I realized I've been posting mostly sleeping Phara lately, so today is a thrilling strawberry action moment.

Good night friends 🥰 💤

My husband is making a batch of chicken jerkey for Phara, who takes her inspection and taste testing duties VERY seriously.

Phara had her weekly PT session today, and as usual her flatulence was a source of amusement. Apparently while we were getting her laser treatment, one of the techs came into the lobby, smelled the air, and said "Did someone poop?" Another employee told her, "No, I think Phara was just out here." 🤣

OK San Diego, I understand and accept that none of us know how to drive in the rain, but I KNOW you can turn on your damn headlights so please do at least that. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

New dog bed has arrived, I guess we're going to have to warm up to it 🤣

Phara had her weekly PT appointment yesterday where she had acupuncture, laser, and hydro therapy. She is absolutely konked out today, but will undoubtedly find some deep reserve of energy when I go into the kitchen 🤣

This dog just let out the longest fart I have ever heard in my entire life.

@auggiethebeck.bsky.social you see this pup? 🥰 🍜
We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

Phara's extremely terrifying Halloween tale:

This morning I was NOT GIVEN BREAKFAST and was instead taken to the vet where a VAMPIRE STOLE MY BLOOD. The end.

(She had to get a routine liver test and needed to fast before hand. She has since been fed).

This is Phara's favorite game, we call it "hunt". We remove her from the room, hide a toy that contains treats somewhere in the room, then she has to find it.
