They only ever want to hang out with each other when it's inconvenient for me--trying to clean the room and that little corner past Wash is my clothes closet 🙄

He may be almost 4 years old, but he'll always be my puppy.

Tonight's project is teaching Wash that muzzles are awesome. He doesn't really need one right now, but sometimes he's scaredy 😱 sometimes he's an asshole 😠 and we frequently take big adventures near mountains and cliffs. And all of those things mean that someday he might need one. And nobody has ever said "Oh I wish my dog wasn't muzzle trained!" Because we shaped a head halter behavior, shaping this literally took about 5 seconds. After getting the basic behavior, I smushed some peanut butter in there so I could attach everything. As you can see... He did not give a single shit.

This was a much-needed break from the work day ❤🌨️☃️ (at Red Rocks Park)

Annie got to go to a seminar this morning at #ShowMeTheBiscuit, so Wash gets to come hang out a work. Side note: Wash is the best dog.

How to tire out your cattle dogs: loaded @ruffwear packs, snowy trails, tug-of-stick. They were so good today. (at Mud Pond)

And then Wash spooned with a giant Teddy bear and Becca died 😭😭😭😍

We've located a haven; a paradise; an oasis of wonder amongst the arctic frigid stupid frozen tundra that is our part of the neighborhood. Blessed be the Burton field.

Where'd you get your face--the toilet store? (This is his "I had an agility class but I'd like to continue playing" face)

Dreaming of @longtrailbeer IPA. Sorry dog... You're a dog...

Wash is so happy to be home that he didn't even run away from couch cuddles.
