I have had an eventful weekend! Well, sort of. On Thursday I felt like I was coming down with a head cold, which kind of sucks. On Friday afternoon I was washing my hands and I suddenly sneezed so hard that I tweaked my back, which promptly went into muscle spasms. And every time I coughed, sneezed, or moved for the next day it went into spasm.
Getting old! Every day is a new adventure.
My back isn’t spasming any more, anyway. So have a crow.
Our last Pride post: I ran into this pup at pride and immediately thought of a 1970s cartoon called Help, It’s The Hair Bear Bunch!
I have a couple more pups to post from Pride. This one looks suspiciously leonine!
I dropped by San Francisco’s Pride celebration last weekend. A couple of times, actually: once on Saturday, and then again to see the parade on Sunday. I didn’t see any dogs in the parade, although I admit I didn’t see all of it. But I did see an awful lot of canine spectators!
No hovertext or captions, too many dogs.
My notes say ‘Daphne 11 mutt of the world’. I’m not entirely sure what that means, or what the story behind it was, but I thought it was important that you know it. I do remember that I mentioned that she looked a little like a dingo, though!
So I have all my photos stored in Apple’s ‘Photos’ app, which in general works pretty well for me. I liked Aperture better, but Apple discontinued it. I’ve tried a couple of alternatives, but one of them was missing a few features I needed, and the other was… by Adobe. Which nope.
The Photos app had a ‘search’ function for a long time, but in the last couple of macOS releases it’s become accurate enough to be useful. So, like, if I type ‘cat’ into the search bar, most of the things it comes up with are pictures of cats! The only problem is, there seems to be no way to sort the results! So they’re just in a totally random order, and pictures from eight years ago are interspersed with pictures from yesterday. So if I am looking for a cat picture I took a month ago, there’s… no way whatsoever to find it?
That’s insane. WTF, Apple!
Anyway, I just spent around 15 minutes looking for a cat picture I was sure I hadn’t used yet, and this is what I came up with. So here you go… a void with a plushie fishie.
Zoe is eleven! She’s still as energetic as younger greyhounds, though: she zooms all over the place for half an hour every day, and is a couch potato for the other 23 and a half.
Jindos are among the least social breeds I’ve run across. I think that’s mostly because they are mostly rescued street dogs, though, I don’t think it has as much to do with the breed. (Though admittedly shibas, who look very similar, are pretty standoffish too.) Fortunately for San Francisco, though, Yuna (4) is a friendly, curious pup!
Oh man. Atlas is five, and… and… well just LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT THIS DOG.
Whaaaaaat? If Maizy is a full (four-year-old) Irish setter, where did her RIDICULOUS SIDEBURNS come from?? I have no idea, or I’d go there to visit immediately!
