Enhancing Canine Well-being with Bully Sticks and Natural Dog Treats

In the realm of pet care, providing our furry companions with the best nutrition and treats is essential for their overall health and happiness. Among the myriad of options available, bully sticks for dogs and natural dog treats have gained immense popularity. These treats not only serve as delicious rewards but also contribute to the well-being of our canine friends. In this article, we will delve into the benefits of bully sticks, the importance of natural dog treats, and explore specific options like Canine Crinkles and dog training treats for puppies.

Bully Sticks for Dogs: Bully sticks, also known as pizzle sticks, are natural dog chews made from the pizzle (or penis) of bulls. While the source may seem unconventional, these treats are highly nutritious and offer numerous benefits for dogs. Bully sticks are rich in protein, low in fat, and free from artificial additives, making them a wholesome option for dogs of all sizes and breeds.

One of the key advantages of bully sticks is their dental benefits. Chewing on these sticks helps promote dental hygiene by reducing plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease, and keeping your dog's teeth clean. Additionally, the act of chewing provides mental stimulation, alleviating boredom and anxiety in dogs.

Buy Natural Dog Treats: When it comes to choosing treats for our dogs, opting for natural options is crucial. Natural dog treats, as opposed to those filled with artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, offer a more wholesome approach to canine nutrition. Natural treats are often made with simple, recognizable ingredients, ensuring that your dog receives the best quality snacks.

Natural dog treats come in a variety of flavors and textures, catering to the diverse preferences of our four-legged friends. Whether it's a crunchy biscuit or a chewy jerky, these treats are formulated to appeal to a dog's senses while providing nutritional benefits. When selecting natural treats, always check the ingredient list to ensure they align with your dog's dietary needs and restrictions.

Canine Crinkles Dog Treat: Canine Crinkles, a specific type of natural dog treat, have gained popularity for their unique texture and taste. These treats often incorporate a crinkly or crunchy element, providing dogs with a satisfying sensory experience. Canine Crinkles are typically made with high-quality, natural ingredients and are free from artificial additives.

The crinkly texture of these treats not only engages a dog's taste buds but also promotes dental health by encouraging chewing. Regular consumption of Canine Crinkles can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, contributing to overall oral hygiene.

Dog Training Treats for Puppies: Training puppies is a crucial aspect of canine care, and using the right treats can make the process more effective and enjoyable. Dog training treats for puppies are designed to be small, flavorful, and easy to consume quickly. This encourages positive behavior reinforcement during training sessions.

Look for training treats that are high in protein and low in calories to maintain a balanced diet for your puppy. Additionally, opt for treats with natural ingredients to ensure that your puppy receives the best nutritional value while learning new commands and behaviors.

Conclusion: In the world of canine care, choosing the right treats is paramount to promoting the health and happiness of our dogs. Bully sticks for dogs, natural dog treats like Canine Crinkles, and specifically formulated dog training treats for puppies offer a range of benefits, from dental health to positive behavior reinforcement. By incorporating these treats into your dog's routine, you not only provide them with delicious rewards but also contribute to their overall well-being. Always prioritize natural, high-quality options to ensure that your furry friend receives the best care possible.

Deerplay Concepts 🦌 @rottenlapdog This is inspired by your post.

Not personally a thing I'm into so I didn't know if there was an audience.

[Minors and ageless blogs will be blocked]

Anyway

Stuff:

Antlers

Smaller stumps during shedding seasons (Vulnerable time for deer since their antlers play as defence.)

Tails and Ears (If none are out there, custom made options can be great/or homemade).

Clothes in Browns and Whites. (Easy access pieces are fantastic for primal feeling more naked even with clothes on)

Collar that doesn't jingle/jingle too loud as to not startle deer or alert predators... unless 👀

If you like makeup that can be incorporated.

Grooming brush that feels good on skin.

Salt lick like @spiraledfaun said but if you don't want salt like that use sugar cubes as a version !!

Deer snacks/Variations of them if general inedible to people/your allergies.

Vibrator harness that keeps it on your deer while theyre in the yard. On and off at random until they bleat to come in and get some attention.

Genral:

Mating season/In Heat/Required Breeding for a farm

Petting, Playing, and Attention for any pet ofc.

Scratches that make them wiggle and make their tail twitch, and massages that make them let out precious little sounds.

Training!! Dont forget to train your deer of course. Help them not be as nervous around certain stimulus. Make sure it always know that even though it goes frolicking the woods, that it belongs to you.

An Example Deer if your poly can really help a younger more inexperienced deer learn how to behave.

Deer Fighting! Winner Tops!! Getting Stuck!!! (Someone finding you guys stuck? That anything?)

Wild Deerplay:

Caught in Deer Fencing in a... compromising position. A little cheesy but a bedframe or a chair also could play this out well and who doesn't like a bit of cheese now and then?

