We have a room set up for our 3 y.o. granddaughter. She has my wife in there and when I went in to ask her to join me in another room, she said, as the girl boss walks in, I can’t, the warden just showed up. #GirlBoss #GrandpaLife

Not to be a dog nerd, but Kayce is a Whippet, like my Sparky Boy. #dognerd #whippet #dogsofbluesky

Well. Several things happened on our hike today: 1. Spark is fond of moving geese. 2. Spark jumped into the Little Spokane River. 3. Sam learned Spark can (barely) swim. 4. Sam learned to NEVER let certain Whippets off leash around water and geese. #whippet #dogsofbluesky #MrNoodle

Thankfully, the days are getting longer! Can’t wait for warm weather and hikes like this from last summer.

So true! As a youngster, my birthday and Christmas lists always included 3-4 vinyl albums. What a thrill to open that thin, square shaped package, to reveal the next wax to be worn thin!

In honor of Toumani’s Teef sacrifice in tonight’s Blazer game, I give you my dog Spark’s cover on Teefs Magazine. This one’s for you, Tou. #RipCity #Toofmani

I saw this and remembered taking a shot from a different perspective right about the same time! Also black and white.

Sorry #MrNoodle, but months of peeing on your own front legs gets you a bath. #whippet #dogsofbluesky

Is the Whippet Ear Pop is the most endearing quality of the breed? Sticky Toofs?

Back in the day, my Mom would make these dolls with a dried apple for a head. That is just what he looks like. But the doll has a better handle on public health policy than he does.

WHY DOESN’T ANY REPORTER ASK A FOLLOW UP TO BS LIKE THIS. In this case, WHICH STATES HAVE GAS PRICES BELOW $2? If he has specifics, great! But he is lying. I am so tired of politicians that have no facts to back up their inflammatory claims. The attached graph took me all of seconds to generate.

Kitty is almost as big as Soar! Do they play together? Our Spark found a new little friend in my son’s new puppy. Although their sizes don’t match, their energy does.
