He could be chewing on his giant post-bath bone, but it's much more interesting to watch me make dinner. I might drop something, you see, and he needs to be ready to snorfle it up. What if he misses out? What then?

If you can't get to the gym, use what's around you to get in a good workout. For instance, Fern is helping me do front squats. Before, I could only use her for bicep curls.

I was looking through my phone for an unrelated photo and stumbled upon this gem. I took this a few years ago while working for an editing company. No one wanted to edit erotica, but someone had to do it. Suffice it to say... it was NOT erotic.

I made tomato soup with our marzano and heirlooms. Pro-tip: if you put your sandwiches in the soup, make sure the soup isn't atomic. If it is, it'll get mushy before you eat it, and your partner will judge you for mashing it into your soup. Rude...

You might be wondering what he's watching so intently. Me--eating a banana. I give him the gross end part or as I call it, the bananus. His gaze is so intense that I worry I'll combust if he stares at me too long. Fear-based training works. 🐶😨

Update: it was good! Creepy, great job building suspense. I like that you don't see the alien too much. Kind of gives it a slasher feel. Also appreciate it wasn't gory. That said... the crew makes some, uh, interesting choices. 🤔

Link's barking habits are...interesting now that he's deaf. For instance, Fern likes to bark at traffic. Link doesn't, but he sees that she's barking, so he barks. It's the laziest, least concerned bark ever. Sometimes, he wanders in circles barking...
