Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Hi friends, long time no see! I decided this summer that Moose is not so bad as long as we maintain boundaries. I’m still glad that he’s leaving for college today. Mom says “don’t worry, he’ll be back.” Um, okay. #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 2140

Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Friday is nail trim day and the fun part is through this door! It’s just a quick bzzzzz on each toe, not bad, and I get my special treats, Very Good! Mom said “slow down Koa, let Miss Emily get the treat tin first” 😂 #cityheeler #cattledog #cooperativecare #fearfree #dogsofbluesky 2150
Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Mom says we are “practicing cohabitating” this morning. This means I am with mom inside and Moose is out on the deck with dad and sometimes I go see him and then I walk away and get a treat.

Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 14/06/2026A bit hot for a sniffari trot today but mom said “c’mon Koa help me get my steps in.” Whelp, if that’s my job I’d better do it. Let’s go! #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 2281

Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 07/06/2026We went to the store to get poop bags. Look what I found there! Mom did NOT try to take it because I had “that look.” She DID say “why do they keep a bully stick bin on the floor right next to the poop bags?” #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 2140
Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Guess what friends DON’T EAT SHAMPOO! I had just a teensy chomp of mom’s shampoo bar and then tossed all my breakfast cookies. Feeling much better now thank you! #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 2180
Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Had a great lunch walk with my friend J today! She told mom this is my “mischievous Clark Gable look.” I don’t know what that means but I feel good about it! #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 0260
Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Another sunny day, another Trot! Mom says I am helping her “get into shape.” My trot is just the right speed and she says my sniff stops help too!

Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 28/05/20269 straight days of rain. blech. Mom says we needed it because of “the drought.” Dad got mad at me for peeing on the deck but that yard is WET.

Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 10/05/2026This is Moose. Hubro brought him home from “college”. Mom says “Koa Moose is your nephew, he’s allowed to be here.” I don’t think so. #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 4210
Koa the City Heeler @jkdk73.bsky.social · 09/05/2026We went out for our walk even though it CLEARLY smelled like rain. Mom said “cmon Koa, let’s Embrace Nature!” Do I have a choice? #cityheeler #cattledog #dogsofbluesky 1161
