I’m really enjoying following some of the twitter accounts focused on dogs. I follow the ones curated by @DogFather (@Dog_Rates and @Dog_Feelings). Do you know of some more good ones for me to follow?
I’ve been helping out a friend by doing some job coaching for a few young people as they learn what it means to be employed. The two individuals in the coaching program for this session are really good workers, and as a result, I spend most of my time sitting at the restaurant counter, just being available if they need something.
Here’s the conversation I had with one of our regular customers today:
Kid sitting next to me at the Kremeland counter: I have two dogs.
Me: What kind?
Kid: One’s a black lab and the other is bipolar.
It was all I could do not to fall off of my stool!

If you’re being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then onto a little seesaw, then weave through a bunch of poles. They’re trained for that.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
