Well, it wasn't really expected... But we've got a dog, now!

Human Dad took me to the beach for a cooling paddle in the sea, have now found a lovely spot to dry the undercarriage and keep my snoot shaded. Enjoy the weekend everyone. #dogsofmastodon #dogs #dog

Rosie and Susie, the little doodle dogs, are sitting in the hallway. They look pretty and smell good. I just picked them up from their spa day. They look darling with the fluffy ears and tail. They're wearing tie-die bandanas. How cute it that? Did I mention they both have big smiles? And they'e patiently waiting for lunch. Hurry up mom!!!!

Rosie and Lily were very interested in the heron which was keeping on eye on us from the bridge 😊

That feeling when your dog gets a thorn in their paw, immediately stops, lifts their paw, and looks up at you for help.

[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.

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."

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).