Nursed back to health and deciding to stay. (Fantasy novel style version where you wanna like, become their spouse cause once you're strong enough you have a human form.)

If you're willing to get erotic about a Wildlife Specialist who Drugs and Tags the Deer you can probably make a few good subtype scenarios. (Ex: Drugged them with heat enhancements for deer who are struggling for health reasons and now their presenting to you/trying to mount you like their life depends on it.)

Pet Deerplay:

Pet Deer, maybe pet show style, who gets pampered. bathed and brushed and all dressed up and spoiled for always winning with a good fuck.

Have a short version where the dom is the judge who also has to check fertility. How well can a trained deer stay on their harness while they're checked out for health!! Treats include: A Breeding, Loys of praise, First prize, and a very prowd owner who has lots of treats waiting after show!

Punishments for a home deer: Cuffed Antlers to something, exposed for whatever dom wants/ Boundary based shock collar so not woods time for a day or two. Maybe if there's two or more cuffing their Antlers as a pubishment for petty horn fights? "Wanna lock horns so bad, I'll keep hem that way."

Catmaid? Nope!! slap that maid dress on your local deer now!!

Primal Play:

Predator Animal (Wolf/Cougar/Mountain Lion/Werewolf/Werecat) hunting you down and instead of a killing bite, they leave a different kind of one. This one leaves the deer shaking and dizzy just long enough to be flipped over and explored.

Hunting Season Eroticism is something I've seen before, I think deerplay fits in it's framework. (No real deer will be harmed in the participation of this kink)

That also means threesome with a hunting dog that smells out the deer who maybe doesn't notice them even coming, running around looking for another deer to mate/be mated by... the hunter dog finds them first and by the time the hunter gets there 😳 oh my the dog and the deer are frolicking really close.

A waiting predator fattening you up after winter by eating deer competing for resources/bringing you stuff while asleep so hunting you in fall will be more rewarding

Ok! I’m the one that made the siren request! When I said hunting I meant like, giant whales and sharks

so reader brings the characters whales and sharks now that they are officially together

-Ask anyone about hunting and they will answer with things like deer, elk, moose, and ducks to name a few, that’s what (Love) thought about when someone asked him about what to hunt.

-When you started given him shells and other gifts, courting him, and after he accepted, you discussed hunting with him, as potential mates and partners would hunt for each other, to show that they are a provider.

-This made sense to him, finding it logical, as one wouldn’t want to be stuck with someone who didn’t provide or do anything to contribute to the relationship and you both agreed to go hunting and he would treat you to something called barbeque. You didn’t know what it was, but you saw the way his eyes lit up, so you knew it had to be something special.

-So that meant that you had to find him something super special!!

-When (Love) arrived at the beach and began to prepare a bonfire for the barbeque, dragging a buck behind him, he could only drop everything, gawking as you were beaming brightly, draped over the body of a massive, as in 16-foot-long, great white shark, the results of your own hunting trip.

-He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, approaching and you had bright sparkly eyes, seeing the buck, as you wanted to see what those strange things coming out of its head was.

-(Love) couldn’t help but laugh as he dragged the buck over and you both got to inspect each other’s kills, he looked in the mouth of the shark, seeing all the teeth, in awe, while you were stroking the antlers, finding them rough and they felt like nothing you had ever felt before!

-(Love) hesitated, not wanting to offend you, before asking about siren hunting, curious about the things that you normally hunted.

-You beamed brightly, telling him that your preferred prey items were crustaceans, as you loved crabs, and you liked larger fish with more meat, like tuna. However, there were certain things you didn’t hunt, dolphins, who actually were like dogs to you as dogs are to normal humans, and they help you hunt and turtles, because their taste wasn’t good, but you did scavenge, when the turtles passed away, their shells, as they were very beautiful and useful tools, and you did something similar to whales, scavenging for their bones, as they made strong weapons and tools.

-You made (Love) laugh when he asked if you ate whale meat and you made a face before you explained, “Whale meat is very fatty, as it’s very cold where they are. Most of their meat has a very thick layer of blubber over the top and if you cut that away, all that’s left is thin muscular meat that is very hard to chew, unless if you’re a shark.”

-He started the barbeque and you started breaking down your shark, pulling back the skin and getting to the meat as he told you about things that he hunted, like the buck and you were amazed at the diversity of game on the surface, to you at least since you were used to everything in the ocean, which was mundane to you but amazing to (Love).

-You were more elated to be gifted the antlers rather than the barbequed meat, holding them up and (Love) roared with laughter when he showed you that they floated, which would make them a little difficult to take down to your own home.

