I've found Terry Hayward's deaf dog training helpful with our pup Geo. Sharing this in case you could use simple & clear steps to form strong communication with visual cues. And Henry (a hearing dog learning visual cues) is adorable, too #DogsOfMastodon #DeafDog https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9etRF_rbNvo&ra=m

Often times, I take pictures when flowers and insects sway with the wind. This time, feels like the Rudbeckia caught the morning sunbeams.

a female carpenter bee let me know she's still here in the extreme heat. this morning, she buzzed near my head, found the few fresh salvia blooms, and came right up to my nose before leaving. #ribbonRefuge #bees

Geo just made a smooth mid air catch of one of his favorite toys. He immediately ended our fetch game, came over, and laid down with it. I'd like to think he's savoring the feeling. Remember to celebrate the small moments 💕 #DogsOfMastodon #DeafDog #Geo

Geo & the family made it thru needing an unexpected plumber visit. Another new experience. Plumbers were patient & kind ✌️ #DogsOfMastodon #Geo #DeafDog

"We rely on the earth, and the earth relies on us. Whether the earth is beautiful, fresh, and green or arid and parched depends on our way of walking. Please touch the earth in mindfulness, with joy and concentration. The earth will heal you, and you will heal the earth." Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is This Moment

RE: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/116893541666491703 Fellow Californians, get on the phones to Senators Schiff & Padilla & your house rep. Demand they block this horrid ecosystem destroying venture. Phone numbers for House and Senate offices, both voice and TTY, are available by calling the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 (voice) or 202-224-3091 (TTY) #CA #nature #conservation

Preparing for extreme heat again. Harvested about a dozen figs. Watered tree & other food crops. The native buckwheats are holding up and still producing blooms for the pollinators. #gardening #zone10b

Patiently waiting for any chance of a short walk between bad air and hot morning starting. The morning after Geo's first fourth of july fireworks. Keeping curtains closed, air filters whirring on high, and trying to keep a normal activity pattern helped- until the smells were undeniable. So it's been an unsettled time since 9 pm yesterday. #DogsOfMastodon #DeafDog #Geo

I'm on quite a few email lists as you might imagine. For every one I receive about the danger of fireworks AND how to still have fun, I'm emailing the PIOs back with the following... Dear , What would it take for Los Angeles County to lead California in banning fireworks? could make a generational difference. Regards, me

When Geo adopted us at 3 months old, we quickly learned he had a habit of burying his treasures. This morning, he had a taste of buttered toast. At 13 months, he still takes good care of the treasures #DogsOfMastodon #DeafDog #Geo
