 50% euth rate. 💔 Has two tick-borne diseases+giardia, hopefully that's gone. He also has an eye condition, treating with eye drops. Aka, a hot mess. But we'll get him fixed up!

Sherlock is a wizard.
Sherlock is a silver Staffordshire/heeler/cane Corso mix. He's wearing a dark blue wizard outfit - we know it's a wizard because of the gold foil around the neck and the gold star on the pointy hat.

Captioning #CSSDay from New Mexico, USA. It's kind of early... 😂 But the energy at the conference is felt across timezones! ❤️
A steno machine in a dark room. It's really tilted back because that's how I write.

Captioning #nbpy in the barn! One of the most unique conferences out there. ❤️
White Coat Captioning
Looking on the the North Bay Python stage from the stenographer's table. There's a stenograph Luminex on the floor, and it's tilted really far back - that's how I write - and a laptop on the table. Beyond that is the stage and some barrels for decoration. The captioning screen is the the right of the audience in the front, not blocking the stage.

I've been covered in puppy crap for the last three months. Of course I'm keeping one of the puppies.... 🤷🏻😂
A gray large breed puppy with gray eyes. He's on patio furniture holding a toy in his front paws and gazing into the distance.

Maya and I both watching Edie in the distance. Maya is available for adoption through Sandoval County Animal Services in Bernalillo, New Mexico.
Me and Maya both looking into the middle distance - Edie, my old beagle is out there and Maya wants to play attack her. The shot is from below looking up to the blue sky, a tree is above us. Maya is a brindle and white Boston terrier mix with funky floppy ears and a cute pink nose with spots on it. I'm a middle aged white woman with short dirty blonde hair. We're both smirking.

Maya has me breaking the no puppies rule... She'll hopefully go to her forever home this week, which is good because all the resident dogs hate her. Oops. 😬
A brindle and white Boston terrier mix puppy named Maya asleep in my lap. Her pillow is a little stuffed unicorn.

These are our newest additions, Kanga and Dozer(daughter/dad) - we adopted them because the rescue we were fostering for wasn't doing their part. They both have front limb deformities, and we are working with a prosthetic expert in the area.❤️ Our home is not ideal for them, but we're making it work!
Kanga, medium mutt, in the snow - she has a front limb deformity and this may be her first time seeing snow! Dozer, medium mutt, in the snow. He likes it more than Kanga. He is out in the yard.

Dolly maybe wasn't so impressed that Jasper didn't get adopted today... ❤️
Dolly Foster Dog looking at me intensely. Jasper foster dog looking up at me wearing an "Adopt me" vest - he didn't find his forever, but not for lack of cuteness!

Fosters Jasper (Odontoma, in good health, looking for forever) and Dolly (malignant mammary tumors removed, will probably stay with us forever) wrestling in the living room.
Everyone should do morning wrestling probably.
A big black dog - Jasper & and a slightly smaller dog that is black on the back with white legs and chest - Dolly - wrestling in our living room. They're fosters. ❤️
