Ollie, the perfect Mini GoldenDoodle. I visited my friend/co-worker in the country (Dobson, NC, about 45 minutes away from me) on Saturday, November 29, 2025. I had a BALL! Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Lily (or as I call her, “Lily Girl.”), a Red Golden Retriever. She and Ollie are Niece and Uncle. LOL! Lily is my friend’s dog, and Ollie is my friend’s parents’ dog. I kept thinking about how Jernee would have had a great time with them, simply lying in the grass and enjoying the sun. Saturday, November 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I swear, this could be the corn field from Children of the Corn. I mean, when you’re in the country, you take photos of corn fields. You just do. LOL! Saturday, November 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
My Snoopy sweater, because YAAAASSSS!!! It made everyone who saw me that day smile. Saturday, November 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Thursday, December 04, 2025, chilling in my dentist’s office, in the waiting area. My dental hygienist, while cleaning my teeth, kept saying, “Your teeth are just so clean, Tre. Goodness! They’re so clean.” Every time I go there, they compliment me on my smile and my teeth. My mouth is actually featured in photos on their website. Lawd, help. I’m particular about my oral hygiene. I’m SUPER DUPER anal retentive. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

In between exams at my Optometrist/Cornea specialist’s office. For those of you who do not know, I have an eye disease called keratoconus, and I am monitored twice per year to continue to keep surgery at bay. GOOD NEWS! The eyes are the same; no changes, and there’s no need for surgery at this time. The hoodie is an item created by Ernio Hernandez, a dope artist & writer, who is in a class all by himself. Dude is out in left field with his art, and I love it! Thursday, December 04, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Have you gotten your copy of Séduire: Serial Tales & Flash Fiction at Lulu in E-Book& Paperback versions, or Amazon in Paperback(only) yet?
I am on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak aboutrecent events with a previous place of employment, as it pertains to racism and discrimination, growth from the transition after resigning from that company, and life’s foibles and overall experiences. I welcome your visit.
I see what you’re doing, and it’s so good for your soul! Visiting people with dogs is almost as good as having your own.
Do you work out daily? We can keep each other accountable, even though we have different styles of workout. Mine is just a full-body walking workout. And counting every. Stinking. Step. Lol!
Wow, Tremaine! I love seeing your daily life through these photos—it really feels like I’m there with you. Ollie and Lily are adorable, and your Snoopy sweater made me smile! Also, congratulations on the great news about your eyes—so relieved for you. Thanks for sharing these little snapshots of joy!
Your beauty is undeniable, and it shines naturally in every photo you share. I feel drawn to you, and I hope, with all sincerity, that I might one day earn the honor of holding the key to your heart. Your kindness is a rare treasure—thank you for making my day a little more beautiful.

What’s funny is the fact that many people in my life have dogs, so I’m pretty much always around them. Even when I had Jernee. Lol.
And I workout at least 3-4 days per week, but I’m now adding in walking along the trail at work on days when the weather isn’t too much to deal with.
Yes! Getting those steps in is important! Keep up the great work!
