I Haven’t Checked the News Today and Frankly May Not For the Rest of the Day, So Here, Have a Couple of Dogs Hanging Out in the Shade

After, of course, they ran around like puppies. That’s Charlie, obviously, on the left, and Buckley, the neighbor dog, on the right. They enjoy each other’s company, until one of them inevitably annoys the other. Then they get a time out until they’re happy to see each other again. This is also how people work a lot of the time, I’ve noticed.

Ha ha! Always thinking ahead of what I’m reading I thought you were saying, “I Haven’t Checked the News Today and Frankly May Not For the Rest of My Life!” Would that it were, I wouldn’t blame you! Hope Ohio wing-nuts choose not to vote for “J.P., right?”
i love pictures of dogs living their best life.
Look at all that lovely green grass. My Kootenay would love to be hanging out with Charley and Buckley. (And yes he would probably annoy both of them by jumping on them.)
Turns out to be a good day for not checking the news.
Yes, you wouldn’t want today’s blathering commentary to wangle its way into your awesome book. Taper your influencing elements to dogness and springtime. Things will be better that way.
Dogs are impressively good at unadulterated joy. Certainly an example to aspire to.
Very off-topic but I just finished The Kaiju Preservation Society and I loved it. It was exactly what I needed now. Thank you for brightening my day.
Beautiful pictures as always!
Toby Brownie Sunflower Noodle Poodle’s fallback position is rejoicing.
whether you meant it as a deliberate move or simply lucked out of the SCOTUS shitstorm… bravo!
HMMM… “Scotus Shitstorm” as title of my next dystopian post-apocalyptic love story set in the 2080s as America seeks to survive climate change and the third generation of Elon Musk clones hellbent upon world domination… as two teenagers share their forbidden love of pineapple in burritos…