-You were both in awe of your different catches, the buck was lean but so flavorful, so unlike anything you had ever had before, “It’s a bit chewy but so juicy!” and he nodded, biting into a piece of grilled shark, “It looked fatty so I thought it was going to be greasy- but it’s not greasy at all- it’s almost like lean salmon!”

-The two of you enjoyed your meals, laughing and spending time with each other, having proved that you are both providers and it made you smile, thinking about what kind of father he would be in the future, but you weren’t going to rush anytime soon, at least just yet.

Part 14 of the poll story; choice D!

D) You try to beg for your life between sobbing.

“Please!  Creature!  Being!  Wh- Whatever you are!” you gasp, trying to hold back tears, “There has to be a better way!  I can keep a secret, I swear!”  One of his eyebrows raises confusedly.  “Creature?  My name’s Harneon…  Not that you’ll really need to know-”  “Harneon, then, please!  You don’t have to do this!”  He hesitates, expression creasing with concern.  However, moments later he shakes himself off like a dog shaking off water, then reaches for you.  

You scream and writhe as Harneon pinches you between a few fingers and hoists you into the air.  “No… no no no, stop!  STOP!”  He lifts you towards his head with his mouth partially open.  Tears threaten to spill from your eyes.  “Sorry little thing,” he tells you earnestly, his ears pulled back against the sides of his head in reluctance.  “I just don’t trust you kind anymore.”  The pressure of his fingers begins to increase and you let out a choking gasp as your midsection begins to get crushed against itself.  He’s doing what he’d suggested he do: put you out of your misery.

Suddenly, something rushes out of the woods towards the gigantic being.  At first you think it’s a person and you panic for them, knowing they'll end up in a similar fate.  “Stop!” a familiar voice calls, much louder than you've ever heard it.  “Put the human down!”  Thankfully, you're brought away from Harneon's mouth and back into his palm.  “Hmm?”  The being glances down, and from his hand you can see who stopped him and saved you from what was almost the end of you.   

It's Ralyr!  Only.. he’s a lot bigger.  He steps fearlessly up to the being who was about to eat you — as tall as a human.  You yelp as you're dragged downward through the air without warning when Harneon leans down to see him.  “Oh!” he gasps, “I’m sorry!  I didn't realize there was another-”  He calls Ralyr a string of syllables you can’t understand.  Some of them are spoken at such a low pitch that they're barely audible, causing your vision to spin nauseatingly and your hearing to get spotty.  

As Harneon returns to a normal human-sounding voice, you begin to understand him again.  “Is this your pet?” he asks Ralyr,  “If it isn't, would you like to split it with me?”  You shudder in Harneon's grip; images of you being torn apart and passed around like a treat flash through your mind.  “No!  It…” he hesitates uncertainly, “It's my pet.”  “Ah!  Probably shouldn't eat it then, huh?”  Harneon chuckles, releasing you onto the ground.   As quickly as you can, you try to regain your balance, stumbling towards the far more friendlier being.

You come to a sudden halt as you stand before Ralyr.  He's taller than you now — with a deer's legs and a little tail.  Like that alone, he stands almost a whole head taller than you, but his antlers made him that much taller.  And oh god, he was ripped.  You hadn't really noticed it when Ralyr was smaller, but looking at him now, if he'd showed up in your home like that instead of his tinier form, you would've been frightened of him.  

However, seeing you stumble fearfully in front of him, his angered face softens and he offers you a hand.  Taking it, he brings you protectively behind himself, putting himself between you and the gigantic being with a steely glare up at Harneon.  “Oh!  Hey now!  I- I didn't know it was yours!” he said, lifting his arms up harmlessly.  “I didn't actually eat it!”  Ralyr glances back at you worriedly.  “Are you alright?”

What do you reply? A) “H-He tried to eat me…” you whisper in horror.

B) “Do I look like I’m alright?!” you yelp.

C) “Thank you for saving me!  You came just in time!” you thank him.

D) “I.. think so.  He almost crushed me to death,” you tell him.

The Recondite Haesorog

My response to this week’s BestiaryPosting challenge from @maniculum

Now, I actually have a suspicion what this creature might be - I wasn't deliberately trying to work it out, but when I was throwing around concepts for the drawing, something clicked... If it is what I think it is, it's at the same time a really cool description, with some bits which are wildly out... I didn't pursue that particular line of thinking with my piece this week, but I'm going to be interested to see what this one turns out to be :D

Jinhao shark fountain pen with a fine, hooded nib, with Monteverde Raven Noir ink, over initial pencil sketch. I'm going to do some experimenting with the brush pen and the fude-nib in future pictures again; I appreciate the consistency of the lines that this pen is giving me, but I suspect those other pens would give a little more character to the lines.

As an aside, I'd genuinely encourage anyone looking at these challenges to give it a try; its given me a bit of focus to get back into something I used to enjoy, without too much pressure (both in terms of the time and also this mostly being about fun!)

