This is Daegi and Jjigi. Together they share one brain cell, and Jjigi is currently using it to look out the window. 12/10 for both #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: j___d_love)

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.

Fall [part 1/3]

A cartoon crow is looking up as orange, red and yellow fall leaves dance in tje wind around him.

The crow is walking on the crunchy leaves, saying "what a perfect day!"

The crow is marveling at how lovely all the leaves are, new seeing a stone in his path.

The crow trips on the stone right on his face.

Elsie hates getting wet and spraying anything near her freaks her out. We used to bathe her ourselves but kiddo is off at college and it’s too much for just us.

You’ve got me there. $80 every 4 weeks because my wife complains Elsie gets waxy and smelly.

What can I say, I have oily hands and I pet my dog A LOT.

My former employer did one of these. Spent millions coming up with a new logo. We all immediately noticed it looked a lot like the pork council logo of a year earlier. And guess what? The same consulting company that did the pork logo did ours! 🤣🙄

I haven’t given up an update on Elsie’s walks in a while. One reason was that she wasn’t walking as far. Turns out her arthritis had progressed. BUT! We put her on carprofen and she’s doing much better now. Walking faster and further than she has in months.
