The Rules of Getting Marla’d

Rule 1️⃣: Say HI.
Rule 2️⃣: Be prepared for sass.
Rule 3️⃣: Stick around for snacks, zoomies, and Marla-style chaos. (And occasional wisdom for Hope but she’s not important)🐾✨

Who’s ready to Get Marla’d today? 🧀😂 #SnackGoals #MarlaRules
Good morning humans! I’m plotting how I’m gonna steal the show today at mom’s meeting 🐶✨ #dogsofbluesky

Hope says take a bubble bath. I say chew a slipper. Same results.

Freedom is chasing squirrels without the leash! 🐾✨ What’s your definition of freedom? (Wrong answers involve no snacks.) 🧀😂 #WarOnLeash

Mum says she can ‘help me overcome my phobias.’ I say geese are proof that some fears are rational. 🐾✨ @hopebastine.com #MarlaWisdom #FluffyHealing

New Year, new me,” the humans say,
But I’ll stay fabulous either way.
My resolution? To chase my tail,
And maybe steal your holiday mail. #dogsofbluesky

Just because you’re home for the holidays doesn’t mean you have to play the same role you did years ago. Unless your role was ‘nap enthusiast.’ In that case, carry on. 😴✨ #MarlaLogic #dogsofbluesky

Humans, check out this thread but don’t forget to throw me some cheese. 🧀 ✨
On this day I give you my thread of threads if you just need a distraction for a minute or two.

Happy Christmas
This is my thread of threads - the stories & tales I tell in one place for the Bluesky:

I've never been roasted by an open fire, but I did once get ridiculed by a space heater.

Who’s rocking the holiday vibes better? I says sparkles, Mum says cozy chic. Drop your votes for the ultimate festive champion! 🎄🐾✨ #Pet #HolidayWars #MarlaWisdom

Mum said I was a good girl. She was looking at the spare humans but I know she meant me. 🐩✨

You feast and toast with holiday cheer,
While I sit sulking—let’s be clear:
If you want true joy this holiday,
Drop the roast on my plate today. #dogsofsky

Perfect holidays? Only if snacks are unlimited. #dogsofbluesky

That was an exhausting Xmas Eve … 🐶✨

Every gift under the tree should squeak or taste like bacon. I don’t make the rules. 🐾🎁✨ #MarlaWisdom #dogsofbluesky

Mum says to find joy in the little things this season. Yeah! Like me finding joy in the little leg of turkey I stole. Mission accomplished. 🐾✨

My motivational speech this morning: 'Stop whining, start walking, and don’t forget my treats.' 🐾✨ I might not be subtle, but I’m effective. 😂❄️ #MarlaLogic #HealingWithSnacks

You
Reconnect with joy, you like to advise,
But I’m joyful already—just look in my eyes!
Play isn’t hard when your tail wags true,
So take a note, @hopebastine.com : try barking too. #DogsOfBlueSky #SassyHealing
