So we were pretty sure this cone would contain her. NOPE.

Woke up this morning & she had puked in the crate & then eaten the puke. 🤢 How? There is like 3 inches between the end of her nose and the edge of the cone!

(Apparently she can get 3 inches of ruff compression if she tries??? 🤨)

unrepentant doggo at the vet's office where we tried many sizes on her in an attempt to find one that she couldn't just shove into her fur ruff & eat kibbles off the floor in
A black and white Sheltie wearing a clear plastic cone collar stands in a vet lobby, looking up at the camera with tongue out and a happy expression despite the medical accessory. The dog wears a turquoise harness and pink leash. The setting appears to be indoors with white walls and what looks like kitchen cabinetry visible in the background. The cone reflects some overhead lighting, and the dog's fluffy white chest contrasts with their black face and ears.

Because it's just a great morning over here, Tallie got her cone off overnight (How??!?) and spent the night licking the stitches on her paw. 😭
She is totally unrepentant. Look at this, snoozling away with no cares while I text photos to the vet and freak out.
A black and white Sheltie wearing a clear plastic cone (Elizabethan collar) is fast asleep with eyes closed. The dog's fluffy white chest and tail are visible against a concrete floor that has a visible crack. In the background, there's a white textured wall and what appears to be a wooden baseboard with a metal door stop. The cone shows some scratches from her escape out of it last night.

WA State lawyer things: Hotel Murano in Tacoma keeps putting ads in my Insta stories. 😖😱

bc if you take the WA State Bar, it's held @ Tacoma Convention Center, & most people - me included- stay at the Hotel Murano.
Yes, I would like to be reminded of the 2 most stressful nights of my life, thx.😣
Instagram story screenshot from hotel_murano showing a sponsored post advertising a 'CYBER SALE' in large white text. The image shows the interior of what appears to be a modern hotel or retail space with clean white walls, recessed lighting, and glass display cases. In the foreground, two people are visible from behind - one person with short dark hair on the left and another person with curly dark hair on the right, both appearing to look at something off-screen.

Last year I read 101 books. I'm at 75 with 6 weeks left to 2025 right now. 🫣

(still doing way better than the years in law school, when I averaged about 30. Obviously not counting casebooks/study guides/other boring school reading.)

Cosmos! found on our drizzly walk this afternoon.
A black and white Sheltie sitting on a sidewalk, looking directly at the camera with a calm expression. Behind the dog is a large cluster of pink and white cosmos flowers with delicate, feathery green foliage spilling over the path. The dog wears a pink harness and leash "Close-up of the same Sheltie with brown eyes, now showing a happy, open-mouthed expression. The cosmos flowers create a beautiful frame around the dog's head, displaying various shades of pink, purple, and white blooms with yellow centers. The feathery foliage adds texture to the garden scene." "The Sheltie sitting alertly with tongue out and a joyful expression, positioned in front of the same cosmos flower display. The perspective shows more of the garden path and the full height of the flowering plants, which appear to be growing alongside a woven waddle fence.

Poor Tallie had to have follow up surgery on her paw after the one we had in June. She's definitely on the good drugs but send her all the ear scritches & good luck 💙
A close-up of the a fluffy black-and-white dog resting its head while wearing a soft, foldable cone collar, looking tired but calm. One eye is open and the other closed and the dog looks very out of it. A small black-and-white fluffy dog with a pink bandage on its front paw stands in a veterinary exam room, held on a leash. A person in brown pants and another person kneeling nearby are partially visible.

What’s that? We haven’t had a Tallie’s Butt automated album update in a while? Well we do now and it’s a good one. I present to you… the front half of Tallie, dropped into the “Tallie’s Butt” smart label album by our AI overlords

So this will sound silly, but Tallie *never* causes trouble at home. She is an angel. Tonight, we got home from nosework training, and she found this piece of paper that had been used as padding in a package and decided to.... steal and shred it?! I was laughing too much to yell at her.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

We're officially at the point in November where my raincoats (please note plural here!) aren't drying out before the next dog walk and I have to decide which is least damp and annoying to put on. ☔
Have a damp Tallie-as-a-puppy-her-first-Seattle-November while we get drenched again:

Jury finds D.C. ‘sandwich guy’ not guilty of assaulting officer
Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a “harmless gesture” of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”

Curbside grocery pickup, shetland sheepdog edition
A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog walks along a sidewalk lined with green grass and fallen autumn leaves. The dog wears a pink harness and is attached to a green leash that stretches toward the camera. Parked cars and trees with yellow and orange foliage line the quiet residential street in the background. A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog with a fluffy coat stands on a wooden bench outside a Whole Foods Market. Behind the dog, a green sign with white lettering points toward the store’s parking area, and ornamental grasses sway beside the walkway. The autumn trees and overcast sky create a calm, cool atmosphere in the urban plaza.

Apple Store Genius Bar trip for fuzzbutt this morning- she had the bestest time saying hi to people while we had a Macbook reset.
A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands calmly under a wooden table at an Apple Store Genius Bar. The dog’s leash stretches across the floor, and a red backpack rests on the tabletop above, near a laptop and chairs with metal bases. The dog looks up with a gentle expression, surrounded by soft indoor lighting.

I know we're in the last days of all the dahlias in our neighborhood, but they were so lovely on our afternoon walk! And a bonus "paws up" on a staircase as another doggo walked by us on the sidewalk.*

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”
