precious <3 Literally, getting this close to a sloth (without getting bitten with those teeth) after walking seven seas to get to Edinburgh was totally worth it.
mercat bros I paid loads to hang out with these mercats in Edinburgh Zoo. I canceled my vacation. I missed my easyJet to Edinburgh from Gatwick because I pooed two minutes longer than I should've, so I took three trains from Gatwick to Edinburgh including a night being homeless at a phone booth in Newcastle because all hotels were fully booked on bank holiday weekend.
artic doggos Mom and I went to Northern Sweden to see the Northern Lights and ski. I couldn't tell the difference between the Northern lights and clouds without an iPhone camera. Also, skiing during a snow storm (there was a hurricance hitting from Norway) was a very poor life choice (I'm glad I'm still alive). I think I will ski there again for the midnight sun though
Liz and Dan's new sibling During Christmas Liz went to Vietnam for a hiking trip and her mom's friends got cats for adoption. Dan asked their mom to consider that Liz is allergic to cats, and probably adopting two cats can be tricky for their fam. But ya, their mom adopted the cats (we joked that they are to replace Liz and Dan) before Liz came home lol. Well Liz and Dan are in good terms with their new sibilings.
Doggo waiting for the Tube Waiting at the Piccadilly line. Went to London for Adrian and Regine's wedding! I have known Adrian since 4, and Regine is the GREATEST addition to his life. Like literally, he has become a waaaay better human being. Well, he wasn't that bad to start with, at least when I was in high school in the U.S., he helped me out with math when he was across the pond in the U.K. He got his PhD in Math at 25
Can't move anymore I feel ya, doggo! It's so warm, and you're so furry.

FDR's dog "You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, as soon as he learned that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that I'd left him behind on an Aleutian island and had sent a destroyer back to find him— at a cost to the taxpayers of million of dollars— his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since."
Sassy sheep Elise and I decided to get on a morning walk before the sermons during Fall retreat, and we saw this girl.
