There are two recliners in our living room. Maybe we should have three.
Every morning poor Summer has to beg for someone to share their chair with her.
If she just settled for her big round dog bed or the sofa she might get cold and lonely.
That would be very sad.
When Summer's pal sat on the edge of his chair before scooting back she saw her opportunity and took the back seat. Summer is quick.
These sweet cuddles set the tone for our whole day.
We are thankful Summer is part of our family and that her loving instincts are absolutely right on every time.
Good morning, Mastodon.

🐧🌙 In #Iceland's Westman Islands, entire families stay up all night during "puffling season" to rescue baby #puffins confused by town lights.
This century-old #tradition saves up to 7,000 pufflings each #summer. Light #pollution disrupts the natural navigation that guides these young #birds to sea, so the community collects lost birds in cardboard boxes and releases them from clifftops.

Sunflowers are at their peak right now 🌻 Each bloom turning toward the sun, radiating warmth and late summer beauty. Their golden glow feels like nature’s way of holding onto sunshine just a little longer.

Found a glorious wildflower field near Chappell field in #BlueKnobStatePark, #Pavia, #PA, a few weeks back. I wandered around in there with the camera and felt like I'd gone to heaven!!! Found this sweet Great Spangled Fritillary who was kind enough to pose for me for a while!

We've been getting quite a few hummingbirds at the feeders lately. I think I post this every year, but I can't get over how they battle.

Tranquil dawn on the Florida coast, soft pastel light paints the sky in shades of lavender and rose. A lone fisherman stands at the edge of the surf, casting into the calm sea as shorebirds scatter along the sand. The clouds glow with the first light of day, reflecting across the gentle waves in a serene moment of stillness and beauty.

Regularly someone from our Mastodon community says that photos of Summer bring them a moment of happiness.
Today I mentioned to her that she brings smiles to people she will most likely never meet in real life.
Just in case she gets tired of my camera in her face I wanted her to know it is worth me pestering her.
She says she is totally on board because she has extra love to go around.

Summer mentioned that she was feeling svelte this morning. She is right.
Since her annual visit to the vet we have been trying to help her drop five pounds.
The doctor says she will be healthier and more comfortable at her ideal weight. Less treats and more exercise is the only way it seems.
Today was weigh in day and and she is two pounds lighter.
Being a dog mom is just like being a mom, mom.
Good morning, Mastodon.

As summer gives way to fall, sunflowers linger in the warm light, framing a rustic adobe doorway in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The weathered wood and earthen walls tell stories of time and tradition, while the blooms stand tall as a final farewell to the season. A perfect meeting of nature’s fleeting beauty and the enduring charm of the Southwest. 🌻🏜️

Summer cracks me up.
She goes from happiest dog ever to this in the blink of an eye.
The one, only one, neighbor who walks by everyday is the sole recipient of this look. She knows I don't allow her to bark at him but she makes sure that he understand that he is to stay on the other side of the property line.
Summer's expressions don't leave room for doubt how she feels.
As soon as he is out of sight she wiggles over to me for some pets and belly rubs all smiles again.
Funny dog.

Here I go again posting the mundane happenings of our simple lives. I saw a toot yesterday where a person was bemoaning how boring it is to read about plain old everyday stuff on Mastodon.
No razzle dazzle on this timeline just Summer and I as we scurry down the road for another early morning adventure.
I told Summer how lucky we are to live our not very exciting lives in this beautiful place.
Maybe in the grand scheme of things all that excitement we don't experience goes to critters who are more deserving.
Who knows for sure why we ended up here and everyone else there?
I asked Summer what she thinks.
She says that personally she is happy to accept that she is where she is meant to be.
I said me too.
Good morning, Mastodon.

I spent a lot of time as a child, wandering through meadows, staring at the sky, exploring my surroundings, daydreaming about the future.
I also spent a lot of time, at home, watching TV.
One was a waste of time, lost moments that could have been spent doing something, anything, of greater worth.
The other wasn't wasted time. Thinking never is.

Good morning. Rainy first weekend of June. #Summer #Photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #Chicago #Today
I had just carried my third laundry basket of clean folded clothes upstairs.
Summer and her pal followed me up.
She was in an adjoining bedroom and appeared to be ready to eat a pill sized, light colored something on the floor.
I panicked because I immediately thought that she had gotten one of my husband's pills.
I executed a full body dive for that little oblong thing like I was playing center field and making the play of the game. My whole body was airborne.
Summer was shocked.
I was sure I saved her life.
But.
It was only a jelly belly.
My husband had treated himself to a handful and must have dropped one.
Summer says she wonders about me sometimes.
I don't blame her.
#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
Summer was excited for an early adventure this morning. I think that prioritizing a fitness schedule for her will mean getting out early every day. The crack of dawn is the only time left available in my schedule.
We headed off to the beach because she is restricted from swimming until her ear infection is cleared up.
We had great fun. She stayed dry, I walked two plus miles and she ran for at least an hour.
Summer was happy as a clam and so is grandma.
Good morning, Mastodon.
#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
Poor Summer.
She doesn't like the medicine that treats her ear infection.
She says ears should be off limits.
Even so she trusts me enough to let me stick a tube where the medicine needs to do it's work.
Only three more doses after this one.
I am sorry.
Big hugs after we finished.
#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
One chore that belonged on our to-do list wasn't there.
My mistake.
I'm not perfect.
Summer was anxious to see the cardboard hauled to the transfer station to be recycled.
This is by far and away her favorite job so she filed an official request and we bumped cardboard flattening right to the top of the list.
One more thing done.
Summer came along for the ride so she could say hello to the chickens who live at the recycle center. They pay zero attention to her.
