Athena doesn’t understand human toys. Where are the fuzzy mice? The catnip-filled banana? The chaseable string? Humans are weird. #catthoughts #catlife #lifewithcats #catandbaby #whenthegrandkidvisits #cats

They may have come from different litters, but these two are definitely siblings. #Brother #Jasper #Sister #Lilah #doglife #mydogs #dogs

A rare moment between these two. #Calvin had a scratch above his eye and #Halley was concerned. #friendship #lifewithdogsandcats #cat #dog

Elsa Clair is not spoiled. Those feet though. #catlife #toebeans #catfeet #comfycat #notspoiled

This is her “Please pick me up and hold me” face. Who could resist? #thoseeyestho #prettykitty #mycat #cat #tortie #tortitude

These three. Those paws and smiling faces. ❤️❤️❤️#Halley #Jasper #Lilah I love my dogs.

When it’s hot outside, I fill up the kiddie pool for the dogs. Lilah loves it. She walks in a circle with her snout in the water, blowing bubbles. I love the water dripping off her muzzle in the picture. #happydog #coolingoff #summerfun #doglife

The face of a dog who is not allowed in the garden and thinks I can’t see her. #Halley #terrier #terrierlife #hiding

Hmm. I don’t remember adding that to my bookcase. #cat #tuxie #catsandbooks

Today my dog Halley had a close encounter with a very brave (or very stupid) green #frog. #dogandfrog #terrier #doglife #lifeofaterrier

These two. Different ages. Different breeds. Different story. Same family. Same love. #mydogs #dogs #love

Bandage on foot. Plastic bag to protect bandage on foot. Cone to keep dog from ripping off plastic bag and bandage on foot. Jasper isn’t happy but he’s able to go outside and sniff the sniffs. Hoping his foot heals soon and he’ll be back to running free soon. #coneofshame

Yesterday a very stupid groundhog waddled into our yard. Halley saw them first and attacked. Jasper joined in. The results? 1 dead groundhog. 1 dog who had his toe nearly bitten off. As for Halley, the terrier who started it all: not a scratch. #terriers #terrierlife #exgroundhog
