In Germany, cats are called 'Stubentiger', which means 'living room tiger.'

www.wyomingnews.com/news/local_n... One more black mark against the damned things.

Reasons to ride: To test yourself (that's the only hill on that route that burns my legs!) and see wildlife (I think that's a Swainson's hawk. I didn't even try to photograph the 2 pronghorn that ran across the road in front of me.).

Spent part of the day at the Laramie 4th celebration with Wyoming Citizens Climate Lobby. Our booth was right behind this bubble tower, the therapy goats were just around the corner, and this corgi is the best advertisement for doggles I have ever seen!

Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera coloradensis) blossoms always look best in the morning!

These hills look intimidating from far away, but start riding them and you realize they're not too bad.

The main reason I ride Otto Road in the summer is to see these guys at the turnaround point.

Today wasn't the best day for Storm. He somehow broke a toe and now can't do his favorite thing in the world...chasing tennis balls. He'll be unavailable for adoption while his toe heals up, but he'll be available at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter after that.

Hermes is the loveliest pit bull! He really wanted to run, but soon settled down to sniffing. He did drag me over to some things he wanted to investigate, so be prepared for that! If you can't resist that pittie smile, cme meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Bjorn has been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter for a while now. I can't figure out why no one's snapped him up yet. He will sit for a treat and takes them ever-so-gently. I guess he just needs a Great Pyrenees-sized home!

Laverne and Shirley have been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter for over a month. They are bonded and must be adopted together, but they also weigh in at roughly 80 lbs. (41 kgs) apiece! Shirley is more outgoing, but Laverne is more biddable. They walk nicely on leash.

With some trepidation, I hereby announce that I am open for your dog training needs! If you are in Cheyenne, WY and need help with your dog, check out my services at collegetrydogtraining.com

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/c... This was always going to happen. The Colorado River Compact of 1922 was based on 2 abnormally wet years. But with the advent of climate change and data centers, it's happening much faster.

Unfortunately still just as true today as when Oscar Wilde wrote it in 1890.

Selleck's first time to the beach! TT: Selleck The Mustache Cat IG: mr.selleck

Ace has a front-clip harness assigned to him because he is a Very Strong Dog. That clip position makes all the difference! He loves to sniff, but when I got him to pay attention to me, hewas an extremely affable dog. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Lavern is a littermate to Shirley, and like her has been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter for just over 2 weeks. She is the more easygoing of the 2-she likes very slow walks so she can be sure to sniff everything. She is shy at first, but warms up quickly!

Wilbur got adopted today; a family was looking at him just before I took him out. I think it'll stick. Wilbur is a gentle dog who doesn't pull on the leash at all.

Shirley loves to check out the long grass to see what might be hiding there. She threw herself over to scratch her back multiple times. She has been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter just over 2 weeks. If you are a labrador person, she'd love to meet you!

The shelter has Bjorn listed as a Great Pyrenees mix. He struck me as a mountain of dog, but he is a mountain that doesn't pull and loves butt scratches! Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Niko is an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois. He was a little nervous at first, but one he realized we were going outside for a walk, he smiled the whole way! Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Another High Plains Lions Club Ride For Sight in the books! 1st pic is looking from the 10-mile waypoint toward Pine Bluffs. I want to get a decent photo of the bluffs, but I need to go back with a wide-angle lens. Hard ride headed west-right into a 30 mph headwind!

Dogs are like: “GRANDMA!”❤️ TT: @cute.funny222

I got my blog updated! Got to wondering about microbes breaking down plastic, so researched it. Planning to deviate to another subject before coming back to plastics, but for now, here's an overview: sciencefornonscientistsblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/19/m...

Rule proposal: If you cannot ride your bike up a 0.2-mile, 10% grade in less than 5 minutes, do not lay on your horn at those who can. Simply go around them as the previous several vehicles did.

