Longsnouts [Dog Training]

I *LOVE* the work of the Michigan artist Big Mitten Linocuts. LOVE.

I bought this particular piece to hang over Kenna’s crate. Because second pic. (Every f*cking morning).

It’s also just a good life rule.

Me: I just want to drink my coffee.
Kenna: BUT ITS ALREADY 7:45am!!!!

Her morning perkiness is our only incompatibility. 😑🤣

When you 86-lb snuggle bug fully curls up in your lap, you halt all things and cherish the moment. 🥹

Coming up on some sad anniversaries…all of which remind me to stop and enjoy time with our beloved doggos.

We think they’re the bees knees!!! Enjoy!!

Today’s act of ‘defiance’ and “eat your feelings” included a rare-ish indulgence: #Costco pizza. 💖 #iykyk

AND I ate it in the car.

The first 3 while you’re hibernating in the latter!!!

Ermagerd. I need these x3. Just in case I need a backup.

2025 has already been a wild ride.

Has Dre denounced Snoop yet or I gotta cancel his ass too??

Today is National Conservation Dog Day! (illustration of Finders for conservationdogscollective.org)

This didn’t age well. 😑😑

🥹🥹 Maeve. Talk about throwback. I fostered a partially paralyzed little pittie baby and this was the night I knew she was sticking around. We had 14 mostly wonderful months together…then she told me she was tired.

You were loved, monkey.

Sad Sully. Leaving a client’s house the other day and caught this sad face.

Why do the shy ones get to a gal the most?! 🥹

M’main man, Dougal, letting me know *exactly* how he feels about the underwater treadmill.

Diagnosed with OA & spondylosis, we’ve made EXCELLENT progress with PT/rehab.

Just a couple more torture..I mean treadmill sessions. Because he needs to live forever!

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social

Grumpy northern pygmy owl on a curved branch with a brown and blue background.

When you foolishly tell the Northern Pygmy Owl that it's Monday morning before they've had their coffee.

It’s Arctic-ally cold here in Michigan. Coping = destroying things.

Who’s coming over to Hoover?

Backing up (“beep beep”)!

We’ve been working on this as a skill for general fitness, skill-building, and it’s also an element (of 13) of the Novice Parkour test we’re working towards. We had a delightful moment the other night where she 💯 figured out what we’re doing!

Gracie. *REALLY* liked her #mywoof Christmas present. 💖

New here! Feels like walking into school as the New Kid and everyone’s talking at once, you no clue where to sit, and OMG I forgot my name.

Fun dog training stuff to follow…
