[softly, and with a lot of feeling] holy shit

#it went from 'pretty cool! :)' to TRANSCENDENTAL so FAST--#we'd been out there a couple hours taking pics because it was hard to see much of anything besides 'well there's SOMETHING' with naked eye #and we had literally just folded up our lil picnic blanket and picked up our stuff to go back to the car when it was like.#hey is it just me or is that really bright suddenly. HEY IS IT JUST ME OR IS THAT SUPER BRIGHT AND VISIBLE SUDDENLY??#I wish it had been possible to get an accurate naked-eye-view photo-- I don't want to forget how it was to be there #it was incredible 😭#wish my tripod hadn't broken when we got there but I think I did okay with what I had to work with #about me #photography #husband

I love seeing Rory run in the field!! Bird dog doing bird dog things!! You said in the tags you had different training and priorities with her vs Mav re: offleash running like that. What kinds of things did you do differently with Rory to be comfortable having her offleash at a distance with reliable recall?

I was writing a whole novel but really it boils down to this chart. Under the cut because it's (vertically) long.

In short, it's just as much about what I didn't do with Maverick as what I did do with Aurora.

(Edited to add: I am extremely fortunate to live in the prairies where the kind of visibility I need is easy to find. Use my experience to inspire your own training if you like, but don't use it as a recipe. I have my own goals and my own priorities and those are likely different than yours.)

Maverick:

🔵 Supremely confident from day 1

🔵 Came home in August (extremely good and exciting time for outdoor adventures)

🔵 Prioritized specific sports behaviours over foundational building blocks like engagement and cooperation

🔵 Learned bad habits from my older dog at the time (prey drive > recall)

🔵 Was indiscriminately prey driven. If it moved, he wanted to kill it.

🔵 I phased out treats too fast and didn't want to use an ecollar or long line

🔵 I focused on "social media dog behaviours" (think like walking extremely close to me on trails) and got frustrated when we couldn't meet these rather than meeting my dog where he was at. This created a lot of frustration in our dog adventures.

🔵 I practiced recalls constantly when I didn't have to, making them a tedious behaviour for him. I would recall him 20-50 times a hike for everything from "you're too far away from me" to "I want to take a photo".

Aurora

🟣 Came to me a little insecure and looked to me for reassurance

🟣 Came home in December (a cold and relatively boring time for outdoor adventures)

🟣 I prioritized engagement, cooperation, and name recognition from day 1

🟣 Practiced good habits by walking offleash in the snow either alone or with Pike (amazing recall)

🟣 Is extremely birdy, but is very very focused. She easily calls off deer or people/dogs in the distance because she mostly cares about birds.

🟣 Literally always gets offered a high value snack for recalling or voluntary check ins (I will never phase this out, I will carry chunks of cheese on offleash walks for the rest of her life)

🟣 I never practice recalls if I don't need them. This one is hard to explain, but once Rory understood that long whistle = come back as fast as you can, I don't whistle unless I really need to. I recall her an average of 0-3 times per hike (*based on visibility or wildlife*) and trust her to make good decisions otherwise. I keep my eyeballs on her 100% of the time and choose areas with good visibility, but I don't recall her just for being far away.

🟣 I limit hikes where I have to nag her often (think, in the woods where I dont have a great line of sight and have to remind her to stay close to me) to a few times a month or less so she doesn't start getting frustrated about it.

🟣 I trust the training I put into her and choose to run her in areas with (relatively) reduced risk if she makes the "wrong" choice. I don't nitpick everything she does and I let her make her own choices, within reason.

🟣 I have an interrupter cue to ask her to stop doing something before I call her back (if she's digging a hole and I want her to move on, I use "Rory, enough! Here!") instead of whistling at her.

🟣 I don't force her attention on check ins. If she runs back to me and doesn't want a snack and wants to run straight back out, I let her run back out.

🟣 I have anticipatory cues for the end of a walk so I don't have to recall her when we get to the end of the field.

I want to say that it's nerve wracking to watch my dog sprint at full speed hundreds of yards away from me. I have to fight the impulse to recall her just because she's far away. It's an exercise in trust because I'm always worried about her going over the horizon, or running into a wildlife, or falling into a hole, but it's an important thing to work on if you have a dog that needs that trust to thrive.

Mav and I were a good team, but I never fully trusted him outdoors. I always had my finger on the ecollar buttons ready for him to do an evil and need to be vibrated. It was exhilarating to watch him in the field, but it wasn't really fun or relaxing.

