The fact that Eleanor has such dark fur, plus the fact that she never sits still when I'm looking at her, means that she's always blurry in photos.
Romeo just discovered he likes peas, but I wouldn't let him have this one.

Neighbor girls hoping The Treat Lady will come through for them.
Edit: their optimism was, in fact, justified.
Our senior disabled pup is getting used to his new wheelchair. We have to help a bit to pull him along and might have to keep doing this, but that's ok. It's so good to see him out taking a walk again!

Reviewing the WWDC23 keynote, I can see that iOS17/iPadOS17 (and macOS Sonoma) finally adds the feature I’ve always simulated, but now I have: recognizing our furry friends! Looking very much forward to it!

ANTHONY* - ID#A798582
"Anthony is a handsome, sweet boy who is a graduate of PACC’s decompression program for shy and fearful dogs. He needed a bit of extra help to feel brave when he first arrived at the shelter, and a dedicated group of volunteers worked to make him feel safe. These days, Anthony makes new friends easily and is an affectionate lovebug who likes to give kisses once he knows you."
ITCHIGO SHIHAI - ID#A765043
"Was housebroken in his prior home... His former person described him as a sweet, people- loving dog who is energetic and fun. Itchigo wasn’t happy to be back at PACC after a bit of time away, but has come around quickly and is loving, affectionate, and really likes to snuggle with his volunteer friends."
"Once he’s comfortable, he’s one of the most loving dogs you’ll ever meet!!"
ROCKY MARIE* - ID#A796972
"Rocky is a pretty chocolate colored lady looking for special home!"
“She’s a happy girl who would make a good adventure buddy for someone active!”
"Rocky came to PACC with her pal Simba and they share a kennel. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home and needs just a bit of time to warm up to new people. Give her that and she’ll be your loyal pal for life!!"

📷 Jack's being sly here. Walking along the edge of the house on his way back in from the yard. Tougher for me, sitting on the porch, to get a good shot of him.
Jack was shocked when I twisted in my chair and lifted my phone to snap this.
Look at his expression! 😂
I've had a “Lap Dog" on my lap for the last 20 minutes, and both she and I are enjoying snuggles while I work.
The fun thing? She's not a “Lap Dog"
She's a nearly fully-grown Border Collie...
The only challenge? My lap isn't *really* large enough, and she keeps slipping down!
It appears that in my absence Maggie the Poodle has moved most of my shoes outside.
(This pic was sent to me by my husband this morning.)

Princeton is settling in well. Still lots to learn on both sides (He apparently likes to have a snack before bed and when denied that, hollers like a deranged howler monkey.) but he's found all the beds and gets around the house well.
He's slowly getting more comfortable with the doggy door so I'm hoping my trips outside for potties are waning.

Much more importantly, in #Niko and #Gracie news, we see evidence of very different morning treato strategies here.
Some doggos like to hang on to the treato for cronching at a later time, while others cronch all treatos immediately in the knowledge that there is a nearly infinite supply of treatos.
Both strategies are perfectly acceptable, and based on sound premises.
Saw this excellent bumper sticker today, and made a new doggo friend at the gate right next to the car. Such a sweetie, let out small, breathy whines as I petted him. And just look at those enormous paws.
Good morning, friends. 🐿️🐿️☕
The dogs were at the bedroom door just after five this morning. I thought maybe it was storming, so I got up. It wasn't storming, so I let the dogs out (in case you were wondering who). The reason they were agitated was some animal was in the backyard. It was probably a large squirrel or maybe a racoon. My bird bath was overturn and a hanging bird feeder was on the ground with the cable broken from one side. I think can repair it. The large brick of seeds that was inside ... gone. I might need to start putting the feeders away at night.

Dog mauling season seems well underway this year - 4 killed so far, more than last year's total deaths. To compare, at the height of tabloid "devil dogs" madness in 1991 (which led to the Dangerous Dogs Act), there were 4 deaths that year.

This is Dobby. He's a scared street dog. He doesn't like people, or noises, or his shadow, or really anything - but when he's out in the wilderness - he's the happiest dog on the planet.
And as we get ready for snoozles, please enjoy these sweet smiles

My dog found a lizard under a stall mat once and now she checks under everything, just in case
The only thing I still looked at on twitter was the animal shelter postings, but none of the accounts have posted anything in a couple of weeks so maybe they've had enough.
At first I had a bot account repost here, then that quit working so I started copying them here, now they've stopped posting so I just go to the #PACC web page and make my own posts.
SANDY OLSSON* - ID#A797396
"Sandy is a young pup who does not belong in the shelter! She’s a smart, active, and playful girl who finds the shelter environment very stressful. Sandy has Distemper and needs to go to a home and not stay in the shelter. She can live with any fully vaccinated adult dogs."
"Look at that perfect sit. This sweet girl loves her walks"

Blurry iPhone Photo of the Day: New Dog securing the perimeter against a dastardly deer incursion. This solo doe has been hanging around the house for the past few days taunting the dogs. She’s pretty thick around the middle, but not preggo-thick, so I think she might’ve recently given birth. She never runs too far or too fast when the dogs bark at her; probably has the fawn stashed in the woods nearby.
Late last ride of the day to dreamland with my boys.
Goodnight all.

