Title: Bluesky post: long dogs on trains photo and obs.
Post by: Mark A on August 25, 2024, 16:01:51
A situation that for two three reasons made me think of Grahame.

1) Long dogs on trains photo

2) Good observation along the lines of family friendly space on trains, though 3 greyhounds might be pushing it.

3) The way a post on Bluesky can appear on Mastodon and vice versa, because of something technical that they share that I don't understand well enough to explain. This might in the future be useful to the rail industry should they decide that a prescence on Twitter no longer aligns with their values.

Graham does indeed have two long dogs (greyhounds). Both very individual. Lightning is mature and sensible; Lulu is a monkey. I've met both of them, and we became sort of friends. :)

If I can work out how to do it, I'll post a picture of them, sniffing around for apples under the trees in their garden, back in June.  ::)

Pictures yesterday (not stopping long enough to sniff).  Would you believe this is the "mature and sensible" one?

Yes, they tend to run open-mouthed which is why you often see them muzzled - to avoid damage if there collide with something or someone
