Here's my Beastie Bestie Loki outside enjoying today's snowfall. She's been by near-constant companion for over 8 years now. She's just as versatile as me in that she can be a couch potato as well as full of limitless energy. She's the best. pic.twitter.com/tJLreeEd4n

This is Sir Pickles, who we got at the age of 3 for my teen daughter who's always wanted a dachshund. Why do I love him? Because he loves her more than anything. He'd choose her over bacon.

Yeah, it's great how this worked out. pic.twitter.com/dxLZr2Vi0J
