#but now that she is an old dog

[barbwalken]

Heeelp babey is sleeping on my lap and now i can't moveee

#tita has alwas been a lazy dog #but now that she is an old dog #she sleeps all day #and she doesn't come to the door when i come home from work 😔 #she stoped doing it like 2 weeks ago #and it seems she forgot the layout of the house #because she takes longer to move from one place to another

This face is the reason he’s spoiled.

#dogblr #alaskan malamute #dog #canine #slash #dog photography #also my breeder posted a video of slash’s mom #now 10.5 years old and a house dog #and damn she moves like a lot younger than her age #like most of my breeder’s dogs and it just reminds me #how much active years I have left with my current crew #meanwhile other sports people see their 6 year olds on the way out #mushing isn’t like this

PSA, keep your dog on a leash when you're in a public, unfenced area. dedicated to the lady that just tried to reassure me, "no she's nice! put your dog down! she's nice!" babe i believe you when you say your dog is nice. what you have not considered is that the dog I am holding is NOT nice and WILL attempt to attack your dog if I put him down. also we are RIGHT next to a busy road and there is Nothing stopping your dog from running into traffic. pls put her on a leash im literally begging you it is SO dangerous for her to not be on a leash here

#rye.txt #the dog I was walking is my grandma's dog and #for the first 10 years of his life #he was NEVER around other dogs or socialized with them #he is CRAZY reactive but it's never been a problem because I keep him on a short leash+harness so there's no chance of him #slipping out and charging at another dog #bUT THAT DOESNT HELP WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A DOG THATS NOT ON A LEASH AND SPRINTS DIRECTLY AT YOU #im lucky he wears a harness for walks because I was able to just snatch him up directly with the leash #and then spent a solid two minutes dodging the excited dog with her owner going 'put your dog down! she's nice! put him down!' #trying to explain to this woman that I cannot in fact put him down because he WILL start a fight with your dog #it literally took several minutes before the woman realized I was saying 'yes your dog might be nice but MINE ISNT' #'NOW PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT HER ON A LEASH' #augh im so frustrated. like I get what she was saying. she was trying to diffuse the situation like #the dogs just need to get acquainted and then they'll play #but like. GIRL. you are at least in your mid 40s you should be old enough to be able to listen when people tell you that a situation is bad

I don't think I've ever mentioned it before, so I feel as though you should all know that in this au Pearl is living with Bigb, and that his house is on the edge of the town, near a grove where Tilly stays.

She didn't really have anywhere to stay when she reunited with Grian. She was very used to being on the move all the time, sleeping anywhere that would take her for a night or two, so it was weird and unfamiliar having to find somewhere more permanent to settle down.

Bigb was the quickest to offer her a place to stay, and he didn't mind that she was rarely home due to her work, because he is also a very busy person who is rarely home. He gave her a room and an open invite, and he lets her come and go as she pleases.

They've been living together nearly 10 years now.

#GG rivals au #pearlescentmoon #bigbst4tz2 #bigb #nosy neighbors #life series #pearl has many many people who love her so so much in this au #but she fails to realize it because she's so afraid #Pearl used to take Tilly with her on jobs but she's on the older side now so she leaves her with Bigb when she goes out of town #and he gladly takes care of the old dog

i think the adult relationship to the childhood dog is something that is so tender and heart-wrenching and important. you are the last vestige of my childhood. you are the sacred keeper of the memories i hold dearest, but you can barely see or hear me anymore. who do i become once you’re gone? where do i turn to remember myself? you’re the last one sitting next to me at the door of a childhood home that no longer exists, waiting patiently for the return of a family that no longer exists. where can i live when you, too, no longer exist? i can’t let go. please don’t make me let go. i know you’ll leave soon. i wish you didn’t have to. but she’s just a dog. her life is short and i will witness her death and i’ve known this from the beginning. i didn’t think it would come so fast. am i ready? have i become someone yet? have i become unrecognizable to her yet? does she still see the child i was? i’m still the child i was. please, don’t forget the child i was. please don’t take her away from me.

