Our husky had surgery this week and the body she needs to wear to prevent her from licking her stitches makes her look like Steve Jobs in his iconic turtleneck sweaters.
She would like to talk to you about the latest Apple products…

Happiness is when you bring out the hiking doggy backpack and your 10-year old husky bounces off the walls from excitement. We put less weight in her backpack these days (don’t tell her), but she’s still our best adventure buddy.
Enjoy your dogs while you can ❤️

As a behavioural ecologist I am amazed by how consistently cats are just little shits😍 The trait clearly expresses a considerable degree of context independence so it must be subject to selection. Has anyone quantified the heritability of being a little shit?
