Monday Musings ~ May 4, 2026

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Monday smile

And so the ongoing battle between the 80 lb. quilt continues. I swear this dog rather enjoys ‘busting a move.’ On top of me.

Here’s hoping all your moves this week are pawsome. Happy Monday.

Live, love, bark! đŸŸ

  2. Dale – Boucherville – I love cooking, entertaining, writing, photography, walk/hiking. The best part of blogging is connecting with other bloggers and creating real conversations and relationships and having them feel something from what I offer.

    I have a fleecy throw that I use for my legs when I watch TV. The cats love it. When I go to bed, I fold it neatly and toss it on top of the sofa. In the morning it’s in a bunch on the seat. I suspect some sort of orgy was going on overnight. Both cats love it so I have no idea who did it!

    1. Tails Around the Ranch – Denver, CO – The inspiration behind this blog was one knuckleheaded Standard Poodle named Sam but is now inspired by a House Pony-Wilson. I'm Monika, the upright. Living in the Denver metro area, we post about dogs, rescue and nature. So grab your favorite beverage and be prepared to howl along with our adventures. And don't forget to bark your 'pup-tacular' comment; we'd love to hear from you.

      That’s too funny. Even though we don’t have a cat, Wilson always tries to blame “the cat” for anything that goes wrong. I think Elsa is channeling through him. Happy Monday, Kate.

      Oh yes
that double dog blink which indicated they’re either stubborn as all get out or deaf. In Wilson’s case, I’m not sure which is more accurate. 😉 Wishing you a pawsome Monday, Eliza.
