Happy Sunday! We had some excitement last night, with an anti-deportation rally that became a street takeover. Haven't caught up on that news yet, but Stewart is here with a sock, and we're giving out ear scritches.😁

Good morning from Stewart and me. He's brought me my purse. This could mean he wants to go somewhere, but it's more likely that he's looking to trade for a snack. 🤔
Yes, he got the cookie. 😁

Good morning from Stewart and me! He just brought me his very heavy snuffle mat, in exchange for a bit of freeze-dried chicken breast. This is a variation of his favorite game, which we call the #socksforsnacksprogram. It started years ago, and you can see more photo examples on his Instagram.1/2
