Just like last Friday night, I feel like the following post will be evergreen for the next 3 1/3 years:
Fuck this week ... I'm taking a xanax, going to bed and listening to a #romantasy audiobook. I don't have the bandwidth for anything more complex than hot dragon riders fighting & having sex.

Live your life like a basset hound, who does not let her short legs stop her from getting notebooks off the counter to chew on or rules about being a lady keep her from getting in the garbage. Love my stubborn low rider.
Basset hound pretending she's innocent, laying on her side, short legs tucked up, long brown ear flopped over, brown eyes looking sad, freckled nose pointed away from purple notebook she pulled off the counter.

Someone dumped a ten month old puppy, left him tied to a car overnight. In other news, I now have 2 dogs.
Everyone say hello to Milo.

First weekend of summer:
Tricolor basset hound and basset mix lounge in the newly reclaimed-from-weeds backyard as the sun sets in NW Denver. Clouds, a tree, a Virgin of Guadalupe in a brick niche, other backyard fixings, a garage in the back.

Aarhhoooo! Kal is a sweet 8yr old #BassetHound looking for his forever home. Kal loves to play, hide his treasures, & go for walks. He does have some separation anxiety and would do best in a home without small children.

Never a louder sigh than from an unemployed, rent free, food subsidized, dog.

He now knows how to block the cats from napping on my bed. It gives me Trump vibes.

I mention a loyal basset hound when promoing my short stories… and yes he lives!! And he’s adorable.

I don’t kill pets in my stories. They add something wonderful to each story and if you’re the kind of person to kill off a dog or a cat at least warn us first. I’ve literally dnf’d for cat deaths.

How to tank a writing career in one.
I killed a dog in my book and said there's no afterlife then I watched a writing video that said pets can have big roles in books so be careful and a beta reader asked me if a dog dies and said she checks a site with a list of books to avoid. then a dating app guy said my afterlife role was a hard pass and dipped. damn people. dog culture is dire. they're great pet but stop acting like they have little moons orbiting them. your behavior is raising our vet bills. they're not a child. chill.

Me letting the dogs out: Okay, boys, now be good neighbors like Allstate.*

*Spoiler: They were not good neighbors. They immediately ran out to bark at the neighbor doing yard work, because clearly they should get to help.

A collage of four pictures in a two-by-two square, all showing the same dogs: a basset hound and a rough collie puppy. From the left top: The pair do a good sit and look at the camera; the two run in the yard, and the basset (who's wearing a Hawaiian shirt) looks viciously like he's totally gonna bite the collie (if he catches him); the two are chilling in the yard with the basset looking away (and still wearing a Hawaiian shirt); and the basset does a good, contemplative sit in the yard.

For my friends who don't yet know, my Basset Hound, Violet, lost her battle with cancer yesterday when things went south quickly. I adopted her and her brother Barney from a breeder, so they have always been together. Barney and I are both sad today.

Hooch the Basset continues to ride the struggle bus. After a week with the donut, we are trying this bootie. The paw is still irritated, and we continue to medicate.