Rory and I built a much stronger foundation of trust (I personally never would have been able to do this if I had more than one dog). She doesn't know any tricks yet, but I'm super confident in her recall and ability to take direction in the field, even when she's sprinting as fast as possible.

#dogblr #about mav #about aurora #hahahaha i still wrote a novel #i have a lot of thoughts about recall #i never want to see a four month old puppy with an ecollar and yet i see it all the time in the gundog circles #and i get it i just find it super distasteful #i was team 'never get a dog in winter' !#and i am now team '100% get a dog in winter'#it was sooooo much easier to build good habits when nothing was moving in the winter freeze #my biggest issue with rorys recall is that she struggles to recall off pike #but even that improves each time we go out and thats more an arousal issue than a recall issue #she's a really cool dog #i still choose my offleash locations and time super carefully #i would never go out at noon on a sunday and run her offleash #i go out to quiet areas at quiet times #and i just let her do her thing #trust is a two way street even with dogs #ask #anon #bird dog training #recall training #recall #<- tags so i can find this later #eta: i want to add that i do use her name to get her attention if i need something or want a photo #and i have a specific cue for 'look at me from a distance and decide if you want to come closer'#but im largely quiet in the field when shes running especially if were walking by ourselves #i just let her do her thing #thats why we're out there after all

So I have the background on my laptop set to just rotate through whatever photos Microsoft has lined up, and this one is the latest, and I just...

I mean look at this.

This is apparently the NGC 3324 star cluster, courtesy of the James Webb telescope, which I firmly believe is one of the greatest things we as a species have ever produced because my God, the photos that thing is taking are incredible. This looks almost too beautiful to be real.

#space is so fucking cool #listen y'all it's friday night and i am SEVERELY sleep-deprived so i can't words well enough to do this justice so just #imagine me waxing poetic with a super impressive and lyrical vocab while smushing this photo against your faces

Do you headcanon that everyone we saw during the dinner scene in the Mario Movie 2023 lives at that apartment, or that the uncles and aunt and cousin were just visiting that night? My impression was that they live there and I prefer that headcanon, but I've seen some people interpret it the other way- plus, if I recall, we only really see pictures of Mario and Luigi on the walls. Kind of odd to have no pictures of the little cousin if she lives there

I'm pretty sure everyone lives in that apartment. The whole family is gathered at the breakfast table later on in the movie, and since there was no established major holiday or event happening we can only conclude they all live under the same roof.

Also... as easy as it is to miss... there is a picture of Arthur's side of the family (including the little cousin) hanging up on the wall, it was just obscured for most of the scenes.

There's also a lot of pictures on the countertop behind the table, so there's no telling how many other photos we missed.

#askbox #anon #Mario and Luigi were the babies of the family during a time when printed photos were the main format rather than digital #so it makes sense that there's more pictures of them to available hang #there's also a chance the young cousin is entering a stage in her life #where she wants to be cool and doesn't want baby pictures of her hanging out in plain sight #but that's just my thoughts on the matter #mario movie #mario headcanons #super mario bros

cool individual . points at you

I showed my best friend your ask and I thought her response was funny so I drew it lol

She doesn’t seem to think it’s a great idea to tell me I’m cool. (She also said that you’re wrong because I’m a giant nerd)

#When I broke my nose we took a selfie first and then after that went to the hospital (priorities)#It’s a really funny photo we are both laughing so hard in it but I am also covered in blood lmao #It was 2am at the time so it’s super dark in the photo too #I’m super lucky I’m Canadian because I end up in the hospital more then I should but who cares bc it’s free #I’m just an idiot #And a bit of an adrenaline junkie #Thanks for telling me I’m cool btw!

A while ago I saw some posts mentioning some possible animals for Hobie to use as his fursona, and I wanted to join the fun and make my own suggestions! Cause I have two animals I feel would fit him very well:

Number 1. Maned Wolf:

Look at those long ass legs and tell me they don't give off Hobie vibes lol

(but fr they also look super majestic and I love how beautiful their colours are too! <3)

They even have a small mane too! Which also leads me to the other animal I'd like to suggest:

Number 2. Striped Hyena:

This might be one of the most punk looking animals out there! (and just like punks, hyenas have also gotten a lot of (unjust) bad rep in the media through time)

I mean come on, they even have a mohawk!

