      The weather was really nice today , so I set up the hammock. Then the doodle decided to hop in with me.
      My golden doodle sitting on my lap in a hammock looking directly into the camera with her tongue out. Her expression makes you think she’s a muppet that’s come to life.

      Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.
