I am investigating this enemy water vessel that washed up on shore. I think it is a German U-Boat, because it is shaped like a U. Mom says we aren’t enemies with the Germans anymore, but I will drag it to the yard before it can fire on my pontoon boat. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black mini poodle has his face stuck into the middle of a blue multicolored striped floatie of some kind. It is almost entirely on the dark colored sand, with the end of it just touching the edge of the water. Yellow leaves are floating on top of the water as well.

The poodle still has his face stuck in the middle, but the floatie is upside down and the bottom is all blue. Poodle and floatie are on green grass, and there is just a bit of the dark sand on the upper corner of the pic. Between sand and grass is the burnt orange top of the lake seawall.

A little bit moved but still on the grass. The poodle looks to be violently dragging the floatie with one corner in his mouth and his ears flying backwards. His tail is up and curled and his front legs are wide apart for leverage.

Mom thought she was funny when she told me not to 💦 in the pool. Makes no sense. If you peemail in the water, that’s like waving a pen in the air to write a letter. #WaterWednesday #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

A mini poodle that looks all black from this angle is standing in shallow lake water. There are a few little waves around him. He looks quite occupied with his face just above the water, probably watching little fish. There is a sandy pebbly beach in the background.

Cranes have been digging in the yard, so tall mom politely asked them to leave. One of them had a bit of a temper tantrum about it. I stayed close to mom’s side to protect her and not because they are scary with stabby things on their heads. #sandhillcranes

This is how to sit downward rather than sit down. I’m in the middle of couch parkour, but like in karate, sometimes I get into poses of readiness like dachi. I’m always ready. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is sitting funny with his hind end on the back of the couch and his front legs on the seat cushion holding him up. There is a green tennis ball slightly in front of and between his paws. His head is turned to the left of the picture.

Banjo demonstrates entropy. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle wearing a red collar is lying on the back of a grey green sofa. His tail is wagging so furiously that it is blurry. There is a multicolored ball that the lake gifted him today in front of him and another squeaky ball behind him. One leg is hanging down so he can put his paw on a light blue couch pillow.

This same poodle is sitting on a rug which is over ugly wall to wall office carpeting. With a long wrinkle. Sigh. Even worse, he has completely disemboweled that same multicolored ball.

Squeakathon!!!! Is Banjo the first one to post squeaking? @siggyschnauzer.bsky.social @hugoandhuman.bsky.social @tommythetoypoodle.bsky.social I’m not sure who else to at, but you three are the instigators.

Here is my audition to become one of @superdoxies.bsky.social frosty paws ambassadors. Mine is nondairy, because barfing. I was supposed to say a few lines about how to make them, but my mouth was full. Sound up for slushy munching (mom says sorry about the background noise). #dogs #poodles

Jake the leopard cat likes to come around and ask my mom for treats. Even though I’m taller than him, he is 19 pounds, and I am 20 pounds. I asked mom why, and she said he is dense. Peanut butter is the densest thing I know, so I guess I love a peanut butter cat now. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is sitting on a mottled black doormat in front of a glassdoor. In the other side is a spotted cat cleaning himself on a flowery outdoor mat. The poodle is facing diagonally to the right with his body more in the direction of the door. Meanwhile his head is turned over his shoulder toward the camera and tilted backwards like he is asking a question.

#ThrowbackThursday to when I was a monarch of the Poodtagenet dynasty. During my reign, the House of Lancatter and the House of Bork fought the War of the Noses. I was a great king but lost power due to the Magna Pawta. I really should get my own Wikipedia entry. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles h

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on a white cushioned chair with thin wooden arms. He is wearing a red collar with stripes and looking to the left of the photo. There is a hint of long drapes behind him.

A mindful Monday turns into a #TongueOutTuesday which might lead into a Won’t Look Wednesday. #ToT #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on a blanket on a chair with a throw pillow. He is wearing a light colored bandana with fruits on it. On the wooden arm of the chair is a book entitled The Mindful Day.

On the other side of this door is neighbor cat. I don’t talk smack to him, because we are the same size. But neither of us can open this door, so I’m thinking of my best insult. Oh darn, I thought too long and he left. Next time. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is standing by a door on the doormat looking out. He is wearing a light colored bandana with fruit on it.

