Sahara likes the petit ones (she chews off the ears). She likes to carry them around in her mouth. I speculate they remind her of puppies. It's not clear to me if she's had them or not.

Happy Sunday afternoon. Thought I'd share my delight of the day (™️ of @minnesotagirl.bsky.social ). Some plants I brought inside this fall are flowering.

Happy weekend!

Yep. At least my county park doesn't have hunting there, so we can use it for longer walks. Sahara is very deer colored. Even the underside of her tail is light.

At least he's consistent. Meanwhile, Sahara ate a dozen homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Based on her size the vet thinks she'll be fine.

Not sure how to add this to her butter count.

Ahem, I guess she was also hungry.

She likes smaller stuffies. I think she may have had puppies l,and she likes to carry the stuffies around in her mouth. She has a little devil, too.

Happy birthday, Katie!

When I had mine done last year, the staff was the happiest people (not sure why 🤨).

Sahara is a proud snoozer
November 18, 2025 at 6:05 PM
Solid idea. Sahara is, very deer colored, even her tail is light on the underside when it's curled up.

Absolutely beautiful day. Sahara and I went for a hike in Scuppernong area of the Ice Age Trail. 4 miles - longest walk with me. Interesting geology in the Kettle Moraine area some of the trail is sandy.

A person gave her a pet, their grandchild is also named Sahara🤯. Said they really needed that 🥲

Mine isn't holding the flask and no goggles either.

Yep

Good morning. Wi ter is coming...

Went to the grocery store. Sahara had to get her Lambie when I got home to soothe herself. She walked around gently squeezing it, and now they are napping in her bed.

She's my first dog, ever, who doesn't get up until I do.

Very nice day (if a little breezy). Sahara and I hit the Culver's before taking a walk in the marsh. She obvs got a pup cup and some of my fries.

While some folks wait for election results, thought I would share my post Halloween candy sale purchase.

@jencoleslaw.bsky.social Stunt MMs. Not bad, can taste some pie spice and a pumpkin adjacent flavor.
