Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: Still waiting to receive some orders!
Weekend plans: I’m hoping to make a push to write extra posts this weekend as my April looks like it will be a bit busier than usual (with life, non-blog stuff!).

This week's mellan photo/video...

Share your pet photos to the Temptalia Pets flickr group!

Mellan was always very, very tolerant and patient! Not that I had him wearing costumes for hours and hours, but he always let me dress him up in ridiculous outfits/costumes/head accessories when he was a young pup all the way until he was merely young-at-heart. Older dogs can sometimes get less patient with certain things, but he was so food-motivated that he’d gladly dress up and sit (or lie) for photos knowing that food was around the horizon. I couldn’t pick a favorite costume at all, since he looked so good in all of them! 🙂

The photo of him in the tiger-striped, over-sized tie is from a trip my husband (then-boyfriend) and I took with my family. It was over a decade ago, and it was the first time my family had spent real time with my husband (then-boyfriend). I’ve always loved this photo with the tie because he was mid-yawn but looked so ferocious! Couldn’t have asked him to hit a better pose.

P.S. — Loved him in his Harry Potter costumes, but I wanted to note that JK Rowling has been a total and utter disappointment with her transphobia in the last two years.
