Small Albert most definitely *did not* eat the pretzels that were on the counter. #shelties #dogsofsky

Adding the final touches to the #inquirymap article. An Adjacent Question is one that contains *both* of the Key Terms from the Original Question. An Advancing Question contains only *one* of the Key Terms from the Original Question. #edusky #tlsky #skybrarians #inquiry

Last year I started growing a Chicago Hardy Fig tree ordered from Burpee. It did great in the garden, but all its branches died off in the winter. New growth appeared in May, and now IT’S TWO FEET TALL!!! Anyone know anything about growing figs in New Hampshire? #figs #newbeginnings #garden

Look what arrived in the mail! I’ll be interviewing author @rosanneparry.bsky.social as part of a project I’m doing with middle schoolers this year. I met Rosanne last year when we selected A Wolf Called Wander as the lead title in our One Book program. #edusky #tlsky #skybrarians #booksky

This is Small Albert. What’s he thinking? #dogs #sheltie #dogsofsky

From this Morning’s Writing: The process of physically arranging inquiry questions on the map and then adding topography prompts reflection. What feature forced these roads to diverge? Was the river of our conversation an obstacle, or a way to move forward quickly? #edusky #tlsky #skybrarians

Small Albert has found the fan again. It takes a heat wave before he discovers it every summer. Happy fellow, now. #sheltie #dogsofsky

From this Morning’s Writing: An inquiry map resembles a process paper written in real-time. Questions can be moved around into different positions. Mountains, lakes, bridges, cabins, even castles can be added. Arrows show the way. How did we get where we ended up? #edusky #tlsky #skybrarians

Every year, Small Albert forgets how the fan works. Today he remembered. #shetlansheepdogs #shelties

I think spring has arrived in our neck of the woods. #Bears #NHwildlife

This is how Small Albert informs me that it's time to go out.

The expression says it all! Small Albert did something similar a few months ago...

After a foot of snow, Small Albert was eager for a game of Frisbee in the Dog Maze. Sheltie folks, do you dig mazes for your dogs? We sort of have to, here in NH. #shelties #dogs

Albert loves a good tennis ball, but Frisbees are better in snow because they don’t get lost. #SheltieOfBluesky #Shelties #SheltiesOfSky #Sheltie #ShetlandSheepdog #ShetlandSheepdogs

My sister will *never* guess what I got her for Christmas.

Albert has destroyed *every* soft toy he’s ever been given. Lovingly, of course. Do you know of any soft-friend (preferably sheep-shaped because, well, you know) toys that you can recommend? #SheltieOfBluesky #Shelties #SheltiesOfSky #sheltie #ShetlandSheepdog #ShetlandSheepdogs

My sister-in-law took this video at my dad’s birthday party, and showed me afterward. I guess you could say Albert *almost* took the cake. #shelties #dogsofbluesky #shetlandsheepdog

The picture is a little blurry, but there’s no mistaking the happiness: Albert *loves* cucumbers more than any other food. Is this a sheltie thing? #shelties #dogsofbluesky

Anyone else have a flop-eared #sheltie? We removed the tape from his ears when he was a pup. He doesn't seem to mind. #shelties #dogsofbluesky

We call this toy Albert’s “planet” because it has rings, sort of like Saturn. It’s his favorite. So I present to you *ALBERT, DEVOURER OF PLANETS* #dogs #dogsofbluesky #shelties
