We call James our Biggle. Because. Well. 3x to big to be a beagle.
A person is sitting on a couch, reading on their phone. A dog that looks kind of like a beagle but about 3x too big is sprawled upside-down across their lap, clearly in the way

Hey @dndbeyond.com your Black Friday sales aren't working!
Sales page for Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage showing a sale price of $34.96 for the physical book, plus an "Add Digital For $10 More" promotion. Sales page for Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage showing the digital + physical edition combined for $59.95 (so regular $49.95 price of the physical book, plus $10 for digital add-on) A checkout confirmation page showing Waterdeep: Dungeon Of The Mad Mage with the physical book at full price. Interestingly, the $49.95 regular price is crossed out as though there should be a sale price listed, but the sale price listed is also $49.95

James's middle name is Tiberius because we are huge nerds.
A dog that looks like a 60-pound beagle is curled up on a pillow, looking at the camera with that worried expression some beagles always have.

My happy place.
A large bowl full of sifted flour, a 2-cup Pyrex with rising yeast mixture, and measuring shot glass full of olive oil.

Had a great playdate this morning!
A 60-pound beagle-looking dog is being chased by a 90-pound Pyrenees-husky mix and a 90-poind German Shepard. All dogs have tongues out (except the Shepard who has a toy in his mouth) and happy gaits and tails.

Meanwhile, my doofus was totally fine with a friend being here until the friend went to the bathroom and came back out, at which point... oh no! Intruder! Stranger! Bark bark I've never seen you before in my life!!!

The Biggle (looks like a beagle, weighs 60 pounds) is loveable and not smart.
Close-up of a dog with a very beagle-like face, smiling. The dog is way too big to be a beagle.

Behold, the Biggle. (He is a stray and we don't actually know his heritage but he looks and acts like a beagle... only he's 60 pounds.)
A dog that looks a lot like a beagle is using his human's arm as a pillow, eyes closed, desperately trying to stay awake for the snuggles.

Morning snuggles!
A medium dog with a white body, brown head, white cow-spotted muzzle, and black eyeliner and lips is snuggled as close as snuggling can get onto a person's lap. He has a look on his face of excitement and satisfaction.

Photos from the scene:
A large dog with white body and brown head, looking suspiciously like a giant beagle, laying on a couch under a person's leg. Notably the leg only covers a tiny part of the dog's hindquarters and belly.

Yes I've tried everything. Yawning. Holding my nose and blowing. Eating. Drinking coffee. All I hear in my left ear is the rushing of wind.

When you don't understand the concept of "weekends" or why Mom hasn't taken you for a walk yet.

(Fortunately, he DID get his walkies right after this picture was taken.)

Wednesday night dinner! Om nom chicken burgers (the secret is shredded zucchini which keeps the chicken moist!)
Plate with a chicken cheeseburger, corn on the cob, roasted potatoes, deviled eggs, and pickles.

Sunday dinner this week was Salad Bar in large part because it's so hot out we needed something cold to eat!
Green salad with salmon, beets, shredded carrots, feta cheese, mushrooms, peas, garbanzo beans, and probably a few other things buried in there.
