A slightly wet Polish Lowland #Sheepdog, Bruno, of the #IdąPsięta pack, in our slightly wet #wetlands. There should be much more water here now, but we're losing it quickly as old ditches are cleared to make meadows in the background easier to mow. Farmers don't really need all that hay, but they get paid for this, and if they don't mow them they will get no money.

#IdąPsięta, our dogs, want to turn left. The road straight ahead is much longer and they know it.

That one tree with dried leaves is probably not well as apoptosis didn't kick in on time. We''ll see how it survives the winter.

#IdąPsięta, our #dogs, enjoying the first day of snow on the road to our place. If it snows more our car will not be able to get through antil then #snowplow comes – which might take a few days.

Bruno wanted to get a drink, but Masza just had to press the "make ripples" button. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #EasternPoland

There are no really old #trees here on the edge of one of the youngest national parks in #EasternPoland, #Polesia #NationalPark, so this will have to do for #ThickTrunkTuesday. That brown blur is not a #beaver (most of the large trees near this one have been felled by #beavers) but Vuko, a #dog from our #IdąPsięta pack of (mostly) rescue mutts. The branches on the ground in the back are what is left of a small beaver dam destroyed by humans. The beavers are constantly rebuilding it.

"I didn't do it! She did!". No way. Now trying to explain to him she's not like the wind. #IdąPsięta pack od #dogs, #forests of #EasternPoland. #DogsOfMastodon

Finally the ditches are frozen and the #dogs of the #IdąPsięta pack can roam a wider area of our #wetlands. #DogsOfMastodon

First #snow – very little of it, but still fun for Masza, the senior bitch of the #IdąPsięta pack. #DogsOfMastodon

This #wetlands #meadow should be completely under water at this time of the year. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, can find spots where they can get a drink, but none where they can swim. #DogsOfMastodon

Cold. Gloomy. An #autumn walk with #IdąPsięta, our pack of #dogs living in #Polesia in #EasternPoland. #DogsOfMastodon

Four dogs on a log. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Forest #Trees

Two #dogs of the #IdąPsięta pack watching slow destruction of their #wetlands. Ditches were recently cleared and #water is flowing out more quickly than usually. Water reserves for the coming hot season will be much smaller. #ClimateChange #HabitatLoss

I have to find a different place to sleep. #IdąPsięta

New life growing on remnants of old. #IdąPsięta #Dog #Wetlands

The art of camouflage is very important when you live close to the EU's eastern border. Masza, of the #IdąPsięta pack, is so good at it that we sometimes call her Mashkirovka.

Seroius question. Should I add content warning when posting pictures of dogs we're taking care of, the #IdąPsięta pack?

There might be a lot of dogs in my feed – #IdąPsięta
