Lumi looks kind of cat-like to me, I gotta say.

#UglyDogs beware of impersonation, here of @tonichelle.bsky.social .

Here’s two goofballs hoping for some fun. I hope they help you soon.❤️

You didn’t want to do any work, did you? Kiko will help with that.

I saw a lot of negativity! I can’t open this link without registering but it’s where I got that phrase.

That’s an automatic skywatch.Blue label based on when you got here.

My current lock screen is a @betsycooley.bsky.social photo. It’s very soothing and I need that right now. You rock, Betsy!

#UglyDogs this guy is using our tag and has nothing to do with us. The account is flagged for mass following (over 300 people today). Beware.

At Lutsen, MN I think, at least 36 years ago.

Here are my brother’s Samoyed and my nephew’s Aussie mix cuddled up together. Nephew and (Dreamer) wife are living with my brother to save money for a home,. The dogs get along, but the Samoyed is older and the Aussie has separation anxiety, so it’s a bit of a challenge. They love each other tho.❤️

Here’s a snowy Samoyed named Sofie.

My Kitchen-Aid is somewhat worse for the wear, but it continues to serve us well after more than 20 years of at least weekly use.

Here’s our tree. We downsized when the kids became adults.

After much procrastination I finished this blanket for future DIL. Last year I made lace snowflakes and this year I made yarn ornaments. (Gotta have something little for coworkers and neighbors.)

Jessie also made sure to wear layers, because as a last resort, she could throw them at the rusalka.
Generally, when a boss tells a female employee that they should be ready to throw their clothing at a murderous mermaid in case things go horribly wrong,
that's going to merit a sexual harassment lawsuit. However, this is an old land, and things are a little different here. The locals understand. Mostly.

Bluesky not great at recognizing languages, lol. And so many bilingual users! (Especially the huge Brazilian cluster).

Screenshot of Mac’s reply, in English, “He’s a cat. Of course he took control. He’ll spend most of his time batting around the brain cell between this from paws.” With a Bluesky note that the post I’m replying to was marked as being written in German. Would I like to reply in German, lol!

Here are two silly pups for you.❤️❤️❤️

A very silly Aussie mix and a very silly Samoyed pretending they are scary and tough!

@jordansbrock.bsky.social did you guys get snow? We have a little and it’s still falling.

View out window of an inch of snow and more falling. A lighted snowman is on the windowsill.

Here are three good doodles.

I frequently have been using your sky photos as phone wallpaper because they’re beautiful and soothing.

Very few pictures of my heart dog, miniature schnauzer Gus, as pre-phone camera era, here with my husband’s beloved Great Pyrenees puppy and my brother.

I’m done with this except for the wide contrasting border. I made the pattern because I thought it was pretty, and future DIL just loves it so it’s going to her for Christmas.