#see what I mean?!! <3 #do you get my vision??#I just remembered these animals exist and I immediately thought of Hobie lol #both species look super cool and unique! I feel like they'd both be a good fit for him <3 #oh and apparently the maned wolf isn't even a wolf lol. so there's a theme about labels there as well #also look at this lanky dude in the first pics lol #I love him so much #I know I'm kinda late to the party but I'd kinda forgotten about it again until I noticed I had a tab about maned wolfs open lol #also you can click on the photos to get a better look at them if you want <3 #hobie brown #spider punk #fursona #across the spider verse #atsv #spiderman atsv #across the spiderverse #my post #maned wolf #striped hyena

Little "bouquet" of random flowers I found growing wild in a yard

#flowers #photo diary #I think people are way too mean about ''''weeds'''' and not appreciative of them. Like.. dandelions are super nice looking #and bright and pretty.. forget me nots are so cute and a nice color.. etc. all of these random things that just spring up in the yard #are so neat. and it's evil that people tear them up and mow them down all the time #I guess maybe I get dandelions because they can kind of take over a space?? MAYBE?? but even then #if I was going to have a yard that is just a giant empty plot of blank grass. I would ratherit have a scattering of dandelions than #just like....... nothingness.#Also super cool that this person I know has columbines growing wildly in the yard. They hate them and pull them up #since they've kind of ''taken over'' a patch of grass near a bench they use #but they're soooo cool... Though they only have the single color ones just purple. My favorite columbines are the ones that are two colors #and almost look like two flowers in one or something.#There's a hill near a road around here where poppies seem to be growing wild.. ough... I wish I could go and take some or something #I've tried to transplant forget me nots everytime I'm in some realitive or friend's yard who has them and I ask to dig a few up but #I think theyre just not the type of flower that really grows long term on a deck lol.. but I wish they were... I just really like the blue #color. THOUGH this year in someone else's yard I found a very cool flower just randomly growing wildly that I had never seen #before. It's called Bethlehem Lungwort and it has spotted leaves and multi colored flowers and it looked like a flower out of a cartoon #at first. Since it was randomly growing wild in a yard the person let me dig one of them upand its' still aliveon my deck actualy #It's not blooming flowers anymore but the leaves are still prospering fine. Though it seems to really dislike the super hot sun #and will wilt in this heat wave if I'm not watering it at least once every other day lol.. anyway

sorry if you've already mentioned but what (re?)ignited your love of comics/x-men/cherik? curious because there are so many different adaptations of them

i think im gonna speak for a few (or a lot of) people when i say that TL;DR the wolverine x deadpool movie that came out this summer is what pulled me back into comics and i COULD leave it there but i will go into excruciating and unnecessary detail instead because i love an origin story and i love oversharing.

under the cut tho because im nice sometimes (there's also wxdp doodles in here. if you want to see that)

ironically (and probably commonly), growing up i was more of an avengers kid. Kinda. Loosely <- binge watched the cartoons and movies and read copious amounts of comics and fics and i am hoarding fanart in my old dresser as we speak ok 'loosely' is a modest lie.

embarrassingly i remember getting into discus cause of captain america LMAO so yeah needless to say i was a Humble Fan- me joining my school's comic class/club didnt help either (shoutout to my teach from that she was the realest one out there for. A Multitude of reasons). she definitely is was inspires me to even draw still and make comics and i often think bout the tips i learned from her class tbh she was great

back to the movies t and comics tho, i got into em because my brother would offer to take me and that's how we'd hang out (i rarely saw movies in theaters and i even more rarely went anywhere as a teenager. still kinda like that today tbh ooops) and yk. it just snowballed after that.

my brother and i have always liked comics- he just more than me for a while (though he still very much loves comics and As We Know From My Posts we still talk about them whenever i see him To An Exhausting Degree)

durin then i was really into stony and i have a few surviving doodles i made but those are between me and god. and anyone who asks tbh LOL

'snap can you make this related to x-men again this is long' ok so fast forward to This Summer again I Still Don't Really See Movies but my brother offered to take me and this was the first time i'd actually seen an x-men movie in full

as a kid i only remember seeing the 'perfection' scene between erik and raven in first class while i was channel surfing. pretty sure i changed the channel after seeing mystique naked cause i was scared my parents would get mad at me if they caught me watching it LOL

BUT MOVING ON As A Kid i think it's also natural you'll sometimes watch 92 if it's on And I Did though evidently it didn't stick too hard (i do remember really liking beast and gambit though.... still do really): my knowledge of x-men was. INCREDIBLY sparse. like diabolically so so i didnt have too much expectations (aside from the fact i vaguely liked deadpool beforehand).

