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.

To put a Hawaiian shirt on a chihuahua (God…WHY?!) Listen, my friend; I'm not gonna lie. If it doesn't work, don't be ashamed. We're talking chihuahua here. You can't be blamed. Get the shirt, cross yourself, then prepare to die #vss365 #limerick #dogs 🐾 Tutorial: youtube.com/shorts/7L2gW...

I can't see it in your face. You look much too cute. But you're a wiener dog. You little shit are really shrewd and know exactly what to do to make me leave all my snacks to you. If in doubt, just bark. Or howl. Never be mute! #vss365 #linerick #dogs 🐾 🌭

Nope. For some reason, my dogs never panicked during mani and pedi. Also, I suspect the peanut butter would have been gone before I even began clipping, LOL. But I heard from other dog owners that it works really well.

To clip your dog's nails drama-free, try the cling- wrap-and-peanut-butter-on-your-head thing. While the scary tongues are clicking Your dog's just distractedly licking. You'll become the mani/pedi king #vss365 #limerick #dogs youtube.com/shorts/sTFvf...

Stray dog passing by: "Sir, I beg your pardon. I need to poop and would like to use your garden.". Adding friendly-faced, "May I come and do the deed?" Resident human: "By no means. Not even on the weed." Threateningly, the stray dog's face began to harden. vss365 #lomerick #dogs

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 🚀 🐾

There was an egg in the kitchen, hard-boiled. For hours, our pug struggled and #toiled stealing it. Though we were not okay with this, he managed to lick it, so the egg was finally his. The heist could not be foiled. Our pug was much too spoiled. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

Paul, the husky, sings. Often and extremely loud. His favorite song? I think it's "Twist and Shout". And shout and twist he does, if you get my drift. He's rather vocally challenged and has the musical gift of an unpopular veg, like, an overcooked Brussels #sprout. #vss265 #limerick #dogs 🐾

Pitbull lady Luna had a pretty dog smile. Also, she smelled vaguely willing and very #fertile. Poodle boy Bob flirted with her all summer. But she ignored all his advances. Bummer! She was vaguely repelled by Bob's very hairstyle. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 🐾

There’s a dog, named Buddy, whose humans went to leave
 and go partying on New Year’s Eve.
 So I got a dogsittinng job over night.
 On very short notice, but it was pure delight

Do dogs #dream? Oh yeah! They do. Of course!
 My dog wags, & he moves his legs when he snores. 
 I never know, is he hunting bunnies, like it is his habit? Or is he the hunted one, running from the big bad rabbit? Anyway, dogs dream wildly, yelping , yipping, shaking paws. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

A royal poodle knew how to #jump and dance with great sense of pomp

 worth immortalizing in limericks.
 But grace him with a treat, and he’ll most ungracefully chomp. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

The neighbor’s dog, Cindy, was willing to elope
 with my dog, #Saturn, who after all then said, „Nope!“
 Of course, he had promised her Saturn’s ring,

When life is rough & everything seems 2 crumble, there is 1 thing I never ever doubt- it makes me feel #humble; the unconditional love & sincerity of my pup –
of ANY pup really – it always lifts me up.
 No matter what, dogs celebrate life with U, always ready 2 rumble. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

I cared for many dogs in my life, some small,
 some big, and as far as I can #recall,
 most of them were rejects, too sick or too old, and had opted out, not knowing anymore how to dog. I adopted 
 those anyway. They were wonderful and loved me most of all. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

1 day I came home 2 growling & nagging
 instead of joy. The situation was hostile & seriously lagging any joy. As if my dog had lost all #memory of ever bidding
 me a happy welcome. Suddenly the pup barked, „ Just kidding!“ Giggles followed, plus the usual dancing & wagging. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

My neighbor’s frenchie liked to pretend that he
 was a Parisian lap dog in the 19th century.
 Helped himself to snacks. But on whose say-so?
 The pooch had no regrets, just claimed it was the #boho
 way of life, and that treats always were complimentary. #vss365 #limericks #dogs

Because of my disability I won’t
 be able to care for another dog ever, so I don’t.
 I cannot leave the house anymore autonomously.
 But hadn’t known how #monotonous it'd be
 without a dog. A fate I, for the dogs’ sake, mutely condoned. #vss365 #limerick #dogs

Since I was a kid, I was reaching for at least a fraction
 of happiness in my life, of satisfaction.
 Then I felt it finally reached its #apogee
