And in a blink of an eye we are at 2017. Things I couldn't have imagined happening 5 years ago include:
* Pepper worming her way into the hearts of all my humans and well, even me.
I wouldn't go as far as to call us besties but I'd say we are pretty tight. I mean, I'd put us above the partnership of Simon and Garfunkel but definitely below Thelma and Louise - you won't see me driving off a cliff with her.
* Me getting all fuzzy. I'm not quite sure when this happened. It kind of just crept up on me, it's almost like I woke up one day, caught my reflection in the mirror and I could hardly recognise the dog looking back at me. I seemed to have developed a fuzz all around my face. Now they call me "The Little Hobo Dog That Could" at home. Joke's on them though, I can see myself spinning my character into a bestselling children's book!
* Donald Trump as president.
Let's not beat around the Bush here (pun intended), as a politically aware dog, the biggest shock to my system was saying President Trump and knowing that in 2017, this actually means something and it isn't a joke. I kept a close eye during the 2016 election campaign and while I see a lot of myself in Clinton - under appreciated competent female who may not know how to have fun (but fun doesn't steer the country out of an opiate addiction crisis or help with stamping out ISIS or improve relations with other countries - hello North Korea, Syria, Iran and pretty much, the rest of the world!), I'm actually a Bernie Sanders dog. I don't know, it could be his socialist leaning policies but I think it has more to do with the fact that his hair reminds me of my fuzzy face! But in the face of the Trump era it has taught me one thing - anything is possible. So I am going to consider running for political office, I have strong views on taxation (tax credits for people with pets. I think we can agree that in this day and age, pets are family!), migration (it really should be easier for pets to travel with their humans!), universal health care (without a doubt, everybody should be covered by universal healthcare and this includes pets with pre-existing condition. We cannot make this a choice, the only way it'll work is if everybody buys into it.). So Vote Vicky for 2020!

This is us at a doggie event. She made quite an entrance by
pooping at the moment we got there. -_-'

Deep in thought as per usual.
I know it looks like I'm asleep but I assure you that
this is how I formulate my thoughts best.