#i wrote this and put it in my drafts a few months ago #and now my childhood dog just died and im a complete fucking mess and i keep coming back to this #she was my baby #i got her as a birthday present from my parents #only a couple months before everything fell apart #i didnt know what was going on at home was abuse or that things were bad or that thwy would change #i just knew that my parents got me a puppy so i must be the luckiest girl in the world #and she was with us through all of it #and she knew our pain too #he was the one who wanted to put her in a shock collar #we all cried and begged him not to #she was just as traumatized by him as the rest of us #she was the last thread tying me to a time before i understood how bad things were #i don’t know who to be now #im sorry this is sooooo dramatic #i just loved my puppy #but she was 14 years old and we knew it was coming #i just hoped we’d have her for christmas

Local dog trainer A: "Treats are a plague upon dog training. A dog should work for his master's approval. Only through obedience can joy be achieved."

Local dog trainer B, 40yrs out of military dog handling/honorary GSD club member/working dog trial judge: *empties his pocketfuls of sausage bits into Troj's face* WHAT A FUN LITTLE DOG!!

Leia got a new collar with little cream shibas on it!

#leia organa #shiba inu #puppy #dog #smiley baby #collar #ohashii #I really like all of her stuff so if you’re looking for some really high quality Japanese collars I def recommend her shop! #Pippa likes to play by grabbing collars so Leia’s old one was literally hanging by a thread #look how cute she is #this is now one of my favorite pics of her #I wish I had a better background but this is the only spot of my house not blanketed in dog hair right now #blow out season is real man

I’m in a phase of perceiving Hallow that I’m calling the “geriatric baby” phase. I’ve now had Hallow longer than I had Hank or Jackalope and I can tell that my relatively brief time with them seriously altered my subconscious expectations of what time I think I will have with Hallow. I know she’s a very young dog- she’s just now the age that Hank and Jack were when I met them- but she also feels ancient to me.

The feeling will pass, probably. It’s just weird right now.

#this also makes me so curious of what life was like for Hank and Jack before I had them because wow three years can feel like a lifetime #in fact it was half of theirs! #I think this feeling is intensified by the fact that in the last six months hallow has really… felt more mature #I wouldn’t say she’s slowed down as much as her energy is just directed now #she’s not a serious dog but she plays less and is generally more serious about some things #and I know it’s a very normal part of her being an adult dog #but the weird part of my brain is telling me ‘it’s because you’re at your time limit with her and she’s old now!’ #it’s very silly

learned a very valuable lesson today

#for each DICKHEAD you encounter there will always be a kind person waiting for you :) #i was flabbergasted that everyone had decided to be an asshole towards me. a stranger #first scenario: i was in the train watching my phone and this older guy comes up to me and starts going off on a 'kids these days!!' rant #he basically told me that i was BEGGING to get my ass beaten and my phone stolen and he wouldnt come console me when i cried abt it #me being used to this treatment from my grandma i just went ok. and put my phone away #and obviously that pissed the guy even more so he continued to rant until it was his stop #i wasnt too pissed because i was going to HAVE A BURGER!! but still. what?? #so i went to get that burger and wait for my mom so we can go to the farm #and the burger guy was extra niceys to me :) we joked around and stuff #AND THEN. scenario number two #i had my delicious burger and i was looking for a table when i saw two ladies sitting with and empty table next to them #and so i went! i was just about to sit down when a random lady SNATCHES the chair i was about to use #i was like WTF??? #the two old ladies saw this and instantly went like wtf are you ok??? and starting having a go at the random woman #she ofc in good karen fashion didnt care. so the ladies let me have one of the chairs so i could sit next to them #the woman decided to sit right in front of us and so we started shit talking her between us. it was very fun tbh #i was genuinely bummed at these interactions till i realized that there were lots of strangers that were niceys to me #and have me extra ketchup #anyway!! im off to see my dog now #love u

Miss old lady Sadie went night night last night. I’m glad I had 15 wonderful years with her.

