Happy birthday Pepper! Hope you get plenty of treats!

Clara would eat pea gravel when she was little. We had to watch her like a hawk every time she went out lol. Now she only really eats grass sometimes, but if there were treats involved all bets would be off. Every last speck would have to be consumed.

If I were Lulu's neighbour, it would be very important to know when she was coming to greet the world!

For when you return to your phone - I took these last month and meant to send them to you!

You have several feelings boxes worth at any given point anyway, right? Just put lids on the boxes.

You do have several feelings boxes worth, don't you? ...Right?

Omg Melissa you can't just ask a panda why it's made from material.
a group of women are sitting at a table in a crowded cafeteria .

Clara would just eat the leaves if we did this. Only way to guarantee you get all the treats. Plus bonus leaves.

There's probably something that can do it for you! Just a little counter that ticks over the days until you reset it, where you can set the timer to X days since our last incident of bird administered violence? Surely that exists?

I think pinning the skeets is probably simpler though lol.

I'm glad she didn't draw blood. That still sounds very sore though!

Do you have a little 0 days chart to mark it on?
November 16, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Ouch! Did you want a new piercing? Because the rules are there for a reason 😬

Excuse me, there appears to be an arctic wolf on your deck.

It was even actual proper sharing, not just him opening his mouth and letting treats fall out which is how they usually share - he tastes, she eats.

But today we're all very tired. Lots of family naps!
November 16, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Everyone is very tired today lol. It's a cosy day of napping 💚

What if we run through the streets shouting 'free puppies'?

(they also got sneaky pizza bones because we realised it was super late and we didn't want to cook 😁)

Thank you! We never used to celebrate the dogs birthdays, but both of them have turned 10 this year and we have leaned in to opportunities to spoil them.

That's what you need if your foe is clever. Clara just needs a split second of distraction and Tato will almost certainly forget what he was doing 😂
November 16, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Sneaky minx!

And if he gets any attention, she either barges in, or will find someone else to get pets from so he comes over, and then she runs to the first person who was petting him.

She's a menace! 😂
November 16, 2025 at 12:22 AM
If he has something she wants, she plays with another toy in his face making it look really good until he drops his thing. She does the same with attention from people. She got fussed outside the shop today and kept checking that I was watching and then came to 'tell' me so I'd be... jealous?
November 16, 2025 at 12:21 AM
😂 oh dear!

Luckily, Dex is fairly dominant in any disagreement between the two so he can stand his ground if she outright tries to take stuff from him, but Clara manipulates him like crazy. She sends him places as a guinea pig by pretending that's where she's going.

It's lovely when they're thick as two short planks, isn't it? For us it goes well because Miss Clarabelle is ridiculously clever and I couldn't cope with being constantly outsmarted by two dogs! She gets him to team up now without 🥔 knowing. It would be very bad if they could hatch plans together.