It's funny how we let dogs into our homes/lives. They've got big teeth; big heavy paws with claws. They used to be dangerous.
But I'm doting on this guy, calling him Schmoopie face and Bubba and Fartacus. Diligently feeding him treats by hand, checking his ears, teeth and poops. Wiping his ouchie spots. Leaning over him as he sleeps, watching his chest rise and fall, listening to him snore. The only person I do this for is my 79 yo father. After heart surgery.
We probably have a lot of conditions for the people we let into our lives.
But dogs...we open our hearts wide. We scoop them up and never look back. We take their love and run.

I guess it is time to update the #introduction.
Hi, I am Imdat Celeste. Nice to meet you all.
I am a veteran software engineer who works as a freelancer from their home.
I *love* modernizing ancient software by carefully, slowly rewriting while it is still operating - without disruptions.
Currently I have two wonderful, awesome, really amazing clients between whom I split my time roughly about 50:50.
For the first one, I am the "Primus inter pares" in a team rewriting a 20-yo C++ & JS-based system in modern nodeJS + Typescript. My main job there is not to write code (it seems), but review PRs, review code, give coding guidelines, merge PRs, and make sure everything my team needs is there: test servers, development server, on-premise Gitlab, on-premise Mattermost, a good/respectful/lovely atmosphere, a lot of fun, and what else we need to deliver an awesome product. The team is amazing, the atmosphere is full of respect and love; I will stay with this team as long as I can.
For the second client, I am rewriting a 15+ year old system (Java, Java/Swift/Vue1.x-FE; rpc-like crap-API) using go(BE), gRPC (API) and dart/flutter (FE).
Here I am the core developer for the new client and the new back-end. The back-end is, for now, a proxy/a wrapper around the existing one. Behind that wrapper, two wonderful co-workers are modernizing & optimizing the Java-BE. This team here is equally as lovely as one can ever hope for; and yes, I will stay with this team as long as I can as well.
Oh, and BTW: people in both teams are nearly 100% remote.
I am married to a wonderful, an absolutely amazing person who is so full of love that she sometimes struggles with the universe (or with humanity). And I am a proud father (yes, "father"*) of a woman with a brilliant Beautiful Mind and a heart as big as the universe (who also happens to have Mastery of Words™️).
I love learning new things from complete strangers. The stranger the new knowledge the more fascinating it is for me.
I have a #FragMyBrain (autistic, ocd, nd) so be ready for detailed explanations, where each word is carefully chosen & positioned in the sentence, but still some missing - when you ask me something.
I quickly fall in love with brilliant people with language mastery skills - Mastery of Words™️.
You can always shitpost with me & talk garbage - as long as it is done intelligently, with wit & humor, and respect.
The fastest way to land on my block list is not to make a mistake, but to repeatedly make the same stupid mistake again and again and insist on it being right or being racists, queer-/transphobic, ableist, disrespectful, white supremecist, etc., etc. - you know what I mean. There is always enough space in the "Dungeon of Blocked Accounts".
I will post about anything that my #ActuallyAutistic brain will come up with: politics (CW'ed), #Trans topics, #Musings, #Computers, #Flutter, #Languages, #GoodMorningAgatha, #Cats, #CatsOfMastodon, #Dogs, #Animals in general, #Beauty, #Love, #TransJoy, #TransPride, ... you see: there is no limit!
I will add CW and mark as sensitive whenever I think so. If I forget once, please inform me and I'll correct it as fast as I can. I don't discuss whether something needs CW/sensitive marker or not, I just accept it.
I wear my feelings on my skin, i.e. what you read and see is who I really am, there is no IRL Imdat Celeste and a different, Fediverse Imdat Celeste: you will see a lot of 🫂,💜,😍,🥰,🥹,😳... and more. If you feel it is intruding, please let me know.
I come over differently, but I am also insecure: so, I will add a lot of emojis - just to be sure.
Also, please don't expect a "normal person" here: I am completely, utterly, hopelessly an un-normal person.
Lastly, my posts may start with one specific topic but during the text itself it may just become something completely different - "Train of Thought".
Again, nice to meet you - I am always looking for more new friends...

*: I am a trans non-binary person. When I came out to her, my daughter asked me how she should call me from then on and since it is an honor to be her father, that, yeah, I am and will always be that.
Time for the last ride of the day to dreamland with my boys.
Goodnight all.

Evening walks with my 14 year old cutie (she wears shoes because the streets are full of glass shards, needles and crap, in case you’re coming here to say SHOES)
I've been seeing a French Bulldog quite often on my morning walk. They are such feisty little characters! So this image is my tribute to that breed. (This is artwork in my continuing series of images with a stained glass effect...not real stained glass!)

Even if you are not a cat person. If you prefer dogs. Fine! These are people who love animals and do all they can for them.
