Have you tested this same judge of character thing? I wonder if you might just be picking up on subtle clues and (perhaps subconsciously) letting the dog do the work of judging. :)

Sounds/looks like a great dog!

This is Bailey.

He likes playing ball, swimming in Lake Michigan, watching Star Trek and chasing squirrels.

I think he likes jazz.

He and I have the same judge of character and we like/dislike the same people.

We have a unsaid understanding.

Yeah, that makes sense. I think that if it came down to it, I'd probably trust his judgement more than mine anyway.

I tend to function more on instinct, he usually thinks things through and pulls me away from certain danger.

If there was such a thing as a philosophical seeing eye dog, he'd be it. He's deep like that.

Stampy has already made an appearance but I made an impulse purchase last week that I thought was worth sharing - the Timbuk2 Muttmover dog backpack. I don't know if he loves it but he doesn't try to escape and he doesn't whine or bark or anything. It worked out quite well for our trip to the vet on Monday. Also, it is adorable.

Found an old photo of Gracie (1997-2012) on an old phone and needed to see it on a bigger screen

(looking at this photo really shows me that she truly was about 90% blind before she died) :

This is Makoto, my recently adopted 3yo Shiba Inu. Still trying to get him around on my bike the best way!
