I love it when he sleeps.

I love it when he sleeps. He snores so lightly. It's precious. He also periodically does a little snort snuffle that melts my heart.

It's so hard not to go disturb him with a thousand kisses. I just want to eat him up! ❤️

Bear has a surgery consultation next month on the 18th.

Bear has a surgery consultation next month on the 18th. It's with the same skilled surgeon who operated on Oreo. I felt very comfortable with her and her team.

They won't be doing same-day surgery like they did with Oreo. Oreo was a special case and everyone was trying to save him. Thankfully, Bear's knees aren't threatening his life. They're just a thing we need to get fixed. The sooner, the better, obviously. I'm glad to have that scheduled.

Today is Kira's birthday. She's a whole 24 years old.

Today is Kira's birthday. She's a whole 24 years old.

She wanted a Strawberry Shortcake for her birthday, but I think there was some confusion on whether she was celebrating today or this weekend.

Long story short:  She has all of this cake now. 😂

Unbeknownst to us, she made the 2 smaller cakes for herself last night so she would have a cake today. Me and Shaun went shopping this morning and found a slice of Strawberry Shortcake, but not a whole cake. We also found the other strawberry cake which looks really good, so we snagged it, too. And cakes pops, just because. 😂

So... Looks like we'll be eating cake for the rest of the week. 😂

She wanted dinner at Cracker Barrel so we did that and it was good. She also wants to go thrift shopping this weekend, so that's our plan. I hope she's had a good day! ❤️

Bear just came in growling.

Bear just came in growling. Not roaring like he does when he's excited - growling. We've heard him do it maybe once before, but it's not a thing he does often... Probably because he gives zero fucks about people or other dogs or vehicles or anything. 😂😂😂 Everything is great and happy inside Bear's little noggin. 🍃

So it takes a lot for him to growl (he doesn't usually bark), but growl he did. I asked Shaun to check on the dogs since I was in a meeting. He and Bear went outside. Bear got his tail hung in the doggie door, but did not react. He had FOCUS, ok? He looked in the direction of the offending sound until Shaun found it.  He did not help find it. He needed an adult to address this danger.

The offender? A plastic shopping bag caught on our gate, waving noisily in the wind. 😂😂😂

When I tell y'all Bear was so proud of himself... This child came in and tried to take the shoes off my feet. Then he barged into Shaun's room. Then he pulled the whole shoe rack over. 😂😂😂 He gets a really sassy walk when he's feeling some type of way and he was definitely pumped up after that. He SAVED us. He knows he did. 😂

He's politely requesting some lovings from me...

He's politely requesting some lovings from me, specifically. He's usually Shaun's boy, but Shaun called him and he sat down by me. 😂 What a peaceful protest. 😊❤️

It makes me feel special when Cub wants my attention. He's the sweetest boy. ❤️❤️❤️

I took this photo around noon.

I took this photo around noon. I guess that neighborhood in particular got a little blizzard. 😂

Not my photos, but this is who I'm expecting today. When I say that I shopped, I meant it. 😬

I don't have plans to order anymore for whatever that is worth. Several sellers on Etsy were having a spring sale + free shipping if you purchased at least a certain dollar amount. I made the most of it. If anyone wants to know the sellers I can post links.

I'm gonna be busy potting plants after work today. I'm excited! ❤️😁
