dog updates:

#worldDogStar is working on teeter confidence. #dogAgility she’s also been killing it at #canicross!

#echoOfBrookside is rocking #treibball beginner. she chased after her first ball last week when it went off course!

#lokiOfPineview is still trying to find the right meds to manage his arthritis. rimadyl made him cough, so we paused that for now. he was astounding at the vet for the blood draw. #seniorDog

#echoOfBrookside is in advanced #rallyObedience now! that means she gets to work off-leash and do fun things like jumps. a little slow to respond at times, but i'm really happy with our performance. ❤️

#rallyObedience class last night was... entertaining. #echoOfBrookside was trying so hard to concentrate while #worldDogStar was being a whiny baby in her crate.

i've maintained instagram accounts for both #worldDogStar and #echoOfBrookside for quite some time, but i'm logging out and retiring them today with a link to this account instead.

meta can fuck right off. 😇

#echoOfBrookside got her third and final novice rally score back, which means she earned herself a title!

#echoOfBrookside obsessively eats grass in the yard, so she’s learning to wear a #muzzle, too! muzzles can be useful for all kinds of unwanted behaviors, not just bite risks.

#echoOfBrookside being real cuddly tonight. i blame the bath.

dog confessions:

- #worldDogStar fell asleep during desperate housewives.
- #echoOfBrookside had to get a bath because she stuck her head in #lokiOfPineview’s pee stream.

#chihuahua #borderCollie #rescueDog

#echoOfBrookside somehow got her head peed on by #lokiOfPineview, so i guess somebody’s getting a bath this afternoon. 🤦
