Oh my god.

Look, I’m sorry for the wall of text, but... I just hope you all know how grateful I am. October 6th was my first stream as an affiliate and my mind was absolutely BLOWN away. I don’t know what to say. I’m honestly, speechless. Long post in coming...

I’ve already been feeling great - I just hit 500 followers on twitter, and had just gotten affiliate a few days ago, I’ve been on top of the world. I never thought I’d get something like affiliate at all, if you’ve known me, my attitude with streaming has just been, “whatever happens, happens!” and boy, has stuff been happening. I feel like none of this is real. “Tonight wasn’t real, it was all fake.” I thought, but I was wrong. I’m sure it doesn’t seem like a lot for some, but to me it means so so much.

See, I love to make things for people. It’s why I do art raffles, and it’s why I’ve been doing assets lately. I know that not everybody is as fortunate as I am and can afford art, so I try to give back in what few ways I can, to the community, and the community has given me so many things. I’ve made friends, I’ve gotten better at art, I’ve found... just a place where I feel like I’m truly flourishing. Life is stressful, there’s A LOT going on, but honestly... just knowing that I have at least 5 people minimum joining me in my streams to sit there and talk with me is just... meaningful. Like, you take the time out of YOUR day, your busy schedule, to come sit with me, and give me the most precious resource you have -- your time. That’s already giving me so much, but then to receive donations and subs from people is just extremely flattering and, appreciated.

The gratitude you are giving me is letting me know this is all worth it. That, even though I may not be the BEST artist, the BEST vTuber, the BEST person... you all still appreciate me. It lets me know that I do not have to be the best, although I will always be striving to become better so I can deliver better content, like art and all, to you.

I couldn’t even cry. My face was stunned, I was having my mouth wide open like a trout, if my avatar didn’t show it well enough;;;. I just... wasn’t expecting this, at all.

And I NEED you all to understand, that I am super fucking grateful, and I don’t deserve a single one of you watching me, supporting me, just saying nice things to me. I may be incredibly small in comparison, but I honeslty feel like a true fucking queen tonight. You’ve all made me feel so happy, so wonderful, and motivated. I want to keep working hard to make my artwork and whatever else I choose to do, better for you. I will do better and make things look nicer. I will practice more and do more art raffles so that everyone has a fair shot at getting something nice. Sure, what I do may not be much, but still, I hope it at least puts the same smile on someone’s face that’s put upon mine.

This was my FIRST stream as a Twitch Affiliate, and I’ll never forget it. I got subscriptions and a donation, and people were kind enough to be gifting OTHERS subscriptions. Money is an afterthought but, it’s still insane. The way I see it is, what you give me, even if it’s just PENNIES , or MINUTES of your time, it’s you, investing in me. I will not stop, I will keep growing, to not let you feel like you’ve wasted your time and resources on me.

Thank you. And now, for some personal thank-yous.

Thank you Keida, for being my mentor with all things Twitch and OBS, you know a lot and I want to grow side by side with you. I appreciate your “real” personality. 3

Thank you Martinni, for being there since I was small, and being a good, and funny friend to me. ♥ Thank you Ichiban for being a generally sweet person, you’re a great conversationalist and I hope to see you stream even more nowadays. ♥ Thank you Adonis, for lending an ear when I need you, and making sure I am never alone in a stream. Thank you for interacting with nearly every post I make, and supporting me through everything so far. ♥

Thank you Glitchy, for your incredible generosity and interacting with me a lot through twitter. You were literally the MVP of the stream, I don’t even know how I can properly thank you for everything you’ve done. I know you’ve made not only me, but so many other people immensely happy. ♥

Thank you Animation for making me laugh and always talking to me in my streams, you help to keep it from becoming lonely. ♥

And for even more personal thank-yous,

____________________________________________

Thank you Misa, for always helping me and taking care of me. Back in SL together, there was a period of time... I think a year, where I’d log on and you would be one of the ONLY people messaging me. You always waited for me, and never judged me for how long I was gone. I am so glad that I met you and you are in my life. Please never leave it. ♥ You have a heart of gold and must be protected.