This is a perceptive and beautifully written piece on why scientists hold back from acting on climate Hard to disgree with its conclusions: much of the responsibility lies with the research institutions that employ them

Noodle has been renamed Sprocket. You'd be surprised how often a new name helps a dog get adopted. Poor Sprocket just doesn't get along well with other dogs. He needs to be the only dog in the house. If you're interested, meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Juniper was transferred to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter from Casper. She loves sniffing, sits for treats, and doesn't pull at the leash.

Vinny has been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter for a while now because he doesn't have good kennel presence. He tends to bark at passers-by, and he has a loud, scary bark. He really is just a big softie! (For anyone interested in nosework, he follows scent trails like a pro!)

Come to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter and meet Tatum! He's big and very strong inside, but once he gets outside he's all about sniffing, chasing butterflies, and leaning into pats!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Vinny has been at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter for a while, so I decided to take him into Ellie's Garden rather than walking around the building. He trotted around and sniffed things, just decompressing from the kennel. Just before we went in, he found a tennis ball and took it along!

Lila got adopted today! The family that adopted her drove 3 hours south from Casper to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter, and when they found she was still on her stray period and would be up for adoption the next day, they found a hotel. She's definitely going to a great home!

Poor Noodle doesn't know how to dog. He ignored some signals from another dog yesterday in play group and got bitten. Looks much worse than it is-ear wounds bleed a lot. It has not dampened his spirits any! The people in animal care are pretty sure he is a man in a dog's body.

Great explainer story on all that is wrong with the plan to shove liquefied CO2 (byproduct of fermenting corn into ethanol) into the pores of the porous rocks in my home state (IL). Starting with acidified aquifers. CO2 capture and storage is dangerous and dumb. www.thenewlede.org/2026/05/farm...

Hey all you science people-do you find you're having trouble trusting your journal sources? I've been looking up whether they are peer-reviewed, but even if they are, if I find lots of misspelled words and grammatical errors, I begin to doubt. Especially if it's from the MDPI search engine.

Another reason to ride-you get to see things! I also saw a Swainson's hawk and on my way back, 2 pronghorn ran across the road in front of me. Could have done without the half-ton pickup blaring its horn at me while I was going up a 10% grade, but more winning than losing.

Noodle the Doodle is still waiting at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. His only failing is that he doesn't do well with young children. He is highly treat-motivated, but takes the treats gently.

Romeo was happy to walk, but he preferred the concrete to the soil. As he is not on the website, it looks like he was adopted today. I hope his new owner puts him on a diet-he'll feel so much better once he gets rid of that extra weight!

Meet my current favorite at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter, Vinny! Vinny loves to sniff. He tried to run, but when he hit the end of the leash, he decided that walking would be preferable to the jerk on his collar. He loves treatrs and takes them gently.

Gideon loves treats, but it can take a minute to get his attention. Once you have it, he lures well to Sit and Down, though once he gets his treat, he doesn't stay there long. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

I was surprised no one's snapped Balboa up yet. He's an extremely smart dog! He remembered Sit and Down from last week, so we started working on Shake. He's going to need an owner who can keep his brain busy with lots of games. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Noodle is highly treat-motivated, exactly the sort of dog you want if you don't want training to be too hard. We went through Sit and Down multiple times. He came to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter as a transfer; he had a skin infection already treated. Now he just needs to grow out his coat.

Zeus is vocal in his kennel, ready for anything out of it, and a fantastic cuddler! He even tried to climb into my lap! He takes treats gently and sits on cue. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Hutch is very big and very strong! Fortunately, all he needs to chill out is a couple hours to run around and sniff all the things. After that, he'll be a mostly good house dog. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!

Balboa was all smiles and happy to be out! He knows sit, so we worked on down. He tried to cheat with his elbows on the ground and his butt in the air, but we got there. I don't think he'll be on the Cheyenne Animal Shelter floor for long!

Miki came in as a stray. He isn't a year old yet! He is a jumper, but still just a puppy, so that can be trained out. He loves sticks. He picked one up and tore it to pieces! I threw one for him and he ran after it, grabbed it, and showed off zoomies. Meet him at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter!
