Odin carried around the same stick for 15 minutes on a walk until he saw a bigger one lying on the sidewalk and swapped it with the immediacy of an RPG player

The unsung hero of the Olympic-champion US women’s gymnastics team is a very good boy
Beacon, a golden retriever therapy dog, was a crucial part of the Americans’ preparations for the Olympics as he helped soothe athletes’ nerves

"With his fluffy butterscotch coat, eyes as soulful as Leonard Cohen and the official credential that hangs around his neck and reads “Goodest Boy”, Beacon has earned celebrity standing in both gymnastic and dog-loving circles."

PSA: Fireworks can be pretty scary for pets so make sure all furry & feathered family members are safe & secure in the U.S. tonight.

Like many dogs before her, Rigby has discovered her love of tennis balls. 😍 (Now I need to find some squeaky balls & that’s gonna completely blow her mind!)

The dog next door - Rohan really wants to say "Hi" and get a nice rub as a greeting. Cookies are a bonus, if you have one.

The new meds helped a little, but not enough. Kiwi’s last day was filled with sunshine, love, peace, and her favorite foods — blueberries and peaches.

She has been a joyful presence in our lives, and we will be forever grateful she chose us.

We promise to be there for and with them, right until the very last. And we promise to make the hard decisions, to not flinch, to not fade, but to stay true to that promise until the end. Run strong and free, Miss Kiwi. 💕

We got some bad news at the vet today, and I’m still trying to sort through my feelings, honestly. If the next few days bring some relief for our wee 14 year old Toy Poodle Kiwi, we might have a few more weeks or months with her — and that’s the best case scenario. We are fortunate to have such a kind and pragmatic vet, but…my heart hurts tonight. 😔

I told my husband that posting this could literally take down the instance and he is insisting I post it

I suppose this is a good excuse to share the source of this particular ectoparasite.

He’s also far more adorable than the previous image in my opinion. #dogsofmastodon /2

That's a pretty good stick.

Because fungal proteins are closer to animal proteins, fungi are an appropriate food for pets and humans. Koji and many fungal proteins contain all 10 canine essential amino acids in greater concentration than cow flesh.

We can grow fungi sustainably, using a fraction of the resources and land needed for cow, pig and chicken flesh - or even fish!

We were heartbroken to lose our sweet Happy last year. When we felt ready to welcome a new family member, this little peanut arrived with the name Capricorn & seems to fit right in. We think he’s pretty perfect.

Now don’t worry, I won’t bombard Mastodon w puppy pics, but if you’re interested to see him grow, we’re at https://www.instagram.com/adventures.of.capricorn?igsh=enZ6MW1ydmN5NDFt&utm_source=qr

And yes, I know not everyone likes Instagram, but this is an easy way for family & friends to follow his adventures from afar. 🐾 #dogsofmastodon

We finally got our #Merchtodon !!

The shipping price apparently covered the import taxes, which sweetened the deal.

Now I must figure out how to turn that into a #corgi shirt.

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Happy. She was the very best girl & we had so many adventures together. Happy hiked mountains in Colorado, camped with us in Texas, ran across California’s beaches & pranced through the Michigan snow.

She named herself Happy & loved every person she ever met. We have always felt extremely lucky to find her on Congress Ave & came to call her our Austin terrier since she was a little bit of every breed. We will miss her every day. #dogsofmastodon

I like #WorkFromHome because it's more comfortable... for my dogs.
