earlier this week the doggy cam invented stairs in our single-floor home. today it’s claiming my dog climbed onto the kitchen counter. (she would never - and the clip attached to the notification proved it!)

i’ll think of something to write here one of these days
doggy cam just notified me my German shepherd is climbing stairs and i have so many questions. our apartment is one floor!
in dog news, despite the older gal fooling no one with her acts of indifference to her new baby sister every morning post-breakfast the kitchen is GSD Thunderdome™️ while the boy and i get ready for work. of course, it’s all innocent faces sitting amongst toy carnage when we check on the ruckus.
one fun(ny) fact i’ve observed over the years of working with a guide dog is whenever the driver leaves the vehicle they react like it’s a catastrophic event! i guess they think we’re stranded? 🤔
first road trip with the shepherds. older gal is already done with this $%#@! 😂 but her little sister is oh so excited!

baby shepherd enjoying her pre-breakfast romping. meanwhile through a combination of it’s too early for this and being an outright grump, her older sister tries desperately to ignore everything.
it’s actually a recording of me saying “hey, listen!” in as high a pitch as i could muster. we had to edit out the ensuing giggling.
Wifey is very fond of The Legend of Zelda. So I set her text message chime to the "Hey Listen!" from Ocarina of time. Thanks to my hearing aid bluetooth I now have a little pixie chiming "Hey Listen!" in my ear at surreal times and places like work meetings.
i interrupt your feed for this important photo. you’re welcome.
the silly antics of my new #guidedog have inspired a game. i call it “does the dog have ADHD or is this just two-year-old behavior?” current results are inconclusive, but very entertaining! (for context, as i type, this she has a bone under her paw and is spinning in circles trying to chew it.)
look, i’m truly honored, but we are undoubtedly screwed if i’m 50% of this chosen hero solution. also, my feeties are always cold; i need them waterproof shoes. (i do appreciate the 80s bangers that are on constant repeat in our transport, though.)
QUESTION OF THE DAY: FOOTLOOSE era KEVEN BACON knocks at your door, he's holding a high-tech laser rifle and a hovercraft floats outside. He says the aliens have invaded and only the two of you can STOP them. My question is, it's raining...do you go immediately or wait to put on your galoshes?
grand jury duty has been way more interesting and enjoyable than being a trial juror. but my one complaint is i can’t use my phone all day and so couldn’t document how abundantly adorable my new #guidedog was!
baby’s first Uber. (she’s so curious but doing an admirable job trying not to sniff EVERYTHING.)
that bugged out eyeball says it all about the current state of things. 😂
i’m amazed how few people have noticed i am working a different shepherd. (outside of friends and officemates who obviously knew about this beforehand.) they look nothing alike and are vastly different sizes but i guess to most people GSDs are interchangeable. unrelated photo #justcause.
this happy shepherd had a very pleasant outing with her new dog walker. retirement appears to be agreeing with her.
i thought there was a GSD in my kitchen, but seems i was mistaken. 🤔
new #guidedog got an early start on the job thanks to grand jury duty. she’s doing a very good job all things considered.
my current work environment isn’t exactly filled with the highest level of motivation.
hey, fellow NYers, today is primary day: don’t forget to vote if you haven’t already! (this reminder is brought to you by your friendly neighborhood election hotline volunteer.)
First day of training for wifeys new guide dog. I treated her to a giant tennis ball after the day was done. It lasted 5 very fun minutes.
seriously, people, it’s a good thing she’s retiring because this #guidedog has no sense of self-preservation!
