First, I want everybody to know that she doesn't usually behave this well around birds. The geese are way, way closer than they seem in the photo. I'm baffled that she didn't try to run after them. She's also surprisingly fine with being in the water now? Her weird position is actually her thinking about sitting down. Like ma'am what?
I'm still butt hurt about Amazon so today, we went to our local pet store chain hoping that we'd find anything from a small business. Turns out it's going to be quite the challenge... and what's even sillier is that most of the stuff they carry can be found on Amazon at a much more affordable price.
Then, I thought : ok I'm going to try some treats from their private-label brand. I'm shocked to find that the second ingredient is ... sugar. I'm now on a heck of a mission #DogsOfMastodon
Okay, now, full disclaimer. I, for some reason, thought I didn't need to bring my camera to the cabin. Why? Because I'm some sort of genius, I don't know. So let's say that the photoshoot with a phone was an adventure. Most photos came out silly so... Sigh... Let's go
For those of you who sometimes post on #DogsOfMastodon and #DogsOfFediverse and think that maybe they shouldn't bother because you don't see many people interacting with it, think again! They might not interact with your posts but they definitely see them!
I'm missing good metrics for Mastodon so I get them however I can, which includes links. When I post an Amazon link, I can see how many of you clicked on it (click away, I get no money from clicks). 1/2
From my (very limited) data, for every 25 interactions on a post with a link, I get 1500 clicks on the link. That's a lot of people! So yes, perhaps you don't see many people interacting with your posts but keep posting! Post when you're happy! Post when you're sad! They might be quiet about it but somebody sees your dog and it makes their day!
Edit: actually appropriate for #Mondog as well 2/2