As ever, reasoning under the cut…

"Ethiopia is the home of a creature called the Haesorog, as large as an ox, with the footprints of an ibis, branching horns, the head of a stag, the colouring of a bear and the same thick coat."

Okay! For such a short description, we've actually got a fairly good amount of detail. Of course, some of it doesn't really make sense together - bird feet with horns and a bear's thick coat? What could be going on here?

I figured that, rather than trying to work out something realistic, I'd actually treat the description at face value as much as possible. As such, we have an ox-sized, deer-headed creature with long, bird legs and feet, covered in shaggy hair! I actually tried to put a bit of deer anatomy into the legs, but they were primarily referenced from ibis photos - I'd set myself on that particular pose, but it was impossible to find a front-facing picture of an ibis with its leg raised (not perfect, but turned out better than I was fearing!)

The horns gave me cause for thought - horns don't tend to branch, but they're very distinct from antlers (antlers being bone, and shed yearly, while horns are covered in a keratin sheath which is not generally shed). In the end, and given the description of it having a deer's head, I went with antlers, specifically taking inspiration from the wapiti (American/Asian elk) and red deer for the grand, branching antlers rather than palmate antlers of the fallow deer I'm most familiar with. I did give them a little texture, as a nod to the horn though.

Charles Knight's Animal drawing was really useful here - the short essays in that book made me consider more carefully some aspects that I wouldn't have just looking at the drawings, including things like ear position, and the general vibe of the animals I was referencing.

Still experimenting with plants and trees for the background - some came out better than others, but I've learned a few more things from this about what does and doesn't work well!

I'm now kinda wishing I'd drawn a fuzzy horned dinosaur for this, but I'm still happy with the directionI went 😅🦖

"It is said that the Haesorog changes its appearance when it is afraid and, when it hides itself, takes on the likeness of whatever is near — a white stone or a green bush or whatever other shape it prefers."

Well, this is cool; an ox-sized animal that is also a master of disguise. You can see my nod to this in the background where a hunting party (plus dog) are walking straight past a Haesorog disguised as a tree...

I did a little look into medieval costume (and dog breeds) from Ethiopia; I know that this is a bit of a catchall term for Sub-Saharan Africa, but it gave me a place to start. Turns out that the figures were too tiny to put in any detail of the clothing (or to make the Ethiopian Highland Dog) distinct, but the history there is fascinating (including Ethiopian delegates to Florence in 1441 being frustrated about the Europeans constantly referring to their kind as 'Prester John' 😆

This seeming magical power of disguise also gave me a couple of extra influences in the style - the forest god from Princess Mononoke, and the goats from that film and from the Nausicaä manga. Not sure how much it came across!

[antlermoss]

@softandwigglybones Here's a rough first draft of my Actaeon! I might go back to it, might not. Have pity on me. It goes with this picture!

Violence, mentioned intimacy (nothing graphic), mild gore

It had been an accident, I had never meant any harm. Artemis was a dear friend of mine, the hand that guided my arrow as I hunted the wild beasts surrounding us.

It's easier to condemn a predator, I felt little pity for the wolves I'd slain. I assume those who hear my legend feel the same. They think the gods fickle, angry. I thought differently.

I came across while wandering the forest seeking time to myself. I suppose we have that in common, the forest is a fine place to seek peace. I had no bow, my dogs were at home. All I carried was the shattered remains of my heart.

Love is more fickle than any god, and lust so easily confused. I had been wrong, again. I should have expected as much, while it's fine for a man to take a male consort, a wife was expected. One wouldn't marry another man, so why love one?

Her arrow had pierced my chest before I even realized what I’d seen. I cried apologies as my fingers turned to hooves, pained tears staining my pelt. I shook as I groveled, my head heavy with an antler crown as a bowed to her, my eyes shut tight. I didn't open them until I felt her hand against my head, stroking between my antlers.

“I mistook you for someone else.” She said, but she never did apologize. Even then I kept my eyes shut tight until he raised my head and told me to open them.

She was beautiful as she always was, unashamed of her naked form and unafraid of a beast such as myself. She held my face with all the care I held my dogs, gentle and loving.

“You’ve hurt yourself again, Actaeon.” She told me. I sobbed as I looked up at her, my body changed, but my heart the same.

“You deserve to be wild, to be free. To love without care for what mankind thinks.” She told me. I thought perhaps then she had given me a gift.

“You’ll forget to be human with time.” She promised me. “I cannot give you the love you so crave, but I'll guard you until you find it. I will keep you from Hades, and I will push every arrow that aims towards you away. That I swear to you, my friend.” She smiled at me, and I felt my horns turn to gold.