#old lady sadie #death mention #animal death #i told sam shes the big dog now and she looked overwhelmed #but at least she'll be keeping mom company #thats really what im worried about #anyhow #give your pets some extra kisses today #sadie would always sniff and lick whatever you held up to her #if it got a lick it was a Seal Of Approval #i got one last one from her yesterday and it was fitting

I told you it wouldn’t just be satosugu next time I posted jjk furries. This time there are even more gay people :)

#alternate caption: it may be a fix-it au but I can’t painlessly un-doom the doomed yaoi. they got back together so it’s fine though :) #zoracontent #zora arts #jjk furries #also yaay now I get to reveal more guys species :D #Yuji is a dog! I know tiger is most people’s obvious pick but he is SO puppy dog. also sukunas a tiger and I wanted them to be different #no specific specie for him btw I think he’s a mutt. he’s one of the few I have ref sheets made for. you might see some of those soon #Megumi is a wolfdog!!! yes I know I know he is very cat. but consider: I can make him look like his dogs. and also it makes him look like #gojos son. it’s great. his sister is also a wolfdog but I think she’s gonna look more dog than wolf. Megumi is definitely more leaning wolf #tojis a wolf they get it from their old man 👍 #nobara is a fox :) no real explanation here she just feels like a fox #I may have also just. wanted someone to be a fox. hehe. same with wanting a bunny which leads us into #mimiko and nanako are bunnies! I genuinely have no basis for this I just felt like it. it’s my self indulgent furry fix-it au ok #also i hope yall appreciate me editing in the text here because it was completely illegible in my handwriting <3 #once again not tagging. if you get here from me saying names while talking in the tags hiiii please enjoy my furries

Look at her!!! She's a bit roughed up, her shell is warped so it doesn't close properly, and she doesn't have her katanas (but came with a different one?). But I don't care, she's perfect so everyone needs to look at her!

#she was an early christmas gift #best christmas ever #and its november lol #fuck im so happy right now #i havent been able to stop happy stimming since i first saw her #its like being reunited with an old friend #ive wanted this since i was a little kid #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #leonardo #trans leonardo #i always use she her pronouns for 2012 leo #transfem leonardo #leonardo hamato #toys #collosel leonardo #tmnt leonardo #wrensposts #wrentalkssometimes #dog #merch

I'm torn between thinking that Lucy is low-key psychic and her general 'sensitivity' is her sensing a disturbance in the Force, and thinking that if the old dude I'd been regularly chatting to was found dead by a broken neck on my favourite bench that very morning, I'd be freaked out too.

#dracula daily #august 10 #Mina is funny because she's observant but so steadfastly practical she does not realise she is in a horror novel #“So sad that old man died” #“lovely funeral for the mysterious boat captain” #“I hope Lucy doesn't get too many nightmares from seeing that possessed dog” #like she misses Jonathan but she's not having ominous nightmares about him (yet?) #Lucy would have had about six full premonitions by now #Maybe Lucy already has and she just doesn't remember them #She and Jonathan probably first met at the Gothic Heroine Support Group and she set him up with Mina

day 124

aint that just the way though huh

#year 4 #it me #short version my grandma went to the er last week bc she was feeling ill #suspected it to be some long covid side effects. they put her on fluids & nutrition for most of the week #saturday she was scheduled to go home #mere hours before her discharge she fell and broke her hip #so she had surgery to repair it the following day #but post op she couldnt bear to eat anything and was very tired #so they did more tests #turns out shes like. terminally ill #in a kind of vague and nonspecific way related to being Just Very Old And Frail #but there is very definitely some stuff going on inside her that WILL eventually kill her #we just dont know when exactly #but we though maybe itd be sometime this week #but today she seemed to be rallying so now we are like #okay well do we send her to rehab for her hip or does she need to stay in like a more robust care facility #and its simply a whole thing #and we would really like for her to be able to go home before she dies so she can have unlimited access to her dog #who she loves very much and who is not allowed in the hospital #idk it is just ROUGH. not unexpected but on top of the other shit that has happened this year? #my aunt recovering from brain surgery still #my dog being very old and fragile #my fucking hamster died #its just a lot!!! #cw death #cw pet death #cw animal death #cw terminal illness #day 124
