Dot drifted off while keeping me company on the sofa yesterday afternoon.

I haven't slept for almost 40 hours. I didn't have any patience for a photo today.

I'm not entirely fond of this edit, so we'll see if it stays.

Haha I'm reminded of.

The incredible mix of Bernese Mountain Dog, Golden Retriever, Black Labrador, and Malamute has given me a companion like no other! When we hike, Dozer occasionally stops to catch his breath, which provides me with the perfect moment to appreciate the breathtaking scenery around us. In those beautiful pauses, we both feel an immense gratitude for our shared journey. Dozer's enthusiasm is contagious, motivating us to continue exploring the wonders that await. Now that he's four, I'm filled with excitement for the countless adventures that lie ahead with my faithful hiking buddy by my side!

I tried several different solutions on the ripper and ended up with this one. Looks powerful enough and is also able to be raised and lowered.

Must be nice to use your own back as a down pillow!
