I figured I could also use today as a chance to focus on our pets and such...

New Dog Is New, Good Dogs Are Good
We adopted another furry guy today, because Smoky (foreground) needed a buddy to play with. Bandit -- see what we did there? -- is pretty much Smoky's chromatic opposite, but they are on the exact same page when it comes to playtime. I took this earlier, some many hours after their first meeting, and the … Continue reading New Dog Is New, Good Dogs Are Good
A Dog, His Guy, And Some Socks
Earlier today I was going back through the many, many (many) sock pictures from this past year -- for a surprise project! -- and I realized that over the course of the first three months of 2018, two things became very clear. The first is that my skill with taking and presenting pictures of the … Continue reading A Dog, His Guy, And Some Socks
Conundrums And Canine Accusations
Neither Smoky nor I really know what the pattern on this pair of socks is actually supposed to represent. With one look, it kinda seems to me like, I don't know, jigsaw pieces or something. But then with a second on the green parts remind me of Christmas trees. Since yesterday was tree day around … Continue reading Conundrums And Canine Accusations
A Few Pups Shy Of A Pack
Because I am perpetually a day late and a dollar short, I just today realized that yesterday was apparently National Dog Day. Now, before you start wagging any fingers at me for neglecting this poor dog, I'm going to be 100% honest with you: based on the attention-levels and treats consumed by Mr. Smoky, basically … Continue reading A Few Pups Shy Of A Pack
The Story Of A Man, His Patterns, And A Dog*
I feel like I've maybe but shown either my patterns or Smoky enough love these past few weeks, and today hit me as a good day to remedy both. Which is to say, I wore a geographic pattern today because I felt like it this morning, and Smoky decided to pose for a picture. I … Continue reading The Story Of A Man, His Patterns, And A Dog*
Love The Dog (And Socks) You’re With
There are two pet dogs in today's sock photo, and one of them is significantly more famous than the other. Smoky, however, was unfazed today by his relative ignominy. But seeing as he was the one actually getting to chase down toys and gnaw on them at my Snoopy-covered feet, I suppose his audacity can … Continue reading Love The Dog (And Socks) You’re With
Wading In For Scooby Snacks
July 9th is clearly, obviously the perfect date to fire off Cartoon Week. Why? Uh...for reasons. I swear. Hell, let's just say it's because back in my day, summer was a magical time of getting to watch cartoons multiple times a day. That's is, you got morning shows as long as you were in grade … Continue reading Wading In For Scooby Snacks
Constellations And Canine Considerations
The Puddinette and I sat out on the patio last night when it became inexplicably temperate for one glorious night, giving us a brief moment of respite from this year's July Hellscape. Being the nerds we are, of course, we broke out a sky view app on my phone, which identified for us all the … Continue reading Constellations And Canine Considerations
American Mutt, First In A Series
On the eve of the all-American holiday, I give you the all-American dog begging for attention between a pair of all-American socks. I'll warn you now, this could be a pattern over the next few days. Also, yes, of course he got said attention. š
