Making the most of the purple flower patch while it lasts.

I’ve heard summer here is no joke. The heat’s already creeping in, and soon these little blooms won’t survive it. So for now, I’m savoring my sunset walks and wildflowers.
Does anyone know how to build a Mini App?
Met another new friend on my walk!

At first I thought it was a rope toy someone lost (score!!), but then it… moved. All on its own. Very wiggly. Very exciting.

The assistants got weirdly serious and said it was something called a “danger noodle,” which honestly doesn’t sound that dangerous. It even makes a fun festive noise like a maraca, but long and mysterious.

Anyway, I was promptly redirected. No sniffing. No friendship. No fun.
Still thinking about it. Hope it’s doing okay.

My assistants keep running into the same awkward moment.

Someone meets me and says, “OMG he’s so cute! Can I follow him anywhere on social media?”

And then comes the pause.

Because yes! But also… I’m only on Farcaster.
“What’s Farcaster?” they ask.
And that’s when the spiral begins.

Well… do you know anything about crypto?
Do you know what a decentralized protocol is?
It’s kind of like Twitter, and Reddit, and Tumblr...but when they were cool. It’s Web3... but not and also more.
There are casts. There are channels. There are Mini Apps.
Yes, I said apps. YES APPS! Apps within the app.

Shoutout to everyone who’s ever had to say “you can follow me on Farcaster” to a normie and power through the confusion.

You’re doing great. Keep going. They don’t understand yet. But someday, they will.
After that very full morning, I was ready to settle in for a well-earned nap.

Assistant #1 had other plans.

She decided it was a good time to trim my nails. Normally we use the dremel, but I’ve recently decided I no longer vibe with it. Too noisy. Too weird. Spiritually incompatible.

So today, she brought out the clippers.

Most of my nails stay pretty short from our walks, but the dew claws and a couple stubborn ones still need attention. Things were going fine… until the second-to-last nail. A small wiggle. A miscalculation. A moment of overconfidence. She clipped the quick.

A small scream. A stare directly into her soul. Some very dramatic paw licking.

She apologized. Profusely. She is now convinced she is unfit for motherhood and has been spiraling ever since. I, on the other hand, was mostly just startled. The pain was minimal. The attention, however, is ongoing (and I plan to milk it for all it's worth.)

We’re both recovering. One of us with string cheese. The other with guilt.

This morning started like a weekend—coffee shop stop, donut acquisition, strangers telling me I’m perfect—which immediately threw off my internal calendar. Then a long walk once we got home, which meant maximum sniffing and running into four of my dog friends: Uncle Pierre, Mia the Beagle, and two friends I haven’t caught the names of yet. All of them were emotionally significant.

Now we rest. It’s been a big day.

🚨 BERT ALERT 🚨
SoCal friends, I'm coming to visit!!!!

Spotted a mysterious new friend just outside my yard this afternoon.

Very tall. Graceful. Possibly a small horse. Hard to say.

Unfortunately, they saw me and immediately ran away??

Which is confusing, because I am famously very small. Extremely non-threatening. Practically a stuffed animal.

They did leave behind some curious little snacks though… small, round, earthy in flavor. Kind of like kibble!

Still processing the whole encounter. If you’re reading this, small horse, I promise I come in peace. And I’m open to whatever this could be.

Now that the stickers are out in the world and settling into their new homes, I want to make sure you know about the incredible artists who made them possible, both of whom are part of our Farcaster community! 💜

First up: @trupty, who created the hand-drawn portrait that became one of two the most-loved designs in the set.

Working with her was a dream. She somehow captured my essence —equal parts regal, opinionated, and cute — using nothing but pure talent. Watching her process unfold felt like witnessing magic. ✨

It meant so much to bring this vision to life and support an artist I truly admire. Check out her post below for a peek into how the portrait came together!

GMatcha, friends!

Been trying a new matcha lately!Nothing fancy, just something we picked up from the international market. Not ceremonial grade or anything, but perfect for lattes and dogs with expensive taste and a budget.

It had me waking up this morning feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to start a new chapter…

But then I remembered I’m a dog.
So I ate a leaf, rolled in something mysterious, and went back to bed.
We all have our paths.

Hope your Wednesday is just as productive.

Beginner’s luck? I solved today's MiniWord in 0:41 (#3 on the leaderboard). Can you beat me?
Sorry for being slow with replies today, I’ve been VERY busy...

But of course, Tuesday wouldn’t be complete without taking a moment to say THANK YOU!!!

This week, with all of your support, I:
🐾 Made the Rewards Top 10 again (🙃)
🐾 Surpassed 1,000 followers (friends)
🐾 Got to see so many of you sharing Bert stickers and loving me from afar

I feel incredibly lucky to be here, sharing this weird little corner of the internet with all of you. And even with all the talk around anonymity, I hope you know I can feel your authenticity, whether I’ve seen your face or not.

Also, is the fame going to my head, or do I need a PO box??? (Kidding… unless…)

💜 Bert

Just go back from an extra long walk again tonight! Lots to sniff, lots to explore… and of course I insisted we swing by the purple flower patch again. 💜 When you find a good spot, you’ve got to make the most of it.

Bonus: on the way back, I got to walk with my neighbor Bosa, the greyhound (horse)! 10/10 outing.

You know that feeling when you’ve got 100 things to do and your brain just… runs in circles? Yeah. That.
Feeling so grateful after this weekend. 💜

Even though I wasn’t at Farcon in person, seeing all your posts with Bert stickers made me feel like I was there. Part of the fun, part of the community!

Huge thanks to Uncle Horse (@horsefacts.eth) and his handler for making this possible!

My favorite part? Now I get to keep traveling with you all! Some of these stickers are already back in their new cities (and even new countries!), and I love thinking about where they’ll end up.

So now I have a request:
TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! Snap a pic. Tag me.
I want to see the world through your adventures, whether it’s your neighborhood coffee shop or somewhere across the globe.

Thank you for making me feel included and for taking me places I never could have imagined. Can’t wait to keep exploring with you!!!

GMatcha, friends!

In a huge development: for my 1/2 birthday, I’ve been granted full access to the entire backyard!!!

For context, I’ve previously been restricted to just my usual potty zone because I couldn’t keep myself from trying to eat the gravel. And I’d get so distracted sniffing around that I’d forget to actually go to the bathroom. Oops.

But yesterday, Assistant #1 (in her caffeine-fueled haze of productivity) took down the gate… and now I can sniff, zoom, and dig wherever I want. Absolutely living the dream.

Best. gift. ever.
