She is so cute 😭
A small dog sitting on the back pillow of a sofa, in front of a window. The dog is a yorkshire terrier mix. There are blinds in front of the window, causing a diffuse, bright backlight. The sofa has a threaded texture pattern of whites, beiges, and greys.

Without downloading a new pic, where are you mentally
Close up of the inside of a mailbox. One piece of mail is being removed. The other piece of mail is inconveniently close to a screaming possum backed up at the other end of the mailbox.

The timeline gives gifts
Two skeets in sequence: the upper shows a skydiving baby. The second shows a dog looking up, and the faint outline of a ball. Coincidence from the timeline.

Mfw I think about the "Haven't you drunk enough?" line from The Crippled God.

Still haunts me.
A dial labelled "OOF SIZE" on a white background. The increments go from small, medium, and large. The dial is set to "large". To the left is the semi-transparent face of an old man with a moustache making a very expressive "oof" face.
