Kappa, fully relaxed and just observing his surroundings.

He always looks vaguely worried.

A short hike + 15 minute offleash dog play + an outdoor monument walk + a museum visit!

One very tired donut.

Belated 2 year Kappa update!

He continues to be intelligent, intuitive, goofy, and Very opinionated lol. He’s maturing more now but he is still very much a young dog/teen with teen feelings and teen brain.

I’m so happy to have him and he’s made the last couple years a very wonderful adventure. I can’t imagine taking trips without him now.

Certified Best Boy at 6 Weeks vs 1 Year (13.5 Months)

So many people love him and I’m so happy and proud and full of love every time I have a chance to share him! He’s a phenomenal dog and I wouldn’t trade him for anything.

We’re BAAAACK! Took an extended tumblr break because I was starting to take it all way too seriously lmao.

Back to regular updates about my angel dog. Kappa is 2 now, has made more doggy friends, and is currently on a weeklong road trip to the Grand Canyon with me and my family.

Sometimes I look through photos of Kappa’s mom and I am… struck by a likeness.

Soft and warm and full of love.

When I got Kappa I knew absolutely nothing about training dogs. Like!! I knew stuff in theory. I had taught dogs to sit and down and roll over before. I had crate trained a dog or two before. But I had to teach Kappa EVERYTHING, not just a few things, bc I’m his person.

And honestly I did some of it wrong initially. There’s still stuff now that when I learn how to do it correctly I’m like “OH SHIT…. whoopse.”

Some stuff I got right on accident. 😂 Which is hilarious in hind sight.

It all worked out tho. He’s a fun little dude, and he’s my buddy, and he’s my baby, and the fact that he’s cool and functional and social are all things I can only half take credit for.

I see a lot of people worry about doing what’s best for their dogs, especially new dogs or puppies. I’ve seen a lot of people express anxiety about “ruining” their dog by messing up too many times. I’ve had that anxiety too.

Guess this is just a long way of saying that if you really care, and you really try, and you KEEP trying even after your dog is an adult- it’s very likely that your dog will also be fun and cool and functional. Of course I can’t speak for every situation, there are some unfortunate things that happen sometimes that are out of an owner’s control. But for the most part?

Everyone I know who’s ever expressed a worry about doing wrong by their dog has been very very far away from failing. Y’all are cool people and your dogs love you very much.

Today I learned that British toad in the hole is completely different from American toad in the hole

And to think that all this time I wasn’t questioning why British people were so into the fried bread and egg thing.

#American (Nebraska) here #we call it egg in a basket #or I’ve called it window toast before but I’m pretty sure I made that up

I haven’t posted any actual good Kappa pics in a while so here you go. Admire the man.
