Swapping Grimm with Floyd's placement is looking so much better for us!

A nice little run in the rain. Swapping dog positions on the go to experiment with pace a bit more.

Seems like just yesterday that Floyd was potato sized and aptly nicknamed "Porky" because he was so stinking stocky as a puppy.

Alas, I enjoyed the hike with you today, bud. The rain and lush forest were pleasant from start to finish.

Nothing quite as healing as exploring nature in the rain with a dog. 💚

A beautiful Memorial Day paddle. We saw plenty of turtles enjoying the sunlight along our roughly 9 mile paddle. Dog is "Mercy" and cat is "Scrub."

My "I'll never bite or get mouthy" malinois who is so different from the other 4 in stature, coat type, and needs.

He runs his own laps without falter, quick to catch on, took to scent work immediately, but he'll not put his mouth on anyone.

A happy boy, Graffiti!

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

Just FYI, the training cart for dog mushing can also be used as a garden cart if you need help persuading your partner to let you get into the sport. 😏

"Cricket" our 8-year old girl giving quite the stink eye to the fella holding the flirt pole. Even as a senior, she's feisty and athletic as can be!

"Rudder" - while his coat is shiny and he is a muscular boy, lord he is a tiny boy. It doesn't help in looking like a lab that he has such little fat content on him, but he is happy being a fit and athletic boy!

"Floyd" our muscular boy who is absolutely the do-everything dog. From anything physically demanding to using his noggin (and nose) for scent work, he does such a great job.

"Rudder" our black lab. He is a fit little dude that certainly loves the flirt pole.

I feel like I say this every couple weeks, but...times are strange and I haven't been on social media much. I still have my job (thankfully, for now) and while things are tough I'm trying to stay grounded & joyful. Not always easy. But here's a stunning new #jwst image...enjoy ❤️✨

The Ruby-topaz #Hummingbird is a tiny, dazzling bird found in northern South America. Males flash brilliant ruby-red and golden-orange feathers when the light hits just right—one of nature’s finest optical illusions

Albino deer ♡

A digital illustration of an albino deer curled in grass. Around her is a circle of white fairy mushrooms. Scene looks very dreamy, in lighter tones. There are words on top of it saying "The world is cruel, therefore I won't be."

A coronal mass ejection is en route from the Sun! This footage from GONG reveals two filaments of plasma erupting on the weekend, the latter of which is predicted to reach Earth tomorrow afternoon/evening. A strong geomagnetic storm (and lower-latitude aurora) is possible.
