"What? WHAT." #Violet #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet is visited by a hummingbird. #DogsOfMastodon #birds

#Violet will allow you to boop her snoot, but first you have to shake her paw. Also the other one. #DogsOfMastodon

Still resting, but #Violet is keeping me company. #DogsOfMastodon

Nap time for #Violet. #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet gets credit for not even figuratively losing her shit when, during the student science presentations, construction work on the roof caused debris to fall from the ceiling.

Less credit for, as I was typing the previous sentence, sneaking out of the math department, walking down two flights of stairs, and knocking over a trash can.

This time #Violet didn't even bark at the deer. #DogsOfMastodon

Dramatically lit dog is dramatically lit. #Violet #DogsOfMastodon

Wait for it.

Alt text: the camera slowly approaches a duck on a cobblestone path. A dog appears and the duck flies off.

#Violet got to see some deer on campus today. After initial curiosity, she decided they were abominations in the eyes of dog and had to be barked at until they bounded away.

#Violet was THIS CLOSE to glory! #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet tried to stay awake until the rest of the family got to the beach, but... #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet will let me know if any invaders enter the office. #DogsOfMastodon #ears

#Violet rests before the day's chaos begins. #DogsOfMastodon

As our kitchen renovation has finally begun, #Violet and I are spending our days on campus.

Within the first hour, she has:

- Found an egg muffin sandwich in the garbage.

- Approached a student she doesn't know with a tail wag and agree to be petted. Who is she and what has she done with my dog?

#Violet: Or, hear me out, we could all just stay in bed. #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet made a frustrated noise so I looked out the front window to investigate.

"Ah-h-h-h," as Frank Herbert would say, '-h-h-h-h-h."

#Violet is happy for spring. #DogsOfMastodon

When you're a dog, every day is a lazy Sunday. #Violet #DogsOfMastodon

Look, the bed"s plenty big enough. #Violet just chooses to sleep this way. #DogsOfMastodon
