It's our Alonsoversary !

Alonso was just collected by his owner, who also brought us another 10kg of dog food for the boy. Alonso thought this signalled a bonus mealtime and had to be extracted from the kitchen to go home.

His owners are okay, just both working late, and apparently each thought the other was going to collect Alonso

We understand. Many parents have a school run to do. Fewer also need to make time for an Alonso run too

Update: Alonso's head wound is healing nicely. He tries to scratch it every now and then, now that the dreaded cone has been removed. However, it's clear the thing he missed most while wearing the cone was being able to lick his balls. He spent most of his first day of freedom making up for lost time.

A rather moist Alonso has arrived, and says that yes, pancakes on a Saturday morning would be lovely.

Alonso picked out and ate the larger beef rings and ignored the "old manny porridge" (the stuff his owners gave us to feed him), then turned to us to ask where his pancakes were

Poor Alonso is not happy that the chasseurs are nearby. He's been barking at the window and whining. He KNOWS.

Alonso just fell off the desk.

Alonso has been collected by his owners after another sleepover. I think this determined little dog has spent more nights here than at home this week.

He's here so often now they're going to give us the medicine he's supposed to have for his rheumatism so he doesn't miss any doses. ️

Alonso, boulot, dodo.

Alonso stayed here last night, which meant we could get an early start on testing Linux kernel release candidates 6.17.12-rc1, 6.12.62-rc1 and 6.18.1-rc1

Alonso says those look ok and can we have second breakfast now?

Alonso has just arrived, which means Friday night can begin.

Last night Alonso watched through the whole process while we prepared dinner, sniffing each of the ingredients that I held out for him, and supervising the cooking. He was then was whisked away by his owner before he got to try any.

He is once again in the kitchen, supervising the dinner hopefully. Will he get to stay?

Alonso's Friday night sleepover plans were foiled as his owner finished work in time to collect him.

He did, however, manage to share a little bit of our dinner first 🥩

No sign of the boy today. It was a beautiful day so we went to the lac without him.

The top of a fallen tree has been blocking the path next to the lac for weeks, which meant precariously squeezing past it and trying not to fall in. Today I decided to do something about it, and spent about 20 minutes sawing all the small branches with the tiny bush saw on my pen knife and cleared the path. Next time I'll take something a bit bigger!

At least now we won't have to worry about Alonso falling in!

Pizza night tonight. We'd just sat down to eat when a familiar WUFF came at the door.

It's dark and after 9pm. We've texted his owners and told them he can stay

The pile of blankets on my desk is snoring.

Alonso is one smart dog.

We took him out into the woods yesterday to collect some firewood with the tracteur. 🪵

Today, we were out in the woods again and so not at the house when he came to visit.

Alonso followed his nose out into the woods and found us, to tell us it was time to come back in for lunch and to work on some code.

He's such a good boy.

Alonso really didn't want to go home last night.

He'd waited patiently for dinner, which was almost ready when a knock at the door signalled the arrival of his owner.

I took him outside (and closed the door behind me). After a quick run around outside, Alonso returned and tried to get back inside, then implored me to let him in. His poor owner was calling to him, but he kept looking up at me *pleading* to be allowed to stay.

Alonso was back before breakfast this morning.

Alonso is back with his owners tonight again after a two day visit. Mostly coding, a little light forestry and many many naps.

Alonso was very cold out in the woods this afternoon so we put him on my jacket in the tracteur while we finished up. He liked that. Warm, and able to keep an eye on us. Then he had a ride back to the house sitting on my lap

A whine at the door during breakfast heralded the arrival of a somewhat moist Alonso. He has been towelled-off, fed, wrapped in a blanket and is now fast asleep.

Think I'll grab another cup of tea and work on some code.
