Sunk into the puffy pillow. May 2020. When we discovered her love for playing with this little elephant, the leap in energy levels was astounding. May 2020. Barking her demands that I throw the elephant toy. May 2020. So happy to play. May 2020. We have become inseparable and she boops until she's in my lap quite often. May 2020. Smiley and itchy. May 2020. Right before she probably faceplanted or barrel rolled as she is wont to do. May 2020. Sweet little snuggler. June 2020. We got rid of the elephant but she loves the tennis ball too. July 2020. Feeling spiffy in her fleece. October 2020. Happy to run. January 2021. Snoozy peanut. June 2021. Flower child. April 2022. She always liked to be near me. September 2022. Stinkeye. November 2022. Didn't quite make it to the bed. January 2023. I got her a little burrito bed and she'd want to sit on my lap while I worked. March 2023.

    AKA Peanut. The Grumblebug. The Persnickety Peanut. Stinky/Blinky/Winky Tinky. The Boop Queen. The Midnight Pooper.

    Her real name is Tinker Bell, but that is unacceptable. Tink is our most recent foster (seventh and last for now) and we wanted a break from the chaos for a bit, and since she was a bit of a tougher sell (old and leaky), we figured we’d give her a good home. She's a mini and was immediately comfortable because she just sort of exists. She's also unafraid to boop you until you give her whatever she wants. We think she’s around 13 and maybe has some physiological or developmental issues that mess with her balance and coordination. She doesn't really 'do' walks, but she has endless energy when chasing a ball in the backyard.

    Tink passed away on 23.03.24 almost making it to 15, just like Murphy. The house is very quiet with just Ruby, but Ruby will get a new sibling soon enough.
