Good morning, friends ☕ ☕ 💞 💞 🐕 🐕
we have not checked the news, we're just out here being irresponsible
Funny game chaos moment:
I would post a screenshot, but NVDA wouldn't show the cursor context — so here's the chaos in words instead.
I had Infini-Crawl open (a browser incremental roguelike: https://games.buddywagner.com/InfiniCrawl/InfiniCrawl.html).
Squeaker, my dog, climbed on my lap and stood on the Enter key while my cursor was over a skeleton key in my inventory.
Result: about 20 popup dialogs in a row, all saying, “There is nothing here to unlock.”
Squeaker became a context-agnostic automated system.

Yesterday, I learned two shocking things that really shocked me....1 - the coyotes around here won't viciously attack your dog, but rather play with your dog in a happy fun way! (my neighbour tells me), and 2 - this WILD born, Northern Manitoba, mix breed who is an absolute nightmare of death to any squirrel who should ever run too slow (never happens), upon seeing a neigbour's dog, will run away as fast as possible like a scaredy-cat and leave you there to defend yourself!
Summer woke up with an upset stomach.
Sometimes she manages to eat something she probably shouldn't.
My husband heard her making funny, not funny, noises and ran out the front door into the rain with her. He forgot to don some shoes first.
Needless to say he comforted her until she felt better.
Poor dear.
So glad she is back to perky and ate a healthy breakfast.
These two are truly the best of friends.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Summer's jobs at our house are varied and hard to describe with one title.
She is the Director of Happiness, Herder of Slippers and Foot Warmer in Chief.
When her pal needs his slippers, socks or a hat she is on it. It doesn't even matter where they're hiding.
She knows all.
Nothing makes her happier than being helpful.

Good morning, friends ☕ ☕ 🐕 🐕 💞 💞
They are concerned about today's schedule, but honestly it's not too bad.
Harley's got a stick. (don't worry, it's not actually wood, but a rather thick plant stem, it's more chewy than splintery)
Well, we bin and gone and dun a fing.
There was a family in Penrith (NSW, Australia) whose lease wasn't renewed—the usual story when a rental hike is happening—and they were getting desperate to find a home for their dog, a kelpie cross.
Since we already have a kelpie and a kelpie-cross, it seemed only natural...
The son brought the dog out to us on his regular trucking route, and he (the dog, not the son) meshed with our two girls quickly. Well behaved, trained, desexed, and travels fine (the dog; can't vouch for the son).
So, uh, anyway, we now have three dogs.
Meet _Tank_, the newest addition to our travelling menagerie.
*EDIT* We've worked out Tank is a kelpie/huntaway cross. A good mix.
Summer knows something's up this morning. Her mobile groomer will be showing up soon. I hope she has some magic that can help Summer with the small spot of tree pitch she managed to get in her fur. She does love her groomer.
Today is a catch up around the house day before a trip to San Francisco tomorrow for medical appointments. Summer will stay home with her favorite dog sitter.
Summer asked me to write that she loves you all.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Suki got a bath today. She seems to be a master at getting funky and we've got to bathe her every 4-6 weeks. Our previous Malamute only needed a bath like 1-2 times a year, we were so spoiled with her.
...A quarter hour later the 3 pets are stilll hanging out...

I think Luna was waiting for the red laser dot to appear when I took this. She's a bigger fan of that thing than the cats are!
Working on my New Testament final project from the recliner (feet grounded on a stepstool because anything else = instant nap 😴). Chronic fatigue + occipital neuralgia means this setup is the only way I can focus.
Of course, my dog Squeaker needed his kennel out here so he could see me. He was already in his "pocket" bed, so I bent down to put him in… and Rain, one of our big dogs, took the opportunity to lick me right in the mouth. Twice.
Third try = success. Mom and I laughed so hard. Squeaker's settled now, Rain's proud of herself, and I'm back to writing.

Summer knows when it's coffee time. She parks herself next to my chair and waits.
She carefully walks up on to my lap to soak up even more cuddles before we cook breakfast.
I think she has an insatiable desire for hugs and scritches.
I love this sweet dog to the moon and back.

Tonight’s workout courtesy of Squeaker:
He refused to leave his "pocket" bed, so I had to pick up the whole bundle — dog + bed — and wrestle it through a kennel door just wide enough for the bed. Eleven pounds of pure Min Pin dead weight, and I was out of breath by the end. 🐾💪

Uhmm. Just for fun:
I just made edible eye glasses for my coworker's puppy rottweiler who has "eaten" several pairs of reading glasses of his owner this fall. I'll give them as a gift tomorrow.
Material: baloney and frankfurters.
Is this the weirdest thing I've ever done?
Probably not, but very close.
Scrap material will be stuffed in a weird omelette kinda thing tomorrow and consumed above the wind by yours truly.
