Ashley lay down on the floor in the bedroom, so I sat down on the floor next to her. She started woofing at me, so I woofed back at her.
She seemed non-plussed. #dogsofmastodon

Two years ago I bought this hat for running. It’s merino wool, but machine washable, and of course high-viz, so great for running.
I had been reserving this hat just for running, but for pre-dawn dog walks, it occurred to me that maybe high-viz was the way to go.
I did a poor job of training Ashley to look at me. Instead of looking to me for guidance, she’s usually looking around, mostly looking for things she shouldn’t be doing.
This morning, though, she was looking at me, so I seized the opportunity to get a picture of her that’s not just of the back of her head. #dogsofmastodon
Ashley was ready to head on back, but I insisted that we walk as far as First Street, so I could take a picture of the dawn sky, such as it was.
I noticed how sluggish Ashley got when the temperature rose above about 72℉, but I hadn’t really noticed that it was kind of a continuous function. Now that’s gotten quite cool (down near freezing overnight, 43℉ just at the moment), she is full to the brim with energy.
Zoomies! #dogsofmastodon
Ashley found a ball. #dogsofmastodon
“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.”

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
