Ignore our random convo...

Ignore our random convo about the smell of childhood toys (we're watching the He Man movie). This is Bear's daily routine. He has to give his Papa a bath. It's very serious business. 😂🥰

We're trying hard to convince this lab mix...

We're trying hard to convince this lab mix that water is ok. 😂😂😂  He'll do almost anything for treats.

Cubba did great today. 😊

He's serving face today. 😂

I so love this baby goblin. 💕

Look at this dog. 😂😂😂

Pardon the chewed and clawed chair. We've given up on having anything nice with so many fur-kids in the house.

When you scare your own child.

When you scare your own child. Look at those hackles! 😂😭

All I did was come downstairs for the first time today. I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't verbally greet everyone. I'm pretty sure Bear doesn't have good vision. He plays fetch like you play with a human baby:  Throw the ball too far or too fast, and it ceases to exist. Rolling the ball is best.

So yeah. I came downstairs and that was his reaction. "Hell naw, to the naw, naw, naw." 🤣🤣🤣 He peaced out so fast! It took some convincing to get him to come back in the house. He was UNSURE. 😂

Adrian spent the night downstairs last night for the first time...

Adrian spent the night downstairs last night for the first time, so that's exciting. She did have a pee accident, even though Shaun has shown her the litter box. I'm hoping she'll adjust to going into the sunroom to use the boxes. Looks like Bear isn't going to make it easy to use the door. 😂😂😂

It would be amazing to get home and be able to sleep through the night because no sweet little kitty is trilling body-slamming me. 😂 I love her so much. She is so precious. But I need SLEEP. 🫠

I'm in Houston for a few more days.

Meanwhile, back home...

Shaun and Bear are doing, well... regular Shaun and Bear things. 😂😂😂

I love these two. 🤣😁

Why does he look fake sometimes?

Why does he look fake sometimes? Like there's a puppet just laid out in my floor. 😂😂😂

His lips! 🤣

A little Cub appreciation post. 😊

He's such a good boy. ❤️❤️❤️

The greenhouse is my happy place. 😊

I can't believe how fast the baby doves are growing. Shaun checked the camera and said that the parents left the babies alone for about 6 hours last night. It was down to 40°F, but it looks like their feathers are coming in, so I guess it was ok. They're doing fine today. They're starting to move around more. I'm going to have to be extra careful when going in the greenhouse to make sure of where they are in case they're on the ground.

I got a quick video of baby Bear enjoying the flowers. He's so freaking precious. I love my good helper.

From the greenhouse the last few days. 😊

My Huernia Zebrina seed pod opened up.

Bear loves coming in and checking on things. He's always so happy to smell the plants. Why is he so cute!? 😊😊😊

I keep missing this one fully open, but it's such a pretty color!

Shaun put up one of our spare cameras in the greenhouse. Now we can be on Baby Bird watch! 💗

Found Bear wearing his collar like this.

Found Bear wearing his collar like this. I don't know how that happened. I also don't know how it hasn't happened before. He's got an adult neck and baby head. 😂

He kind of looks like he's wearing a hair bow from the front. 😂😂😂

Some pics from this month.

Some pics from this month. I keep meaning to post and forget to.

Last picture is quality control.

The supervisor.

The inspector.

👀

😂😂😂

Mmmm. The textures.

The colors!

My hands were a mess from repotting, but look at this poor thirsty thing! It has since got a new pot and soil and now lives in the house temporarily.

The gnarly ones are really growing on me.

Is this the plant version of a C-section? That's not where the babies usually come from. 😂

Spring is springing!

Helper helping. Can't do anything without this one participating. 😂❤️

We took the boys out for errands...

We took the boys out for errands, which y'all KNOW is Bear's favorite thing. 😂

Shaun thought his parking break was off, but it wasn't when he tried to drive and the car lurched.

Bear been holding on for dear life since! 😂😂😂

And that face! The distrust! The "WTF was that, Papa!?" 😂

Edit:  He was compensated with a pup cup for his troubles.

Bear's "Tuck me in, Papa" face.

Bear's "Tuck me in, Papa" face.

So pitiful. I worked him too hard today. 😂😂😂

I don't know why I thought...

I don't know why I thought I could do any indoor repotting with this dog awake. 😂

I set up in the floor, had a trash bag for the old dirt, and got started. Bear came to sniff the dirt - no big deal. Then he just nonchalantly took his big old paw and scraped the trash bag right out from under the pot I was emptying. I dumped dirt all in the floor.

Then he started nosing some plants, which was fine, until he started throwing paws at them, too. He likes to mimic what we do, so I'm sure he just wanted to help me empty pots.

The last straw - the one that made me decide to wait for his bedtime - was when he found my pumice box. He tentatively sniffed and then put a paw in, then was suddenly furiously digging pumice out all over the floor with both paws. 🤦🏻

I had to clean up and decide this wasn't going to be something I can do right now. 😂😂😂

Look how satisfied he looks. We did our task together. Best helper in the land. 10/10. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Shaun heard some noise, so he checked on Baby Bear.

Shaun heard some noise, so he checked on Baby Bear.

He's so comfy. He never rolls and stretches like this outside of his crate. This is his safe space. ❤️

Volume up for a little Bear snort at the end.

A kick and a toothy kiss from Bear. 😊

Kiss him back!

How Bear was lookin'...

How Bear was lookin' when I was vacuuming out the greenhouse the other day. He noped all the way across the yard. 😂😂😂 Lookin' with the big eyes so the vacuum doesn't get him. 😂

🤦🏻 Bear.

🤦🏻 Bear.

It's been unusually quiet for the last few hours.

Shaun picked up groceries earlier, and APPARENTLY, Bear slipped into the garage unnoticed while Shaun was bringing them in.

Shaun started looking for him and we JUST found him. He was sleeping by the door. Didn't scratch/knock. Didn't bark. Just got trapped alone and thought "I guess I'll take a nap." 😂😂😂 (Definitely my son in that regard. 😆) 

That dog is so unbothered.

☝🏻 UNLESS it's the ice dispenser. Fuck that, always and forever, still. 😂
