So tired today I crawled out of the sea. Human Dad said it was like the TV scene from The Ring, how rude. Have a lovely weekend everyone! #dogsofmastodon #dogs #dog

[Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners]

I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁

Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔

What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃

Possible features could include:
🐶 Dog profiles
🚶 Walks & meetups
📍 Dog parks & local spots
⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts
🔎 Missing & found dogs

The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉

Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible.

I’d be interested to know:
Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #OpenSource #SelfHosting #Dogs #DogLovers #AnimalWelfare #Community #Idea

Infographic in DIN A4 format titled “Dog Network – Decentralized. Local. For Dogs and Their Owners.” The infographic visualizes the concept of a decentralized dog platform based on ActivityPub. At the center, a network diagram connects several independent communities (e.g., animal shelters, dog training schools, local communities, or breed groups) that communicate with one another via a federated infrastructure.

On the right, a smartphone app with a map view is shown as an example. Surrounding it are potential features: dog profiles, walks and meetups, warnings about hazards and poisoned bait, dog parks and local spots, missing or found dogs, as well as groups and discussion forums.

Other sections explain data protection, data sovereignty, self-hosting, open-source technologies, and an optional, privacy-friendly meeting mode that uses intentionally imprecise location data. The design primarily uses shades of green and natural tones, featuring illustrations of dog owners, dogs, maps, and network symbols. The graphic serves as an initial concept sketch and does not represent a finished product or final design.

Our friend Jon, gifted endurance runner wanted find easier way up to 2975m Phantom Lake, off a side trail from main trail across very steep rocky slippery slopes, scree, and boulders. Of this 25K hike from 1925m E Rosebud Lake start, 6K of that. Sundance did great guarding us 👍🏽. No problem for Jon and Pancakes/Bagels pups. He did 70K double Sundance Pass run 5 weeks ago. Couldn't quite make the lake, just happy no slips. Very warm 18-25C drying fast. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana #mountains

the main Phantom Creek trail this afternoon coming down. nice fall colors still developing. lite up-canyon wind thank goodness it was hot in the sun. this whole area ravaged in the 13JUN2022 floods. the main E Rosebud Canyon is 1800m deep in places.

Good sounds. #grickledoodle #rain #pets #cats #dogs #icecream #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

A cozy kitchen on a rainy afternoon: a person, a cat, and a dog sit around a table eating bowls of strawberry-topped ice cream, listening to rain against the window and the gentle clinking of spoons. Caption reads "On rainy afternoons they would eat ice cream with strawberries, listening to the patter of rain and the clinking of spoons."

A tiny kitten is nesting in the middle of a big plush dog bed.
Right next to it a big black lab is trying to squeeze inside a very small cat bed. His attempts resulted in the hole in the bottom of the bed so one of his legs is sticking out through.

We are going to leave the San Francisco apartment we’ve lived in for almost six years. We’re going away for a while, and when we are back, we will move to another neighborhood.

Both of our senior pets crossed the rainbow bridge here. Both of them animated the apartment with their bright personalities, loud noises, and many antics.

Knowing their age (Cookie was 12 when we moved in here, and Mila was 14), it was important to us that we give them the opportunity to say goodbye in our lovely and comfortable home. And we did.

In some weird way it feels like saying goodbye to the apartment is also like saying goodbye to them. Our lives have changed so much, without pets, and we don’t see any in the foreseeable future, but they brought us so much joy in dark times (through early Covid, politics, and more).

Picture of a sketchbook placed on a wooden desk framed with a cutting mat, black paper, and pink paper with a flower pattern on it. The sketchbook is open on a page with 4 different dogs. On top left is a cream-coloured Shepherd-like dog carrying 3 sticks in their mouth. The words « many sticks » are written along the sticks. To their right is a little corgi proudly carrying a branch with some cherry blossoms. The words « fancy stick » are written in cursive along the branch. Underneath is a small dog carrying a disproportionally long stick, the words « big stick! » are written along it. On the bottom right of the page is a sitting borzoi with a little twig in their mouth, the words « smol stick » are written along the twig.

Juliette died last night. She was 13.

In June I posted a photo of her in a yellow unicorn party hat and called it her "second" birthday. A year before that I had spent a weekend doing some kind of CPR on her and writing her heart rate down every 30 minutes, certain she would not see Monday.

She saw fourteen more months. She walked, she ate, she ran around the flat like nothing had happened.

That post: https://dol.social/@dima/116782367532858418

Thank you to everyone who wrote something kind under it. I went back and read all of it again today.

This photo is from a boat on Lake Lucerne. A third of her life she spent here in Switzerland, and on every walk it was obvious who was walking whom.

She always got her way. She never backed down from anything, not once, not until yesterday.

❤️
