@thebiglybestestdoggie: Cousin Chloe, you were a very good doggie. You lived a great life, and you were so very loved. You have been a loyal friend to us all, and I hereby grant you the honorary title of Bestest Little Angel Doggie. Rest in peace, sweet cousin. We love you always.

@thebiglybestestdoggie: Been clawing at the door and waking Momma up every two hours the last few nights for no apparent reason other than to meander around the backyard like some sort of nocturnal lunatic. Momma is tired. I’m tired. It just seems like such a good idea, though…
This tired doggie could sure use a nap!
~Happy Tuesday, friends! If any of you have ever experienced similar issues, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’d also love a nap.~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Have you ever tried looking at the world from a different perspective? I find that looking at things upside down makes life more interesting. It also doesn’t hurt that this angle is optimal for belly rubs! Moral of the story? Experimenting with different viewpoints might just bring some sweet surprises!
Bring on those belly rubs!
~Happy Tuesday, friends!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: The kids are back in school… which means Momma obviously has more time now to give me unlimited belly rubs and even more love! Best of all, I bet I will have her undivided attention every minute of every day while they’re at school! I mean, what else could she possibly want to do than snuggle with her most favoritest doggie?
Finally, I get all the attention again!
~Happy Tuesday, friends! It’s hard to believe that summer break is over already… especially since it’s still 100 degrees out! Crazy, crazy.~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Today is Daddy’s birthday! I’ve been thinking really hard about gift ideas for him. Should I get Daddy a shiny new squeaky ball? Or maybe he’d like a box of yummy treats? Or perhaps I should try to catch a cuddly Rabbit Friend for him from the backyard? Ooh yeah, I bet he’d like that!
Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!
~Happy Tuesday, friends! Wow, Jett looks like he is ready to paaarty!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Just discovered an awesome loophole to that whole No Doggie on the Furniture nonsense! It doesn’t technically count as sitting on the couch… if I sit on top of somebody who is already sitting on the couch! Score one for the brilliant doggie!
Incredibly proud of myself for being so resourceful!
~Happy Tuesday, friends! Doggies can be such creative creatures when they are determined enough!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Our air conditioner quit working. Momma’s car is refusing to start. Daddy’s motorcycle is out of whack. And the refrigerator sounds like an aircraft preparing for takeoff. You know, I’m suddenly even more grateful than usual to be a doggie instead of a human. Yeesh!
I got 99 problems, but being a human ain’t one…
~Happy Tuesday, friends!~
Where does the time go?
Today marks Comically Quirky’s 4th anniversary!
Which is certainly reason to celebrate.
But I’m not going to lie-
This has been one of the most challenging years of my entire life.
And unfortunately, my writing has suffered immensely for it.
The frustrating disparity of needing to write for clarity and peace…
But lacking the clarity and peace to write…
It’s not a pretty cycle.
Thoughts and ideas constantly swirl around in my mind…
Yet refuse to come together to form anything remotely eloquent or coherent.
Let alone witty and humorous.
It’s aggravating.
And disheartening.
Especially when the words always used to flow so easily.
Somewhere along the way, this blog unexpectedly transitioned to a full-scale Dog Blog.
And so my gratitude goes out to The Bigly Bestest Doggie for single-handedly (or would that be single-pawedly?) keeping Comically Quirky afloat in the interim as I strive to get back on track.
But I’m especially grateful to all of you for sticking with me.
You’re the best.
I will get back on track…
One of these days.
And that is a promise.
~Thank you all for sticking with me and cheering on The Bigly Bestest Doggie as he’s temporarily taken center stage on Comically Quirky. If you’re feeling adventurous and need some quirky humor to brighten your day, I invite you to check out my very first post, The Journey to No Man’s Land. For anyone who might be dealing with tough times and feeling like they’re endlessly treading water just to stay afloat- Hang in there. Things will get better. Always have faith that no matter how fierce the storm, the sun will one day shine again.~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Found this sweet little gem while walking through the neighborhood with Momma. Guess we all need a reminder to slow down and take the time to truly notice and appreciate the small joys that are right there in front of us. So stop and smell the roses… and the rocks, too!
Even the tiniest token of kindness can brighten someone’s day, so don’t forget to pay it forward every chance you get!
~Happy Tuesday, friends! And in case you were wondering, Jett did, in fact, consider eating that precious rock. Guess he thought it was ‘sweet’ in all the right ways. Haha!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: This summer heat is just not motivating. I don’t want to play fetch. I don’t want to chase birds. I don’t even want to thrash around the yard like a beached whale. And I usually love thrashing around! It’s gonna be a long summer…
Summer heat… Bleh.
~Happy Tuesday, everyone! Hope you’re managing to stay cool… or warm, for all our friends in the southern hemisphere.~