Mizu, we’ve been friends for a very long time and well, you know me! I’m happy to call myself a part of your friend group. You and I have both had our share of issues (with other people) and yet never with others. I love how creative you are and when we share our ideas with each-other, it feels like some new crazy idea is always born. You’re incredibly motivating and imaginative and I love that about you.

And of course, my love, my man. Thank you Brian for putting up with my dumb ass. I know I have my moments, where I can be crazy and irrational, but you’re always there to bring me back down to reality. You’ve done so much for me, and sometimes I wonder whether or not I am worthy of being loved by you and being yours. You’re special, I would do anything for you, and I just hope you know that. You’re beautiful inside and out. I know I can be a pain. You’ve always been incredibly patient with me, and gentle. I never thought I’d meet somebody that I would actually “click” with, I always just thought I had to settle, but you actually understand me. I’ll love you, forever.

I know there are many more I did not say a personalized thank-you to, if I missed you I am very sorry, my brainfog is immense with joy and love right now.

Thank you for listening to me.

Week-End Update: Malvern Merriment

We had a pretty busy week-end in Malvern and, despite the cold & the rain, it was a magnificent one overall. Our Raffles For Ruffs Fundraiser at Twenty9 Restaurant & Bar was a huge success! It really was a fun night, the food was great, the prizes were awesome (Chuck, we really do expect a picture of you in those Chihuahua leggings!) and the pics from the photobooth – well, some of them were questionable and very funny. We didn’t have any time to recover to post pics, etc. from the night yet because it was off to Malvern Blooms this morning. It says a lot about what a great community event Malvern Blooms is when there’s still a huge crowd on such a cold & rainy day. Thanks for everyone who stopped by to spend some time with the pups & chat with us, and came out to support the local community.

It was also a great week adoptions too. Legend’s new family met him at the Yellow Springs Art Show last Sunday and it was a love connection. They couldn’t have been more excited and ready to take the plunge when we approved their application, so we know it will be a happily ever after. Legend’s brother Icon, now Fenway, also made a love match to celebrate gotcha day this week. A few more of Guess’s pups were adopted: Prada, Versace & Kors – who was adopted along with McCall! Rocket, now Greyson, Robert and Kasie were also adopted this week.

We have some updates to share as well:

Shelli FKA Shelley

#gallery-2 margin: auto; #gallery-2 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-2 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-2 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Shelli has settled in really well – its like she has always been here! Thanks for helping us adopt Shelli into our lives :)”

Cali FKA Pocahantas

#gallery-3 margin: auto; #gallery-3 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-3 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-3 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“I know I haven’t checked in for a while but here’s a recent picture of Cali! We love her so much and she is extremely spoiled, she already turns 1 year next Saturday! Hope all is well”

Axle FKA Adam

“A year ago today we adopted this cutie! He is the sweetest, goofy-est, scaredy cat dog you’ll ever meet and I love him A year ago today he was afraid to enter houses, afraid of most people, and couldn’t walk on a leash. He’s come so far in a year! Can’t wait for many more years to come with Mr. Axle.”

Jackson FKA Fargo

“Time has flown! Jackson is doing awesome and I love him more than ever! He is the friendliest, loving puppy to humans and other dogs. He frequents doggy daycare once a week to play with his friends and we take many walks throughout the week to explore the city. “

Zena

#gallery-4 margin: auto; #gallery-4 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-4 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-4 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Zena is doing amazing. We are so happy with her. Below are pictures of the pupperz going to the beach. “

Ranger FKA Duke (aka Clooney)

#gallery-5 margin: auto; #gallery-5 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-5 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-5 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“The communication with you guys is excellent and has become an almost regularity around here. Ranger is doing great! He’s settling in more and more everyday, relaxing more, and becoming a better dog all the time. I think he’s finally starting to realize this is his permanent home. We’re consulting with an in-house trainer on a few things to help strengthen our relationship. It’s great having him around.”

