Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

Little Deeliebob has been building so much bravery around strangers! This past weekend, she went to another disc competition with me and played some new games. She also got to practice interacting with strangers by waving at them, which gives her a way to learn about people while feeling safe.

New blog on shaping behavior! There must be an easier way than waiting for my dog to offer a million approximations, right?

And, lest anyone thinks that Deelie is a "calm," "thoughtful," "easy" dog to teach to sit pretty, I give you the boingedy baby:

Got a dog who acts differently in trials than they do when you're practicing at home? Make sure you're reinforcing more than just their performance in the ring. sarahowendogtraining.com/blog/competi...

Super cool :) Certainly fits with what I saw with my own dog 4 or 5 years ago, when Silas and I played around with speech buttons.

Drove down toward Austin yesterday to play some disc. Everyone did phenomenally, despite a day of rain. Rosie earned her second Unobtanium Up – just one more & she'll have her Disc Dog Unobtanium title! Deelie also did great, but Cheaters was the star of the day, with several personal bests.

One of my favorite self-care strategies is handcrafting beauty.
A couple of months ago, I started making pretty biothane dog gear. Most of it is for my own dogs, or for family member's dogs, but I do have several that I'm selling.
If you're interested in anything you see here, send me a PM :)

Two snapshots today illustrate the difference between the economic—and therefore the societal—visions of the Biden-Harris administration and of the incoming Trump administration.
