What the data currently covers

These counts are context for reading the public pages.

The structured set currently covers 1,430 days, from 2022-05-14 to 2026-04-25. It also refers to 811 training logs, 3,728 health events, 624 food item records, and 6,728 tags.

The largest themes are alone time, walks, dog friends, dog runs, and barking. That is why the fixed-page flow keeps returning to issue sorting, data reading, and preparation.

The navigation is shaped by what appears most often in the records.

3 Rules for Not Misreading Numbers

We align on the premise for reading tiny wag's numbers as clues for observation rather than diagnosis or assertion.

The Data Guide is a page to prevent misreading tiny wag's numbers.

The records on this site are clues to make it easier to look back on daily events. There are only 3 things to align beforehand.

  • Compare with Dory's own past. We prioritize the difference from the same dog's usual state over general averages.
  • Don't separate the context before and after. Look at meals, walks, visitors, weather, time away from home, etc. together.
  • Don't use supplementary values or estimates for assertion. If in doubt, treat it as a candidate for next review.

This is not a page to see today's condition, but a page to align on which numbers to take and how.

Rules to Reduce Misreading

The stronger the scene in which numbers appear, the more we align on standards to avoid assertion.

  • Don't add what isn't written
  • Prioritize original records for units, times, and counts
  • Leave unknown things unknown
  • Don't state the cause definitively; treat it as a candidate
  • Look at what happened before and after to judge
  • Check for contradictions in dates and sequence

Handling of Supplementary, Estimated, and Reprocessed Values

We've briefly summarized the premise for reading revised telemetry for readers.

Published page values contain a mix of items taken directly from the original diary and those supplemented or reprocessed later. When in doubt, prioritize information closest to the original text and use supplementary values as auxiliary lines for comparison.

  • Read items close to the original text first, such as meal amounts, defecation times, and event notes
  • Tags, time away from home, weather, and some metrics may be refined later and should be used as supplementary aids for trend confirmation
  • Values containing estimates are not grounds for assertion but candidates for review
  • Don't force-fill blanks or unknown values; leave them as they are

How to Organize One Day's Records

We preserve free-form diary entries while organizing them into units that can be used for daily comparison.

One day's records are organized into comparable items later while keeping the free-form diary intact.

  • Meals: Keep morning and evening amounts and totals separate
  • Defecation: Keep success, failure, and time separate
  • Health events: Extract teeth brushing, vomiting, visits, interactions, etc. as events
  • Environment: Link weather, visitors, time away from home, etc. to the same day
  • Tags: Keep only short themes that make searching easier later
