My 99th dog vss No prompt In 2023, Tim Shaddock, an Australian fella, took a sailboat and his dog. Got into a hellu- va storm. No radio, no food, no chance. 3 months later, he was found adrift in the Pacific, by coincidence. He had survived on rainwater, raw fish, and the love of his dog, Bella.

The year 1059, Laika in outer space. No retrieval. How could they? The mere thought causes great upheaval. in my gut. Thinking of the sweet pup, I want to hurl to this day, just imagining the poor girl. For me, it was and will always be an act of pure evil. #vss365 #DogLimerick #HistoricalDog 🚀 🐾

At the shelter to donate food or toys, my fingers itched to adopt. The old dogs, the unwanted. As if bewitched,
 I never could resist
 those seniors, well, you get the gist.
 All the loyal souls who couldn’t fathom why they’d been ditched. #vss365 #Limerick #dogs

My chihuahua didn’t see the futility
 of performing an entire symphony
 all by himself each time I left
 the house without him. He felt bereft,
 I know. But loud laments were useless, just a #soliloquy. #vss365 #limerick #dogs See Snappy, the clingy pup in question :

Look at my granddog, the little dandy
 and his cute bowtie that came in handy
 when, resting on a small pillow’s bedding,
 was the ring he carried at his humans’ wedding.
 Being #chic, even overdressed, was his modus operandi. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

I raised a little crow, and when it was time to set her free,
 she stayed with me, willingly, not in captivity.
 I feared for her because of my other pets
 sleeping in the house as well, dogs and cats.
 But they were protective and sweet, the epitome of #chivalry. #vss365 #limerick #pets

The depth of a dog’s #aphotic
 gullet is beyond me. It’s a chaotic
 Bermuda Triangle for all kinds of food:
 If I leave some on the table? It will be gone for good.
 Just part of our relationship, so lovingly symbiotic. #vss365 #limerick #dogs My bestest boys (great gullet capacity):

Carpet-cuddling a BIG dog, full of love,
 be aware of sloppy, sudden kisses from above.
 My giant schnauzer, Mexx, was awe- inspiring, just raising his ginormous paw
 to give high fives. So #suave! #vss365 #limerick #dogs

I adopted a senior dog, gray, deaf, half-blind, with a sad past.
 So he could have a home & feel loved at #last.
 The 13-year-old learned a lot, like ASL & fetching sticks.
 Yes, old dogs *CAN* be taught new tricks!
 His final years, the lil affenpinscher had a blast… #vss365 #limerick #dogs

MY GOOD BOYS My good boys Bobo – a mix of different setters – and Snappy – a chihuahua – were love bugs, not attackers. Not even the same breed, but brothers from totally different mothers. Not really family. So what? As if that even #mätters #yss365 #limerick #dogs Bobo & Snappy:

My own chihuahua was a natural alert dog, not even trained. The little minion would growl (gremlin mode) & scratch at night, til I woke & ate something (sharing a little treat). 1st I thought that was the reason. But he never did it when my levels weren't low. My brothers from different mothers:

Chronic illness can befall you in stealth
 mode first, then it’ll get worse and worse with your #health.
 A chihuahua is not much of an assistance dog, but still sort
 of perfect for emotional support.
 A chihuahua brings love and happiness, the greatest kind of wealth. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

My cat, Bella, always liked 2 B single
 but my dogs liked 2 B social & wanted 2 mingle.
 Bella took up their #language, barks & whining.
 She spoke Human & Birdish, chirped with impeccable timing.
 She found out the perks of being multi-lingual. #vss365 #Limerick My dogs U've met. Time 4 the cat.

To write his personal #history,
 Mexx, my dog used to carefully piss, uh, pee
 one chapter on the same tree, every day,
 perpetuating his diary in a merry way,
 for other pups to be entertained olfactorily. #vss365 #Limerick

Pip, the Chihuahua, in my bed? Doesn’t even make me flinch. But… when I try to move him, Pip wouldn't give an inch.
 The mini pup can make himself heavy as a Great Dane
 or a St Bernard. WTF? How…? It hurts my brain.
 Each night we wrestle for space, ending up in a loving clinch. #vss365 #Limerick

Sam (you know, another rescue puppy) really loved to dress.
 Puppy coats, fluffy boots, the works… always looked a mess.
 He was relentless, and took him a while. At last though, Sammy got some #style. Cute and fashionable and effortless! #vss365 #limerick

Max was adopted from the shelter. His tongue was extencile, drooly & floppy, with great #potential to give puppy kisses galore, After 3 days already (or 1 day more, at the max), the love in the air around Max proved pestilencial #vss365 #limerick photo credit: Guinness World Records Limited 2025.
Happy dog with  very long tounge

On CSD, I was strutting my #rainbow stuff, wondering if it's just a vain show on my behalf, to be part of the fun rally, to say, "Look at me being cute, I'm an ally!" Louis/a, my drag king friend, complained all day about his too tight boob bandeau. #vss365 #DailyLimerick

I dare to say, they were my biggest wealth, the keepers of my happiness & my mental health, were my goats, Lucy & #Brownie, & my dog Bobo. The day my husband died & I was already down, he & the goats were gone. Animal Control took them by stealth. #vss365 #DailyLimerick #TrueStory

I once saw an #angel while being on a walk. I once saw an #angel emerging from the fog. I know #angels exist because we constantly meet. In peoples' houses, in the park, even in the street. You know what #angels smell like in the rain? Wet dog! #vss365 #DailyLimerick My #angels, recharging:

In the zoo, the mercat knew how to #charm me, with its cute face, wäving with one arm. The giraffe, fishing for compliments, said, "What the heck? What about my long lashes, my elegant neck?" I told them both they're awesome. It couldn't do any harm. #vss365 #DailyLimerick See me compliment them:

Farm animals & pets played soccer. The crowd cried "Foul!" The umpire was a pug who with a #scowl brandished the yellow card & punished the foal. The game went on. The crowd roared "Goal!" She got in with a wild card. Now she had scored: The owl. #vss365 #DailyLimerick Owls do have SOCCER LEGS ⚽ 🦉

Look @ my #rook! No con, no piece from chess. A bird! Latin: corvus frugileus. A #rook nontheless.
 Funny & feisty. Found her as a baby.
 Raised her, so she loved me. I think maybe 
 she really loved acting in my music clip in her playfulness. See: youtu.be/bjH3AgZjlLo?... #vss365 #DailyLimerick
