Anyone else take pictures of random dogs on vacation?

Every summer I come to Ireland and I always see dogs just minding their own business and having the time of their lives. Open spaces, cooler weather, and fewer leashes 💙

Goff Elementary in Moses Lake, Washington, went into lockdown after someone reported what they believed was a mountain lion near the school grounds. Wildlife officials were called in and the school followed emergency procedures to keep students and staff safe.

After a full response, the supposed mountain lion was identified as a large domestic cat—specifically, a fat cat eating a rat near the building.

The lockdown was lifted once the area was confirmed to be safe. Officials say it's always better to be cautious, but this time the threat turned out to be nothing more than an oversized house cat with a big appetite.

Another edition of dogs in raincoats. It’s been raining all day here in DC. Kudos to my dog walkers who hit the streets rain or shine - sometimes braving the elements for 6-8 hours - to make sure these dogs get out no matter what ☔️

I can't say that Henry enjoys his walks more than any other dog, but I've never met a dog who enjoys his walks more than Henry.

Everyone is certain that their dog is the best dog. I'm certain of that too. But I also know that Henry is the best dog, and he doesn't have to be mine to know that.

We started walking Henry ten years ago. He was timid and scared, but I won him over with a little patience and kindness. He started walking with us when we were still a very small and new business, and I was still doing daily walks so I got to know him well. He is the kindest, gentlest soul and radiates a warm energy. He's also the fastest dog I've ever met, whether running through congressional cemetery or catching food before it even hits the floor.

He became best friends with my dog, Jax, as soon as they met. To this day, Henry is the only dog that Jax will let through our front door or near his food. When they see each other they revert to their puppy selves and play and play and play. Watching them together will be forever one of my favorite things.

Henry is crossing the rainbow bridge today and to say that I'm gutted, devasted, wrecked...would all be understatements. I'm just so incredibly sad. Jax and I will miss our friend so much. We love you Henry. We are so glad we got a chance to know the very best dog, and ten years was not nearly enough years with you.

When spring is in the air and the sun hits just right. It’s been a long, cold winter friends, and Fuji can see the light.
