Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2026

Speaking of uniforms or logos, Albert got to meet nemesis UPS guy up close and personal in our dining room. He had finished his shift and stopped in for a beer.

I suggested the mail trucks should carry dog treats with them.

This would be the way to go, but, as a postman, I simply cannot get my postmaster to budge on it. Someone high up at USPS decided that if not every mailman has treats, a dog who is used to getting them might become aggressive, which is dumb. Even the safety info we get about dogs in a 5 minute pre-route safety speech (the topic varies but we do have them frequently) is lacking, in my opinion. It doesn't even cover not making eye contact with an agitated dog.

On the brighter side, UPS employees run a facebook page called UPS Dogs, and it's the most heartwarming content I usually see in a day. The drivers just post about their favorite dogs or new dogs on their routes, sometimes other really random animals make it on there, too. I think it's safe to say in this audience that everyone here would absolutely love it. Check it out if you haven't already! Oh, and UPS drivers are allowed to carry treats, and this page shows that it is quite successful for them.

This is about a 4 1/2' vertical faxe, newly scoured. Old fat fahrt had a little trouble climbing it so I used her SD "lift" command holding collar to get me a boost...x2.

Not completely kosher as trained but she had the hang of it...worked!

Good girl!
