Very well done. npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…d0yj I feel like they could have done another Labyrinth npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…0hde I miss the Web without pop ups. I miss free email subscription, Irish telecom offered it and my first email domain was at Eircom. I miss just being able to build your own website and publish it without strings attached. The possibilities were endless and it felt like magic. I miss owning my music/films/TV rather than renting it. npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo *Mastodon* niche audio help sought!!! I have some ongoing issues with a guide dog puppy in training. Specifically I need audio on a long loop (10mins+) of the booming exterior noise a car radio makes from the exterior (windows closed). This could be from one or several moving or static vehicle/s. This is for noise sensitivity training. The usual searches did not help. Boosts welcome. Do your thing you beautiful people. #PupInTraining #MastoDaoine #DogsOfMastodon #Help #MastoHelp #Audio https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/116/423/892/184/216/753/original/dfe23b2780de48b0.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/116/423/892/177/758/436/original/cb17e1a1a83d70eb.jpg npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…yrjm It's a bad business and you are a good person. Thank you for standing up. npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo I bet you didn't know dogs could do THIS. This is the dog I trained from a puppy last year. His name is Yohan. 4 separate streams of training done; basic obedience and shop work with me for 13 months. Guiding, assistance and wheelchair with 3 (and more) separate trainers in Cork since April 2025. Over 2 years total. This video is from his trainer who did his wheelchair phase work. Yohan begins his journey with his new forever owner soon. #IrishGuideDogs #MastoDaoine #DogsOfMastodon https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/116/324/135/923/856/354/original/d013b045b3ef4897.mp4 npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…dyu0 Love all this! I would add if you don't want to do alt text you can add #AltTextForYou hashtag and somebody else will do it. It's a lot to get used to if you're coming from a place of never having done it before. But if you are, you made it to a safe space, reemphasising point 3, use it as you like. Don't sweat the small stuff, you'll get it. npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…n926 But... Receptionists were replaced like 20 years ago with a cheap 'press 1 for sales, 2 for accounts, 3 for dungeons' type automated service. Nobody wanted that either.

He's a very chill pup. This is day 1 of Quintin's puppy raising adventure with me. We'll be spending a lot of time in the garden over the next few days. Other pluses - he gives strong toilet cues. The sniffs are obvious and many. This is a very good thing. #IrishGuideDogs #MastoDaoine #DogsOfMastodon https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/115/105/264/259/377/650/original/7963d614287218f7.mp4 npub1s3rre5mxs29zpw08mtqh602c3gurt546nfzzrv4fytefsmqrtfhsd0sh2r Graceless Hippo @nprofile…ltln Naturally.
