Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Teddy Cat came home for a weekend foster 12+ years ago. Decided he liked it. Stayed. No one in the household got a vote. 010
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Awesome update as always and you’ve never been to the Maritimes? You’ll love them! If you swing all through Chicago you can cuddle our big guy as a stopgap… 020
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It feels like 103 out here. Guess who wants to hang out in the sun? With that heavy black coat he heats up like he’s in a griddle yet somehow doesn’t care. 020
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Stay cool, work smart, hydrate and watch out for your pets and local animals. Let’s all be careful out there. 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Bunsen ready for his interview… he’s applying for Chief Cuddle Officer. 120
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Bunsen is ready if you hear of any other openings when you get to DC. He knows it’s important to dress for the job you want. Hoping for Chief Cuddle Officer. 110

Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Bunsen is a 110-pound lapdog but needs to step his game up… Our buddy has a Great Pyrenees (Bunsen’s best friend) who is around 150 pounds. And llllooovves to cuddle. 0140
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Don’t have a horse but that is almost exactly our Teddy Cat. 010
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 13/04/2026The face of a Pope who knows how to handle business. 110
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 07/04/2026He’s a good Chicago lad and seems to have a solid sense of how things stand. Plus? Forgive me, your Holiness, but would…. 001
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 04/04/2026if you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using, with no explanation. 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Well fuckity ding dong. You need a fun weekend (week… month… whatever… year… ) in Chicago come on by - we have an extra room and endless snacks, plus Berner cuddles on demand. 100
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Mostly. Bunsen does like St Patrick’s Day, though. Erin go Bark! (Note: you can tell this is not a photo from this year because my backyard is a frozen, snow-covered wasteland right now. 110
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 10/03/2026@seananmcguire.bsky.social zoo day and the spiny-tailed monitor says ‘hiya!’ Also: ‘…and Juliet’ is coming to Chicago. If you come in you (and @infamousfiddler.bsky.social ) are very welcome to stay with us. You will be cuddled on by a large dog who thinks he’s a small dog. 170
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Bunsen knows it’s important to dress for the job you want; he has heard there is an opening for Chief Cuddle Officer…. Hopes you review his resume. 191
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Then there’s the ‘fling yourself off the porch into the snow’ approach to canines. One of my fave bits from when Bunsen was a puppy and we still had Lilly. 110
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 19/02/2026This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 12/02/2026I try to keep a nice bouquet on tap for us, though it has taken time to establish detente with the cats. 010
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 28/01/2026The big guy got a dental today and is still so very, very stoned… 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 24/01/2026It is -9 (f) here in Chicago and thus big goofball couldn’t be happier. 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 23/01/2026*waves from Chicago* It was -10 this morning and this big goofball couldn’t have been happier. 020
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 22/01/2026🙄 yes it’s cold, but it’s an island, influenced by the water surrounding it. Inland is where things get chilly. Here’s the next few days in Chicago, in Fahrenheit, without the wind chill. I’m still going to end up standing on the back deck in my bathrobe yelling at the dog to come back in… 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Also: Teddy Cat was supposedly ‘feral’; caught in a trap, terrified, taken to our vet. After his neuter when they realized just what a sweetie he was they talked us into taking him home for a weekend ‘play date’ with Gwen Kitty. That was 10 years ago. 020
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 09/01/20261) For every day 2) For when I’m feeling fancy. Michigan(ish) 000
Riley 🍂🍁🍎🥧 @rileysdtr.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Ted says trolling the dog is fun! Taking over Bunsen’s bed is one thing, but claiming his squeaky turtle is another level. 010
