    May I pleez mansplain the post you just wrote, Max?
    Inside me are two wolves making two sets of footprints.
    When it looks like there is only one set of footprints, it's actually because Sam, the sheepdog, is carrying, Ralph, the wolf, to a movie matinee at which Warner Bros cartoons will be shown before the feature presentation.
    PS: I happen to be a very big fan of yours, Max. So any time there's additional mansplaining to be done, pleez don't hesitate to call on me. I'm here for you.

  11. There is literally no #requirement at all for #LawEnforcementOfficers to know the #law they're supposed to #enforce (and abide by, theoretically), and, in fact, this #knowledge often hinders them from their most important work of #punishing everyone who would dare #offend the #Sheepdogs who watch over #sheep, I guess. Like us.

    If you get #murdered, though, there's like a 60% chance they'll find out who did it. Or say they did.

  14. This is Lulu, a competitor in a recent yard dog trial. I really love this shot showing her running across the sheep. These dogs have such personality and it really comes out when they're working.

    Lulu was excited, alert and energetic, while remaining calm and under control. I think this can really be seen in the attitude of the sheep who are completely nonplussed by her running along their backs.

  19. After a busy couple of months at work, I have finally managed to squeeze in some dog photography.

    Last weekend I swung past some yard dog trials being run at the local agricultural show. I'd never been to a yard trial before and I wasn't prepared for how different it would be to photograph (compared to the sheepdog trials I'm used to).

    The smaller field allowed me to get much closer to the action, but the dogs were faster, and right in among the sheep, making it difficult to keep them in frame.

    Nevertheless, out of over 4,000 photos from the day, I managed to get a few that I'm pretty happy with. Now I just need to find the time to edit them and get them uploaded...

  24. This fella's name is Boof, which certainly appeared to be an aptonym. I think this is probably one of my favourite dog names as it conveys a strong sense of personality which, in this case, the bearer was more than happy to lean into.

    I got quite a few photos of this pup and not one of them was bad. Always showing off those bright eyes, pricked ears and flashing a smile, he hadn't allowed his tripedal configuration to slow him down; on the contrary, the 25% weight saving seems to have boosted his vigour. Which is lucky, because if there is one thing a Kelpie needs, it's more energy...

  29. At a recent dog trial I promised a number of people that I would share my photos with them. While I'm normally extremely slow at editing my pics, I made a real effort this time to send them through as quickly as possible. And I've done it! I avoided procrastination and got photos out to everyone on my list! A rare achievement.

    Oh wait, what about these lists from all the other shows I've been to? Maybe I should do something about that...

    Nah! I'll edit some photos for Mastodon instead! Damn procrastination always wins in the end.

    Here is the product of my procrastination. I can't remember this fella's name, but I met him at the 2023 Australian National Sheep Dog Trial Championship. I took quite a few shots across the day and every time he looked this happy.

    His fur is a great colour to begin with, but the low sun gives it that extra shine.

  34. On a final curious note, we've long wondered how much of this is genetic. They are first cousins once removed. They were raised in environments almost as opposite as it's possible to be, so not likely to be nurture. But, we have a ton of other relatives, all with zero #thunderphobic tendencies. Who's to say?

    Either way, the rumbles have left since I've been rambling to the world about #sheepdogs. Time for sleep, and thanks for listening.

  38. Apparently picking and writing a thread of all our #sheepdogs for #DogsOfMastodon is an all afternoon affair! This was a much more enjoyable way to spend time on the couch recovering from a nasty cold than playing too much sudoku. The pups have been taking turns checking in on me and keeping me company. I haven't been sick in four years, so they worry. 😆
