Focus on Kifl paws.

Kifl takes advantage of a pause in the downpour.

"She's like a bunch of flowers!"

Kifl is recovering from surgery well, and finally got her cone off this morning! So she's back to using us as pillows. It's nice.

Kifl receives the attention she is due. Photo by (and with) @[email protected].

A blep (featuring @[email protected])

Doze/trance

I was going to sit here, but Kifl just looked so contented! Then I remembered I can just rotate her wholesale. It's nice having a small dog.

Some recent Kifl poses.

Kifl has decided that snow is VERY BAD. She did eventually pee, but my gods it took a lot of work.

Kifl is in another of her in-between states on the sofa, this time propped up on a blanket and lying against @[email protected]. Her eyes are open, but she is intermittently snoring.

Every now and then one of her legs twitches, or vibrates for about half a second.

Kifl accepts bellyrubs graciously, almost regally.

Kifl is so, so nice to come home to.

A mass of affectionate dog.

If the Kifl photos have been coming a bit slower lately, it's not because she's lying on the sofa any less intensely...

Babydog.

Kifl comes out of a long stretch slowly.

Disorientation dog.

Full frontal wauzer.

Hug dog.

Oh hi there!

Kifl wants to make sure we haven't forgotten her cafe order again.

Kifl hears a sound!

This evening's Kifl.

Absent friend.

Kifl, on the sofa again, just now.

Every now and then she does a stretch where she briefly taps her back feet together. I managed to photograph it, but you might just need to take my word about how cute it is, unless you're very good at making sense of photos of dogs with lots of dark fur, doing strange poses.

This evening's Kifl.

I think Kifl may have a concern. #relatable

What is this "walk" of which you speak?

Stretch.

Relaxed Kifl.

A paw.

Kifl is approaching peak hairiness.

Kifl recreates yesterday's pose, but with less hair.

Please.

Schnauze.

Kifl is an old Arabic word meaning 'fold'. It is unclear whether her immediate namesake, Vanillekipferl, is cognate.

Kifl is SO NEAT.
