While walking Ashley, noticed that a ladybug had landed on my hand. Stayed there long enough to get a picture.

“Be a good dog. Don’t boop my laptop with your snout,” I said.
“What should she boop it with?” asks Jackie.


Ashley (just visible behind Jackie) likes shifting from the sunny places to the shady places every few minutes. Jackie, on the other hand, enjoys sitting in the sun (as I do). #dogsofmastodon
The highest and best use for day lilly leaves is chewing on them, according to Ashley. #dogsofmastodon

After several days when the weather was too crappy for either me or Ashley to want to take a long walk, it was slightly better today, and I managed to get the pupster out for a pretty long walk.

Ashley doesn’t indicate needing to go out by scratching at the door. Instead, she boops my laptop with her nose.
A trifle annoying, but today it got me out right on time to see the sunrise.

The equinox is about one week off, but already the sun is rising nearly due east. Ashley appreciates it too. #dogsofmastodon 🐕

Ashley is pretty good at fetch—better than any other dog I’ve ever had—but after taking a treat for dropping the ball, she is somewhat inclined to snatch the ball back up again.

My activity score of 100 due purely to walking the dog. Well, and sleeping better since getting a dog.
