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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. 😄
Space Kitty And Kinetic Energies
Sometimes, when it’s hot, I don’t go out on the patio, until the cooler evening hours. I’m not sure waiting for it to be 84 at 11:30 PM qualifies as either evening or cooler, but here we are, with me in my astronaut cat socks, which I’ve been saving for just the right day. As […]
Man’s Best Friend
I haven’t had a chance to post today’s sock picture until now, which is amusing since it’s 1 AM. In other words, “today’s” socks are actually yesterday’s, but since I’m not asleep yet, it’s still today and not yet tomorrow as far as I’m concerned. Why the delay? Because my not-quite year-old lab puppy has […]
Monday Is Exhausting For Everyone
I was planning to write a post today about how these socks made me contemplate a world where The Joker picked up a former geometry teacher sidekick, and how appropriate that whole concept was for a Monday. But then Smoky tried to bring me a toy to play with and was too tired to even […]
I’m Not A Monster
I can always count on Smoky to make a day’s sock post kinda not really about the socks. But how could anyone look in those big puppy eyes and complain?
