We are all so lucky to have each other. Most of us never meet in pawson. We meet with our words & our photos. Our hearts are interconnected. We help each other celebrate & grieve. Our paths haven’t crossed by accident. Remember how precious we are to each other.

Mango is very sad and snoozing today in honor of our dear pal Dewey @superdoxies.bsky.social who passed over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈 He always appreciated a good snooze. We miss him already, but know he’s no longer in pain. We love you forever! 💔💤🐾😇❤️

We had lovely weather again today. So we spent #TerrierTuesday in the castle grounds at Hundisburg. It’s a castle with a lovely, large landscaped park where you can have a brilliant time sniffing around. (There’s also a Baroque garden.) #WelshTerrier, #Terrier, #DogsOfBluesky

#TerrierTuesday back from Venetian Holiday where we saw many 'Carpaccio' woofs but also an elderly Venetian and his BT. We waved our @misheleneous.bsky.social BT bag charm and were regaled (in Italian) about how the BT would decide where it wanted to go to sniff around the Campo .... #BTPosse

Apparently its #NationalBlackCatDay - which quite frankly is a cheek given today is #TerrierTuesday 😲 Heidi prefers the yellow ones anyway though, those that look and sound more like a Transformer....😜 #TerraceTuesday #Prestwich #Ginnel #Dogs #BorderTerrier #Manchester #DogsOfBlueSky #Cat #BTposse

In Germany October is a pumpkin month! Pumpkins are cooked, roasted, baked and served in lots of different and delicious ways! We miss that diversity in UK so on the last October #TerrierTuesday Pebble proudly presents pumpkin harvest we have discovered last year in Chatsworth Gardens 🐾🎃😋

#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky There are many legendary black dogs that prowl the lanes and remote places at this time of year. Here's Deefa Patterdale (OTRB 2921).

Pocket waiting in the curbside pickup parking, right by the entrance. The staffer came to the door with my food bag, didn't see a car; I did big waves and smiled and they came out laughing. Note his "cocked 'n ready sploot" - one leg tucked under for a quick launch. #TerrierTuesday #BTPOSSE

#TerrierTuesday The morning Ruby, at this time of year. The rain has stopped, the wind has calmed and there’s a weak, watery sun lighting the landscape. Is she interested in going for a walk? No she’s not!She’s not an early riser this time of year. 😴💤😂 #terriersofbluesky #BorderTerriers

The latest FIFA ruling is that for an ontological proposition to be onside there must not be daylight between mental experience qua experience and its verbal or numerical systematisation. Most philosophers have called the new ruling ‘hopelessly flawed’. Alan Shearer has described it as ‘bollocks’
