5 years ago tomorrow I flew to Spokane and picked up a barely 2 lb smidgen 💙

A smiling woman holds a tiny black-and-white Sheltie puppy bundled snugly in a bright blue fleece blanket. The fluffy puppy, with a white chest, muzzle, and front paws, looks up intently toward her face while one little paw rests over the blanket. They are outdoors on a cool-looking day, with a gravel path, grass, and large evergreen trees softly blurred in the background.

Containers sniff and go yesterday. This is Tallie waiting right outside the start line for the first one- I'm pretty sure she was sorting out where the hides were during the wait because when I gave the command she bee-lined to the first one immediately and then found the second one a moment later.

A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog sits on the pavement beside the rear bumper of a parked black Subaru, waiting for her turn at a nosework event. She wears a bright pink leash and looks off to the side with an alert, slightly serious expression, her ears perked and thick white chest ruff spread around her. Sunlight highlights the long fur around her face while a gravel parking area and greenery are visible behind the car.

The dog gazes intently off to the side with bright brown eyes and upright ears, looking focused and ready to work. A narrow white blaze runs down her forehead and muzzle, while long dark fur frames her face and a glimpse of her pink harness or leash shows beneath her coat.

hey, did you hear? there's another weekend day tomorrow! (tbh, since I WFH, I'm not actually sure Tallie understands the concept of a "weekend" 😂)

A close-up of a black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog standing on a neighborhood sidewalk, looking up toward the camera with bright brown eyes and an open-mouthed, cheerful expression. The dog’s long dark fur frames its face, with a narrow white blaze down the forehead and muzzle and a fluffy white chest ruff below. A pale green leash is visible along the lower left edge. In the background, dry grass and scattered fallen leaves line the curb beside the quiet street.

Tallie says the best way to start the weekend is to wake up at 4 AM when your pilot dogdad does. She still doesn't know why he gets to go fly the 737 and she's stuck at home, though. Doesn't he know shelties would make excellent pilots if you'd just let them into the cockpit? 🛫

A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog walks toward the camera along a wide concrete alley, one fluffy white front paw lifted mid-step. The dog is attached to a bright pink leash and looks ahead with alert ears and an open-mouthed, cheerful expression. Chain-link fencing lines one side of the alley while ivy and a low retaining wall run along the other, with the long paved lane stretching into the distance behind the dog.

google photos reminded me that this was Tallie 5 years ago today 🤗 (with her brothers, who are both bi-blue coloring)

Two very young Shetland Sheepdog puppies stand close together on a gray wood floor, both investigating a small feathered toy. The black-and-white puppy on the left leans forward with her nose almost touching the toy, while the pale gray-and-white puppy on the right sniffs from the other side. Their tiny bodies, soft fluffy coats, and slightly wobbly stance emphasize how young they are, with a quiet home interior blurred behind them.

A tiny black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog puppy stands on a gray wood floor beside a large bright blue plush shark toy. The puppy faces the camera with wide dark eyes, a narrow white blaze down its face, and white paws planted slightly apart in a sturdy little stance. The oversized shark beside it makes the puppy look especially small, while the simple indoor background keeps the focus on the puppy.

Three very young Shetland Sheepdog puppies sit shoulder to shoulder on a gray wood floor, facing the camera like a tiny group portrait. The puppy in the center is black-and-white with a narrow white blaze, while the puppies on either side are pale gray-and-white with soft mottled markings. All three have round puppy faces, fluffy coats, and small white paws, with the left puppy glancing slightly downward and the other two looking forward.

Bracing myself for Wet Dog smell- Tallie has a sheltie meetup today! Bc shelties, it's of course not rescheduled for the rain, so I'm going to have an exhausted, muddy, soaked, but blissed out sheltie soon. 😂 From March- with her cousin (bi-blue) & bestie (tri) at a rainy meetup:

Two Shetland Sheepdogs sit side by side on wet concrete, looking up toward their people with alert, happy expressions. The larger dog on the left has a blue-merle coat with a broad white chest ruff and an open-mouthed smile, while the smaller dog on the right is black-and-white with a similarly fluffy white ruff and a focused upward gaze. Only the lower legs and shoes of several people are visible around them, emphasizing the dogs as a closely matched pair of Sheltie cousins.

