When purrrsonality goes a long way.

My gift: stumbling upon HBO gems.

The summer vibes aren't even joking.

New "alternative facts": "Truth isn't truth."

Hold on...here we go again.

(Happy Monday)

When white feet meet white paws.

Dog show etiquette is very specific.

Weekend ready, cool as a cucumber

Feelin' that wind in her hair.

Thanks, Shiva! You're the best!!

He's insatiable with the backyard shenanigans.

(But Yeti knows the rules: no kitties outside at night.)

Summer's final pesto? We hope not!

A warm glow on the homestead.

Living the dream on Sunday afternoon.

We finally visited 'Isle of Dogs.'

Well, hello, pub cheese. You're spectacular.

Eye love you, yes, eye do.

Where are these treats you mention?

Don't lose steam yet! Tuesday's toast.

She doesn't like piña coladas, either.

(Caught in the rain.)

The coconut lovers DID unite, actually.

Ah, yes...the heat finally breaks.

A little excitement for the night.

We'll start with this: All is totally fine.

However, this evening we came home to a chirping smoke/carbon monoxide detector that would not quit, even once detached and re-batteried. That, alongside a Lulu who would not stop panting heavily and acting very oddly, made us certain that we should call the fire department. 

Shout out to the Chicopee FD who were here in minutes and SUPER willing to test the entire house and spend as much time working with our detectors as necessary. They were fantastic, and our wonderful neighbors also checked in to make sure we were ok.

0% of anything noxious was detected, and we're pretty sure we simply have a faulty detector and a dog who was just incredibly bothered by the incessant beeping. 

What a good dog!! And an unexpectedly exciting date night in!

When outside's your jam (but, humidity).

A classic for International Cat Day:

Ominous morning sun, foretelling another scorcher.

No longer just a heat wave - this summer has officially graduated to solar tsunami status.

First felon. Security breach; damning evidence.

Not to worry, he didn't get far. Yeti can't help but meow when he hears my voice calling to him. The fortress has been properly reinforced, and security has tightened significantly.

Is it summer without some selfies?

The sister code transcends the species.

An earnest focus on what's ahead.

Can't stop. Won't stop. (Viva summer!)

Ignore those ads...summer's going strong.

Sure, people need supplies for school. 

Just not yet.

Thank you very much.
