The look on that dog's face on the second picture...😂😂😂

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)

a cavapoo with long hair in various shades of gray sits and poses for the camera. his mouth is open and his pink tongue sticks out, his curly hair situated every which way on the top of his head. text on the image says, "the dog i dropped off."

a photo of the cavapoo with text that reads, "the dog i picked up." the pup's luscious fur has been trimmed all the way down, leaving him with a skinny body, but fluffy ears and tail. the pup looks at the camera with an uncanny human expression of disgust. he looks very angry about his new hairdo.

I loved QuarkXPress! That was my first layout and design program I used. Dang, it's been a long time. I did love that it wasn't Pagemaker. That one was awful. I do remember Quark being easy to learn. I taught myself how to do it with the QuarkXPress Quickstart book, the series with the rabbit logo.

Sparkles are completely necessary.

Why can’t you play hide and seek with a Pokemon?
They always Pikachu.
Not very good, I know.
I’ll show myself out.

I have doggies, horses, capybaras and lots of nature that all helps with this.

Oh dear, that looks very bad...

Isn't that the truth? They are very calm animals.

My brain loves doing vector because it's so precise and I love being precise. It flows fairly easily for me since I've done it for a long time. But I will say, it definitely is a mindset shift from one to the other there.

You are so welcome! I love your humor! 🍄😂🍄😂

Yes, yes and yes! @devpetty.bsky.social I laughed so hard reading that interview with you, I most certainly need a book where mushrooms have a song! Thank got for reminding me to lean into who I am as well which includes a very silly, goofy side that adored puns. 😂
