Ha! My Kenzi is the opposite - she either looks away or has an put-out expression, like, "Mama, why do you keep pointing that thing at me?!?"

A very cute boot! Here's Kenzi's nubbin'. Sometime I miss a tail joyfully whacking everything in sight, but it's an awfully adorable backside.

Oh, wow, he looks a lot like my Kenzi! Does he have a tail? Because Kenzi was born with tiniest lil' nubbin'.

Since there's still thirty minutes left in National Dog Day, here is Kenzi's sweet face to cleanse the heaviness of the last few days. Kenzi is rooting for us to be kind and supportive to each other and to put everything into doing what we love.❤️

Just saw the official portraits of SC Gov. Henry McMaster and his wife on FB, and I’m cackling! Why do their faces look the same? Henry’s doesn’t even look like him! I had to google her, and it's a closer match, but still! And why are they missing fingers - were the portraits made with AI? 😆😂🤣

Screenshot of a FB post with truly baffling portraits - they look like the approximations of humans that AI spit out when it first started making videos. The words say: "Gov. Henry McMaster and First Lady Peggy McMaster unveiled their official portraits Friday at the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion."

I feel like @darthbluesky.bsky.social should see the pics from Kenzi's 4th birthday in the above post, but he *definitely* needs to see this screenshot my sister caught during Kenzi's zoom celebration.

Jocelyn Rish @jocelynrish.com · 06/08/2026

🥳🎉Happy birthday to Kenzi! Yesterday was her 4th birthday & we spoiled her rotten! Her uncle and cousin came to help celebrate, so there was much romping which I'm sure was her favorite part. She also got fun new toys, a cozy blankie, doggie pumpkin cupcakes, and cheese & peanut putter ice cream.❤️

Here are some closer pics of just the dragons from several angles to show just how gorgeously colorful they all are.❤️🐉 I'm basically Jeremy the crow from "The Secret of NIMH," so I can't stop staring at all the sparklies just totally enthralled.
