Me and Ashley, out for a #run. Once again, she’s a much better running companion than she is portrait model. 🏃🐕 #dogsofmastodon
Because of dog-related complications, I didn’t get good stats on the run, but it was about 2 miles and maybe 30 minutes (including time to water the dog and pose for photos).
At 10:00 AM on the first Tuesday of each month, they test the warning sirens. The first time Ashley heard them, she wanted to howl along. I didn’t want her to think that she shouldn’t howl, so I joined in howling with her. Now we do it every month. #dogsofmastodon
Sometimes I’ll tell Ashley she’s my best girl. Then I’ll lean close to her and, in a loud whisper, say, “Don’t tell Jackie I said that.” #dogsofmastodon
Me: Ashley, we’re out for a walk! We’re not out for a “stand and stare at a squirrel”!
Ashley:
Ashley has been hearing about the Fightin’ Ball training that Tanuki has been doing, and has been keeping her eye out for the essential equipment. Today, she found it. #dogsofmastodon
My brother, @author_sdbrewer, tells me this is a mlem, as opposed to a blep. #dogsofmastodon
Forty-five minutes after getting her toy, Ashley struck stuffing. Five minutes later, the stuffie is completely disemboweled. #dogsofmastodon
We are just home from Ashley’s class on loose-leash walking. It was graduation, so we got to pick out a toy for her. Jackie said she hesitated to get a stuffie, because Ashley destroys them so quickly. The teacher said, “But does she like them?”
Bitter cold here today, and I felt bad making Ashley wait while I got a picture. But when I tried to take her home, she decided she would rather do some zoomies in the dog park, so I retroactively didn’t feel so bad after all. #dogsofmastodon
