Ashley was pleased to walk about one-third of the way through Dohme Park. But once I got this image, she was ready to head home again.
The crescent moon from the previous picture is visible way over at the right.

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.

I slept so late this morning, the sun was already up when I got out to walk the dog!

In 2007, when I left Motorola, I was kind of reserving LinkedIn as a potential job-hunting site. In my brain I was already retired, but I hadn’t completely abandoned the possibility I might want another job, so I kept most of my random silliness off LinkedIn, just in case.
That hasn’t made any sense for at least a decade, but it has taken until now for me to get organized to fix it.
If you don’t want to read about my writing, sword fighting, dog walking, random sunrise photos, etc., feel free to use whatever tools LinkedIn provides to filter such stuff, or just stop following me. I’ll take no offense.

Even while I was sick, I still had to walk the dog. I cut back just a bit—when I was at my sickest, I took her for just three walks a day. Now that I’m mostly better I’m back to five or six walks per day, although the mileage is still a bit shy of what it was before I got sick.
I appreciate the less spectacular dawn skies just like the more dramatic ones.

Jackie has two band-aids, having gotten both a flu shot and an RSV shot. (Covid shot delayed another couple of months, since she had Covid in August.) In the foreground, Ashley is showing proper care. #dogsofmastodon #vaccinesofmastodon

Ashley found a ball. #dogsofmastodon
