CJ Cherryh devoted a significant portion of a chapter of Invader to the protagonist making phone calls and composing an email and thinking about political bureaucracy and it has no business being one of the most absorbing passages from a work of fiction I’ve ever read, but it is. She was a master.

I love living in such a pleasantly walkable and community driven place. I want this for everyone.
I miss this so much. There isn't a natural water source for 30 miles that I'd let Keeso play in or drink because of agricultural runoff. Not a pleasant place to walk within that distance, either, except for the university campus, which isn't exactly a natural space, and it's too fucking hot anyway. I can drive 45 minutes to a national recreation area, but the ticks are just awful right now because the region is so over-populated with deer. Years ago there was a small effort to reintroduce a red wolf pack to the area but the public outcry absolutely quashed any possibility of that.
It is hard to love such a degraded environment. I remember reading articles by American indigenous folks about exactly this sort of thing, though I can hardly compare this frustrated experience of mine to the forced relocation and the kind of apocalyptic experiences of displaced native peoples and also, just, the people of color and poor white people who are relegated to these toxic areas of the south.
Complaints brought to you by a cool bridge we explored today. Would have been an excellent swimming spot, but you couldn't actually pay me to get in that glyphosate soup.
I took Keeso to a seminar a friend convinced me to attend. Michael Bishop's Egnition system or whatever -- essentially conditioning a low-level e-collar stim as a positive activating state. I was pretty much certain going in that I wouldn't to do such a thing for anything I plan on doing with Keeso, but this was local to me.
My mind isn't quite changed but I did learn some cool stuff. He does a lot with a clicker, too.
My main goal was to see how Keeso would handle this kind of environment. There were maybe eight or nine dogs in total crated in this little room, a couple were stressed and loud intermittently, there were three intact males with SSA in the room. I had sort of forgotten that this wouldn't be all that different from Keeso's time at the kennel? Anyway, he did great. I kept him covered when the males were out working, but he otherwise just napped and after a few complaints when we first got there, he didn't seem stressed. He looked happy and focused when he was out working once he'd warmed up. He did much better than a PSA-trained bullherder that was there!
So now I feel like I've unlocked more relevant events and seminars with him.
Keeso loves to put Tater's entire head in his mouth. She tolerates it well.
“Your pets only love you because you feed them”
Yeah well that’s also how your relationship with your parents starts out but more stuff happens after that doesn’t it

Sainsbury's dog meal and mixed dog biscuits, 1978. From the Sainsbury Archive.
an hour after two edibles and these boxes start communicating with me telepathically
I feel as though I've been pretty antsy and negative here on tumblr.com lately. Brain chemistry in flux, etc., but I don't want to fall into a habit of highlighting all my worries and other things that aren't going as well as I might hope. Sometimes venting becomes complaining becomes a negative bias about everything. Things do objectively suck in the world and I stand by what I've already mentioned I'm concerned about in my personal life, but I want to try to be better at setting that stuff aside and centering what's good sometimes. Blogs are good for that.
Not to sound like I'm insane and off my SSRIs, but I think I am questioning if some of Keeso's sudden bursts of frenetic energy at times might be behavioral symptoms of a focal seizure. He has an uncle who possibly has them, as well. Idk.
a ton of people have unexpectedly followed me over the last 2 days so here is my rent-lowering gunshot:
the american south is the most racially diverse and poorest region of the united states, and any political sentiment that treats the south is stupid or expendable is inherently racist and classist. a lot of y'all are racist and classist. the south is also the heart of american culture. argue with a wall. you cannot deny that everybody in the entire world does not emulate artists from atlanta. there is vested interest in keeping the south poor and uneducated BECAUSE this is the most racially diverse region in this country. if you actually give a fuck about progress, you would fight for the south, not mock us.
Diarrhea boy. He ate some maggoty food that some idiot slopped into the woods behind my mom's house. I'm the idiot that let him off leash and couldn't recall him off it when I realized what he was doing. His recall is a good 70%. We squeak by safely in most situations. He will not recall off of food laying around or off of deer. I am contemplating using an e-collar (thoughtfully, using Michael Ellis's escape-avoidance conditioning protocol) to get that number higher. I think I can use R+ to get him off food and possibly off the scent of deer, but I don't think it'll be enough to get back from seeing a deer and giving chase.
I'll definitely be using an e-collar on Tater the GSP. Since she doesn't live with me and I can't control how much food she has access to (she is portly and given table scraps), and lack of access to off-leash running is a significant welfare concern for her, I don't mind training her the quick way. I only see her twice a week for an hour or so, so it's difficult to get consistent engagement from her while honoring the fact that she just needs to move her body. Like it or not, I do think that using pressure for these sorts of things on a resilient dog is the quickest way to proof a learned behavior. But is it always necessary? Hell no.

Whoa, is this an actual real wolfdog on Craigslist for once?
people breeding apbts for bitesports is something i am strongly against but i understand why people do it, apbts are incredibly athletic fun dogs that give everything their all and also have stupidly strong jaws. like i get why that's enticing to someone who's into bitesports even if i think that an apbt that would bite someone even in a sports context is a bad example of the breed and should not be bred
what i DON'T understand is people trying to use collies for protection sports. like i don't think you could choose a less suitable breed if you tried
we already have herding dogs that excel at protection sports. they're called malinois.
i was on a social media platform the other day and was looking at someone’s page and they were like “hey if you’re looking for a breeder, make sure they do thorough health testing and have open take back policies” and i was like 👍 sounds right and then they were like “all crossbreeding is unethical!” and i was like. do you realize how you sound.
if you ever catch yourself concerned with maintaining the purity of a bloodline you really need to stop and think about how much you sound like a nazi. or perhaps a targaryen.
I have noticed several shelters in my area using AI to write sob-stories for adoptable animals and I fucking hate it. One learns nothing about the animal and it draws out all the well-meaning, bleeding heart folks who have no business getting another pet on a whim, especially one that has behavioral issues (lots of fear and environmental sensitivities, based on what can be gleaned from the descriptions).
I took Keeso to meet Tater and it was a success! No humping, minimal (but still some) grab-biting in play. He is still fairly serious, high-tailed and posturing, to start -- dare I say he is a socially dominant dog? -- but Tater is young and quick to appease. She isn't obnoxious about it. I expect she won't be interested in engaging in any resource conflicts, even as a mature adult. Once they figured each other out they had fun together!

if there's anything i think that's pretty neat about social media it's always going to be how we get glimpses into lives of people all over the world.... and their pets
Yay! Nana's house!
