@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialBoy, The Marketplace at #Factoria is like a ghost town this AM... it's kinda nice! Just working alone at Panera. Say hi if you're in the area.
I saw #ShowTheDog & Mike out panhandling v early busing over & I bet they're trying to beat the rain, so show them some love if you see 'em.
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialBonus photo of #ShowTheDog pensively staring off into the middle distance and looking very emo.
She’s the beatifulest and the best 🥰
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialOMGOOSH who’s a pretty girl?? 🤩
#ShowTheDog is!!
That’s what I told her after that gorgeous photo. Show’s usually too busy/can’t be bothered to look toward a camera/phone/lens, but she spiked it here & you can see her gorgeous, soulful brown eyes 🥹
What a dear, sweet angel!
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.social“Whooooo’s the prettiest, sweetest, happiest girl in the whole, wide world??”
is what I just now said to #ShowTheDog when I stumbled onto her adorable self on my to get lunch.
Show made as if to get up, but I told her, “Keep your seat!” and got down next to her to snuggle for a bit 🥰
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialIt’s too hard to pick just 1, and #ShowTheDog isn’t *my* #dog, but she is my friend and she lets me take silly pictures of her a lot, like this one where she points her paw in the air like a ballerina after a big stretch 😆
Or the one where she curiously goobered right up to the lens.
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialIsn’t that diabolical?? I said it was so toddler-like. Like a smart, petty toddler 😆
She was pouting — malingering, really — to guilt (essentially) her foster father into taking off his sweater bc she wanted to sit on it, and she put on a (wait for it) Show to get him to do it 🤩
Hence, #ShowTheDog
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialTrue story: #ShowTheDog was kind of half-limping, moving real gingerly and looking sad/unwell, and I asked Mike, “Is Show okay??”
He 🙄 & said, “She’s fine. She just wants something soft to lay on. She wants my jacket, but I’m not doing it. Lay down!” and then he took off his jacket & that was it 🤣
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.social#ShowTheDog is so sweet and cute, I get misty-eyed sometimes just looking at her 🥹
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialAw, look who it is!!
It’s #ShowTheDog, the most wondrous and beauteous #dog in all of #Bellevue, IF NOT THE WORLD! 🥰
She’s headed up to Higher Leaf with Mike (they always have treats for her, and love when she visits), then Mike and I are going to blaze 🔥🌳💨
It’s a good day in the #PNW!
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialThis #dog has profound ADHD, but it doesn’t hinder or impair her at all, bc Mike lets her roam and free-range all her curiosities out 🥰
Hard af to walk behind her, though 😅
I love #ShowTheDog more than I love almost anyone. What a beautiful spirit she has.
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialAwwww! Speak of the angel, and she shall appear 😇
I was missing #ShowTheDog, so I wandered down to where I figured she likely was in #Factoria, and sure enough!
… Mike was napping and we accidentally woke him up, but once she saw me, there was no hope of it going otherwise 😆
@iamkaymichelle.bsky.socialOh I know all about this sort of thing. #ShowTheDog isn’t *my* dog, but she *is* my friend. I get it ☺️
Hey, Bonita!! What a sweetie and a cutie 🥰
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.social… the perfect little tossing stick. #ShowTheDog was ELATED, lol. She got after it immediately.
It’s very easy to see why a “10-minute walk,” with Show is always actually, like, a half-hour walk 😆
Show loves that stick so much, and I love it for her, too 🥰
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialThis is a 2-part #DogSky video, in which #ShowTheDog first sees a stick she wants, and Mike agreeably breaks it up for her (he’s the best to her; Mike indulges her every whim, and I love it), and then…
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialOMGOOSH 🥰
What a day for #DogSky!
I just met this adorable #PitBull #puppy (whose actual, legal, government name is HoneyBaby, fr) in Factoria, right after running into #ShowTheDog, AND — get this — they’re buddies!
HoneyBaby + Show are reportedly total besties & love each each other 🥰
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialLooooook at the baaaaaaaby 🥰
It’s #ShowTheDog! She’s still sadly out here panhandling with Mike and Luther. It’s been a slow day, but she’s keeping a bright spirit. And napping a lot 😆
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialAww, my Photos app is serving me up some very sweet, cute photos of #ShowTheDog this AM 🥹
I hope I see her in a bit! I bet I do.
She’s usually down at Factoria Blvd and SE Eastgate/I-90 with Mike and Luther panhandling around this time of day, and I’m going to be by there soon 🥰
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialI do need y’all to see how ADHD #ShowTheDog is 😆
Mike is very patient with her (as am I).
I think of it as a sort of Montessori approach, wherein she gets to explore her world and space as she sees fit!
… makes for an absolutely fuckin batty walking-route, though 😅
@kcookandcatsco.bsky.socialIt was good as hell, too.
#ShowTheDog had the last few bites bc I ran into her as I was eating it (right outside the storefront, standing, like a barnyard animal 😅)
