I managed to stump him on a puzzle hes solved by putting the best treats in the spot you have to solve the rest to get at. He can't let go of that tasty smell long enough to remember how the puzzle works. Hits his weak spot directly. Hopefully it'll teach him a little about life and junk

An Australian shepherd play bows in frustration at an unsolved puzzle feeder. The shepherd is red Merle, the puzzle is green white and yellow, and the floor is dark fake hardwood

I remember getting in trouble for not knowing my home phone number in third grade. I still think the school had more obligation to know that than a 3rd grader

If someone came up to me wearing one of these and they pulled some weed out of the fob hole? Well I would follow that person into hell

"Nono, im only using autistic as a slur for the bad people, you see. Im only saying it because it makes *them* mad."

Yes, just hold still while I get my garrote

I missed my window for today. The dog has recharged by napping while I resisted, so now I have to go outside until dark 😩

How do you think that's going?

I worry so much for old Galore, especially as he puts on years, but I can't make his owner keep him inside, and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss his morning greetings

The only classics I like have a gold binding that tastes like a battery feels when you lick it!

Why are there fucking 8 year Olds on motorcycles. I'd like to be able to walk my dog and not be around 8 year Olds on motorcycles what in the fuck

Remember that kids show where cars were sentient but there were still busses full of people in a hideous perversion of technology where humans exist only to give meaning to objects and are props for their play acting of life?

I wonder if that affected any kids somehow

Today from the permanent construction next door - a single worker wanders around the property for 20 minutes between sessions of random hammering at exactly the cadence of a door knock, setting all the dogs in earshot off

Plex just tried to default me into sharing what I'm watching and why? Why would I want even my friends to have passive surveillance of what I watch? Who is that for? The best case is it prevents us having a conversation about what shows are good.

I swear this dog knows when my infusion is coming and pushes his envelope thinking I'll be too worn out to push back but all it does is make me extremely irritable and or emotional about it

God steam is garbage. 2/3 times I try to launch it it just infinite hangs at some point

I gotta say it kinda sucks living between a mind and body for whom one big thing a week is overwhelming. I would like to be able to do two or even three things and maybe for "big" to be extended beyond, like, hung out in the next town over for a few hours. That'd be neat.

I wonder how much longer everyone can pretend that the president isn't ignoring court orders. So far there's been a steady enough drip of fake wins where they take 1% of the overreach back for people to believe the courts have any power if they want but it's gotta be getting hard.

I got bean

A pot of orange beef, pea, bean, and carrot curry

Got all the way up to adding the beans to my curry and realized I bought 3 more cans of crushed tomato instead of kidney beans and now I have 6 cans of crushed tomato and no bean

Lazy sunday

A red merle Australian shepherd lies on his side on his dog bed with his head against the wall and an annoyed expression that I stopped petting him to take a picture

You ever feel like it was wrong to evolve past worms, and the only two things we should be doing are writhing and gnawing?
