@BellaShihTzuAce Very nice Bella!

This is me after a trim!

@BellaShihTzuAce Hudad is doing his best Bella, please be patient with him. And tell him I like his new car!

Happy Tuesday pals! Some of you may have noticed, I'm getting a little "shaggy" lately! I blame Hudad! Anyway today is the furcut day! Have a great day

@MichaelBuble Here's my little fellow Casey!

It’s international pet day. Technically coco’s my only pet but I’d risk it all for the rest of em! — Hoy es el Día Internacional de las Mascotas. Técnicamente, Coco es mi única mascota, ¡pero lo arriesgaría todo por las demás!

@BellaShihTzuAce So glad to have you back Bella. I missed you! That trip was exactly what you and Hudad deserved.

So, Hudad and me are back from our lovely trip to Cumbria. We stayed in a delightful cottage and enjoyed some beautiful weather. I even paddled in the river! There was a beautiful white horse called Marco in the field each day. I'm happy to be back in my own home now.

@melanie_korach Happy Birthday Melanie! 🎂

51 came upon me fast, yet today it’s here & it’s the age I’m supposed to be. While I have thoughtfully closed old chapters & bravely opened new ones, I’m proud that I did it by being myself. Today I celebrate being me! Please do a random act of kindness to help me celebrate!🎊🎉

@John_Dabell The Comeback Tour, I love it John! For me, you will always be The Comeback Kid. 🌞

Fresh air, open road, and the quiet satisfaction of putting one foot in front of the other. This is my Comeback Tour, countryside edition and 18,000 steps clocked so that means my lungs are working again!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

@Reil76 @lmbartlettpear Hi Wayne, fellow Canadian now following you! 🇨🇦

Hey Canada 🇨🇦 Looking to connect with more people across the country. If you’re Canadian, hit follow and I’ll follow you back. I need more Canada in my feed! Drop a 🇨🇦 in the comments so I know you’re from here

@Julius_Kim What a touching story! As much as I may not like our reliance on social media and all things tech, it does come in handy at times. So glad you two reconnected.

As some of you know, we are in London right now visiting 21 as he finishes up studying a semester abroad. What some of you may not know is that 33 years ago, I too studied abroad in London during my junior year of college. I studied at King’s College for a semester, and I can honestly say that studying abroad was one of the most impactful things in my life. Our family didn’t have a lot of money. We never went on vacations growing up, and although I grew up in Chicago, looking back, I had a small world view. I remember landing in London with a cocky attitude knowing I was “an American.” It wasn’t until I found myself in a dorm room late at night with four other guys I had just met that I realized, “I wasn’t in Kansas anymore.” I felt my swagger start to slowly leak out of my body as each of these blokes teased me at great length about being an American and made fun of the way I pronounced words. Oh, I fought back valiantly, but it was hopeless. I was outnumbered, and I remember the exact moment when I came to the realization that I was now the minority and not on my home turf anymore. Either I was going to realize and accept this, or it was going to be a very long semester. Well, even though I was still young and immature. I understood the assignment, and decided to embrace (not fight) the role of contemplative learner, rather than the all-knowing learn-ed that I thought I was coming to England to be. One of the first people I met when I got to my dorm/hall was Arjun. Arjun was a gregarious chap who was extremely smart and chatty, but like me, was in a new environment and nervously just trying to make friends. We hit it off right away, and he and I (along with others) proceeded to have the time of our lives for the next few months. It was a different time back then, and when the end of the semester arrived, we didn’t have cell phones or really even email to facilitate staying in touch. Long distance calls were expensive, and I still didn’t have any money. We would have to rely on good ole pen and paper to stay in touch, so Arj and I did what so many other 20 year old young men did at the time, we shook hands, hugged, and parted ways wishing each other luck in the future—an that was it. We went off to live our lives with a different world view and a lot of great memories, but not really thinking we would ever see each other again. Fast forward 33 years. Through the power of the internet, computers, cell phones, and LINKEDIN—I’ll be damned. I found Arj, and today, for the first time since we bid each other farewell 33 years ago, we saw each other again. Being short on time, we allotted ourselves two hours to catch up, but by the time we finished reminiscing, laughing, philosophizing, and scheming, five hours had past. Five hours. Five hours sounds like a long time, but when you’re trying to make up for 33 years of missed phone calls, text messages, condolences, and happy birthdays, it’s nothing. I’m so grateful I got the chance to see my old friend, Arj, today. He really was exactly the same guy I remembered, and he said the same. We’re just older, grayer versions of each other. In these crazy times, we have to appreciate the special moments that are given to us, and today was definitely one of them. We’ve vowed to stay in touch and to see each other again one day. Until then, I’ll just have to hang on to this great day..

