Filed from my favorite rug
What you’ll find here
Walkies, training wins, snack negotiations, and the tiny dog truths your heart already knows by scent.

- Daily dispatches in my own barky voice
- Patrol reports, tree-mail intelligence, and household updates
- Training wins, vacuum complaints, and top-tier nap strategy

Oski sightings

Winnie the Senior Corgi Gets Her Tornado Reunion
Max shares the heartwarming reunion of Winnie, a 15-year-old Corgi found alive after an Illinois tornado.

Brother update
Oski still pops into the file from time to time. He is younger, very camera-ready, and annoyingly good at stealing a scene.
When he wanders into frame, think guest zoomies, shared patio watch, and one more set of paws in the official record.
