1. This master hunter:

2. This answer to an age-old question:

 

3. This guy, who just wants to join in:

4. This excellent and upstanding member of the community:

5. This good boy:

6. This source of infinite love:

7. This perfectly round ball:

8. This supportive team:

9. This platonic form of a dog:

10. This smug trickster:

11. This master of disguise:

12. This bouncer:

13. This perpetrator of a perfect crime:

14. This dog, who’s not mad, just disappointed:

15. This guy who just wants some chips:

16. This extremely patient but unconvincing lion:

17. This concerned dog:

18. And finally, this noble beast:

Your best friend is always there to support you.

They smile…

There was much concern for Sam the cat (who thinks he’s a dog) after he was MIA at our lesson on chimken yesterday. We would like to assure you that he’s is doing well after being bamboozled by the poplets. He’s back on his paws, demanding chimken, posing for photos and still thinking he’s a dog…. ? #popsquad #squadgoals

Reflecting back to the time we did yoga at the river. ??‍♂️?? When I first posted this (one year ago) I didn’t know how to do downward dog on command, so Mom lunged at me, like she wanted to play, knowing I’d do this pose in response. ? Now, she just says “Yoga” and I immediately go into a downward dog pose. ? #nomorelungingatme #imissthelungestho #theywerefunnytowatch #namaste
