Black and white dog wearing sequined bunny ears headband on beige carpet.

Surprising she let the ears stay on long enough for a few photos.

Me too.

Photo part of a fundraiser for the Saskatoon SPCA.

The image features a person dressed as Santa Claus sitting next to a brindle and white dog. Santa Claus is wearing a traditional red suit with white fur trim, glasses, and a black belt. The dog has a brindle and white coat and is wearing a bright pink harness. They are sitting together on a white fluffy surface. In the background, there are several Christmas trees adorned with red and silver ornaments. The setting creates a festive holiday atmosphere.

Pixie asked Santa for a squeaky toy and lots of treats.

One of the yellow and one of the purple combos didn't make sense to me, so it was a guess.

Feed seems stuck again. Ask and ye shall receive?

Dog with glowing red collar sitting on a grassy field under green auroras at night in Saskatoon.

The image is a webpage from Saskatoon Free-Net, a community-based computer network serving Saskatoon, Canada. The page has a white-grey textured background with blue and black text. At the top-left is the Saskatoon Free-Net logo, which features a stylized blue globe with a sweeping arc and the text "Saskatoon Free-Net" beside it. Below the logo, there is a paragraph describing Saskatoon and the Saskatoon Free-Net (SFN). The text is divided into sections titled "First Time Guest," "Sponsors," and "SFN Picture Gallery," with corresponding information and hyperlinks.

Actually remember old BBS days too.

I also found one of the blue words was one I have not used in that context.

I was lucky and the theme jumped out at me early.

But I needed hints with strands today. I usually can get it without help

I've lived in Saskatchewan my whole life, and I'm still not sure how to pronounce Findlater.

I also use the Purple Air maps

I'm doing the German course right now, and a lot of the character stories seem to line up with what you have described as well as these other sources. Which course are you doing?

There is a Duolingo fandom wiki that has some backstory on the characters

Duolingo blog has some background too, e.g.

I think they got the colors wrong. Blue wasn't obvious to me either.

I'm glad your pup is back home.

Not sure if Mojo is still looking for openings. Nutrien posted for a Sr Analyst, QA (Automation). If that might be of interest, DM me for deets.

I looked at this one right after midnight, and didn't have a clue. I was lucky that the purple one revealed itself after I slept.

I second this!

I admit I had to solve this one on paper first.

Connections got me too.

What was up with the air quality advisory in Regina earlier today? It seemed limited to Regina and not surrounding areas, which seemed odd. Was the refinery having trouble, or maybe a big fire?

That's been the hardest part of returning to the office after working from home... I miss my pup. (I think she misses me too.)

Me too.

Link doesn't work for me. It goes to a godaddy holding page.

A brindle dog with a white belly is clearly enjoying a July day while on her back on a patch of lawn. Lower front of image is a patio of paving stones, and a sidewalk runs along the right to corner.

Apparently my photo app thinks my dog is a cat.

Me too. I've been stumped a lot this week. Probably should stop doing them right after midnight, when I'm tired.

A brindle and white dog is sitting in a dark livingroom with only three floors of a Christmas tree reflecting on the tv screen in the background.

In my part of S'toon, there seem to be a lot of fireworks, since about 8 pm until even now (almost 1 am). Fortunately, my pup appears curious but not freaked out.