@1pcornwell I remember get a new coat, hat and shoes every Easter!

My brother Jim & me in our Easter finest. Wishing all of you a blessed and beautiful day. ❤️

@BellaShihTzuAce @AdsDogCharlie Happy Easter to you and Hudad Bella!

Happy Easter pals! I'm about to enjoy one of my Easter biscuits sent to me by @AdsDogCharlie Thank You Eddie!

@BellaShihTzuAce Oh dear, I often wonder how Bella is reacting to the loss of her beautiful Humum. Peter, I am glad you will be getting away for a much deserved break. I will miss your posts here but understand that you need a break. Take care of yourself my friend. 💞

From Hudad... Eight weeks on from Barbara’s passing and Bella is really struggling to understand why Barbara isn't here. She cries when I go into our favourite cafe. She follows me from room to room. She often has sad eyes, as you will see from her photos. She spends much of the day curled up asleep. As for me? Obviously I miss Barbara every day, and always will. Barbara told me often, to live my life, when she was no longer here, and thanks to family and special friends, I do that. This coming week Bella and I are going to a cottage in The Lake District. We will take a break from social media until next weekend. Sending love to you all.

@autcareandshare Happy Easter from Canada! 🇨🇦

Happy Easter Everyone.

@John_Dabell Good for you John!

Bath was an important first step on my Comeback Tour and it's great to be doing things again! Back on the road again in a few weeks!

Our 21st wedding anniversary today!

@dachshund_heave Happy Birthday! 🎂

Today is my birthday. Wish me a good one❤️

Dear Toronto Blue Jays fans at Rogers Centre: Thank you for (mostly) playing it classy tonight, and resisting the temptation to boo the American anthem. While I'm as livid at America as you are, I'm glad you didn't. Because I noticed some American players on our team were singing the Canadian anthem, with reverence, and solemn respect. Your decision to take the high road made it easier for them to do that. You created a beautiful, powerful moment of mutual respect. You reminded me our problem is with Donald Trump, and not most Americans. Bravo. #BlueJays

@BellaShihTzuAce I can not think of a better way to honour Barbara. She was a lovely lady taken too soon by a condition that must be eradicated. There is hope in research that your fundraising efforts support. Thank you. 💞

From Hudad... When my incredible wife lost her fight against ovarian cancer on 7 Feb my world and that of others fell apart. To see beautiful Barbara go through this illness, is without doubt the most difficult period of my life. The support that I have received from virtual and actual friends and family has been incredible. Just 7 weeks to the day since Barbara's passing, we have raised, with your support, over £10k for @OvarianCancerUK to help eradicate this disease. However, this is only the beginning. We are determined to continue, ad infinitum, raising funds to achieve this aim. In April I will start to "Cycle In Her Name" hoping to cycle 1000 miles before October 27, this would have been Barbara's 69th birthday. In July, the family, age range 6 to 69, will cycle miles around the beautiful Island of Cumbrae in Scotland, to raise more funds in memory of Barbara. As always our adventures will be posted for you to follow. This could not be done without your fantastic support. Thank You!

@MooreintheAM Can he not afford to hire a driver?

Honestly, I’ve only ever been involved in one car wreck. What’s with Tiger Woods?

@John_Dabell She is lovely. You both look so happy together. 💞

Our gorgeous girl is back from university and we are thrilled!

I'm so sick of him. I'm sick of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm sick of his lies and his disgusting amorality. I'm sick of his face, his voice, his smirk. I'm sick of his inability to say even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate ever. I'm just so sick of him
