She is quite boopable. Though she will probably be insulted by the boopage. But then ask for more. 😸

She loves that it has long arms and legs—perfect to play tug with. 😁

LOL. My favorite part is when she walks across the keyboard and I have to explain to someone why I sent a message that reads, “lllllllllllyyyyy]]]]]]]]]]].”

Halley loves her monkey. It’s been one of her favorites since she was a puppy—and I’ve mended it multiple times. #favoritetoy #doglife #happydog

A black and white cow cat is sitting on a lap, and the person is sitting in front of a keyboard. The cat is looking at the camera and the person who was taking the picture has her hand on the cat as if she’s petting her.

Halley gets nervous when I completely break down but when I’m quietly depressed or anxious or afraid as people lose their freedoms and willfully ignorant folks think it’s ok, she snuggles up next to me. None of the tools I usually use work right now, except maybe the warm love of my dog. #lovemydog

Black dog is resting her head on my leg looking at me and the camera with soulful and caring eyes.

We took our couch cushions off to create a barrier so our dog Halley can’t jump up while she’s recovering from her injuries. This makes a purr-fect safe spot for Dawn to escape to when Calvin teases her. #lifewithcatsanddogs #hideout

A dilute tortoiseshell tabby cat sits behind an upturned couch cushion. Behind her is a pillow. She looks a little unhappy.

A dilute torbie cat with lies in a bed with her pawed hanging over the side. Behind her is a window. It looks like it’s dusk and winter: there’s snow on the trees. The cat looks very content and her paws are just too cute.

Yes, my cats have a water fountain. It encourages them to drink more, and my dog, too—and I don’t think anyone minds sharing. #sharingiscaring

It was 50° today before the wind started so Halley and I had some time to sit outside and enjoy the sun. It was also good entertainment for her; so much to watch and so many sniffs. It was a great activity during her recovery #terrierlife

“Halley, do you want to play ‘Find it?’” That’s where I hide cat kibble under boxes & in blankets in the family room & she has to sniff it out. When your dog is injured & on restricted activity, you need to get creative to engage her brain. You can tell from her expression, it’s a fan fav. #terrier

A black terrier with a scruffy white beard looks at the camera with a happy and hopeful expression on her face. Her tail is a blur in the background as it is obvious she’s wagging it.
