This dog. Most days I have to argue with her to eat because she's a spoiled princess who needs wet food & toppers with her kibble. And then!!! On days like today she's like oh yeah, I'll eat dry kibble in about 5 minutes! 🤔🙄
Sasha has a very fashionable lion bathrobe on today 🤣 She got a pre-dawn bath & walk (it's already 81F, 91F heat index with 90% humidity)
My daughter gets allergy shots every other month, a nice chewy order every month and new toys every time I go to TJ Maxx/Home Goods (they sell the giant ones that she loves). 😅 oh, and she's claimed the guest bed as hers!
I finally stitched up some embroidery designs! Starry fandom designs are from @stfa.bsky.social, and the Moon joy is some pocket embellishment for a dress that I have cut out.
Today's shot of the day: a very grumpy North American River Otter being disturbed by the camera shutter
So last night when I got to work I had a ton of emails complimenting myself & 2 other RTs for staying calm & collected in a difficult intubation. Which was nice & surprising. But then! My boss came in early this morning and gave us these! 🤯🤯🤯
I just hit 365 days on my reading streak! Of the 108 books I read, 50 of them are library books (thank you reciprocal library cards)
I'm having a hard time reading this morning thanks to sleepy toe bean twitches 😍
Yesterday I went to a very special retirement party @bluecypressbooks.bsky.social for the best bookstore kitty
Time for Sasha's annual portrait session 😅 She hates to see the antlers coming 🤣
2 stages of getting ready for work: hecking concerned puppy and sad puppy
Sasha was ecstatic yesterday when she realized she was getting an evening bath and walk!
Happy respiratory care week to all my fellow RTs! #respiratorytherapist #respiratorytherapy #medsky #RCweek2025 #emimcc
I made chocolate biscotti this morning and Sasha was ready to do some quality control testing. She wasn't happy when I told her "no, chocolate isn't for puppies"
It was really rude of new orders to pop up right as I got to the "wait, WHAT." portion of this book 🤣
Every time Sasha sees me getting ready for work, she goes a little crazy and turns into a leaping velociraptor (with optional brain cells) 🤣🤣🤣
"What do you mean, I need to move so you can get into bed? This bed and pillow are mine"
...but would you be okay with is my dog being a velociraptor or a puppy pictures? 👀🤣
Sasha had a terrible day with my Dad today. She suffered through 4 sprinkler sessions and 3 walks! 🤣 #dogsofbluesky
The best part of coming home is falling asleep with Sasha. Even if she is a bed hog! #nightshiftlife #dogsofbluesky
