Paving my path towards utter destruction by cuteness by feeding Freya exactly one hot roti with ghee ☠️👀

Always surprised to find sewer grating in North America with marks saying 'Made in India's

Where exactly are they made in India?

Also - do gulls murmurate? I just saw a humongous flock of gulls at the falls perform one!

Dogs with even the slightest amount of jowls end up with the gooberiest face when they are on their backs. Case in point -
A majestic yet slightly goober golden lab looking dog with ears like she is about to take off into the air. She has a slight dusting of snow on those ears and is wearing a dark blue harness Same golden lab looking dog, looking exceedingly gooberish and bat-ish as she is on her back. She seems to have an impish smile and bat-like ears as she looks askance while lying on a soft and pretty carpet

Same feeling as when I found out that Maud Menten was a woman.

A pleasure in this day and age to walk into a cafe that serves you drinks in regular drinkware, at a table, with accessories.

Not fancy, just regular. An unchanging menu of Viennoiseries, Croque Madame et Monsieur, Quiche and baguettes

Double points if it is within walking distance of your home 💖

Updates on Freya's growth 🐕 She has both been more than a handful and one of the happiest, friendliest and most calm puppies I've seen yet.

And she still hasn't stopped growing 🙃

Took the puppy to visit a dog-free neighbourhood Indian Aunty's home. She behaved like a total goober - nipping, biting, yelping, jumping, refused to sit and stay when she knows both really well

Walking back home, partner says - kids never fail to disappoint you, especially when visiting others 🥲

Freya is coming home next week 💓 She is quiet, a bit shy but curious and gentle. I can't quite make out her mix, and also can't wait to see her grow up 🥰