Tricked into groomeration!! I thought we were going to the car wash. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is sitting in a dog hammock in the back of the car. He is fuzzy and rounded from his new haircut and wearing a light blue bandana with cartoon fruit, like an apple and kiwi. He is staring at the camera in an accusatory way.

Same poodle is lying on one of those long pile faux fur blankets with a dark melon and gold colored sofa pillow against his back. Behind him is a glass patio door, though you can see only a little of it. He is looking at the camera but because of the backlight you cannot see his eyes.

Banjo: knock knock Me: Who’s there? Banjo: do you believe i’m the only one who can do this? Me: Dog on a log? No Banjo: but this particular log Me: Most dogs could sit on that log. Banjo: but believe i’m THE dog on THE log Me: Why? Banjo: “Thes” are the articles of faith. Get it? Me:😑 #dogs #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is wearing a blue harness and a red collar. He is sitting on a log with a flat side cut on top to be bench-like. His retractable leash is beside him. The background is green grass.

If I were Kingpin, I could open a nightclub. Here I am imagining the dance floor. I like the idea of a bed in my VIP area, but I need more villainous pillow cases. Mom says I won’t like Cristal champagne, so I would have bananas that come from the Banana region of France. #dogs #poodles

Miniature poodle is standing at the back end of a wide open space in a hotel room. The usual table, bed, and window are behind him, but there is nothing except luggage and a small cooler in the large entry space. The floor is fake wood, as it is a dog friendly room.

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on a white bed covering, but the pillows at his back have a floral design with foxes and deer. Mom brings pillow cases when she travels because weirdness. The headboard is darkish blue, and you can see the bottom of some hotel contemporary “artwork” above it.

Leftovers from the trip: me politely asking the receptionist at grandma’s for a milkbone. Grandma’s friend says her granddog does the same. My tail is blurry from wagging. Also, me exploring the storage maze. Mom got the big box that crowded the car from here. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle with a red and multicolored striped collar is standing with his front paws up on a counter at assisted living. You can see the receptionist’s hands.

He got the leash for free from the hotel, because the staff guy at the desk thought he was cute.

Mom wanted to take pictures of painting sketches she did when she was young, so she could toss the originals. I wasn’t sure what good boys do in that situation, so I walked over and sat on them. Must’ve been correct because she laughed and took my photo. #NoRespect #IamArt #dogs #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle stands on top of several sheets of large paper with black paint drawings on them. They are strewn haphazardly on a wood looking floor. He is wearing a red collar and looking at the camera.

Same, but now he is sitting like a good boy and waiting for his treat. This all happened because when he was learning the “place” command, mom would toss something on or simply point to a place on the floor, and he would go and sit inn that spot. Once the paintings hit the floor, he just assumed.

I usually get the whole backseat, but moms stuffed the car with things from grandma’s. I wanted to practice a TikTok dance on the way home but had no room. Mom planned to read work stuff but there was no room in her head, so we were in the same boat, she says. This me car sleeping. #dogs #poodles

Close up of the face of a black and tan mini poodle sleeping in the car. There is some netting in front of his nose from the dog hammock. His head is resting on the console and against the bottom corner of a black plastic box.

Mom and I climbed the rock mountain behind our hotel, which is so big that there is a “forest” on it. I sat like a good boy and when mom said “good boy” I asked for a treat. The blep is kind of like an action shot. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is sitting on orange pine needles with rock peeking through. The pine trees are behind and around him. He is wearing a red with stripes collar and a red leash. He is looking at the camera.

Same but a little more closeup. His tongue is out in a blep, and he is looking a little to the left out of frame

Mom says the barn door at the last hotel isn’t so private when fully shut. For me this is in “feature not a bug” territory, though I get accused of bugging sometimes even though I’m clearly a feature. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

The face, chest, and top of one leg of a Black and tan mini poodle can be seen through a vertical space between the back end of a sliding barn door and the wood trim of the wall.

The poodle has turned around and walked away and you can see all of him from the back. The tan markings on his back lawns and under the base of his tail are visible.

Instead of a hotel room, I reserved a cloud. It was clean and spacious, but mom didn’t like the coffee. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on a bed surrounded by white linens. His head is on a pillow and his back is snuggled into another pillow. He is looking at the camera and has a content expression.

Banjo 🪕 🐩@despood.bsky.social · last mo.

