He wants to be a pretty princess.... my nephew 🐶 As soon as I asked, “Are you a handsome boy?!” he proceeded to eat the princess crown.

@SumisBooks I‘m so sad to read about Molly!! She was so lucky to have you ❤️

Yesterday, while I was running, Otis decided he needed to be as close to me as possible and wedged himself between the treadmill and the wall. When I was cooling off, he climbed on the treadmill with me. Poor doggo is nervous with all the packing. #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge

Caterina Sweetheart! 😍😭 Our dog gets very nervous about packing too and keeps us in sight at all times, whether it's packing for a move or just a trip! 5y
wanderinglynn Aw, poor baby. ❤️🐶 But great job working out when you‘re packing! 5y

This is not book related-sorry. This is Mason. He‘s basically a hospice dog. Unfortunately based on a certain black dogs behavior, he‘s probably not staying. I knew having a kid working for the humane society would be a problem. What was I supposed to say to “Mom, if we don‘t take him, they‘re gonna put him down!” 🤷‍♀️

Redwritinghood Poor baby! 💕💕 5y
CocoReads @Redwritinghood he‘s very sweet. Hopefully the dog we already have will chill the f out. Right now they‘re lying next to each other but feeding time could be a problem. Ours has already gotten territorial over the food bowls. 5y

Boo belongs to my Uncle and is the absolute sweetest. I was dog sitting one day and apparently this is how she likes to lay 🤣 I got a chuckle out of it so I hope you do as well! #dogsoflitsy
