We feed the tummy, they feed the heart. 🐈‍⬛🤍

Yeah, it’s all okay now. I’m just still frazzled. Maybe sleep will help!

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 1d

I’m still feeling the aftershocks of running up and down the stairs all those times and panicking because Alec… isn’t exactly the sharpest crayon in the box. My BP is through the roof.

And they put a lock on the pedestrian gate and locked it.

I mean, it was one of our locks, but it was hanging on the shed door.

What the actual fucking fuck?

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 1d

Yard guys left the gate open. Thought we lost Alec. Very close call. Now I’m shaking and panting because my body did not need that shock.

Happy birthday!!!

K1: so we need to learn this lesson about writing
Me: ok ok
We talk about the Sumerians, cuneiform etc
K1/ they really wrote on clay?
Me: yep. Entire complaint letter sometimes
K1: ?
Me: let me introduce you to our local main character, Ea-Nasir...

They enjoy recreational flaying!

Clearly you’re not a drukhari.

If you plan to emigrate, you may want to wait until you’re in your new home country. Laws, training standards, and quarantine can all complicate matters.

I’m owner-training my third service dog (with complications) and looked into the legal twists of overseas travel pre-Covid. Yikes.

I hate how difficult it’s going to get to detect slop. :(

When @leavesdancing.bsky.social and I got married, I brought both Darian (senior service dog) and Bucky (apprentice service dog) to the restaurant for our wedding dinner. And neither of them was AI! 🤣

Unless I’m sorely mistaken, I remember when she was a tiny kitty. You’ve given her a lifetime of love. 💕

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, I had to put up the footrest and sit cross legged to make room for her!

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 4d

She took over the bottom half of the recliners for some careful-about-mom’s-incisions snuggles. 💕 #UglyDogs

Also she’s wet because it’s raining.

If this keeps up, we won’t have any dirt left in the backyard. #UglyDogs

Aleya’s tongue is coated with dirt

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 4d

So fluffffffy!

Jordan @jordansbrock.bsky.social · 4d

Needs more squirrel!

I also have no damn idea what to do about those last two. And my wife and I could seriously use the money.

It’s amazing how AI can find a way to fuck over even those of us who’d never touch it. 🙃

All three of my books, under my real and pen name, qualify.

Sourcebooks Casa registered one of my books but not the other, I suspect because they changed editors after I signed with the one who left. My small pub didn’t register my third, but they’re tiny and that shit’s expensive, so…

Does that mean you’re Duchess Raven?

Please consider letting the UD help pay for the ER?

Surprisingly, Benadryl helps!
