Oh no, It's not dead! 🥲It is working perfectly I think. I examined it after the debacle last night. The rubber backing has been stripped away and the edges are a little loose.

I have put it in the rice for 3-4 days. Best not to use it till it's completely... dehydrated..

...It was just 5-6 very smol puppies and they demanded endless cuddles!

Then their mom came running and she was also like 'don't pet them, pet me". 🤣🤣🤣

Good times. 😅

A very fluffy mountain indie puppy with Rottweiler like black and brown markings sitting on a cemented balcony like structure in front of a room with yellow wall. Bright winter sunlight can be seen falling on the structure and in the background to the left of the room some dark woods.

Why I Love Horror by @raforall.bsky.social is a great book to read if you enjoy horror. I pre-ordered it the moment it became available.

#WhyILoveHorror
The white.Front cover of the book with WHY I LOVE HORROR written in black and red. A passage from the book Why I Love Horror - Essays on Horror Literature. "A story can push me to the brink and pull me back. I witness characters enduring horrors far worse than my own struggles and trials. If they can do this, so can you. I think I love it because horror doesn't flinch. It doesn't lie or sugarcoat or wrap the world in pretty packaging. It acknowledges the cracks in the veneer.

I present - ZEUS

(Green cheeked conure)
A very looong fluffy green cheeked conure named Zeus, perched on a blue bedsheet and looking towards the heavens, away from the camera. You can only see his dark grey beak and the front of this tummy as he stretches his neck upwards.

I am really debating if I should get a hard copy too. I found a cheap but well made student version that I just love. Rs 276 ($3?) so I'm tempted.. 😅
Cover of Dracula: A-Level Set Text Student Edition(Collins Classroom Classics) (Paperback) White cover with a large red 'D' on which a stylised bat is superimposed and in the center of the 'D' you can see mountains and a lake(?), all in red. The style of art is reminiscent of wood linocuts, I feel. Bottom left corner has the name of the book 'Dracula' and the author (Bram Stoker), also in red.

Nap when the baby naps.
The previously sassy Green cheeked conure now ensconced on his human's t-shirt (black)l clad chest, getting cuddles. You can barely see the parrot's body, because he's covered by the human's hand, only his head is visible along with one closed eye. The human in question is only partially visible, his bearded face is turned away from the camera and half the face is out of the frame.

Hello, I don't have a snooze button.
A very cheeky looking Green Cheeked Conure named Zeus, who started screaming at 5.26 pm while his humans were napping with their alarms set to go off at 5.30 pm. Zeus is perched on the outstretched palm of a human hand and leaning a little bit to the right, like a racing bike and his white ringed left eye is looking straight into the camera. Extreme sass 8.39/10.

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet
Zeus, the green cheek conure perched on a hairy human knee, preening his pinkish grey claw with his dark grey beake. You can see a little bit of a tongue popping out of the side of his beak.

The more I look at the spelling of 'essences', the more wrong it looks. It feels like the alphabets are mutating.

And now he's humming 'Dekha ek khwab toh ye silsile hue' while Zeus falls asleep.