I watched ages pass from the forest. Men knew of my attractions, time changes and they deemed me a pervert. They must have forgotten what drove them to that conclusion, I suppose that's what twisted me into Artemis’s enemy. I care little, the forest is more of a friend than they ever were.

Artemis, my beautiful goddess, has no control over the domain of love. She told me countless times before that I mustn’t give my body so easily, that they would treat me as a tool. She was right every time.

Animals are not so manipulative, and I still found no connection. I heard them whisper about me, how I hunted them once before, how Artemis favored me. They commented how I never slept, instead staring at the moon in prayer to my friend. I tried, countless times I tried, but every herd would run from me.

I forgot my name. The deer called me Stargazer, that was fine enough. They took note of how I didn't age, of how no matter what beast spotted me they would never kill me. Immortality was not nearly as attractive as humans may find. Generations forgot my history as many, but they never forgot my nature. To them, I was as monstrous as any hydra, some god tainted beast that to speak with may be heresy.

Gods seldom tolerate heresy.

I know not how many years passed, but countless moon phases did. Finally, my prayers were answered.

I found him standing in the middle of a field, staring into the forest. He didn't run when I approached, my head lowered. He didn't leave even when I was no more than a foot away.

“I mean you no harm.” I whispered to him. He did not speak, but he didn't look away either. His black eyes were like the night, staring into mine endlessly. I cried.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” I told him, afraid he would leave. He didn't.

“I.. It’s been so long since anyone would look at me. Even if you don't speak, it means the world to me that you're here.”

He didn't move, even as I hesitantly approached him and rested my head on his back.

I began to visit him each day, my nights spent praising Artemis by running in the field and staring at the moon. The other deer were disturbed, gave me an even wider birth, but I cared not. I finally had a companion.

I named him Idol, because that's how I felt about him. He never moved while I was there, but he would listen as I spoke with him. I told him all about my travels, the places I'd seen in my years. I told him about Artemis, how she visited me in my dreams and walked with me on moonlit nights.

Every so often he would disappear, and I would find him in a new location, smelling of gunpowder. I cried the first time it happened, so relieved to see him ok that I couldn't hold back my tears.

It was many moons before he spoke to me, his tongue twisted. He must have been ashamed.

“I love you.” He told me early one morning as I slept beside him, his voice echoing from the tree line.

“I love you too.” I responded, and I thanked the moon for ten nights straight.

On the tenth, Artemis visited. She held my face like she had so many years before and smiled at me.

“I have to go for a night or so, my huntresses need me. You will be without my protection, so please, be careful.” She warned me. I told her of course, it wasn't the first time she’d left me to my own devices.

Of course, that was the night the hunters came.

He spoke a lot that night.

“Do you want to make love?” He asked me. I stiffened, the hair on my pelt rising.

“Not particularly, no. Is that ok?” I asked him, staring up from the ground below.

He didn't move, he never did. “I love you.” Was his only response, unwavering.

“I love you too… thank you.” I smiled at him, feeling more loved than I ever had. The first gunshot missed us, and I leapt to my feet.

“We must go! Now!” I cried to him, starting to run. I made it to the tree line before I realized he wasn't moving.

I couldn't leave him, of course I couldn't, so I turned around. The next bullet missed me and struck him in the side. He fell to the ground. I grabbed at his leg, trying to pull him along, but he remained still as stone.

There was nothing to do but fight.

The third bullet struck me in the shoulder, but I saw the hunter in the gunfire. I charged him. He shot once, twice more before my antlers penetrated his chest.

My pelt was stained red, my chest heaving as I collapsed beside my lover, resting my head on his shoulder. I knew I would not die, Artemis promised me that, but I would suffer.

Artemis found me some days later, laboring to breathe in a pool of my own blood. It was the first time I'd seen her cry.

“Oh Actaeon, what have you done?” She called as she ran to me. I smiled at her.

“I.. I’m sorry goddess. I couldn't let them take him from me.” I told her. She only sobbed, holding me tightly.

“You foolish, foolish boy.” She cried. “You sacrifice yourself for a ruse. He’s not alive, he’s a target.”

Her words hurt more than the wounds. Much, much more.

“But.. he spoke to me. He said he loved me.”

