This was the second evening walking my dog past this yard and seeing this guy. It is beyond rare for there to be black squirrels in this area, but I think they have moved south to make homes here now. At least I was able to get a few shots. It's two blocks from my house. I'd welcome it to my yard.

The first time I ate a Fuji decades ago, I was blown away by how candylike it was. Long after they finally reached Indiana, along came Honeycrisp. I rarely find some apples like Sugarbee, but I can get Cosmic Crisp and Sweet Tango and I like those a lot. Pic: a Galison puzzle of heirloom apples.

Awww. My last cat, Pikasso, was a tuxedo cat. He did not have a companion cat though like all before him did.

🤔 🙄 Meijer sent me a text asking for approval for this guy to receive text messages when his prescriptions are filled. He has now texted back with 3 marked approval forms, his electronic signature and his complete birthdate which, of course, his owner will be required to remember at pickups.

This is off topic, but is that a Bumi that he brings back to the deck? My first Shiloh Shepherd, my second and then my third all loved them. I had all sizes in all colors and all but one survived all three of those girls.

Good idea. Here's an eight year old photo of my little guy Kier when he was a new arrival at my house.

Yep. My last cat had a large area of the house he could access at will that the dogs could not. When he faced death, the dogs stopped going after him and he could finally sit with me in the living area/sleep with me. His last few months were health challenged, but our bond grew by leaps and bounds.

Yes. Not long ago, I had my first close encounter with a pileated woodpecker and I had had no idea they were longer than my forearm. Huge!

Since he's a Spaniel, this boy is prone to ear infections. Two weeks ago, a vet visit revealed 3 infections. New: raw bacteria (excruciating). An antibiotic treatment killed that, nearly removed a second infection but, being antibiotic, told the yeast to explode. Neverending struggles. Poor fellow.

The girl in my profile ID photo is Kenna. She was my soul dog. Intense bond. She died just over a year ago after eeking out her 13th B-day. But I have Kier still, pictured here. He is 8. Not a soul dog but a companion nonetheless.

I'm ridiculously delighted. When walking to the mailbox, I heard someone hammering, then saw a woodpecker deeply invested in drilling a dying tree across the street. I checked for mail, returned for my phone, and went back out in 8° temp to zoom in for an amateur shot, getting this huge ~18" fellow.

She is gorgeous. Reminds me of my Pikasso, lost at Christmas during COVID. He was a handsome fellow.

This is Kier. His eyes are almost always lost in his black face. He likes to eat snowfrom the deck bench. That makes his ears snowy on the ends. The white on the nose and neck is his, however.

I feel for you. I lost 13 year old souldog Kenna in March of this year. I still battle tears. Little guy Kier misses her companionship but he keeps my heart flowing with love.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for siblings, all scattered, and for Mom, 98, who's still going strong. Due to high winds, my dog Kier and I are on our own today. 9 months in, my heart still aches from losing my Shepherd Kenna, so I am thankful to have my little Cocker to love, eye issues and all.

Post storm. Looks so beautiful but the pop and power outage were caused by a lot of wind damage just down the road about 1/2 a mile. Some houses were damaged but an old one room, brick schoolhouse stands untouched in the midst of demolished trees.

Lucky you. I can't get my Cocker Spaniel to sit still for one. If luck allows a shot, I rarely see his eyes in it. I can find them only because he is now going gray around them.

TskTsk TutTut Piffle & Pshaw @tsktsk-tuttut.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

It is my age, physical and financial circumstances that make me think another large dog is not in my future. I'd have one in a blink otherwise. My reason for being born was to care for some animals over my lifetime. Kenna was ill, not walking, physically taking a toll on me. I do still have Kier.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. Handsome fellow, wasn't he? Certainly caught my mother's eye. We lost him when he was 73 after about thirty years Parkinson's and one heart attack that almost killed him.

Nine years ago, this little girl was in my life. She was a Cocker Spaniel who never exceeded 17 lbs. I loved her petite size, her truly sweet personality, and her intelligence. By comparison. Previous female Cockers were in the mid 20s and now, Kier, the only male I've had, battles to stay at 30lbs.

You have a Kieran! I have a Kier. On paper, it's Kieran because it means "small dark one" and he's that compared to my now deceased Shiloh Shepherd Kenna, but Kier is really the name I use for him. Your pup is handsome! I love Huskies, Malamutes and big furry dogs in general. Grew up w/Cockers.

Last evening my dog came in reeking. I suspected a meal of wildlife. Morning light revealed 3 dead and 3 living 6-inch bunnies in cold rain. I gave them dry warmth, located a Eastern Cottontail rescue specialist 7 minutes away. The delivered buns are in good shape and still very full of mom's milk.

I have one pet, Kier, left. With Trump and klan trying to destroy our lives monetarily, I'm not sure I should add a new member to this family of one dog and one senior of questionable health. I'm sure you do miss your two. Although I feel her spirit near at times, I miss Kenna terribly.

Went to the university vet opthamologist yesterday and was successful at garnering loving pets and ear rubbing from almost every human in the waiting room and vet office. He honestly believes there is no human who doesn't want to give him their full attention.

I'm sorry for your loss of Tango. I lost my soul dog Kenna March 6. She too had followed a soul dog whose spirit was deeply embedded in me. I've had 4 soul dogs and other fur friends. Each soul dog pointed me to the next. Each loss is harder. I hope you can feel Tango near you and I wish you peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you are doing as well as possible at this point. I lost my soul dog of 13 years on March 6 of this year. I have lost many pets, including three soul dogs. This was my hardest loss, but now she's with a cat and a Cocker who had been part of her life.

It has been two months since my final goodbye to Kenna. In truth, the loss has been the hardest I've had, but Kier and I are steadily forging a new life. Over the past 2 months, my little guy, now 7, started graying. He has white "eyebrows" now and is slower. It's ok. I'm not getting younger either.
