  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 6: Well

    Big bucket of red liquid in the foreground, with a person directly behind it (their face has been replaced with a smile emoticon) in a white shirt, with another person in the background; a white Christmas tree, with lights, is in the background behind the second person.

    Closest thing I could find in my photo library, this is a “well” of alcohol at a Holiday party back at University. πŸŽ„πŸΎπŸ₯³ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 5: Forest

    Landscape photo with clouds in the sky and a distant view of forest-covered 'hills' (they're called mountains on the east coast but they would be called hills when compared to the Rocky Mountains), with a forest in the foreground of the photo.

    The view from some random trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a couple years back. 🌳 #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 4: Orange

    Cider in a glass, the rim dusted with cinnamon powder, with a vertical orange slice on the lip of the glass, on a white-cloth covered table with a spoon in the foreground.

    Every time my partner and I visit Quebec City, we have a dinner at a local crepΓͺrie and inevitably get cider with the meal. This time, there was cinnamon on the glass and an orange slice. 🍎🍊 #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 3: Precious

    Grey long-haired cat (with a tuff of lighter fur on his chest), looking straight into the camera, with light yellow-green eyes.

    Sadly, our little puppy-rabbit crossed the rainbow bridge back in February but this little fur-ball is still with us, eating us out of house and home, puking all his food up, and wailing plaintively to go outside. 😸 #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 2: buildup

    Vegan slinger (sourdough toast, vegetarian sausage, and scrambled eggs, covered in gravy) on a white plate with a fork.

    The inverse of “buildup” is “tear down” and in my case, devouring breakfast while catching up with an old friend. 🍽️ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 1: Abstract

    Abstract image with shades of blue and silver.

    Decided it would be fun to use DiffusionBee, used the following for the prompt: “random collection of splashes of colors, focusing on shades of blue and silver, Jackson Pollock, HD” #mbsept

  • Another iOS Photos widget memory of #Russell πŸ’”πŸΆ

  • I use the iOS Photos widget on my Home Screen and there have been a lot of #Russell photos popping up lately. πŸ’”πŸΆ I’ve decided it would be a good idea to post them, until it isn’t… 🀣

  • I still wake up every day, missing Russell, hoping it was just a bad dream…only for reality to come crashing down on me. πŸ’”πŸΆ I’m so grateful to all the friends who’ve been there for me, trying to offer comfort and companionship; I’m truly blessed. ❀️

  • “How did that annoying little creature worm his way so deep into our hearts?" - me asking my Partner between breakdowns today πŸ’”πŸΆ

    Messy white dog, with hair obscuring one eye, staring into the camera while on a blue pillow.
  • Nobody tells you how much this hurts…or maybe they did and I just didn’t realize? I’ve never lost a pet as an adult; it’s been less than 12 hours and I feel like it’s been an eternity. I don’t know what I’m going to do without Russell, the world just feels so…empty. πŸ’”πŸΆ

  • Goodbye Russell

    We said goodbye to our boy today. He drifted across the rainbow bridge full of all his favorite foods (ham, meatballs, & pΓ’tΓ©), nestled between us on the couch (it was his favorite place to be). I’m going to miss you, my little puppy-rabbit, I’m going to miss you. πŸ’”πŸΆπŸ•

    I’m reminded of my favorite song from my favorite musical:

    I’ve heard it said,
    That people come into our lives,
    For a reason.
    Bringing something we must learn.
    And we are lead to those,
    Who help us most to grow if we let them.
    And we help them in return.
    Well I don’t know if I believe that’s true.
    But I know I’m who I am today,
    Because I knew you.
    …..
    Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better.
    I do believe I have been changed for the better.
    …..
    Because I knew you,
    I have been changed
    For good.

    …Of course, in my head, I’m changing out “people” with “dogs” but you get the idea…

    Goodbye my little friend, I’m going to miss you…until we (hopefully) meet again. Thank you for letting me be your Human. πŸ’”πŸΆ

  • I think he’s plotting my demise… 😬😼 #cat

    Camera focused on a cat, who is giving some side-eye, with a blurry background.
  • Russell was giving a lot of side eye when I was trying to get him to look at the camera… 🀣🐢

    Cute dog with dirty white hair giving the camera some side-eye, with one ear flopped up.