Two Shetland Sheepdogs stand together on green grass, both looking toward the camera with alert, friendly expressions. The dog in front is black-and-white with a narrow white blaze down its face and a very full white chest ruff, while the dog just behind it is a tricolor Sheltie with black fur, white markings, and tan coloring around the face and legs. A person’s lower legs and a red leash are visible behind them, suggesting the dogs are gathered together at an outdoor meetup or group activity.

"that search was only 2 hides in 90 seconds but I also did 4 hides in 3 minutes, that was fun but mom had trouble keeping track of which boxes I'd alerted on already. But not me! I know."

A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog sits alertly on the dark floor of an indoor nosework training room, attached to a bright pink leash. The dog faces slightly to the left with ears pricked and a focused, expectant expression, its large white chest ruff standing out against its dark coat. In the background, numerous plastic storage containers of different sizes and colors are spaced around the room in a loose search pattern, creating a container-search setup for nosework practice.

Tallie doing container searching with distractors - the boxes to either side of the "hot" boxes with target odor had chicken or fish in them. Which she LOVES, but she knows she can't alert on them. She's super reliable on ignoring distractors these days.

We were at the vet today for vaccinations and here is a before and after. 😂 Bordatella is an oral one, so she got it in a pup cup! Tallie says all vaccinations should be so tasty.

A small black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands on the light-colored floor of a veterinary exam room, looking up toward the camera with a cautious, slightly uncertain expression and her head tilted to one side. Her ears are perked and her thick white chest ruff contrasts with her dark coat. A wooden door and muted gray-green wall are visible behind her, giving the photo a quiet, clinical setting.

The same black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands in the veterinary exam room after getting her vaccinations, now facing the camera with bright eyes and an open-mouthed smile, her pink tongue visible. Her ears are upright and her fluffy white chest ruff fills much of the lower frame. Compared with the first photo, she looks noticeably more cheerful and relaxed, as if pleased that the appointment is over.

I was up early in Seattle & had turned on the TV to get the weather bc I was about to go walk my sheltie around Belltown. My memory of that morning is still crystal clear- early sunshine, quiet when we went out on our walk, coming back in & watching the towers fall. Seared in my head forever.

Tallie's Labor Day: search search search Tallie's Tuesday-as-a-Monday: she has been in the small crate all morning recovering 😂 (Yes, this is tight- this was her puppy crate, which she refuses to allow me to put away. If I put in the closet, she stands where it was & looks extremely sad.)

A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog is curled up asleep inside a soft-sided black mesh crate, resting on a cream-colored fleece pad. The dog’s body fills most of the crate, with its fluffy dark back and tail tucked around itself and its white chest and legs visible along one side. Its head is nestled into its own thick fur near the back corner, ears relaxed and eyes closed. The close overhead view emphasizes how snugly the Sheltie has tucked itself into the cozy crate.

My state (WA) doesn't exactly have in person voting - we are all mail voting - so I hope they sort this out. We do have ballot drop boxes so you don't need to rely on USPS but they may not be convenient for people who don't live in dense areas or have cars.

Tallie had a NW1 style sniff-and-go (aka a non-competitive nosework event) and she had so much fun. She is FAST when she's amped up (exteriors was 6 seconds & that really was only bc it took her about 6 seconds to race to the hide 😂). Look how excited she is here post vehicle search!

A screenshot of a “mydialect — Standard” U.S. dialect similarity map from mydialect.us. The contiguous United States is shaded from dark blue for “least like you” through pale yellow to red for “most like you.” The strongest red and orange areas cluster in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, especially around New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, which are marked with green dots. Most of the central and southern U.S. is blue, indicating lower similarity, with Omaha, Oklahoma City, and Dallas marked by white-outlined dots. The West is mostly blue to pale green, with a lighter yellow-green band along parts of coastal California. Alaska and Hawaii appear as smaller inset maps near the lower left, and a blue-to-red legend along the bottom explains the similarity scale.

When your neighbor works at a bakery sometimes surprise pie appears on your doorstep 😂

A clear rectangular food container sits on a wooden table, holding several pieces of homemade rhubarb dessert beneath a snap-on lid with black side latches. Two strips of bright green tape are handwritten in black marker: “STRAW. – RHUBARB” and “(crust got a tiny bit burnt on this one, but it’s still delish!).” The browned pastry pieces are visible through the lid, including darker, slightly overbaked crust along the edges.