In honor of another road trip, this is a #ThrowbackThursday to my last one. I liked this room. If mom instead tries to stop at a Motel 6 I might immediately barf on the rug to send a message about my preferred accommodations. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is standing in the foreground of a hotel room. The rug, drapes, and small ottoman are patterned in a contemporary style. The bed is unmade.

Mommy asked me to put this in the can, but she bought these cans so the poods before me wouldn’t look in the garbage for tissues to shred as a protest for getting left at home. I think this is what they call a laps in judgment, where now I get to put my head on her lap and judge her. #dogs #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is standing in the camera looking up. On the floor in front of him is an empty toilet paper roll. They are next to a metal trash can with a cover that opens with a foot pedal.

We aren’t going anywhere, so for #InternationalDogPhotogtaphyDay, this is me doing a modern art where I “emulate a cascading waterfall over granite rocks. The inherent beauty of form evokes the majesty of nature but also how danger stalks the unwary beneath its graceful surface.” - an art critic

A small black and tan poodle lies curved on two bluish sofa pillows. His back end is on a horizontal upside down one, and he is leaning on the upright one. His position puts his back end higher than his head and front paw, which are down on the sofa.

Banjo 🪕 🐩@despood.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I can’t seem to get comfortable on this I pood pillow. Mommy needs to read reviews before purchasing. Oh, never mind. She said it’s an iPad stand. There had better be a new pillow for me tomorrow. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on a couch squeezed between the arm and a small triangle-shaped object. It is fabric covered but you can’t really tell if it is soft or not. There is a couch pillow behind him, and he is lit by soft lamplight.

Similar, but now he is lying with his his head to the left of the pic and on top of the object. From this angle you can only see the oblong side of the object, which is grey and has a kind of a lip on all three corners.

This is not a weasel. It is me as a puppy. For a short while, that rawhide was my best buddy. I know now that you shouldn’t chew on your buddy until they disappear, but back then mommy had not taught me about “toxic friendships.” #ThrowbackThursday #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Puppy mini poodle with black with tan markings on his face and legs, is lying on a couch with a blanket. He has rolled on his back but his head is still right side up. He is holding a small rawhide stick in his mouth.

Banjo 🪕 🐩@despood.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I don’t know how this got hollow. Could be termites or woodpeckers, but it smells like children. Which possibly means that human children start as beavers who make nice log tunnels but then grow up to be our far less industrious parents. I might publish this research. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is in the middle of the pic peering through the opening of a small tunnel (in a playground). The tunnel is orange brown and has a texture simulating smooth wood, as if it were a very large hollowed out log. The photographer is on the other side of the tunnel looking in.

Now the poodle is a couple of steps in the tunnel with his head down sniffing the way before him. He is in the shady half, but the sunny half is just a few steps away.

These are my baby plant prisoners. Mom says no peemail inside the plant jail. They better hope they don’t get parole, though, because mom has a juicer. I might uproot some and carry them to the open yard when mom isn’t looking, because I’m sort of a hero. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is standing on mulch in between two garden boxes made of corrugated metal they are full of green plants. The chicken wire fencing is in the background and in the foreground beside one box is a ziploc bag full of leafy greens. He is looking up at the camera but is leaning into one box that he had been scoping out seconds before the pic.

I was out with friends and got a little leaf piercing on my snout. It’s not permanent like a tattoo, but mom will still probably freak out. Ballers gotta ball tho’. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is standing m the driveway next to California poppies in full bloom. He is wearing a red collar and looking up at the camera. There is a small leaf on his snout near his eye.

Banjo: are those gramma crackers made of grandmas? Me: You mean Graham crackers? Banjo: is grey-ham old ham? Me: No Banjo: is a hamburger old ham? Me: No Banjo: so i’m not eating a grandma made of old ham. Me: Banjo: then i’d like a grandham cracker please #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle is lying on the back of his grandma’s couch. His body is facing away from the camera, but his head is looking back. In the distance to the right is a blue graham cracker box standing out amongst other items on the counter.

Now he is closeup with his scruffy face directly in front of the camera. His expression says he wants something.

Mom gave me an A for being a good therapy dog. It would have been an A+ except for how I sometimes would growl a little at a few of the strangers that came in. It was only at first and very quiet. Oh wait, mom says she said “Hey!” and not A. Same thing. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Black and tan mini poodle lying on a grey and white patterned armchair with his head on the armrest. He is looking at the camera and has clearly been a very good boy.
