Sploot

When there’s a heat dome, it’s important to take safety precautions to avoid melting.

A little yellow dog lays flat on his belly with his tail facing a window AC unit.

Splooting in front of the AC window unit works well…

Same dog, same room, same position, except now the dog has rotated 180 degrees to face the AC.

…so long as you remember to rotate your Sploot regularly to maximize coolness.

Father’s Day

I wanted to catch Human Daddy a nice Squirrel to celebrate his special day, but Human Mommy told me Human Daddy actually doesn’t like gifts of freshly killed rodents.

Who knew, right?

A large black and white hound cuddle outside next to a metal patio table.

So instead I’m giving Human Daddy a Father’s Day cuddle.

I hope he can feel my heart through my fur so that he knows he’s the best father ever.

Frieda and her Unicorn

Hiya! My name is Frieda. I just moved in with my big brother Fritz next to Grammy Cat’s house.

A tiny black and caramel Daschund is help by a man.  She is so tiny that the man holds her with one hand, pressed to his chest, along with a unicorn shaped dog toy.

I also just acquired a bright pink unicorn, picked out by Xena and sent to me by her Human Mommy.

The tiny puppy is now on a wooden deck, holding her new toy tight in her mouth.

I really like my new unicorn and I’m going to play with it very gently, even though Xena tells me that the most fun game with stuffies involves finding their squeakers and removing them.
