Submitted Hiccup’s photos to 15/10. Got her rating. 12/10. Would Smooch. LOL! #Dogs #DogsOfBluesky #WeRateDogs

Our chihuahua Hiccup sitting on a much too large fog pillow. Her rating from 15/10 website lists her as 12/10 - Would Smooch.

Say hello to Asuna, my teen’s new pet. Asuna is a pineapple conure. Today was the first time I was allowed to spend time with her. She likes me. The teen was slightly irritated that Asuna did not try to bite me, and wanted to keep visiting with me. #BirdsOfBluesky #Conure #Birds #Menagerie

It’s a small gesture but 100% of proceeds from the sale of these doughnuts go towards Indigenous charities. I’m doing what I can. #OrangeShirtDay #TruthAndReconcilliation #ResidentialSchools #Trauma

I was cutting up onions and putting them on one half of my burger. I was just about to flip the other half onto it when I noticed that it looked like a goofy face. Ahahahahaaaaa! 👍🏻

A split hamburger sitting on a plate. The bottom half has ketchup on it. The top half has raw onions on it. The two together look like a silly face either way and big red mouth.

The kiddo took it upon himself to make us Big Mac in a Bowl for supper. He insisted that I asked him to make it. When pressed I discovered that I had mentioned the dish to him a couple of weeks ago. Love my neurodivergent kiddo. ♥️♥️ #cooking #food #neurodivergent #teen

My pharmacy sent me a message asking me to rate my experience from 1 to 5. When I gave them a score of 2, it refused to accept my answer. Please open the image to see how it started. Now I want to give it a 1 out of 5. 😐🖕🏻😐

A screenshot of the text exchange with my pharmacy’s AI bot. It refused to accept my rating of 2 out of 5. It said it didn’t recognize my answer and to refer to the previous message. AI is really not intelligent.

In a previous post I said that our grey cat Jett has orange cat energy. Here is a painting my kiddo did of Jett. In orange. Ahahahahaaaaa! #caturday #catsofbluesky #orangecatenergy

A painting of our grey cat Jett. My teen painted him as an orange cat because that’s the energy he gives off.

This is Jett totally judging me for not feeding him RIGHT GD NOW. It was an hour until supper time. He is our grey cat with orange cat energy. LOL! (Please don’t tell him that I posted this. He wouldn’t like it.) #caturday #catsofbluesky

My wee Hiccup snuggled under my blanket like it’s hers. She’s so cute that I can’t even tell her she’s wrong. #doggo #dogsofbluesky #Hiccup

A small dog lying on her side, ears up, covered by a gorgeous purple blanket that totally is not hers. She looks to cute to be disavowed of her belief, even though her Gmama is cold and wants her blanket back.

Had a CT scan today. Early weekend morning at the General Hospital was surprisingly quiet. Rei and I were in and out in less than forty-five minutes. I cried from the pain of lying down in the scanner but it was quick and painless in and of itself. #spinalstenosis perhaps?

I’m velveting beef for the first time ever. It’s going into a beef vegetable soup. I blame The Woks of Life (thewoksoflife.com ) for this. It’s going to be delicious!

Best thing I heard on television today: “He thinks Mr. Gates wants to steal his penis” I cried laughing. Don’t get me wrong. I had a sister with schizophrenia. It’s a cruel disease. But it has its funny moments. *cue the Law & Order sound* 💀💀💀

We have two cats. They are a month apart in age, both two years old. They eat the same food, same serving size. Our black cat is normal size but our grey cat is somehow obese. I don’t know why and it’s upsetting.

I love living in a country that celebrates things by making glow-in-the-dark coins. These are real currency. Fifty years since we built the CN Tower. Ohhh Canada! ♥️🇨🇦♥️

Ordering groceries on Door Dash. Dasher sends me an image of alternate selections. I see a half ham next to the turkey on sale for $10. I add it to the order. Nope. It’s $17 😐 Price gouging the disabled is bad form. 🖕🏻🤬 🥺 #DisabledShopping #PriceGouging #Canada

Jett is busy being a jerk, which is one of his favourite things to do. The lump under the blanket is Hiccup, our wee doggo. She’s trying to nap. He’s trying to pester her.

She loves me. Oh, I am the Number Two Human, but I know Hiccup feels safe with me. I love her, too. She has been a great comfort as I go through this cancer journey.

A small dog wearing a red collar and pink and white striped harness is leaning back, looking up at her kid (not in picture) with all the love and trust in her heart. We are celebrating her Gotcha Day. Her name is Hiccup Consuela the Fortunate One da Jelly Belly. We love her.

