It’s very much like InNOut. It tastes different (better) in its home state. TX, it’s delicious. Outside TX? Still good, but not the same at all.

The tradition continues….0300 Whataburger at #TFF2026

One tired dog/bou after a whirlwind short night of dealer loadin…back at it at 0800 tomorrow. Booze. Now. And yeah, make it a double. #SloshedShep #TFF2026 #RoadTripShep

….well, that’s a first. In all my travels, this is the first time I’ve seen *these* items locked up?!? #TFF2026 #RoadTripShep

Lunch fibsh with @thescubapup.bsky.social and @razorthewolffox.bsky.social… now to take it easy before dealers loadin at 1800. 🤪 #TFF2026 #RoadTripShep #SatedSheppy

A nice quiet morning in the club lounge at #TFF2026 with @thescubapup.bsky.social before all the insanity ensues.

So relaxing and calm while we wait for @razorthewolffox.bsky.social to land at DAL and make his way over.

…(plus it’s nice to get something out of all that travel. 🤪)

#RoadTripShep

Yup. Self inflicted.

To be clear...'let off the leash' in this context was me walking out of the Carl's Jr. in Bennett to find him already in the driver's seat..... 🤪

Artsy shot driving across Kansas towards #TFF2026 with @thescubapup.bsky.social #RoadTripShep

I love the fact these stickers are all still here…I don’t remember when they first went up, but I know it’s at least 2 years ago. @thatdieselcat.bsky.social @rorykfox.bsky.social #TFF2026 #RoadTripShep

Colorado is such a spellbinding place…. 💙 #TFF2026 #RoadTripShep

Don't apologize, friend. You've been through hell and back, it's OK to be raw and let emotions out. Anyone who tells you otherwise can take a long leap off a short pier. You're getting the biggest hug at TFF...just come find me in the den. 💙💙💙

But with more hoof to backside. 🐴

*back kick off pool deck* * SPLASH!*

*kicks into pool* Low impact workout go! :P

Yeah, I was bad and stocked up on a couple new treats. Oops. #SmokeShep

Woof. Yeah, I’m a dog. I DGAF what people think. Deal with it. 🐶 #RoadTripShep

It’s hilarious watching people who clearly have never smoked a cigar in their life. This guy on the other side of the bar from me has relit his stick at least 10 times in the last 45min. And I’m still just puffing away on my initial light…. #SkillIssue #SmokeShep #RoadTripShep

….well, I timed that wrong….a concert just dumped as I walked up….drunks EVERYWHERE. At least I found a quiet corner of the bar to hide in. 🤪 #SmokeShep #RoadTripShep

Now off to the Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesar’s Palace for a nice smoke to relax after an incredible culinary delight. 🤪 #RoadTripShep #SatedSheppy #SmokeShep
