Today has gotten a whole lot better! We went for walkies all over town then stopped at a yummy sandwich shop where I got some beef-n-cheese, but the best part is that we found a bark park and I got to do playz with 4 other doggos. It was fuuuuun!

It’s a dreary day so we’re driving to Wallingford, CT to an antique lighting store to pick up two lamps the owner repaired for M+D. Exciting, right? Yeah, not so much. But, there may be unexpected adventures and treats so I’m not giving up hope.

Oh, hi Dad. I, um, thought maybe you’d want me to drive?

Mom’s been crazy busy with work. She says it’ll get better after next week’s board meeting, whatever that is. I haven’t seen her as much so when she went for coffee really early this morning, I went with her instead of sleeping in. It was so early, I needed a coffee, too!

I’m multitasking again. I’m doing a #WontLookWednesday with Mom and I’m giving Dad puppy eyes trying to get a taste of his sandwich.

I’m multi-tasking, doing my #TongueOutTuesday while enjoying my pup cup.

I checked when we got home and hubro is definitely not in his room. Is he coming back sometime soon? I miss him already.

Today is just…yuck. Hubro did 2 EMT shifts this weekend + he’s already heading back to school. At least I got a bonus visit. It’s pouring so we drove north for lunch + he left from there to save drive time. I’m sad. This is not a Funday. *sighs*

If I don’t look at you then I can’t hear you say I need a bath.

…and then, my herding ball rolled into the muddy part of the yard…

*runs into the kitchen* Mom: 😮 What just happened? Me: 😀 Dad and I just had so much fun with my herding ball! Dad: 🫥 *disappears*

Before Mom left for NYC, I did my #WontLookWednesday. She says it also serves as proof that when she left, I had a clean face, my floof was fluffy, and my feetsies were white.

Doin’ boys’ time! Mom’s in NYC until Fri. and I’m home with Dad. He took me out for crazy playz and I got pretty dirty, but because it’s Dad, I’m just gonna get a spot clean. What’s that, Dad? It’s best not to mention this to Mom?

Augie (Shadow 🌈) @shadowlakedog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My booper got dirty and my #TongueOutTuesday sorta stayed in. It’s been that kinda day.

Augie (Shadow 🌈) @shadowlakedog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Mom + I did long evening hikings. It’s about time. She’s been so busy with work that we haven’t done hikings in eleventy dozen days!

Oh, hi…that was meant for me to play with, right?

I had a double Dunkin’ day! Mom is crazy busy with work so we went super early so she could get coffee. We did sharesies with an egg/cheese wrap. Then later, I went to do errands with Dad and we stopped at a different Dunkin’. He gave me some bacon. Score! Best way to start Mon.!

Hubro is not the only one who played hard today.

I am very enthusiastic about playing the ‘catch the leaves’ game.

We played a new game called ‘catch the leaves’ and it was SO MUCH FUN!

This morning, I thought I smelled fun in the air. Turns out I was right!

We just passed through Hyde Park and drove through the grounds of the Vanderbilt mansion. It was designed by McKim, Mead & White and built btw 1896-99 for Frederick William Vanderbilt (grandson of Cornelius) + his wife, Louise. It’s really big!

We just passed the oldest inn in America, the Beekman Arms Inn in Rhinebeck, NY.

It’s a sunny, fall day and upstate NY is beautiful. The leaves are just starting to turn, but there are great views and sniffs up here!

I went on a super sniffari! We were going to Rhinebeck, NY for a country living festival but it turned out to be a big fairgrounds event w no doggos so we went to Hudson + walked in town. I met doggos+people+stopped for all the best sniffs + I MAY have peed on a pretty pumpkin.

What’s this? It smells yummy. We’re at a rest stop and I get a bacon-n-cheese doggy bone…which I’m enthusiastic about trying!

Augie (Shadow 🌈) @shadowlakedog.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

So far so good! We went to our favorite local cafe for breakfast and I got tastes of bacon, egg, cheese and brioche - yum! It’s such a pretty day that M+D put their “to do” list aside and decided we’re going on an adventure instead. This sounds promising. Stay tuned for pupdates!

Busy day around here, frens, so today’s (wet) #FluffyButtFriday photo was taken yesterday. I still have a fluffy butt so it still counts, right?

It was cloudy today then, just as the day was almost over, it brightened up enough to make the lake do shimmers.

Mom was working hard today so I brought her a snack.

Augie (Shadow 🌈) @shadowlakedog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I stood very still behind this plant while Mom said “Augie, come!” hoping she wouldn’t see me + I could stay in the water, but then she said “Now!” and the good boy in me responded - but, I shook hard as I got to her so she got soaked. Serves her right for training me so well! 😂

I found another rock to stand on! Can we call this one Augie’s rock?

Mom says I look like I’m about to go down a drain. I don’t know what that is but it made her laugh.

We went to the lake today and I got to do swimmies! I also snoopervised getting things ready for guests. Cousin Lauren is coming from PA for the weekend. I luffs her. We won’t see her this time, but she’s bringing frens to celebrate her birthday so I think she’ll have fun w/o me.

Today is #NationalBlackDogDay and #ThrowbackThursday so we’re honoring Shadow, my family’s original lake dog. I’m happy to paddle in his paw prints. 🖤🐾

No #MondayMotivation was found here, frens. It was a dreary, rainy Monday. Can this day be over, please? I’m ready for bed.