“He didn't speak, Actaeon. It was man, mimicking your tongue. I'm so, so sorry.”

day 28 of martch - redraw old art

had this idea 4 years ago and now i have realized it lol. i put way too much thought into this so notes below

notes for designs i did while making this:

i wanted them all to have unique eye shapes instead of defaulting to how i draw eyes normally because animal crossing characters dont have uniform eyes lol

also i worried wayy too much about some of the species choices lol. like. do i make junko a bear because monokuma, or does that give the twist away? do i make everybody a different species, or do i double dip in a few places to make the twin twist less predictable? ultimately decided fuck it im not writing the game im drawing fanart i can do what i want

when i first came up with this idea i'd only fully decided on the species of 7 of the cast so here's my train of thought for why they are what they are:

yasuhiro- easiest out of the way first. there's nothing else he could be but a frog. decided to give him the weird facial hair animal crossing sometimes gives their characters because its not animal crossing without a couple ugly guys (affectionate)

hifumi- big guy. elephant. made sense. gave him some pink accents despite not thinking it worked all that well to get that animal crossing authenticity yknow lol. plus he likes some cutesy things so he can have some pink as a treat

sakura- felt bad about making her a gorilla ngl- especially since she is. one of the three characters in this game with a darker skin tone. but literally no other species made sense for her. and ngl there are like. no gorilla villagers i like. so i tried my best to make her look cool as hell

sayaka- cat villagers are super popular, so might as well make the ultimate pop idol one, right?

asahina- okay this comes from bias on my part but in my new horizons my default uchi villager was a rabbit and asahina would 100% be an uchi villager so bada bing bada boom. ended up making her coat more orange than it actually is cause i wanted her to be red and didnt want it to clash.

mondo- im going to be completely honest. when i thought of this i was just like "oh that makes sense i always associated mondo with tigers i dont remember why tho." and i just double checked and not only are they in his execution but he also has tiger underwear. so. this ones canon imo

ishimaru- once again, wolf villagers are popular, and just made sense for him. hes a loyal rules guy, and more edgy than a dog- plus, it gives him a cat and dog dynamic with mondo! this concludes everyone that i came up with their species 4 years ago, below is the ones i decided now

kyoko: i was between anteater and wolf for her, and since i decided not to double dip on species, i went with anteater. idk, anteater villagers always seem so aloof and strange to me, it's just her vibe.

junko & mukuro: i was between bear, cat, and rabbit for them, and once again, avoided double dipping. bear is pretty obvious, but cat was because once again, cat villagers are so popular, and rabbit was because of the irony. junko's ears are also supposed to mimic the little monokuma hair ties she has lol

celestia: i was between anteater and ostrich, and i'd already chosen kyoko as the anteater. i didn't even remember that the ostrich villager was called ostrich for a bit, i kept thinking of her as a peacock, but then realized that was perfect for her whole european thing lol.

toko: i was between cat and squirrel, and sayaka was cat. her just being such a small bitter little guy is fitting for her i think.

chihiro: i was between hamster, rabbit, and mouse, and rabbit was taken. i think i only went with mouse because i wanted to draw that head shape, but i did realize after that that means they and mondo are a cat and mouse lol

makoto: i was between deer and dog, and honestly it all came down to his ahoge. if there was a way to have antlers and an ahoge, i would have done so, but honestly it worked out for the best i think. having a dog and cat relationship with sayaka + komaru and toko being dog and squirrel just worked too well.

togami: i was between horse and eagle and this was one of the hardest decisions. ultimately went with eagle simply because i didnt want to draw an animal crossing horse. this did end up making the squirrel be obsessed with the eagle which i do love. i kept trying to work blue into his design but it just did not work at all.

leon: oh leon. the hardest one to choose. i had to save him for until id decided everyone else lol. i was between bull, eagle, and tiger, and went with bull bc of double dipping. all three suited him equally i think it was hard to choose. also coloring him was hard too lol

Here's some non-human Whumpees you can use

Vampires

Birds (any creatures with wings really)

Fish (creatures that live in water)

Dogs or Cats (housepets)

Bats

Spiders

Snakes

9 tail foxes

Raccoons or Squirrels

Deer or Buck

[Vampires] A Whumpee vampire being put outside in the sunlight as a form of punishment, and using it as a method to make Whumpee behave, "You wanna go outside, it's nice and sunny out~? No, that's what I thought."

Also Wumpee can be deprived of blood that they need. Them begging a Whumper's feet, asking, pleading for just a little bit of blood, it doesn't even need to be human blood. The just need some, any type of blood.

[Birds] A bird Whumpee having their wings clipped, so they can't try and fly away, or having their wings plucked and sold. (if their a rare bird)

Also being fed only stuff, like bird seed because, "You're just a stupid bird." Evan though they are a human/bird hybrid creature

[Fish] A bird Whumpee having their scales plucked off and sold, because they're valuable, or simply because Whumper finds it funny to do this "You don't really need these." or "I can put these to better use than you could ever."

Also being left out of water for long periods of time. Dehydrated and feeling like their drowning with the lack of water is pure torture to them, and pure bliss to Whumper who is doing this all.

[Dogs/Cats] A dog/cat Whumpee being treated like a housepet, only being let outside while being supervised, or to use the bathroom.

Only being fed pet food/treats and having a leash, collar, and kennel just ties it all together. Like if Whumpee miss behaves Whumper will put their collar on, or put them in the kennel.

