I wanted to share something happy today and this seems to fit the bill.
All dogs are special to their owners who love them, who have seen into their hearts. So when I look at your lovely dog in a photograph I only see a small part of this special animal. It's a bit like an iceberg. So much is hidden beneath the surface.
This is my dog, Joni.When I look at her I see the heart shining through in her eyes. I see a smile.
Happy Monday all. #EllieKPosts#borderCollie#dog#Mondog#DogsOfMastodon
Still have no idea how to get followers on #mastodon. Teach me your ways! Follow me if you like #retrogaming, #80s / #90s#nostalgia, #tech / #cyber related stuff, and #dog pics! Keep me away from Twitter, I beg of you.
Seeing how unhappy #ApriCat has been, confined to my tiny apartment, longing for the outside, and spending most of the day alone (because I'm working), has made me rethink about how we approach pet ownership. Sometimes, animals are meant to wander, even if it means that their lives are shorter as a result.
What do you think?
Ps: Please no lectures about why we need to keep pets indoors 😅 I already know it!!
I saw this lovely #dog yesterday in the metro. He was very friendly and he wanted me to touch him and he licked my hands. He had only one eye. #dogsofmastodon#suomimastodon#finland
As the summer is winding down there are still some mornings that look like this. Joni was quite young in this photograph, but the intensity never wanes.
Make it as good a day as you can!
This was my gal on day 5 of TPLO (**tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) **post-op. I was an unequivocal emotional wreck & she was high as a kite.
Trying to get all her scheduled pain meds (too many to mention) into a non-cooperative, traumatized clenched #dogs mouth (with a sprained thumb) was like trying to dispense meds with a Sissy Hankshaw thumb.
Domestic bliss at #LikaLodge : It’s #raining. I made a bed for the #Dog. #Bike is here too, covered a bit. #Fireplace & #tea. This morning I had breakfast at sunrise, under #Lipa / #Linden . Earlier I made a room-divider from a #patchwork curtain I got at #DeGrowth conference last year. Memories & fantasies… plus enjoying the moment!
We almost lost Koda last week due to acute pancreatitis.
He's back home since Sunday and as active as always!
But he's taking a lot of medications, and he has to soon remove his spleen (w/ a golf ball sized tumour), and with his age the surgery is very risky, but needed 😢.
He's turning 15 this September.
I never posted this publically: I take a photo per day with Koda. I have more than 5000 daily Koda photos :D
As an #author I often assume knowledge that I should ask about. So, here's the ask: As an average person, if you saw a woman in an urban situation with a #wolf (it is a wolf but nobody is saying it is a wolf), would you assume it was a #dog?
Please boost for maximum sample size.
Feel free to comment if you have experience with telling the difference or studying #wolves.
This is a robbery! Everyone show me your puppies!
Your current puppy or your dog as a puppy :)
