First, but I'm a cat person. 🙂
I, too, am very much a cat person. At a distance, dogs are fine with me, but for me they are too slobbery, smelly and noisy. The only dogs I do like are the ones in my art pottery collection. This one is a Haeger Pottery Scotty planter from around 1942. Haeger scotty
It's a shame Scotties have gotten so rare.
Am also not a dog person...it's not that I'm terrified of - I met a pit terrier as it came tearing out of the dark at me while in Grad School, very enthusiastically friendly...but when a dog barks so loudly - across the hall neighbour had two large dogs - never seen, but damned I sure heard them, as did the cats. Kakarot and Spook both were a bit startled...
I used to like to watch the Westminister Dog Show, because well-behaved, well-groomed dogs are nice to see. However, now it's only on FoxSports, so that's a hard no.
Dogs AND bunnies!!! ❤
dog and bunny
^ I sure hope the bunny is OK with that affection.
"Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!"
can confirm, two cats and two dogs
Dogs rule, according to Ruby. Who is , as I type, giving me the power eye to let her out back to check on the squirrels Ruby stares intently
Poodles are indeed smart. When I was in high school I had a bit part in our school musical, George M (couldn't tap dance, so no big role that year, LOL) I was a strolling girl in tights and a tutu with a hula hoop and a toy poodle who would jump through it on command. Little Brutus' reward was a Girl Scout cookie Thin Mint, which he had been trained with. (Now that I think of it, should dogs even have chocolate??)

I am ready for November

Maybe we'll get a special event on the Fifth of November
Remember. Remember.
when i was a kid i "dog sat" for neighbors when they went on vacation.
i've walked and run people's dogs.
the one real story i have was rescuing a dog that got caught in a river current.
we found a boat with a long rope, i got in and got to the dog, and held onto it while folks on the river bank reeled us in.

No shade
No shine
No proper time of day!
Samsung? I just heard the founder once went to Sanyo, the Japanese giant, as an apprentice. Only when competition took up did the partnership split, in 1974, and Samsung was on its own. .

Dog story? Years before Malte came along this little fella named Chacha introduced us to the idea of maybe possibly one day having a dog of our own. Our holiday dog. What that could be like we learned from him. Chacha the dog did dog things: run around, demand we play with him, cunningly open doors to the pantry, eat all the things when we weren't looking, and rest together with his favourite humans when the time had come. Zzzz... such a cutie. # # # # # # # #

@Carsten Raddatz Chacha's pics are inaccessible. First I got an SSL error, tried deleting the "s" and got "this domain is blocked"
@Lisa Stranger Yes, i know:tm:

The admin/podmin/maintainer of pixelfed.automat.click (@billyidl) ran into technical trouble, the server's TLSv1 asks for but does not receive a known name. Nothing I can do to fix it, I offered help which may not have reached them, so only they can. Fedi dynamics!

It will be fine soon. I sure hope I can add more photos later when automat.click is up again.

Until @billyidl makes that happen here's more Chacha for you:

My youngest daughter, recently out of college and on her own just adopted a dog for company. It's a puppy, a few months old. She was told that it is part "heeler", and does seem to have some of that speckling and pattern. I was a little concerned that the dog might be too active and troublesome - but my daughter really lucked out - the dog is the sweetest, most attentive and intelligent dog I have come across in quite a while!
I'm guessing mayb 1/4 heeler, and the rest is a mongrel mix. I'll have to get some pix.
Dogs can be really flexible. I knew someone with calm Aussies because that’s what she expected of them.