[Bats] No context, I just really like the idea.

[Spiders] A spider Whumpee slowly loosing their legs as a punishment and since spiders grow their legs back, this won't be an issue, at least it won't be an issue for our dear, Whumper.

Also only being able to eat that of the diet of a normal spider, basically just bugs and spiders.

[Snakes] A snake Whumpee having their fangs painfully pulled out, or filed down so they're just like normal teeth because "It's too dangerous."

Also having to eat live, wild mice as their main source of protein and, or food in general.

[9 tail foxes] Just cut off all of their tails besides one, so they look more like an actaul fox.

[Raccoons/Squirrels] A raccoon or squirrel Whumpee left outside, whether it's over 100 degrees outside, or if it's less than 5 degrees.

Also the reason being "You're just a stupid animal and animals aren't meant to be inside."

[Deer/Buck] A deer and or buck Whumpee being told that if they keep acting the way they are, then they're going to end up loosing their antlers.

Also being told that if they act up, or Whumper doesn't want them anymore they'll just skin them, turn them into a rug, or turn them into a taxidermy head and Mount them onto the wall.

(this took around like 45 minutes to an hour)

BIRTHDAY??? BIRTHDAY!! Charlie zooms up to Calloway, holding a perfectly wrapped gift with a huge smile on her lips. "Happy birthday Cal!" She declares loudly, bouncing in place as she hands him the present. She's drawn a card as well- sporting a drawing of her and him holding hands with a heart between them and HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in bright, bold colourful text.

Inside the gift box was a number of gifts. A bag of treats all labelled for each of his pets- handmade dog and cat treats, some meat based treats for his more... ROWDY pets, and even a finger bought from Rosie for the worm! That was only part of her gift- the rest actually being FOR Cal.

A custom Furby, sporting a pair of red glasses and tiny deer antlers as well as a small microphone that mirrored Cal's own. Complete with a black ribbon bow wrapped around it's neck. Beside that was a completely black one, save for the bright, neon green eyes and green bow to match.

"Charlie! You got gifts for my pets? How thoughtful!"

But that's not all! The furbies are noticed and gasped at, with his shadow peering over his shoulder at the black and green one. "Well would you look at that! Cotton, here, this one is yours!"

It's taking the furby with an echoing little squeak of delight.

Holistic Arthritis Relief for Dogs

Arthritis is one of the most common health problems dogs grapple with, afflicting almost 20% of adult dogs. This number is incredible, and a very personal experience for any pet owner who has had to sit by and watch their little legend stiffen up due to joint pain. The good news? There are natural remedies to bring relief.

Enter: deer velvet and green-lipped mussel supplements. These two ingredients make waves in the world of canine health, which goes hand-in-hand with effective holistic arthritis relief.

Why Deer Velvet?

Deer velvet may sound a little exotic, but it’s actually one nature’s most potent treatments for canine joint health. Used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, it is filled with collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, not to mention a variety of other essential components to help the joints heal themselves and reduce inflammation.

As a matter of fact, studies have shown that deer velvet eases arthritis by improving cartilage function and increasing mobility in dogs, meaning fewer stiff mornings and more joyful moments of play. Isn’t that what every owner would want for their pet?

The most exciting part, however, is that deer velvet works on the very core of symptoms but supports regenerating cartilage and joint tissue. This regenerative capability inherent in the extract differentiates it from supplements available in the market, which merely offer symptomatic relief. By facilitating the body’s innate healing mechanisms, the benefits of deer velvet are long-standing. This isn’t about alleviating pain; this is real mending of the joints, cartilage and muscles

The Magic of Green-Lipped Mussel

If deer velvet addressed inflammation and supported cartilage repair, then green-lipped mussel takes it to the next level. Sourced from the pure waters of New Zealand, GLM contains omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and glycosaminoglycans-all so important for joint health.

Omega-3 fatty acids are especially effective in reducing inflammation, the usual culprit behind arthritis pain. Dogs given green-lipped mussel supplements tend to show a significant advancement in mobility, stiffness, and comfort levels. In fact, it was reported that dogs on supplementation with green-lipped mussel show an average of 35% improvement in symptoms within only six weeks of use.

But there is more to it: GLM also houses essential nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and selenium, which are known to have a general role in supporting the joints. That makes this an all-in-one supplement for any dog suffering from arthritis. It is not just about making him feel great today; it is about sustained relief and long-term joint health.

Deer Velvet and Green-Lipped Mussel: The Perfect Combination

Deer antler velvet and green-lipped mussel make for a holistic arthritis relief combination-a two-dimensional sort of attack on the problem. DV encourages the growth of cartilage and supports natural body healing processes. Green-lipped mussel has anti-inflammatory properties and supplies essential nutrients for continued joint well-being. Together, they offer a balanced approach to managing canine arthritis without the nasty side effects of prescription drugs.

