States are being forced to cut food assistance and Medicaid by the federal government, which is always writing blank checks for more war. Families need food and healthcare, not bombs sent overseas.

This is how my neighbor’s golden retriever trained me to play fetch with him. To be fair, I was also playing fetch with one of my dogs, so the more the merrier.

Tytus has 32 square feet of lush enclosure to burrow in, but he chooses this barren corner with his little wood hide. I love that for him. ❤️🐢

It’s always nice to have gardening help—the cavapoo is digging holes where I already weeded and the mini goldendoodle is insisting we play fetch to keep my multitasking skills sharp.

Kobie is diligently helping BFF Sarah dig out space for a second outdoor tortoise enclosure for Tilly. It will be 1/2 as big as Tytus’s and then we’ll add on when she’s bigger. She won’t have access to the entire 4’ x 4’ space yet so we’ll use part of it as a raised garden for the tortoise food.

She’s savage. My adult Russian tortoise ate his in three bites.

Here’s a cute video of my baby tortoise coming to me when I take my fingers. It won’t heal the world, but maybe it’ll make you smile.

Happy Easter! Who knew a Peeps spinner from my Easter basket could spark such puppy joy? Featuring Jovie, but mostly her BFF Scout the cockapoo! Sound on for happy puppy barks!

Tortoise aren’t all that slow.

Here she comes! You can hear Arrow chirping in the background. It’s a two-for-one pet video.
