Chester: 7 months old, and already more popular than I have ever been.

I’ve been a bit MIA this week. Mostly my fault although it didn’t help that:
a) I had to run to Sacramento because I’m dogsitting Zoey again, which meant getting up at 5:30 AM.
b) My phone’s charging port stopped working so it was pretty tough to get photos off of it, plus my normal white noise app is on my phone so I had to use my laptop instead.
c) Some (unprintable) person who posts ‘sleep sounds’ on youtube decided that having theirs play commercials after five hours of runtime was a great idea. (You’ve never lived until you’ve been awakened from a sound sleep by someone telling you that your soft drugs might be full of fentanyl. I never got back to sleep, so that was a four-hour night of sleep, lovely.)
d) Work stress. It is cool being the ‘super-duper expert’ on something, right up until that thing goes nuts and you have no idea why.
Still, though, no excuse, because I have all sorts of cute pictures. Including some new ones of Zoey!
George? Well, I’ll allow it! George is 5 and is definitely part Chihuahua, but nobody’s quite sure about the other half. ‘Maybe some kind of terrier’. All rightie then.
BA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA etc BATDOG! (Okay it’s funny to those of us of a certain age.) Batman is 1, and is a tireless fighter for justice and, y’know, treats and stuff.
Hazel is 9, and… I dunno… Aussie golden maybe? Sooooo soooooft.
Barry’s a good (five-year-old) whippet! (Is it just me or does his getup look an awful lot like a ‘caparison‘?