Prue

#gallery-6 margin: auto; #gallery-6 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; #gallery-6 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-6 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Prue is settling in well. She’s gone for several walks, loves her backyard and porch, and is getting to know all of the neighbors by barking loudly at them. She also lets us know whenever a UPS truck drives by. She is the sweetest girl and we love her to the moon and back.”

Triton

#gallery-7 margin: auto; #gallery-7 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-7 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-7 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Triton is doing great. He is everything I could have hoped for. He is full of energy and drive and could not be better looking. He is coming along well on learning to obey. That being said he is a total German Shepherd with emphasis on the German. Since this is not my first GSD his stubborn trait is no surprise. I have had to walk away from the situation a few times when it is so obvious he knows what I want him to do but refuses to comply. We will get to the goal as he is too wonderfully smart to give up on.

In fact I had planned this first week to be bonding not training. The bonding has gone great so we sill have a few days before we start “training.” Just yesterday he has started eating well. Chasing balls is a challenge so I am working on runs and walks for exercise. Last Thursday night we has an intense thunderstorm and he had a meltdown. Once he calmed down I let him sleep on a rug beside my bed which he has done every night since, and will continue to do so. When we go outside he never lets me out of his sight.

Riley came over Monday night and is here again tonight. They are pretty good buds and Riley is a pretty patient dog handler. Everyone here loves him. I posted several photos on Facebook last night and he now has fans in three continents.

All in all it is hard to believe he has only been here one week, it feels like he has been a part of the family a long time. He is getting along with the three other dogs here on the property and my daughter’s pit mix. Twice he has shown a bit of what I think may have been jealousy when I petted the other dogs. My Bad. I need to keep that rolled up newspaper to smack myself on the head when I forget what to do and what not to do.

He is a great dog. Thanks for getting him for us.”

Nala FKA Velma

“Nala’s (Velma, adopted 12/23/16) first visit to the local dog park. Taken off her leash after this pic. Big day because she was a “No other dogs” label, and was perfectly fine as she ran and played with her five new friends! She’s come a long way and is a sweetheart!”

Timber FKA Clover (Louise’s pup)

#gallery-8 margin: auto; #gallery-8 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-8 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-8 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“We are definitely enjoying every day with Timber (formerly Clover). He loves running around outside playing ball, just as long as his sidekick, our 6 year old son, is playing with him. Otherwise he sits and waits for him at the patio door. We had Timber at the vet for his check up Monday where he weighed in at 102.5 lbs. He’s our big mush ball and we wouldn’t change him for the world! “

Kai FKA Daisy (Louise’s pup)

Kai FKA Daisy

“She really is… such a great dog and friend. Thank you for allowing us to adopt her… Kai is smart dog. I trained her in two days on electric fence long ago, she runs all over the yard, loves to chase birds and play with my Norwich Terrier, Chase. I recently bought her a Whistle 3 GPS tracker for fun, and it tracks her activity and level of intensity.. Its like a fitbit for dogs in some ways but keeps track of her anywhere she is located. No chance she would leave the yard but I wanted it anyway.

I hope all her siblings are enjoying life and Mom Louise is doing great too.”

Sampson FKA Sebastian (Thelma’s pup; also Louise’s granddog)

#gallery-9 margin: auto; #gallery-9 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-9 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-9 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Enclosed are a couple of pics of Sampson (you guys called him Sebastian) he is so wonderful !!! I was wondering, when we chose him he had a brother. I was wondering if we can get in touch with his owners and possibly exchange photos, I am so curious to see what he looks like :)”

Leo FKA DaVinci (Thelma’s pup; also Louise’s granddog)

#gallery-10 margin: auto; #gallery-10 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-10 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-10 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Leo (DaVinci) is doing great! I have attached some update photos 🙂 “
