#coffee #DayInTheLife #DogLife #Greyhound Somehow Rocky slept until 0430. Once awake, he charmed #TheStaff (me) into opening the dining rooms and gardens for his amusement. After being fed and doing necessary things, and carefully (not at 0500) checking the environs for undead presences, Rocky went back to sleep. Staff failed open so is now sleep tooting. (Interesting story about the origins of tooting -- would you believe a dare for a contribution? #truth. NO, NOT THAT "Truth")

Ahoy, I’m Rocky #introduction and my pronoun is “your lordship” I rule this joint, well, Missy let’s me pretend. That’s her bum to my left. She’s also a former racing #greyhond. We both are officers of hidden rank in an outfit called @ZombieSquadHQ #ZSHQ defenders of the planet from the undead menace and wheelie bin tippers! Behind the scenes, we have a servant that we keep in a cupboard below stairs. #SillyMe their pronoun is #TheStaff or just #Staff.

#TheStaff went out to take the morning photographical, saw it’s shadow, and returned to bed muttering about 6 more weeks of summer. #dogslife

#TheStaff is beginning believe that Mastodon is write-only media as interaction is limited. Frustrating. #dogs #dogslife #greyhounds #liveoak Sunday evening is glorious. Cool, breezy with after supper walk and short neighbor chat. 0515q Rocky and I make #bluehour patrol as color returns to the sky. Will try with #realcamera Monday evening.

#TheStaff advises the #Greyhounds that we should become coffee experts as, apparently, #coffee is more interesting than #greyhounds on Mastodon. #Coffee posts appear to get #CoffeeGang aroused and command way more boosts and favs than we do. Sick, totally sick!

Hey all, remember how mastodon works. Posts only propagate one level in the follower tree. Mastodon routes our clever mastodon posts only to followers of Dismal Manor Gang. Awarding a ⭐️ favorite let’s #TheStaff know post was at least a little interesting.

For your followers to learn of a ⭐️post, ou must pass it on. To pass the post on, you must re-toot it. #thanks

Rocky: #TheStaff reading spectacles have gone missing. Dog bed toss threatened. Staff believes glasses are with yogurt & ice cream spoons! Daft, innit! #dogs #mastodogs #mastohounds #greyhounds

#TheStaff edited my portrait! #photos

Rocky: I had boar flavored pellets while #TheStaff ate the stuff below that is not for Rockys. Dutch oven roasted onions, carrots, shitacki mushrooms, and russet potatoes roast. #dogs #dogsofmastodon #greyhounds #castironcooking The scallops need about 30 minutes at 400F. (Weather in C, cooking in F) maillard reaction needs 350 F to go. Strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert.
