Very real tulips (‘26) next to a knock-off Arabesque lamp (‘04), a stuffed cat from the gift shop at Middlebury College (‘93) and one of my photos of fishing boats on the shore of Alexandria, Egypt. (‘94) Temp and humidity gauge trying to keep up with Wisconsin’s lightning fast weather changes.

Left to right: Coach Mac (coonhound from Georgia), Trigger (security dog), Zack the Squatter Cat and Fanny all sunbathing indoors while a cold leftover winter breeze blows outside.

Happy Monday from the #FannyPack! 🥰

Tulips from a client, pups and Zack sunbathing this morning. 🌷

Sassy cat with double balls—bells—sniffs tulips while low-key posing for an overdue skeet

Happy #Caturday from Zack, captured here investigating some lovely tulips a client gifted us. 🥰

Small round brown hound enjoying some canned delicacies at True Vet here in Verona, Wisconsin. I’ve been going to them since a client recommended them 8 years ago? They are a fantastic, all female team and I cannot endorse them strongly enough for your dogs OR cats.

Yeah, I’ll just finish this for you gals. Not a problem. Never too drunk to eat!

Fanny gave Trigger the sweater off her own back as soon as I brought him home from the vet. She then popped into her matching hoodie for moral support.

Trigger’s face on great pain meds. He was asking “what bus” hit him this morning and I DID see a very cool electric VW bus in the lot so maybe? 🤔

Trigger just had a bigly dental at True Veterinary Clinic in Verona, WI. He joined us last April. ~9yo.

8 🦷 extracted, only 2 of those incisors. He IS on pain meds but going to be sore for a while.

Let’s hear it for our little champion! 🥹

Life is fucking long and very little we do makes any difference at all so WALK your dogs at the local redneck feed store and carry the 💩 out with you. 😉

Two well-dressed Chihuahuas in an undisclosed location. Left, Deputy Chief Officer Timothy “Trigger” Dickens. Right, Miss Fanny Bear Dickens blinged out in pink fleece and studded collar. I would love nothing more than to feed a mashup of DJT, Rubio, Stephen Miller, Hegseth and RFK Jr to my dog pack if I didn’t think they would die instantly from the insurmountable toxicity. Just fun to imagine. 🧐 As you were. 😉

“NOTHING MATTERS!!!” As cheerfully observed by #Loki on the sacred timeline at Pompeii in 79AD.

He wasn’t wrong.

Thank God for distractions such as #TomHiddleston in any format.

THANK YOU, TOM! ☺️

I confess I surrendered 💯 and watched that ✈️ sit on a NY tarmac via Faux News while sharing burnt 🍿with my 🐶.

The Insane Clown Posse commentary from the Faux guests convinced me we had permanently flipped into the #UpsideDown.

Finally turned off Rubio’s #BestDayEver and went to bed.

🤮

Hey everybody! Let’s celebrate quietly, okay? No need to wake up the bears who forgot to put their phones on #flightmode!

Male Calico Tabby (yes?) wonders What WILL I do next?!?? Whip up a delightful meal for them, of course.

Wide-eyed #Caturday from Oscar the non-grumpy cat. He is Nancy-cat’s brother. They have an eagle-eye view from their penthouse apartment though they do not see all the squirrels that Zack the cat sees here at home. 😿

Gray and white long-haired cat on table next to much-loathed pet grooming tools.

Another meh #Caturday from Whisker, who is keen on advising me that NO ONE—certainly not her pawrent—asked me to comb out any mats!

Alas, she knows I cannot help myself. 😬

“GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!” 😾 ~ Nancy Cat

Happy #Caturday from an unhappy cat named “Nancy.” Not sure she’s upset we share a name or that her pawrents are out of town.

Probably a little bit of both. 😼

Happy #Caturday from two new clients this holiday season. Oscar is the tabby and #Nancy is the gray kitty!

Brown and cream-colored hound with expensive haircut and telling underbite looks on as Fanny hogs the human.

