Whatever giant gremlin inhabited Benson after his sponge down can kiss my ass.
He went from docile stinky schmoopie to food foraging menace who almost knocked a mug of coffee onto my laptop.
I heard the chaos from the other room and found him slurping up the remaining dregs of my heavily creamed coffee on the floor. Is incidental caffeine bad for dogs?
He later refused to go for a walk (once again turning around in his harness as soon as the front door shut behind us.) He sat in protest until we went back inside and I fed him.
He's snoring now.
Asshole.

#BlackJoy reporting from the Bay area:
it is a balmy sunny 75 and I have walked Benson through his favorite spots,
chatted extensively with 3 neighbors (oh the tea I have gathered!),
gave doggo a robust breakfast and post meal mommy scritches (he likes a good rub down after eating),
made a probiotic smoothie for middle aged gut health,
and all I want is to live my best Lady Bachelor life and enjoy this incredibly gorgeous day.These assholes of Global Jankery won't stand in my way today!

The disappointment on Benson's face when he realized the Heau was not here to play with him.
Next time, old buddy.
The next Heau will play with you. -
the walk with Benson was so good!
cool rockridge breezes, no cane (balance! mobility returned!), a good pace (not a whole lot of pulling from El Tanko), 3 poops, coffee+people watching; we helped a homeless lady; we ignored other dogs and chased 1 bird.
also, we minded our own business. excellent!!

Needless to say, we got wet.

Benson sat on my foot, farted, and belched simultaneously.
A Merry Christmas to all!!

CW: Mellow shenanigans
Had a very cool experience with Joyfriend A last night. A night of snacks, music, low lights, headrubs and scritches, talking about the ethics of editing the human genome to alleviate human suffering (he's pro; I've got questions), some cuddling and then cooling off in the night air.

#BensonUpdate Benson Dubois is beginning to show a preference for being inside. He's more and more reluctant to come with me when I need to pop outside quickly for whatever reason. He just grumps, looks at the leash in my hand, and closes his eyes.Heh. My plan is working. He's getting so tired of being with Mommy he wants his space. Heh.

Joyfriend A: Do you want to own me?Me: I'm #SoPo. Ownership is...heavy. But fostering....I could do that. Yes. You will be like my foster kitten.
Joyfriend A: [wriggling happily]
Everyone wants to be on my leash. I've only got room for one. And he's a thicc boi schmoopie face.

2 miles with Benson this morning.
Sweaty but feeling really good. If you saw or heard a Black woman singing Stevie Nicks as she walked her dog through Rockridge, that was me.
I have to be on a Black Women's Equal Pay Day zoom later today so I intend to enjoy this morning fully.
Let's get it!

Benson spent the afternoon under my chair chomping carrots so I'm going to take him for a Poop the Carrots Out walk and then we're going to have dinner and I'm going to eat ice cream and watch a murder mystery.

A slow day full of naps, snacks, Murdoch Mysteries (because I'm 80), and playing with Benson who just wants to hang out outside and eat croissants like he's a French café denizen.
After our pre-dinner walk, I was apparently taking too long chatting with a neighbor because Benson, who'd been lounging at my feet, just got up and trudged upstairs without me.
He cracks me up.
I suppose I should text one of the Heaux who's been waiting for a date...I've just been enjoying all this me-time. My own company has felt delicious.

I didn't take Benson to daycare today. I was too tired. So I worked from home, had calls all day, and he napped in the sun.
We took a walk around 2.15, stopping for an iced horchata latte, and I chatted with a nice man who admired Benson and showed me pictures of his grandson hanging out with his pittie.
After work, I fixed a cocktail and changed into a caftan to lay out on the couch. Benson came up to me, climbed on the couch and laid his whole weight on me and belched in my face while I struggled to sit up.
This goofball. He looked at me with big eyes and laid his head on my chest while I scratched his scruff.
He's sleeping now and making little bark noises under his breath while the neighbors across the courtyard have game night.
It's the simple things.

Gave facilitative support to a board retreat for 4 hrs -- after a 2.5 hr mgmt mtg. To say I'm dead would be an understatement. And wearing vintage Ferragamo slingbacks all day was ass.
I'm back in my dog clothes, riding the NL over the bridge, and can't wait to see my boi.
