When she sits down on the sofa, she’ll move a little closer

Shawshank, January 12, 2026

Good Monday morning my friends. It’s a dark, cold morning out there. I know this because I stood at the door to take the featured image this morning. Podrick even got a lungful of cool, crisp air. He, like me, was not impressed. Yesterday was a nice and relaxing day. We got up, and I…

But I reckon heaven’s down there where you are

Shawshank, January 11, 2026

Happy Sunday everyone. Once again, Crystal took one for the team and kept Podrick somewhat quiet this morning. That means she’s up early, and on guard duty. She made sure I got to sleep in a little, and I love her so much for it. Yesterday was a busy day. Not as busy as the…

Who will you call up when the plane starts to go down?

Shawshank, January 8, 2026

We climbed into bed last night, kisses were exchanged. Snuggles started. I turned on my sleepy time video, and got comfortable. Within, probably just a couple of minutes, I was out. Dead to the world. That hasn’t happened in a long time. I stayed asleep until Podrick started his shenanigans this morning. He was digging…

Pick him up at seven and they’re headin’ to the rodeo

Shawshank, January 7, 2026

Morning. Podrick was being Podrick this morning. I don’t know what he was doing, but he landed on the me twice this morning. I ignored the first one, but the second one, I couldn’t. I’m up now. I had a terrible sleep last night. It took forever to fall asleep. I had to restart Sleep…