This holistic combination not only relieves pain but also goes to the root of the problem, allowing your dog to have a quality life.

How to Incorporate These Supplements into Your Dog’s Diet

You may be asking yourself, “How do I get my dog started on these supplements?” Easier than you may think! Most of the deer velvet and green-lipped mussel supplements will be in either a powder or capsule form, which can easily be mixed with your dog’s regular meals. You may also find these in chew treats if your dog happens to be a finicky eater.

With time, you can begin to expect gradual improvements in your dog’s mobility, flexibility, and overall comfort. No cures by magic-but real, measurable progress. After a few weeks, that old spring in their step might just come back!

The Bottom Line

Arthritis relief can be holistic, and it doesn’t have to come from a cocktail of synthetic drugs. Deer velvet and green-lipped mussel provide for a powerful, natural solution to one of the most frustrating health issues dogs can face. With targeted action on inflammation, support of joint repair, and providing critical nutrients, these supplements can allow your dog to live life free of the constant pain from arthritis.

Want to make the switch? Adding deer velvet and green-lipped mussel to your canine’s routine may very well be the key to a pain-free future for the dear pal. It’s a simple step that could make all the difference.

It's OK to pass up an opportunity to spoil your dog.

I think a lot of my spoiling is as much out of love as it is for sad reasons. I think I'm trying to make up for all the times I should have cuddled my first dog more or given her more attention, treats and play time. Also, I feel like I need to hug my new dog, who spent the first part of her life as a stray, until all of the cold, rainy nights and bad memories melt away in my arms and love her more than any human has ever loved.

I've been pouring every waking moment and my heart and soul into caring for her but I think I need to take a step back and admit that there is such a thing as overdoing it.

For example, I ordered my dogs fallow deer antlers off of Etsy but they shipped from Poland to the US and when I opened the box a month later, there was a letter from US Fish and Wildlife stating I had violated the Endangered Species Act. 😦

Or a potential instance where my spoiling comes at a cost to them rather than myself like too many treats and they get an upset tummy and/or inflammation.

I have to try and accept that I'm already enough for them. I'm already a good dog mom and I don't need to try so impossibly hard.

KNiNoS. Nikas. era Perra y se llamaba...

My dog Bubba Wayne Sánchez went to K-9 University and Pet Smart schools in Chicago. We also hired different trainers to learn to train Bubba. Mac was a foster who came along years later, we cared for Mac who was given for adoption a couple of times but came back home due to a couple of of issues with his free spirit nature and the highways. He was maybe a little ferocious with a few, he was a very honest dog, low key. Loving but self sufficient, strong yet not nearly as imposing as Bubba's figure was. Don't get me wrong he was a sweetheart (I was never able to make him stop pretending he was going to take a bite out of the hand of a passer by just as he walked by with me pulling on the leash. I think he got a quick out it every time he saw people jump and hide heir hand.) My fiend Michael once described Mac as a conman, referring to the way Mac stayed with us after being foster at our home for little time. Stealing our hearts away. Bubba took the lead on everything. I used lots of play to feed Bubba and I used his food, no treats just his daily meals to train him, little bite after bite. He was a very food driven dog while Mac was not driven by food at all. He really could care less for food. Mac had more liberty because he didn't grow with the restrictions Bubba did while having lots of fun and getting love, giving love and wellness. While training Bubba I made sure I left room for Anarchy in him, later for them. Even though dogs are happier went they have a strong and Alpha Male figure just like any wolf pack would. They like routine but also enjoy learning with games. Mental challenges. With that tiny extra room for freedom they would just run fucking wild. Quite a few times they made me chase them for many blocks before stopping. They would pick a fight here and there.

Bubba love pig's ear. Mac preferred deer antlers. We were regulars at the city's dog parks and beaches and spent endless afternoons of sunshine, tenis balls, a slinger, a towel, water, treats. Once we were at the Montrose beach and Mac started running all along the shore, I was so embarrassed. I had to chase him and I had to carry him back to the Montrose beach. He always sat next to Bubba and with little time his stress levels had come down and he became a very calm and relaxed dog. I was happy when I got his adoption papers as a birthday gift. MacLoving Sánchez. I used to call him Mac. His previous name was Tucker which I used from time to time just to play him a joke most of the time. He was responsive. He was my Mac. A street smart refined dog. Bubba was displaced by Hurricane Katrina's most likely. We got him as a pup. He looked like a border collie as a young pup but later as an adult he took the form of a black lab with a white tie and two white front paws. Baby's pupils could not get as big as Mac's for sure. He just loved everything while Bubba loved to love what I loved. I'm making sense to you, page? Sounds clear to me. than. press send. and forget about it... (forget about it...)