Here is your #dogpic of the week. Tilly always tells it like it is!! #Photobomb by #Fanny. 🤭

Majestic brown tabby with white face and paws watches squirrels from his bedroom cat tree. A sheer blue curtain adds just the right amount of color to his portrait. Very grateful to be blessed with an infinitely patient pawtner. I was NOT easy for him to train! Never stop learning! 🥰

Happy #Caturday from Zack! 2 1/2 years after moving in, he owns our 🏡 & #Catio & #CatTrees & me & more!

Still plenty of pups here for him to playfully smack! 💥

Our First Farcical Felon should be grounded in the rubble of the east wing while they build the ballroom over his micro-balls. 😡

Coach Mac is the cinnamon-colored pittie-coonhound mix front and center. Trigger, Fanny and Izzy on the podium (refusing to smile bc someone forgot treats) with a side of Tilly the Shih Tzu, who is an independent lady who does not stoop to cheap tricks—especially sans treats! We are warm and dry inside the lovingly refurbished dairy barn at Dairy Ridge Dog Run.

Izzy on her favorite non-obstacle at the barn. The see-saw!! No treats required but always appreciated! White and tan poodle mix in one of Fanny’s spicier dresses sitting on a green canine teeter-totter.

Head tilts from Fanny & Mac alongside a chortle from Izzy (left) as we paws alongside the ball pit at Dairy Ridge Dog Run.

All dogs are free to raid our ridiculously substantial wardrobe (or NOT!) before heading out to the park. 😅

And how do YOU know my ex-husband? 🧐

I feel you, but why are you talking into the world’s biggest TicTac? 🤔

Just a second, mom, says my two pups as they prep themselves for a pretty pose. Gotta get those whiskers in place! Two chihuahua mixes, both tan and white, wearing fierce studded collars and black and maroon hoodies give their faces a quick swipe as they prepare for their routine pose on a big pink wooden box which bears the stamp of Dairy Ridge Dog Run. We are playing in the private dog barn as chilly wind and rain flies unchecked outside our warm and dry haven.

Ready for the picture, mom! Two chihuahua mixes, both tan and white, wearing fierce studded collars and black and maroon hoodies pose on a big pink wooden box which bears the stamp of Dairy Ridge Dog Run. We are playing in the private dog barn as chilly wind and rain flies unchecked outside our warm and dry haven.

Trigger, Mac and Fanny just before saying “CHEESE!” Three dogs on a pink wooden box that screams “Treats!” to them. (Not cheese. Dogs are lactose-intolerant. Save real cheese for hard-to-pill puppers.)

Okay SHOOT! 📸 Pyramid of precious pups pose on a pink pedestal.

Do you self-consciously fix your hair right before someone takes your picture? 📸

I see a similar behavior in my #furkids. Here’s two examples of “pre-pose” and “perfect pose.” 😋

Luna the tuxedo cat reclines in the movie room which has black walls, old movie posters and a red velvet couch. For some reason all the photos I took came out as black and white. One of my favorite parts of catsitting is seeing a pet lover’s Parade of Homes. This one is pretty cool 😎

Let’s pretend it’s #Caturday as that is when I captured this. Luna resides in a fascinating #filmnoir Victorian with 3 other cats and 2 humans who love a classic #horrormovie! 👻

Just for fun, I read #EdgarAllenPoe to the cats during my visits.

It was my own personal Halloween! 🎃

#ohmydog

Every dog here sends our deepest condolences to you all for your monumental loss. 😔

Tika and your family inspired millions with your love for each other, and this human honestly believes Tika made life better for all who knew her.

Thank you so much for sharing her with us. 😘❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

What dog lived a fuller life?! 💝

Our hearts are heavy with sadness having learned that Tika @tikatheiggy.bsky.social has crossed the 🌈 bridge to mingle with the history’s most beautiful fashionistas.🥺

Her family is beyond devastated, and we send all our love. 💕
