Childless dog lady, 🏳️🌈ally, rural leftie, fat-fingered typo queen, Forever Canadian🍁 I may be old and forgetful, but at least I’m not old and forgetful
My poor little Bean suffered so much during our a 3-hour+ severe thunderstorm last night, and nothing seemed to help - not calming chews, toys, massage, thundershirt - until I smeared her lick mat with peanut butter. For 15 minutes, she forgot to be afraid. All hail the power of the mighty goober!🥜
Even on a warm, muggy day, when you have to garden in full sweaty anti-mosquito hazmat, there are tiny (delicious) rewards. 🌱 #wildsrawberries
I dread July 1 because some entitled mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging dipshit will always defy our village’s fireworks ban; the only way my poor Bean can settle down is if I medicate her and stay within petting range until the idiots run out of boom-booms.
Like most of the men in the Mountbatten-Windsor men, he had a promising start, but (sadly) did not improve with age:
I concur with this paean to the noble Cheezie, but how DARE the author besmirch the sacred memory of late, lamented Cherry Blossom??
I’m staying close to home today (thanks, radiation fatigue!), but still plan to dress appropriately🙂 #HappyCanadaDay
Thank you for all the news you share on this platform, Cheryl - you are a gem! Happy Canada Day🍁 (Miss Bean, shown here on her very first Canada Day in 2020, sez she hopes everyone enjoys their celebrations, but not too many fireworks, plz?)
Hang on, is that Barbie wearing an HBC jacket? I’m so envious! Also, while we no longer have a cat, our backyard kit wishes you a happy Caturday:
I’m SW of Edmonton and it’s not much better here: giphy.com/explore/doct...
I’m showing my age, but my mind immediately went to Go Dog Go. I always wanted to join the treetop dog party🐶🐾
Cue another day of obsessively checking the sump pump. (If I see the deer and moose walking two by two, I’m busting out the rowboat.) #buildanArk #staydry
Y’know, when I saw this in the Costco parking lot yesterday, my first thought was, “This is the product of genius”. (Assuming, of course, that “genius” is defined as racist, entitled, drug-addicted psychopathic man-baby.)
Our new tenants are adorable, but I’m still waiting for their rent cheque (apologies for the poor quality - I stayed back so I wouldn’t spook Mama). #backyardfoxes
What do you do with a donut hole/Timbit/Munchkin then, as there is technically no bottom??? (Though there are pop rocks, at least for a limited time🙂).
For #IndependentBookstoreDay, a couple of photos posted by Mulhurst Bay Books and Gifts, one of my favourite places to browse when I’m in the area. Moochie the Bookstore Cat is the sweetest little silky-coated rescue boy, and definitely one of the main attractions. #Caturday mulhurstbaybooks.com
Same issue for me, only it’s sad 10th Doctor face. When I was a camp counsellor, I was once approached by a concerned little girl who sweetly asked, “ Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?”
Apparently, the dogwoods needed pruning. (And really, who’s going to argue when the gardener’s this big?)🌱 #Canadamoose
