Shark (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and her Big Dog friends (Central Asian Shepherds), with a bonus English Shepherd and a Lab X Springer mix.
Also Shark saves a whole branch from the pond, very important work.

BROWN DOG BIRTHDAY!!!
It’s three years of Molly day! Three years of slapping me for food, roaming in the river, speaking in tongues, dingoeing, big dog naps, and creating Rules For Molly. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Unbelievable Cute: Tristan boops Gwyn mid-sploot 🥰
And two cavaliers we met in the waiting room, 2yrs and 14 weeks. I got to hold the baby puppy while we were waiting for Gwyn's x-rays.

Neighbor's dog Bailey
@farm-paws literally thought this was your beast for a good 10 seconds

If you want to know how dog swimming time went today, I told Molly to go get what I had thrown into the water, which she couldn’t find because it was in Woody’s mouth.
So she just attempted to retrieve Woody instead

She got bitten by an ant and she was so sad and dramatic about it
On today's expedition, the Prince and Princess encountered a ferocious yeti!
The Princess took refuge in a handy cave and atop a friendly hill.
But then the yeti played with a squeaky ball, and the Princess realized they were not so different after all. *boop*
The Prince knew this yeti of old, and was well aware that her ferociousness was forgivable clumsiness.

We got a tractor!
I didn’t expect Molly to have a huge issue with it cause machines don’t bother her, and turns out she cares so little about it that I had to keep calling her out of the road of it because she was more interested in what we were doing, than the giant death machine making lots of noise right beside her. She even did tricks for me when I was sitting on the ground because my pocket full of dog food is more interesting. She’s a weirdo who does not believe in being afraid of machines.

She would like you to know that she loves you. She mightn’t know who you are. But she loves you.
Yesterday Tristan had his first just-for-fun trip since we realized that he was getting terribly motion sick. We've worked on the accompanying car anxiety and done the "short low-stress trips" thing and had varying degrees of success with necessary trips like his pre-neuter/neuter surgery. (Stopping after a short time to let him get the misery under control seems to help the most. We're picking routes based on where we can safely pull over and leashwalk for a few minutes.)
For the first time yesterday, Tris was fairly perky the whole car trip; he even grr-barked at... something? at a stop sign. (Wind in the foliage? The stop sign? Passing cars? Don't know, glad he was alert and looking around instead of sick and shaking.)
Tris enjoyed seeing Molly the goldendoodle and trying to play with the young humans, and sniffing a whole yard and house full of new sniffs. We might get enthusiasm for Going in the Car out of him yet.

A larger white dog, Molly the goldendoodle, tries to get their attention by standing in the way. Don't worry Molly, they just need to do some sniffing first, then they'll play more.]

If I become concerned that my dog is conducting extensive contraband smuggling operations using only his natural talents (flappity lip flomps and bulgy hamster cheeks), should I:
a) congratulate him and request a cut of the proceeds,
b) report him to the authorities, or
c) take him and flee the country?
[Image Description 1: Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel, is lying on a daybed, looking perfectly innocent.

One time my dog was standing around looking suspicious, but on initial inspection I couldn’t see anything wrong. She continued to just stand there, staring at me. I walk over to her, she didn’t move, and gently opened her mouth. She had a squeaker in there, just nestled there on her tongue. She hadn’t even been chewing on it, just smuggling it around in her mouth.
All our other cockers carried toys around like a security blanket 😊 it’s just, we could *see* the toys in their mouth, even small ones. Tris has this built-in smugglin’ pouch that hides toys of surprising size.
Molly loves to steal underpants and socks. She’ll fit them entirely in her mouth so we can’t see anything and goes around grumbling like she does when we’re going to take something from her so we know she’s hiding something in there. It helps that she has a big beard and mustache to cover anything hanging out the side!
THE WHOLE THING in her mouth? *bwahahaha* Oh, Molly.
