A migraine-y couple of days has led to some good cuddle time with these two this weekend.

Working upstairs this week brought many visits from Cactus, who did her best to disrupt work and practice her biting skills. #caturday

Got out for a hike yesterday alongside the Grand. Hoping it tides them over since Fish has a vet appointment today and the weather is looking a little sketchy for the afternoon.

Still one of my favorite cemetery statues.

All his 8 month old goofiness is a lot sometimes, but then he gives me this look ♥️

Someone needs to tell these two that it's nap time and if they don't go to sleep soon, the cat is back to being my favorite kid.

Stopped by @thebookloft.bsky.social while I was in Columbus last week and somehow managed to keep it to four books!

A friend posted this of my puppy Fisher and it is too perfect not to share. At 7 months, he is like a combo of Jurassic Park and Shark Week (and also the bestest boy).

Bring on the snow! My Pyr/Newfie pup is ready to play (and probably just lay in it while I futilely try to get him to come inside.) And also, boo on extreme temps and climate change.

Lovely hike with these two this morning. Here's hoping they sleep the afternoon away so I can read.
