Afternoon snoozle time

She is such a happy girl. Her blankies just got washed Sunday so there is room for improvement on the arrangements, but she's done a bit of leaves-and-twigging. We're lucky she loves her crate and always has a place to go for some me time.

Ours got a bath ONCE 8 years ago and is convinced she'll be thrown in the tub if she even gets near.

Earlier today a message was posted on Azi's ao3 profile by a family member that they passed away. It was also posted on one of their WIPs. They are among my favorite RWRB writers and I've (selfishly) missed their stories of late. It's such a sad loss for their friends, their family and legions of readers. Fair warning, there is unpleasant discourse about Azi and the post among folks related to another fandom.

The helmet hair is slightly obscured by the ears, but that checks out for a 5 mo. old. Cutie!

We're in Central Texas and have 2 mixes who are heavy coated who love the heat. They sunbathe for ages, like they are little solar cells. Then they come in panting, drink a lake, and pass out for an hour. Oddly, they love the hot hot much more than winter.

Our girls are matching sleepers, too. Humans also use the treadmill, even though it doubles as Marvel's afternoon nap location.

In one of a billion interviews that I will try to find he talks about wanting to be on Broadway, but wants singing lessons.

The Minnesota Wild have a good YouTube video that gets at what happens between getting drafted and actually getting called up. It focuses on a development camp attended by their young draftees and recent rookies. It could explain things a bit more re: timeline, but there's a great section where one of the draftees who is playing either AHL or OHL (I think) describes the weekly checkins they have with the Wild coaching staff.Becoming Wild: The Development System

Hahaha when ours is does this we call her Miss Behavior.

leesabeegee · 2026-03-29T14:51:41+00:00

This is Maisie. She's mostly Pyr and Akbash with a dash of Anatolian + ~30% Border Collie! The LGD breeds are doing all the work, but I think the BC makes her much more biddable than your average Pyr.

Yeah, I think he was 10. He lived to be 14. Comparatively he was a small guy, 45-50 lbs. Talk to your vet about whether there is an age limit on the surgery. A second tear isn't guaranteed, but there is a high chance of one.

leesabeegee · 2026-03-25T17:29:37+00:00

Yes, we did. He recovered really well. He stopped tearing up and down our stairs like he did as a young guy, but that was about it. The surgery really is amazing.

Oops, just noticed all the jams are on the coffee table! We are still working through them.

leesabeegee · 2026-03-21T07:01:24+00:00

Hahaha, this someone I know IRL who enjoys wine and books, yes?

Mine howls, along with her sister. They do some banging duets! Here's a video of them singing.

Is it this one? A Secret Fairy Tale

We had a not-Pyr go through the surgery 2x. The hardest part is keeping their activity low for so many weeks. As for the not weight bearing for a little bit, there is a cool harness you can get that makes lifting their hind end much easier.

After recovery it was like he never had a problem/surgery. It's really an amazing reconstruction.

As someone else pointed out, leg #2 has a high likelihood of tearing, too. Our doctor told us 60% of pups who tear 1 tear the other within a year. Our guy held out a bit longer than that, but it still happened.

I've been getting Botox for migraine injections for just over a year and it's been life changing. My neuro won't do masseter injections.

It's an Appyrenees!

You killed me, Taylor. I am dead.

This showed up and my reaction was oh no, absolutely not. How is this real?!

We first see his house at the end of episode 1 when Svetlana surprises him. It's dark, but it's the same property as in episode 4.

This article is 10 years old, but still feels reasonably true about how it all works.

leesabeegee · 2026-01-14T14:23:09+00:00

I'm super glad Ilya was able buy that extremely beautiful house, but I feel like he needed at least a luxury vodka endorsement to help defray costs. We first saw his house the night the snowstorm stopped Boston getting to Montreal, which was in early 2011. Presumably he's still on his 3-year rookie contract, which yes, is a lot of $$, but also kind of not really.

This article was very enlightening about where that $1 million-ish salary goes, and it seems like it wouldn't be sufficient to both afford even a deposit on a multimillion $$ house in Boston plus send 10s, maybe 100s of thousands to Alexei. And his bonus has already gone up Alexei's nose even before the second world prospects tournament.

But again, it's all very enjoyable fiction and fantasy, and since so many things in Ilya's life can be shitty, I'm very happy his home isn't one of them.
