Peter Drake HAS MOVED @peterdrake@qoto.org

There's a planned maintenance power outage in my neighborhood today. I'm staying home to keep #Violet company (she will freak out) and I've stocked up on papers to read and practice fireknives to manufacture.

#Violet: "On the other hand, what if I was *only* allowed on the furniture?"

#Violet has at least a few more days of crate rest to make sure she doesn't re-injure her neck, but she's feeling fine. In fact, she's getting a bit stir-crazy. "But DAD, why can't I hunt squirrels in the back yard and, when they run up the fence, hurl myself into the air like a salmon?"

#Violet is feeling much better and even did some yoga this morning. #DogsOfMastodon #EsperantoEelhound

After pinching something in her neck, #Violet is engaging in some self care (crate rest). #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet, a dog covered in fur (some of it black), wants to hang out on the 100℉ back porch in the hope that a free-range deep-fried squirrel will drop into her mouth.

Tonight's fireworks haven't started yet. #Violet #DogsOfMastodon

The fireworks have begun and #Violet is not happy.

#Violet demonstrates optimal sleeping positions. #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet keeps striking adorable poses and them moving as soon as someone gets out a phone. I think she just resents the pupparazzi.
