Just noticed he’s missing one of his lower canines, if that helps with id.
Happy largish brown dog, unbothered by the fact that he’s in the wrong yard with people he’s never met before.

ATTN SW MINNEAPOLIS:

Do you recognize this dog?

I just got home and found him waiting patiently at my backdoor; I thought it was one of my dogsitting customers, but I’m pretty sure he’s never been here. No tag, but very friendly and obviously trained.
Older brown dog—lab or pointer mix, maybe? Brown eyes, peppery muzzle, long legs, slender.

Monday was MN State Fair day for us! Best weather day we’ve ever had.
A large crowd of people make long shadows on the street as they walk through the MN State Fair grounds. A giant pumpkin is displayed with a first place ribbon in an exhibit hall at the MN State Fair. A 2ft cube of butter has been sculpted into a head of a Princess Kay of the Milky Way contestant. A giant yellow slide shines in the sun as children slide down on mats as others climb the stairs to the top for their turn.

Celebrating a colleague today. We are on theme with the new mascot!!
Two signs thanking and celebrating Andi. One sign includes a highland cow riding a golf cart, holding nachos and circled by happy puppies. The nachos, puppies and cow have party hats on them. A white frosted cake is decorated with a highland in frosting.

Dined in an igloo for a friend’s birthday. It was waaaay warmer than we expected.