A thick slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie rests on a white plate on a wooden table. The filling is glossy and deep red, with visible pieces of rhubarb and strawberry beneath a golden-brown top crust and a darker, flaky outer edge. A silver fork lies in the foreground, while a red-and-orange striped cloth is loosely draped behind the plate, giving the scene a cozy homemade-dessert feel.

Tallie is excited to alert her bluesky friends that it's almost Friday

A small black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands on a paved neighborhood path, looking up at the camera with bright eyes and a wide, open-mouthed grin that gives the dog an unmistakably cheerful expression. Its thick white chest ruff contrasts with its dark coat, and a pale blue leash runs along the lower right edge of the photo. Dry golden grass, shrubs, and concrete steps rise behind the dog, suggesting a late-summer walk. The Sheltie looks delighted and energetic, as if very pleased that Friday is almost here.

My airline pilot husband sometimes gets assigned Hawaii flights, & I'm very jealous, & he has told me that I could certainly tag along and stay in his hotel room. And... today I did just that! Burned miles to fly Hawaiian to HNL while he started his trip flying to California.

A large white passenger Airbus airplane is parked at airport gate A2, connected to a jet bridge on the right. The aircraft’s rounded nose, cockpit windows, left engine, and front landing gear are clearly visible, with ground equipment and hoses positioned around it. Elevated concrete roadways or rail lines cross the background beneath a dramatic sky of dark gray clouds and patches of sunlight.

A close-up of a small black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog standing on a paved garden path on a sunny day. The Sheltie looks slightly to the side with its mouth open and pink tongue out, framed by a thick black mane and fluffy white chest. Behind the dog, tall golden ornamental grasses glow dramatically in the sunlight, with leafy shrubs and neighboring houses softly visible in the background.

A small black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands on a wide paved garden path, viewed from slightly above. The dog looks off to the left with its mouth open, its fluffy black coat and large white ruff making its compact body look almost round; a blue leash patterned with black dogs stretches toward the camera. Tall golden grasses and other garden plants line the path, with patches of bright afternoon sunlight and cool shade creating strong contrast across the scene.

I got up from my spot on the sofa and:

A small, very fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog is completely conked out on a dark gray sofa, curled against a pale pink cushion with its face buried in its enormous white chest ruff. Its front paws stretch loosely in front while its back legs and white-tipped paws sprawl comfortably behind, surrounded by a mass of long black fur. Beside the sofa is a blue ottoman holding a wooden tray and a glass of water, while light wood cabinets and pale storage bins fill the background. The Sheltie’s deeply relaxed, face-down sleeping position gives the cozy scene an especially sleepy, end-of-the-day feel.

A small, fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog lounges lengthwise across a dark gray sofa, leaning against a pale pink cushion. The Sheltie has its front legs crossed comfortably in front of its enormous white chest ruff and looks toward the camera with sleepy, half-closed eyes. Its long black coat spreads across the sofa, with white paws peeking out at either end. The relaxed pose and slightly drowsy expression give the scene a cozy, contented feel.

Because Dog Nerd Tallie doesn't care what kind of training class we do, so long as we are doing training activities, we took another Level 2 class this morning. Worked on spin, place, leave it (hard while walking!), sit/down/stand & other things. She was soooooo happy. Look at this goober.

A small, very fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands facing the camera in the middle of an indoor obedience class. The Sheltie’s thick dark mane frames its face, with a narrow white blaze down its muzzle and a large white chest ruff; its mouth is open with its pink tongue peeking out, giving it an alert, cheerful expression. A pale green leash lies loosely on the dark training-room floor beside the dog. In the softly lit background, another dog sits near a person, reinforcing the busy but calm group-class setting.

Tallie living her best life with her border collie buddy

A small bi-black Shetland Sheepdog stands on the left side of a hardwood floor, while a black-and-white Border Collie sits on the right, both looking up attentively at the camera. The Sheltie’s long, fluffy coat forms a round silhouette around their small body, with a white chest ruff and a happy, slightly open-mouthed expression. The Border Collie sits neatly with ears perked, bright eyes, and a white-tipped tail curled behind them. The room appears to be a cozy home office or living space, with a teal sofa on the left, white cabinets and a desk with an office chair in the background, and warm indoor lighting casting soft shadows across the floor. Both dogs have the unmistakable look of patiently waiting for a treat or a cue from the person taking the photo.
