sound on for enormous babies who don’t want to get up and go outside
Odin went on an adventure in Amsterdam city center today with some friends. He was very well behaved and a lot of people enjoyed meeting him. The only problem was grumpy old men annoyed that I brought a large dog on a fairly crowded tram (more crowded than I expected on a Sunday outside of tourist season). I'm sorry sir but he's roughly the same size as you and they let you on despite your bad attitude, look at how happy this good boy is to be here sitting politely next to you, he stays
The weather started out cold and dreary.
Summer and I practically had to stand in line to put food in our town's free pantry. Many of us are stepping up. Although we have a good food bank it is miles away and if you have no money transportation is probably an issue. I feel really good about our close to home option.
Summer and I spent most of the morning cleaning anywhere there are pipes just in case the plumber would be plumbing there. I know it's silly but I'm sure a clean workspace is better than the alternative.
When the sun broke through the dreary we jumped in the car and sang along with the stereo all the way to the beach. Summer doesn't know all the words but she enthusiastically joins in.
We had a blast

This is Lacey, an emotional support animal from Florida. She's 18 months old and a total Mama's girl. ❤️
POV: you're telling your spoiled puppy that her ancestors had to hunt to survive and that they didn't have peanut butter.

Summer works hard.
She is happiest when she feels useful.
When we work on laundry together it is her job to pick up anything that falls out of a basket as the dirty clothes make their way from the upstairs bedrooms to the downstairs laundry room.
Stray socks or washcloths are her favorite finds.
This is a very important task and she never fails.
We are so, so happy to report that yesterday's drain repair seems to be holding and all of the laundry will be clean, dry and folded by the end of the day

Summer is long gone and we have officially entered muddy season at doggy day care.
This is Maple.
Maple prefers to be the only pup in her household. If you live in the Nashville area and are looking for gem of a pup contact me.
(I work for an animal rescue)
We have had a hard time placing this sweet girl and I usually wouldn’t promote any work related things on here but 🤷🏻♂️
OLIVE is a Heeler puppy, adopted by her two Moms.
A fortuitous meeting. Olive's humans are now friends and offered to "introduce" me to queer Bryson City and their community. ❤️
Odin isn’t just listening, he hears you

I checked the garden. Looks like the beagle crop is nearly ripe.

Dog thefts are becoming more common in the U.S.
Pets that are easily accessible and visible in a yard are easier targets for thieves.
Some preventive steps dog owners can take include installing a fence or building a higher fence if your pet hangs out in your yard without you.
Microchipping your pet and using GPS collars is also a good idea.

The unsung hero of the Olympic-champion US women’s gymnastics team is a very good boy
Beacon, a golden retriever therapy dog, was a crucial part of the Americans’ preparations for the Olympics as he helped soothe athletes’ nerves
"With his fluffy butterscotch coat, eyes as soulful as Leonard Cohen and the official credential that hangs around his neck and reads “Goodest Boy”, Beacon has earned celebrity standing in both gymnastic and dog-loving circles."

Maddie isn’t thrilled with our new feathered friend that keeps showing up at our doorstep.
Zara, who did nothing wrong, does not see any reason to share her bed. (This is not her bed.)
Odin carried around the same stick for 15 minutes on a walk until he saw a bigger one lying on the sidewalk and swapped it with the immediacy of an RPG player
