Goal accomplished, only took two days for this "heavy duty" toy. Took her longer than normal!

The first song I heard in 2026 and I think this is a pretty good way to start the year, musically speaking youtu.be/H6VnHVzuBs8

My girl Luna had Nova come visit today. They had so much fun. #dogs

She is relentless.

Torrential rain with hail in #Tucson today. Only lasted 5 minutes in my area but was amazing.

Luna has a new sqeaker ball. Sigh. #dogs

Gorgeous sunrise in #Tucson this morning. Sometimes getting up super early to walk the dog is worth it.

Luna when I tell her her sister Nova is coming over to play #dogs

Staving of deep feelings of despair with a new bloom on my rope #Hoya. The scent is amazing.

Beautiful morning in Tucson today! And we got rained on during our walk this morning which was super fun. Not hard, just enough to keep things cool and rainbowy!

Luna listening intently, while half asleep. #dogs

102°F outside and Luna is sunbathing. I'm safe in the air conditioning, thank you very much. #dogs #Tucson

Luna is planning her great escape 😁. #dogs

Luna just chilling. #dogs

Cleaning the dust off my hoyas and found some new peduncles! #hoyas #houseplants

I guess we're monsooning.. #tucson #monsoon

5:45 a.m. Tucson Arizona. The sky is looking gorgeous this morning! #Tucson

At a bit over two years, my Hoya carnosa "Rubra" - Krimson Princess - is finally blooming! Still not getting a scent as the buds aren't quite open. Maybe tomorrow! #houseplants #hoyas #plants

Ran into this fellow which I believe is a black racer on my walk this morning. I was looking at my feet for snakes. Was quite surprised when this guy was dangling not 3 ft from my face. #Tucson

How can she sleep like this? #dogs

Just the floofiest clouds this afternoon ☁️. #tucson

Luna, totally zonked out, snoring. #dogs

Yeah, no. I have no plans for the weekend.

Just a whole lot of blooming going on with my hoyas! Most of these are the first time I have gotten blooms from the plant. #hoyas

Wonderful day for lunch with friends on the patio of the Arizona National Golf Club here in Tucson. We don't golf but you've got to love the view! #Tucson

Luna getting spoiled with a Dutch Brothers pup cup. Mom also very much loves her iced golden eagle 🙂. @dutchbroscoffee.bsky.social

I'm so tired of being somewhere interesting in my dreams, pulling out my cell phone and trying to get the map app to tell me where the hell I am. I drop the phone and break it, or the app won't load, or it loads but it is zoomed out so far I can't even tell what country and it refuses to zoom in.

I calm down just looking at her. #dogs

Oooh so pretty! #dnd5e

Luna is wondering why her dinner isn't ready yet. #dogs

I bought a good-sized couch so Luna and I could fit on it (my old "couch" was love-seat sized) without squishing each other. She did not read that memo and has no guilt about it. #dogs

Luna really wants her friend Myron to play. He's not that interested. #dogs

My neighbor gave me this orchid last year in remembrance of my dog Honey Bear. I wasn't sure I could keep an orchid alive here in the desert. But look at her, blooming again! So pretty.

Someone wants me to hurry up and take her for her walk. Love this dog so much.

My new #DnD campaign Dungeons of Drakkenheim starts tomorrow! I'm excited and nervous. I'm playing a gnome warlock, archfey patron. We have six players and none of us is playing a healer 😞. My little gnome took druid initiate as an invocation so she can at least cure wounds! We're doomed.

The view from my back yard never gets old. Even when I'm depressed, the blue skies and crisp shadows on the mountain cheer me up. #Tucson

Gotta love nap time with my girl. #dogs

My Christmas cactus is getting all Christmasy! #houseplants

Fantastic session in my Rise of the Drow campaign today. We had to fight some weird monkeys with tentacles as we head into the under dark. And our new player seems great! Love me some #dnd

Luna enjoying an afternoon nap. #dogs

I mean I love the holiday and all, but why does my Thursday d&d game have to suffer? Some people just don't have the right priorities lol. #dnd

We celebrated Thanksgiving early due to my grandson having to work (he's a newly graduated EMT). My DIL cooked an amazing meal. My son smoked the turkey which was so delicious. I can't tell you how much I love seeing my grandmother's china & silver being used for a family meal. #thanksgiving

I'm hating everything today so here's my girl Luna with ear bloopage and belly ready for rubbing. #dogs