We suspect that Hiccup found herself some alcohol, despite there being no alcohol in the house. She had a very Happy New Year. #Hiccup #DogsofBluesky #Dogs

two side by side photos of Hiccup, our small dark coloured dog. In both she has on a Happy New Year headband. In both she looks drunk, but happy. Apparently she is a party animal. Yes, I said it. The post mentions that there was no alcohol in the house, so she must have snuck some in somehow.

Here is Hiccup in full Cocaine Dog mode. She likes to murder her stuffies, and here she was wanting to make short work of her newest gift. Yes, she is dangling in the air. #Hiccup #DogsofBluesky #Dogs

Picture shows a stuffed grey bear toy, with a small dark coloured dog hanging from its crotch, jaws firmly clenched in a death grip. This is but one reason one of the reasons one of her nicknames is Cocaine Dog. She is little but crazy. Cute, though.

Sarah 🇨🇦 @quicksmiling.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

When Hiccup looks up at me like this, I would give her the world. She is so little and loving.❤️ You would never guess that one of her nicknames is Cocaine Dog. #Hiccup #DogsofBluesky #Dogs

Hiccup, a small dark coloured do, is looking up at her human with big brown eyes, her small white-tipped from paws resting in front of her. Hiccup is the sweetest Canadian bitch.

Here is Hiccup, excitedly checking her Pup Patty from A&W! It's a lovely unseasoned beef burger, and during the summer, some of the proceeds were donated to charities that support service dogs! The world needs more of this. #Hiccup #DogsOfBluesky #AandW

Hiccup, a small dark coloured dog is shown standing on a passenger in a vehicle. Her small nose is inside of a burger wrapper. The wrapper has a sticker on it that says A&W Pup Patty. Hiccup loves these burgers.

Any time the vehicle stops, Hiccup must climb on me to secure what she believes to be the BEST spot to sit. She’s little but isn’t happy unless she is blocking me from seeing ANYthing. #Hiccup #Dogs

Here sits Hiccup. She’s a small dark coloured doggo, a chihuahua and papillon mixed breed. She is sitting on her human’s chest and arm in the driver’s seat of a vehicle, staring at the camera as though she is the queen of the world! Her head is a couple of centimetres from the roof. Her face says she belongs there because she’s a tough Canadian bitch. But she doesn’t want you to set her down in the snow outside because that’s too cold.

Here is the first & second parts of the kiddo’s art assignment that I call “A Study in Hiccups”. LOL! The bottom left image is art pencil drawing of last year’s photo with Santa. #Hiccup #Dogs #Art

Four images of the same small dark coloured dog. Her name is Hiccup. Top right is a photo of her lying on her side looking at the camera. Bottom right is an oil pastel version of the photo. Top left is a photo from 2023 taken with Santa. You can only see Santa’s gloved hands. He’s holding Hiccup, who is staring at the camera, very alert, ears perked up. Those ears are the papillon beeed showing through.

My kiddo loves Hiccup. My kiddo is also an artist. They have an art assignment where they have to use 3 diff mediums of a subject. They chose Hiccup. This is oil pastel. Photo for reference. #Hiccup #Dogs #Art

I don't know HOW the kiddo gets her to make these faces. Perhaps it is a game they play. Regardless, even the cutest doggos can look amazingly goofy. On the plus side, Hiccup DOES have super nice teeth! #Hiccup #Dogs

A girl in a tie dyed shirt is holding a little dark coloured dog up for the camera. The little doggo's eyes are half closed and it's lower teeth only are shown. She kinda looks like a wee stoner, but we know she has no access to edibles. My kiddo's idea of funny. Sadly, it makes me laugh.

You may be wondering what Hiccup is looking at so intently. She’s hoping that the gas attendant sticks his hand in the window. Bite? Lick? It’s anyone’s guess. (She will sniff it and maybe lick it, after channeling her inner chihuahua and barking violently.) #Hiccup #Dogs

A little brown and black doggo is sitting in a car gazing off to the left. She’s staring at the young fella getting ready to put gas in the car, and she’s suspiciously eyeing him. She has ridiculous Christmas wear on but it’s bunched around her neck so it really just looks like a seasonal neck wrap. Her name is Hiccup and she’s a wonderful Canadian bitch.

We had to go out in the -15C weather today. Hiccup wore her tough girl bunnyhug. #Hiccup #Dogs #Bunnyhug

Hiccup has spent her entire two years on the planet loving a human who takes this kind of picture and texting them to me. We do not deserve dogs. #Hiccup #Dogs

Sadly, I am horribly aware of the cruel, the hateful, and callous in the world these days. But I have my kiddo and I have my wee doggo. Both weird, each wonderful. It’s enough to keep the monsters at bay.
