I keep trying to get a good photo of Herbert carrying his cheese stick like a cigar, but he won't stay still long enough, so a blurry one will have to do
Herbie, a mostly blue cattle dog, stands inside his cage (really more of a mech suit tbh) holding a yak cheese stick in his mouth like a cigar. He's with me at work but he has to stay in containment or he'll eat the boxes.

Got my favorite spot on the ferry

A view from the front of the Whidbey Island to Mukilteo ferry- right at the front of the boat, looking across at the city lights, with small waves in the foreground

Everything is terrible and the world is on fire, but today this Very Good Boy and his bff, also a Very Good Boy, spent the day romping in the sun. So that's something.
Sam (left) a black and white, long haired border collie, and Herbie (right) a blue cattle dog with a black eye patch and tan legs & chest, take a break on my parents' porch. They have been playing in the sun all day, wrestling in the grass and generally living it up. They are the best dogs.

Cattle dogs being tuckered out be their own shenanigans is just adorable
Herbie, a sleepy cattle dog pup - blue with red legs and red chest & cheeks - caught in the act of rolling over onto his back in his sleep. His front paws are tucked up and his back legs are splayed out

Meant to post these earlier for #onlybeautifulthings

I'm in! It's a frosty morning here in the PNW, but the sunrise is gorgeous. #onlybeautifulthings
Looking out across the pasture on a frosty winter morning. A white barn with green trim on the left, big cedar trees to the right, frost covered grass and fences in the middle. Tall trees are silhouetted against a rosy dawn sky in the background

I plan on posting pictures of this guy every 15-20 minutes. Just all Herbie all day. Might throw in some book recommendations as pallette cleansers.
Herbie, a blue and red cattle dog puppy with black ears and a black patch over his left eye. He sits by the side of an old rail trail with trees on both sides. He is my big silly boi.

I'm working up the determination to make next year a good as it can be, despite the looming threats.

Too long. Most months flew by while feeling like they were going in slow motion. It was a real annus horribilis, in several ways. Not nearly enough good times to offset the bad.

Holy fack, that sounds grim.

Took this chunk of firewood to the vet today to refill his flea medication & they needed a current weight. Just under 9 months & he's 56.6 lbs.

My family now has a pool going on what his final weight will be. My money is on 62. He's a monster, but such a love.

Neither, just bored-scrolling on a Saturday night, watching the drama like it's a sports match, while my dog sleeps like his spine is made of bike inner tubes.
Herbie, an 8 month old cattle puppy (he's mostly blue with some red on his legs & black ears) sleeps half on and half off his round dog bed. The floor is littered with chewed up cardboard, because Herbie likes to party. There's a 6 foot spiderweb on the wall in the background, and a Christmas gift bag filled with salvaged Christmas wrapping in the foreground. Oh, and the floor is grey- blue tile.

Only a tired puppy could sleep like this.

Happy solstice!
Herbie, a blue cattle dog puppy, sleeps half on & half off his big round dog bed. Oh, to be young and have such a flexible spine.

Herbert!
Herbie, a 7 month old cattle dog. Occasionally, he likes to get up close and personal. Here he's on my lap while I'm trying to read in bed. Herbie is mostly blue with orange eyebrows and a black pirate patch over his left eye.

Lately, this meatball has been waking me at 3am & 5am to let him out, so...might as well spend some quality time on the internet I suppose.
Herbie, a 7 month old blue heeler. Here, he is laying on the lawn on a sunny day. Not pictured - him barking in my face at 3am because he wants me to scritch his ears.

Show me your pet and what they're named for.
Herbie, a young blue heeler, enjoying a ride in a red kayak. He's wearing a yellow life jacket, because cattle dogs are not good swimmers and he hasn't learned not to fall out of the boat yet Herbie the Love Bug. From the late 60s/early 70s movies. He's a white Volkswagen Beetle done up with red & blue racing stripes and the number 53

Herbie is enjoying his second ever camping trip. Can't tell if he prefers the lake or the desert though. We might need more data! 😁

Good afternoon from the desert, where it's hot, but not too hot for a quick hike
