If “What’s the Meme” encourages us to tell a fun story by starting to put image and text together, remixing a frame from a show, and revealing a little about our personality, Selfie with a Pet is a super easy approach to sharing a slice of life. Here’s mine!
Ceres and me on our early Saturday morning walk in the woods, our weekend morning ritual. It’s one of the few opportunities I have to let him roam off leash.
Like many families, ours adopted a shelter dog during the pandemic. My wife and I have had dogs since the mid-90s, but our last dog died of old age about three years ago, leaving us with three kids and three cats. Then a cat died – old age. Then two children left for college. Then the pandemic hit, with everyone locked down at home – including the college kids. We picked up Ceres sometime last summer, maybe in July.
He’s 85 pounds of goofy mixed breed with the deepest bark imaginable. And I think the selfie captures him pretty well.
