“To take the dog for a walk safely, you have to pay attention to the dog, and to the surroundings—people, squirrels, other dogs… It’s a lot like multitasking.”
Jackie

Ashley in the early morning sun. #dogsofmastodon

The sun shining through the patio fence cast almost zebra-like, or tiger-like stripes on Ashley. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

One of the best things about cats was that they seemed to understand when you were sick. They’d sit on your lap all day and be completely undemanding.
This is so not true of dogs. #dogsofmastodon

It’s a pretty narrow strip early in the morning, but Ashley has found her place in the sun. #dogsofmastodon

Forty-eight hours ago we picked Ashley up from SportsVet boarding and brought her home. Today she very insistently led me the six or eight blocks back to SportsVet.
I guess she liked it okay. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

I was explaining to Ashley why she doesn’t get coffee, even though it’s wonderful and she’d probably like it. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon

🎶 And then I saw her snout, now I’m a believer. Not a doubt of trace in my mind. Then I saw her snout. Oooooooo! I’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her if I tried… 🎶 #dogsofmastodon

Yesterday was Jackie’s birthday, and she and Ashley came to my Esperanto meeting. Jackie and I had beers (the Hazy U of IPA), but poor Ashley had to make due with water. (And some of Tony’s potato chips.) #dogsofmastodon
