Love all animals but dogs are my spirit animals, especially Aussies! Big fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes, Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Reds. Addicted to reading. Living the dream in Ohio. FotS.

It’s been months (literally) since my last bath but mom got me yesterday. This morning on the walk it’s all drizzly and misty. Mom should have waited until today and just added shampoo. Also, mom’s finger almost 2 months post injury.

Mom’s work city has had lots of rain over the last few days. This is their spillway (where water from lake runs off into a little river/creek). First pic is “normal” the rest is from the flooding rain. Last pic you can see the flooding it’s causing so far. More rain today 😬 Also a post about amts

I had a good friend (over on Twitter) have a portrait done of Willow. I don’t think neither he nor the artist is on here but I wanted to share how amazing it is. Our animal community (here or there) is just simply the best. We are so very lucky to have this extended family ♥️

Mom needed a new tumbler for her water at work. Zinny and Winny’s momma told us that Bourbon’s mom makes them. Mom just got it today. She loves it!! If anyone needs one, mom says reach out to Karalyn (we can get you that info if needed-she’s on X. Mom to Angel Nugget ).

A tale of our walk this morning in three shots! Mom figured out how she could give me treats with her left hand while holding leash in right (she has long fingers to reach in her pocket and then just drops my treats). Another fun walk!

Well mom did not have this on the bingo card for today. When it comes to hedge trimmer vs finger…hedge trimmer wins every time. Mom counted the stitches but couldn’t remember how many…6 or 9. Nurse said it looked pretty gnarly. 😬

“Rinse. Wash. Repeat.” 🤭 Happy woggling Saturday, friends! There’s three videos but mom didn’t want to bog down the post with two more videos that look almost the same. Wish we could post more than one video in a post at a time.

No walkies yesterday because of a picnic that happened right across from our house. I did my park walk this morning and found some cool military vehicles. Here’s that fountain again. One of these days I’m gonna jump back in it! Happy Sunday ☺️ Also happy Father’s Day to everyone!

Wednesday was my mom’s brother’s birthday. He has been gone for 9 years. She went out to feed the birds and while feeding she could hear a cardinal singing in the trees. She checked her camera app a bit later. Looks like he came to visit her ♥️ she was so happy!

Sad news to report pals. Something must have gotten the whole nest overnight. Mom went outside to wash the storm door and realized no bird was squawking so she tipped toed over to look and everything was gone. The unfortunate part of Mother Nature.

At least we know now why there’s a Robin that keeps a squawking at mom when she walks out front to feed the hummers and other birds. Momma bird flew away when mom walked on the porch so mom snuck over a tad bit and zoomed in with her phone. Look what she found!

A little American Robins nest nestled in a burning bush shrub with at least two little beaks peaking out waiting for food.
