Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 16/08/2026My 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. 220
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 15/08/2026So I will have to do the last one of my 99 dog limericks tomorrow without a prompt from my fave prompt host eva. Boohoo... 😩 But thank you for luring me back into the vss fold. 😍 110

Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I 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 🐾 🌭 2112
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Nope. 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. 010
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 13/08/2026To 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.

Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Stray 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 362
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The 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 🚀 🐾 162
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 11/08/2026In six days, my 99 dog limericks will be complete. 😆 Keep the good prompts coming. 👏 111
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 10/08/2026There 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 1165
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 09/08/2026The Good Boy My beloved puppy, there's no disguising it. Your telltale look shows a powerful urge in you rising to steal the cake from the kitchen shelf. Poor thing, how can you even control yourself? But you do, good boy! Even without me supervising. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 0131
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I would prefer the bad veggies to an actual husky singing. Warning! Husky choir!!! Try to find out which one is Paul: (Mind your volume.... danger of ears bleeding.🤪) youtube.com/shorts/h1e5q...youtube.comIt’s Farken Friday 🗣️🎶🎶 #funnydogvideos #huskylovers #howling #funnyanimalsYouTube video by Tikanni Kita 🌈 Tehya Kaito 120
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Paul, 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 🐾 131
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Pitbull 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 🐾 181
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 06/08/2026😍 My friend Beth is the current promptmaster, so I felt compelled 😎 110
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I once dog-sat two dachshunds. It was #chaos. One was extremely < sassy and told me, "Hey, boss! I'm Willy, this here is Dave. If you want us to behave You better have treats to pay us." #vss365 #limericks #dogs 🐾 172
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 01/01/2026There’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 for us both. No separation anxiety, no fireworks panic, no grief. #vss365 #limerick #dogs Happy New Year! 1171
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Do 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 1212
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Looking back at my life like it was a travelogue, telling stories of restless journeys from dog to dog, about soul mates and #travel companons I will miss forever. What? No! I just chopped, uhm… onions. Or something. I'm NOT crying, ok? YOU are! You are one to talk! #vss365 #limerick #dogs 1102
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 23/12/2025A royal poodle knew how to #jump and dance with great sense of pomp and circumstance. He performed most graceful tricks worth immortalizing in limericks. But grace him with a treat, and he’ll most ungracefully chomp. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 0142
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 23/12/2025The 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, LOL, meaning it to be some paw-sized bling-bling. oh well, until I let him look at it through a telescope. #xss365 I meant: #vss365 #limerick #dogs 051

Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 20/12/2025I see. Now for my little and #humble encephalon, most of the times there's just a jumble of curious memories, because Brain Fog, due to chronic illness. I wish I had an assistance dog to help with my sanity, so I don't mentally fumble. 010
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 20/12/2025American Football just recently became somewhat popular as a sport in Germany. Sometimes I enjoy NFL sport shows on TV, now that I finally understand the rules. LOL 010
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 20/12/2025When 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 171
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 18/12/2025The greatest moment our Maker had during creation, was a fluke, I bet. While aiming at adding just more small cogs in the big wheel, he accidentally made DOGS, the most perfect beings ever. No #regret! #vss365 #limerick #dogs 0152
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I 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 1141
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 16/12/20251 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 1153
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Thought of my vss365 limerick from 3 mos ago Prompt then: #final. Sad now. Trufax: A hilarious movie, THIS IS SPINAL TAP, from a time when we only had music on vinyl. About a rockband who constantly did commit self-sabotage. Not seen it? PLS do! Silliest, dead-on music biz film eva & that's #final! 020
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 15/12/2025My 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 0101
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Because 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 261
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Since 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 when I took in the first resue pup to live with me, triggering a „serial dog rescuer“-chain reaction. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 1101
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 12/12/2025🐾 They always are. That's dachshunds for you. The little shits, haha! 000
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 12/12/2025My first dog, Mexx, a giant schnautzer, never shied away from a challenge or any fight with other dogs, though never being the aggressor. A different story was pooch Bobo, his #successor: All cocky but coward. All bark but no bite. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 1141
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Their bed time story. My dogs wouldn’t miss it. Most of all they loved the #illicit tales about taking the couch with muddy feet, or, not doing the trick but taking the treat. They loved the stories to be most explicit. #vss365 #limerick #dogs 0112
Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Agreeing to this like a crazy motherf'cker. Soooo much! This! This! This! 👏 👏 👏 110

Betti Gefecht @bettigefecht.bsky.social · 10/12/2025At 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 1151
