Do I get blasé about this being 5 minutes straight downhill from our house? Yes. Far too much.

A bi-black Shetland Sheepdog walks along a dirt path under the shade of a large tree at Loman Beach Park. The dog’s leash extends forward as it heads toward the sunlit grass and sparkling water in the distance. The morning light filters through the green leaves, casting soft shadows across the vibrant lawn.

The same bi-black Sheltie sits on the grass near the water’s edge at Loman Beach Park, facing the camera with a relaxed, curious expression. Behind the dog, the sunlight shimmers across the blue water with driftwood scattered along the shoreline. The Olympic Mountains rise faintly in the distance under a bright, cloudless sky.

that is some AMAZING head-on-the-floor! Tallie does that sometimes too, I always wonder why shelties do this. My husband says it's cooling for their extra-large brains 😂

Honestly, they should show the video half-screen, on mute, overlayed with a discussion of the Hatch Act as well as relevant local/state ordinances.

Airports across the country are grappling with whether to play a video featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, who is shown blaming congressional Democrats for the shutdown of the federal government and travel delays.

Some airports refuse to play a Homeland Security video blaming Democrats for government shutdown. Here’s what the SLC airport decided.

(Also there are sooooo many books in the series, it can keep you going literally for weeks)

I am a huge fan of Grover Garner’s narration of the Vorkosigan Saga. It’s so warm and engaging and it makes long drives much better.

A fluffy black and white Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) walks on a forest trail covered with dry pine needles and leaves. The dog has a thick mane, dark face with a white blaze, and is wearing a light blue leash, looking up with its tongue out happily.

A cheerful hand-drawn illustration of the same Sheltie, shown in a playful pose with its tongue out and tail curled upward. The drawing uses gray, black, and white colored pencils, with orange and teal paw-print-like patterns scattered in the background. The name “Tallie!” is written below in black letters with an orange exclamation mark.

Past compositions we've gotten, if you need more convincing that you should donate & get a drawing of your pet:

An expressive watercolor and ink portrait of the same Sheltie, featuring the same flower crown and bright, alert eyes. The painting captures the dog’s fluffy fur with loose, textured strokes in shades of brown, black, and gray, with delicate highlights of purple and green for the flowers and a hint of pink on the tongue.

A fluffy black and white Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) sits gracefully against a soft lavender background. The dog has a thick mane, dark face with a white stripe down the center, and wears a crown of purple and green flowers that drapes slightly over one ear. Its mouth is open slightly with a happy expression and tongue showing

It's time for Poorly Drawn Pets, one of the best pet fundraisers each year! arliowa.typeform.com/poorlydrawnp...
Here is Tallie's fabulous portrait & the source photo 🤩

A playful hand-drawn illustration of the same Sheltie. The drawing uses bold purple and black lines to depict the dog’s long, spiky fur and bright white face stripe. The tongue and bandana are colored pink, and the name “Tallie” with a small heart is written in blue at the top right.

A fluffy black and white Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) with a thick, full coat sits on a light wood floor, looking up at the camera. The dog has a dark face with a white blaze running up the center of the snout to the forehead, a pink tongue slightly out, and wears a pink-and-white checkered bandana

SOAK IT UP, SEATTLE! Tuesday is very likely the last 70+ degree day until, well, I'll say spring. Highs drop to the 50s later this week as shower chances return -- and maybe even some mountain snow above 5,000 feet over the weekend.(!) #wawx

That's amazing. If it's single malt I buy frequently, I can usually get distillery and ballpark the age. And some cask types are easy (rum casks in particular are super obvious). But if it's not one I drink often I'm just making educated guesses; getting them all right is wild. 😁

We meandered around Ravenna today & same 😎

A fluffy black and white dog wearing a pink harness walks ahead on a leash down a narrow, tree-lined sidewalk bordered with lush greenery and blooming flowers. The path stretches forward into the distance, framed by colorful plants on both side

new take on expert level napping this afternoon

(Because I realize that this just looks like a pile of fuzz, it's a bi-black sheltie falling out of a grey pouf bed head first, while asleep. See annotated version.)

This fluffy Sheltie has dozed off in her bed, but she’s slipped halfway out with her head resting against the floor. It’s a perfectly cozy, slightly silly nap pose that shows she’s completely at ease.

the same but with text labels showing where her nose, ear, ruff, and paw are

Tallie would send a good night but she's already full snoozle so I'll send a bonne nuit from both of us 😴

A fluffy Sheltie is curled up on a gray sofa, fast asleep with its head resting gently on its paws. Its thick coat of black, white, and gray fur looks extra cozy against the fabric of the couch. The peaceful scene captures pure comfort and quiet rest.

Tallie says "now this is more like it!! Au revoir toasty summer walks"

A fluffy Sheltie stands alert on the sidewalk, its black-and-white coat catching the light in soft waves. With leash in tow and a calm gaze, it looks ready to continue its peaceful walk.
