Much learning in progress with Eva Bertilsson. Peanut and Malin Kihl are leaning along with me.

It’s on! Just started my reading for the book club that’s starting in April, led by the great @kikiyablon.bsky.social . Very excited to dive into this!
A book, ”About Behaviorism”, by B.F. Skinner, lays on top of an opened notebook, with some written lines visible. Among them you can see the title of the book, and ”behavior works book club”, ”meeting 1 discussion questions”, ”introduction”.

A sure sign of spring is Jinkx sleeping outside. Warms my heart when she is so content and feels so secure, having patrolled our yard to her heart’s desires. 🥰
Photo is taken through a window, with plants in the foreground. A tan dog is laying on a wood patio, resting flat on her side. You can see a bit of a yellow house, and green fields in the background.

Hotel breakfast yesterday. They had vegan cheese, much appreciated. But then you zoom in on ingredients, and become… concerned. (For those who can’t read Swedish, the label says in big letters: “vegan cheese”. In smaller print below, it says “contains: vegan”.)
A picture of vegan cheese slices on a plastic wrapped plate, with a label placed beside it that says “vegansk ost” (meaning ”vegan cheese) Zoomed in picture on label. Circled in red it says: “innehåller: vegan” (”contains: vegan”)

Love being able to check in on the kids when I’m away from home. Jinkx always looks heartbroken that I’m leaving (puppy eyes that will kill you by the front door), but seconds after I close the door she settles in and goes to sleep. (And that’s Lilly on the couch!)
Still images from two pet cams. One shows a tan dog laying on a pet bed, curled up, with eyes closed. One shows a living room, with a bookcase in the background, as well as a couch and sofa table. On the couch is a small black dog, laying down, wearing a turquoise sweater.

Lokal fråga: Eslöv, Skåne - vem har en rekommendation för bra elektriker i trakten?

Lillybild i pyjamas som tack för uppmärksamheten!
A small black dog, with fluffy ears and tail, lies curled up on a rust colored blanket, wearing a pink “leopard print” fleece overall.

Jinkx suddenly started showing fearful behavior towards previously neutral sounds, like the pssscht of a bottle of soda being opened. Weeks later, she started showing signs of a UTI. 2-3 days into a course of antibiotics that fearful behavior was completely gone.
A picture of a tan dog laying on a mat in a vet examination room. Text says: “Physical health affects behavior. What’s going on inside the body, though invisible to us, can have a big effect in behavior. Always consider health.”

REFLECTION ON VET VISITS - a thread

Jinkx went to the vet last week, after we noticed her peeing a LOT more than usual on our walks. After needing to be hospitalized for a night this past summer, she’s showed some anxious behaviors in large vet clinics. 🧵
Tan dog lies on a patterned mat, with a blanket draped over her back, she’s in an examination room in a vet clinic. Ears are perked but head is lowered.
