Day: May 18, 2017

Tie o’ the Day #2 (a Stacy Adams) heard that The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is going out of business forever. Tie’s been bawling its eyes completely dry all day. You see, Tie has always had the dream of becoming a trapeze artist with that circus. Tie wants to  fly through the air, with the proverbial greatest of ease. I managed to snap this photo of Tie practicing its trapeze artistry in the laundry room. From clothes hanger to clothes hanger to clothes hanger, Tie continues to swing–with tears a’cloudin’ its eyes–with spectacular dignity and grace, despite the fact that The Greatest Show on Earth is kaput. Even Tie o’ the Day’s dreams sometimes come crashing down. And to Tie, I’m positive it feels like there is no safety net. Pobrecito. 😭

Tie o’ the Day #1 (a Stacy Adams bow tie) enjoys playing with the mutts, and so it hopped into the bone-shaped dog toy bin, awaiting discovery by our very own Roxy. Skitter has no interest in dog toys whatsoever. Go figure.

Roxy, on the other hand, has to pull each one of her squeak toys out of the bone ASAP every day. She has a weird habit of putting all of the squeak critters into her food dish, where she licks them as she hoovers her food. As a bonus, she then drops one of the toys into her water dish, where it drowns ominously.(Please don’t lick or drown Tie o’ the Day, Roxy.) My theory about this behavior is that Roxy thinks the squeaks are her puppies, and this is how she feeds and waters them. Whatever, Roxy. 🐶🤷🏻‍♀️
