my parents just got back from vacation and my mom befriended an octopus????  she scared off a small shark (because you don’t want them near you in the water) and realized the thing it had been circling was a little octopus, which then came over and stayed near her feet for a few minutes.  I’ve never been so jealous in my entire life

she didn’t even realize it was an octopus at first because it was pretending to be a starfish.  i love my new octopus sibling.

I’m glad you’re all so supportive of my newest family member

most blessed social interaction of the day? there was a dog in the car next to me at a stop light and his owner noticed me cooing over him so she rolled the window down and i rolled mine down and she shouted “HIS NAME IS CHECKERS!” and i said “HI CHECKERS!” and checkers, that amazingly good boy, lit up like a christmas tree and wagged his beautiful tail
