PSA: Minneapolis (and everywhere we went in MN) was SO dog friendly! In general, it was lovely to see so many people OUTSIDE enjoying their city - running, biking, walking their dogs. Plenty of bike / ped lanes and parks everywhere. #Greyhounds #Skyhounds

Today is our Piper’s 7th birthday! Her headband even has 7 candles! 😂 Just a little cookie from one of the local pet stores today. She will get more special treats on our upcoming vacation. #SkyHounds #Greyhound

ALCARAZ IN THREE?!?! 🔥 This is the good news the world needs right now. 🎾

We are going to Minneapolis soon with our dogs for a little vacation. Anything we can’t miss? Places to eat or drink with dogs? Photo of our good girls eating ice cream for tax. 😊

This Tiafoe vs. Alcaraz match has been way more competitive than I anticipated. Still wish they could have met later in the tournament. Happy for whomever wins. 🎾

I think it’s great that Coco plays doubles. Her movement and net play are so much better than many other players because of it. Also, better that she does it now while she’s young. 🎾

Coco is looking strong 💪🎾 #Wimbledon

Piper often likes to stop and sniff the flowers when we come back from our walk. This combo is not fragrant for humans, but maybe they are for her? #Greyhound #Skyhounds

Post walk treat time. Down to 80F at 7:30 pm. We will take it after the past few days and what is forecast for Monday. Neither of them caught their biscuits. Piper is usually pretty solid, but I think she was confused by me taking a picture at the same time. #Skyhounds #Greyhounds

Forgot my tags! #Greyhounds #Skyhounds

Today is June’s 6th birthday! She celebrated with a pupcake, but the greatest gift would be Piper’s friendship. Piper still isn’t quite ready to oblige in the way June would like.

Vamos, Carlitos! Happy to see this outcome! 🎾

If it can’t be Rafa, it better be Alcaraz. Really, almost anyone but Zverev would be fine. 🎾

Piper: Did you say dinner?! #Skyhounds #Greyhound

Just watched Butterfly in the Sky, the Reading Rainbow doc. That show meant so much to me growing up, and the doc was really well done. 🥹🦋☁️📖🌈 #ButterflyInTheSky #ReadingRainbow

Rafa, always classy, even in defeat. Forever a fan, and thankful for all the amazing matches over the years. #VamosRafa 🎾🤘🇪🇸

Trying to make last-minute decisions for my grad level YA lit class this summer. Anyone have opinions on these fantasy novels? Hearts Still Beating, Brooke Archer King of Dead Things, Nevin Holness The Vanishing Station, Ana Ellickson #YALit @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social

June: Oh, this means we’re friends, right? Piper: Absolutely not. This is my way of ensuring you stay at arm’s length! #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

We achieved peak greyhound last night when both of them were roaching at the same time. I couldn’t get them both in the same shot, but June’s roach is a much rarer appearance. #SkyHounds

Unfortunately, this is all too accurate 😕 #EduSky

This is the face of a dog who had a dental today. The humans are happy she didn’t have any extractions, June is happy her friend is home, and Piper isn’t really sure what is happening. All she knows is that she can’t quite control her tongue.

I have to admit that I didn’t watch the women’s NCAA tournament before this year, but it’s very interesting to me that they don’t play these early round games at neutral sites.

The nice thing about not making a bracket is that I can cheer with my heart and not my head. Happy for Oakland! 🏀

I will always love Stevie Wonder, and I think Annie Lennox was the perfect choice for this Sinead O’Connor / memorial tribute. #Grammys

Gauff with nerves of steel! 🎾 #AusOpen
