Minka, a white-ish Shi Tzu, lies on a fuzzy white blanket. One front paw is visible. She’s looking straight ahead, wondering why she’s been interrupted for a photo shoot.
Self portrait of 4 yr old girl. Some is drawn in purple marker, some in red ink. Body is long, almost rectangular. Short arms and legs are straight lines. Eyes are large open circles and hair is very curly. The rectangle of manila paper it’s drawn on has creased where the artist folded it for keeping in my pocket.
Minka, a smallish white dog, sleeps while lying on a blanket covered cushion. The blanket has a red background with an Asian inspired design. She’s on her right side with her head toward the camera. Her left front leg is stretched out, the other front leg lies flat on the cushion, as do her rear legs. A fluffy pale purple dog bed is by the top of her head; she refuses to sleep in that bed. A white electric cord snakes up the dog bed; she was chilled from walking in the rain, so the hearing pad under the blanket was on.
Original picture of Ghostie as he appeared on the first sighting a few weeks ago. Small white felt ghost shape with a slight smile and outstretched arms. He’s lying in some grass, with oak leaves nearby for scale.
A garden flag blowing in the wind. It has 3 flowers of varying sizes growing on a single pale green stem. The largest flower is a pinky coral and is on the top. The smallest one is the same color but is kind of squished at the bottom. There are 2 blue flowers, one a bit darker than the other on the right with the paler one on the left. The 3 leaves say each say different things, the largest No Kings, the medium says No Fascists, the smallest says No Tyrants. The flowers all have those words plus No Nazis.
Penny, a lavender Boston Terrier sleeps on a fuzzy fluffy maroon blanket. Minka, a white-ish ShiTzu, sleeps with her head on a beige patterned pillow and her butt on the same blanket as Penny. There are, inexplicably, Christmas socks on the blanket as well.
A small white ghost lays in a grassy lawn. It’s made of soft thin foam and wears slight smile on its face with their short ghosty arms outstretched.

Mom and me! I’m wearing my new harness and leash. Mom has her new sparkly earrings on. I was a little camera shy.
A grey gravel roads going down a steep incline and up another incline farther away. There are lots of trees on either side, with pine needles collecting on the verge. Diagonally striped signs of yellow and black mark the lowest point on the road. They indicate the corners of safety beams across a creek below.
Minka, a mostly white ShiTzu dog, rests her head on Ally’s back, pretending Ally is a pillow. But Ally is actually a tiny black, brown, and silver Yorkie. She weighs about 5 pounds, has 2 remaining teeth, is mostly blind, and almost totally deaf.
Nugget, a mostly white 7 year old ShihTzu, sits on a blue throw rug with a white curvy tile design on it. His left side is toward the camera and his face is visible. There’s dark gunk under his left eye because that eye is damaged and he can’t close it; he has surgery to remove the eye this weekend.

Penny, a young Boston Terrier, sits in a shaggy light purple beanbag chair in front of reddish brown cabinet doors. Her body had sunk deep into the chair; only her head is visible. Her ears are light brown and upright. She has a typical Boston’s white down the middle of her face. Her eyes have dark grayish brown markings that are almost vertical and generally lozenge shaped. This gives her an appearance the resembles Pennywise.
A dirty off-white limestone steppingstone has a dark rounded bump in the center of a larger, bigger bump. It might look like a human breast. Sort of.

A beautifully marked black, white, and striped cat lays curled on his side in a cat bed. His soft face is towards the camera and is wearing a rather vacant expression. There’s a white bit of floof on his hip. White front legs dangle over the edge and the entire bowl shape is taken up by his body.
Minka, a small white ShihTzu dog, sits on a gray vinyl floor. Her front paws are almost touching a beach towel with green and white stripes, which is functioning as a bath mat. A pale maple drawer is behind her, and the bottom corner of a glass shower door can be seen on the left side of the photo.
