Pretty sure you could train either of these meatballs to fly that drone, although Herbie (left) would immediately use that skill for maximum shenanigans. No idea what Sam (right) would do. Probably use it to find his favorite ball, perpetually lost in the bushes.

Not sure what brand of bee friend this is, but they got caught in the rain storm, so I convinced them to get on this flower and hang out til it stopped

First dahlia of the summer getting ready to open. It's either Mercury or Myrtle's Folly - the tag is gone, so I can't tell until it opens up. 🌱

Really need to get out of bed and go to work, but I am trapped. Don't send help, I am resigned to my fate.
Herbie, a blue & red cattle dog with a black eye patch, is currently laying across my lap. He's giving me a suspicious look as I type this. I think he wants us to stay in bed today. He has very large paws because he is a sturdy meatball.

I give mine beef cheek rolls or the frozen raw bones (although I have to take those away if the edges start to chip). The cheek rolls take him a couple days to get through.
Herbie, a blue & red cattle dog, waits patently for treats to be dispensed. He's laying on a round bed in front of a sliding glass door, with toys scattered around.

I keep trying to get a good photo of Herbert carrying his cheese stick like a cigar, but he won't stay still long enough, so a blurry one will have to do
Herbie, a mostly blue cattle dog, stands inside his cage (really more of a mech suit tbh) holding a yak cheese stick in his mouth like a cigar. He's with me at work but he has to stay in containment or he'll eat the boxes.

Everything is terrible and the world is on fire, but today this Very Good Boy and his bff, also a Very Good Boy, spent the day romping in the sun. So that's something.
Sam (left) a black and white, long haired border collie, and Herbie (right) a blue cattle dog with a black eye patch and tan legs & chest, take a break on my parents' porch. They have been playing in the sun all day, wrestling in the grass and generally living it up. They are the best dogs.

Cattle dogs being tuckered out be their own shenanigans is just adorable

I plan on posting pictures of this guy every 15-20 minutes. Just all Herbie all day. Might throw in some book recommendations as pallette cleansers.

Too long. Most months flew by while feeling like they were going in slow motion. It was a real annus horribilis, in several ways. Not nearly enough good times to offset the bad. Holy fack, that sounds grim.

Took this chunk of firewood to the vet today to refill his flea medication & they needed a current weight. Just under 9 months & he's 56.6 lbs. My family now has a pool going on what his final weight will be. My money is on 62. He's a monster, but such a love.

Neither, just bored-scrolling on a Saturday night, watching the drama like it's a sports match, while my dog sleeps like his spine is made of bike inner tubes.
Herbie, an 8 month old cattle puppy (he's mostly blue with some red on his legs & black ears) sleeps half on and half off his round dog bed. The floor is littered with chewed up cardboard, because Herbie likes to party. There's a 6 foot spiderweb on the wall in the background, and a Christmas gift bag filled with salvaged Christmas wrapping in the foreground. Oh, and the floor is grey- blue tile.

Lately, this meatball has been waking me at 3am & 5am to let him out, so...might as well spend some quality time on the internet I suppose.

Herbie is enjoying his second ever camping trip. Can't tell if he prefers the lake or the desert though. We might need more data! 😁

First real vacation in four years, and I'm still not entirely sure what to do with all these free days. Herbie has the right idea though

They're so used to adults throwing their hands up & declaring 'there's nothing we can do' But that's incorrect. We CAN fix things.

*nods in memories of 2020 Relentless misery is no good for anyone, but we're so conditioned to think we don't deserve any joy when terrible things are happening. No wonder so many people are just banana crackers miserable. But the tree outside my bedroom window is still blooming, and beautiful.
Looking out a basement level window at a tree in bloom with pink flowers. I dont remember what kind of tree it is. On the windowsill are some house plants - a tradescantia that needs repotting, and succulents in funky mugs, and a camera that does mini polaroids.
