Somewhere in Maine. It was a rough night but about to soothe our problems with lobster rolls from the “best lobster roll in the state” (Red’s apparently).
This morning's #dog walk, which preceded the "being dragged down the trail by energetic 75 lb dog who has seen a squirrel" session. (Edited for less dog butt)

I got to photograph Rojo when i saw him on a Fire Department boat that came up to a little floating dock extension on one of the big docks on our waterfront here in Puget Sound / Elliott Bay.

Our first San Marzano tomato just self-harvested. Kaylee was curious, so I let her have a sniff. I'm going to regret that for the rest of the season. #kauai#farming#tomato#dog#DogsOfMastodon
Bruce The Dog 🥹
He’s not a cuddler or a lapdog but he does insist on being in the same room and within view at all times, preferably laying at arm’s length on the couch.
Bruce has been our best pal for about 2 years now and this old man could not be any more spoiled or loved.
My doggle goes in the river, puddles, mud, sand, and he has a low-slung undercarriage so he always traps a lot of it. I chuck him in the shower and rinse him down, but it's sometimes two or three times a day! I don't use any shampoo, but is this bad for him? #Dog
Today right-hand-turning-only house sitting German #dog had a bath.
He did not want a bath.
He had a bath because despite being a very very small brick-shaped furry potato, on day 3 after his previous bath and tooth brush he starts to emit a stench that can only be comparable to the flatulence emitted by a stegosaurus who has been going hard on baked beans with extra beans. It's tangible. It lingers.
While having the bath, he emitted a long, low--and above all continuous--groan. The kind you imagine a coffin lid making as it opens to emit all the horrors within, as he did with his breath weapon until the doggie toothbrush was deployed. The groan continued through the tooth brushing. Indeed the groan continued until he realized I wasn't paying attention anymore and then changed to a disgruntled sigh that continued until I administered the towel to his soggy self.
Then then when he got out of the bath, instead of shaking off the water, he looked expectantly at the hair dryer as if to say "Groom me minion".
All was forgiven however, when he was then let onto the balcony to eyeball his nemesis, a very rotund Berliner pigeon who is conveniently far enough away not to beat him up, but close enough that he can convince all onlookers that he would win a battle if it came to it. (He wouldn't.)
