Winnie is absolutely adorable! I don’t have any fur babies of my own, so I just adopt all the precious babies I see here and Twitter. I hope it’s ok if I do that with Winnie. I miss having my own! Winnie is a beautiful baby. Thank you for sharing her with us. I’m already in love 🥰

Such big little feet for such a small cutie little puppy. And such a big yawn. Thank you for the photos, they're a very good respite from all the Sturm und drang of the era. Marching ever onward towards Nov. 5. Blue all the way.

The sleepy little girl big yawn is so adorable! 💙💙💙

I think Ollie is getting jealous. Vets tomorrow; the poor boy has been getting so itchy since the vet put him on Epiphen a few months ago, and it’s got worse over the last week or so. 🥴😥 He’s been out of sorts all weekend, but he has just managed his happy wappy 🤪 Ollie face for me. Perking up nicely for bedtime! 🐾🐾

After the election is won, we need to campaign for more dog emojis: there are half a dozen or so different cat expressions, but only one doggie face. 🐶

Clare, you are right! We need more emoji options custom-made! Our other dog took Apoquel and got cytopoint shots for skin issues—we stopped the Apoquel but the cytopoint did help. One shot every 2-3 months. Right now it’s bad itchy times for all. Hope Ollie gets relief!

Thanks! My husband’s boss had her dog on Apoquel, although when I mentioned it on the phone the other day our vet said steroids were more effective. The steroids did work at first, but then Ollie’s system seemed to get resistant. I’ll ask about cytopoint tomorrow. 🤔👍🐾🐶

Apoquel affects the immune system for some dogs. Cytopoint is safer my vet said.

Winnie is a little beauty queen! For those of us with pets, our lives would be a bit less delightful without them. 💖

Loving we have something to look forward to in the coming weeks. Winnie gets more precious each time I see her. I’d say you made a mighty fine choice. Now back to postcard writing.

It's good that Winnie can let you sleep. After all, as a puppy, her major activity is sleeping so she can grow. My Sully (Sullivan) is a Silver Lab and is now 9 years old (best estimate). He wakes me up before 6 every morning. I do not complain because my bladder has had me up at least once overnight (and on occasion as often as every two hours) so I know that his is at least as full. Sometimes he pees for as much as 15 seconds -- the first time (others may follow). Some mornings he goes down the hill to his "secret" pooping spot and comes up refreshed. (I'm just happy to have the hat with mosquito netting so I don't have to cover my head with OFF! and long sleeves and trousers protect the rest of my flesh).

Thanks for the vicarious pleasure. I’m enjoying Winnie like a Granny does—without the work.