tbh i dont know why my bro never took me to see any of the x-men movies. it's not like he doesn't Also like x-men (90% sure nightcrawler's his favorite but my brother will be caught dead saying he has absolute favorites like that)- he owns a bitch load of deadpool comics/omnibus sets too (of which ive read over the years and reread this year) but Shrug moving on

Much Like Most Of The Internet i fell down the rabbit hole that way. i have some doodles i made a couple days after seeing WxDP that i now have an excuse to throw at all of you Look And Perceive

and so. As I Do. i got curious and told myself i'd binge watch all the x-men movies the week before i went back to school And Then I Did ft. My Brother Sometimes and then i said i'd binge watch all of '92 and And I Did That ft. My Brother Sometimes But Less So and now we're here. currently watching Evolution...

once i got to school i realized i lived near a comic shop and started getting into the comics that way (the first ones i got since going down this rabbit hole was Magneto Was Right!, The Resurrection of Magneto, and The Trial of Magneto. if you were curious !!!!! clearly i didnt care too much about context i just needed to see My Guy jelvejlkvj i have no regrets and Evidently ive read more since)

i'm pretty sure what dragged me into cherik specifically was the fact i saw a clip of The Famous ending to 92 where erik's aghast at the notion jean even has to question his love for charles. i think that was what officially had me refocus my lens on them: not a single poolverine thought after that LOL (all the cherik posting i saw on twitter definitely helped too but that was the nail in the coffin for any other interests i had: i was locked into cherik and x-men in general now)

that clip specifically, i was surprised at the fact they- frequently even- have the x-men franchise say erik loves charles and vice versa so bluntly. even if it's not meant to be romantic, i fear im just a fan of how casually the word's thrown around with them two and i got tender bout it all. Then Yk. i just live for the drama. the hilarity even. the sincerity .... they make me sick if i think of them too long so im gonna end it here

before i go tho ironically enough, the first x-men issue i owned was This one (story a this is that while stuck in some wacko dimension charles accidentally gets himself trapped in logan's mind while utilizing his astral projection. if you were curious). pretty sure i got it for free with another comic set i got years ago since our old comic shop loved to do that, but it's poetic aint it. maybe ill doodle something referencing it..

i should probably look into finishing this arc someday im Dummy curious to even know how it started and how it ends.....

#snap chats #usually this onea them posts i ramble bout in the tags but i have photos and this is Long long so .. i use the main body for once ...#sorry i gave a biography but i never talk to people and i also love typing. im one of those party can-of-worms i fear #i feel like i could talk about this forever because x-men itself has never been super prominent in my childhood #it was just kinda there in the background BUT comics themselves have always been with me. theyre a keystone to me i think #but yeah. x-men definitely sticks a lot harder than avengers does now OOPS this is not me taking shots i am just SAYING #i have a lot of old marvel doodles tbh .. i found an old deadpool one i remember drawing with my bro during a car ride #kinda funny how much my bro and i bond i dont think of it much but I Guess thats another reason why comics are special to me #we dont bond much- i dont bond with my fam in general tbh we're kinda. Isolated in a way LOL so its cool we're tight at least #if you wanna go deeper bout Comics And My Family my dad really liked comics growing up- more dc tho maybe #apparently he used to draw hulk a lot but if he did those drawings are loooong gone.. at least i know who to blame for me drawing #he loves superman tho. i remember id get embarrassed watching superhero cartoons and superman was on screen when he was around #for some reason i thought id get in trouble if he caught me watching superman but when he did once he was real happy so. tf wrong with me #he loves to say hes superman a lot and id be like Dad... Stop... LMAO but in the cheesiest way possible he do be my hero so. accurate ig #but yeah thats my origin story for why i like comics again thank you for reading if you actually read all that #and sorry it got all sappy Unfortunately i be like that sometimes. i am very emotionally constipated and i over explain a lot #ok i fr gonna end it here im gonna keep going by accident if i thinka any longer and i have stuff i still have to do

Dysprosium, Mary Soon Lee

dysprosium, AN 66, is a silvery-white rare earth metal. its name is derived from the greek dysprositos, meaning “hard to get at”, owing to the difficulty in separating and isolating this rare earth element. dysprosium is used to measure neutron flux, to fuel reactors, and to activate phosphors. terfenol-d is a magnetorestrictive alloy, meaning that it changes shape when a magnetic field is applied, and is used to manufacture underwater acoustic systems.
