sillies beget sillies enrichment idea #14
goal: be silly with your dog and create more moments of connection in your day
disclaimer: idk your dog so adjust or skip this game accordingly
activity: while your dog is not actively engaged with you, look their way and give them increasingly ridiculous compliments in an engaging voice without calling them over to you directly. see how many compliments it takes to get them to come over and love on you.
tip: you can use an increasingly inviting voice if it takes them some time to engage. use soft eye contact when youre looking at them to avoid putting too much pressure on them engaging. if they don't want to engage, just finish listing your compliments and disengage.
goal: this one is particularly great for you as a person because it tricks you into thinking about all the things you like about your dog. building connection goes both ways!
#dogblr#sillies beget sillies series#dog training#dog enrichment#i use this one when we're having a quiet evening watching tv#i have two couches and sometimes i want to convince rory to come hang out on my couch#so ill tell her all the things i like about her#it takes 3 or 4 compliments for her to come over to snuggle

Bless this tiny creature and her adaptability.
#also bless all of the training we've done#I'm not super mobile rn so our 'training' today was just asking her to do distance behaviours with verbal cues as I sat on the couch#it took me twelve years to make it out of the building (3rd floor walkup ✌) and pig did the most obnoxious heeling#she made it very clear she was there AND she was paying so much attention#she was ready to do so many behaviours#unfortunately those behaviours were walking a snails pace for 1/4 of a block#but hey#I made it out of the house and pichael didn't attempt to kill me on the stairs#also!!! baby dog got her champion certificate she's official#turnpike

you've heard of hot hands/cold hands and gives pickles/takes pickles. well this weekend i discovered a third form of Friendship Symbiosis: wants dog attention/Does Not Want Dog Attention. brought to you by me and my friend couch surfing together and him being grateful to me for keeping the (biggish) dog off of his air mattress and me being grateful to him for Letting Me Have Dog Friend On Couch With Me All Night :D
...it should be noted that this does not work with cats bc given the choice between someone who wants their attention and someone who doesn't cats will pick the one who doesn't want them every time. cats have eight senses and one of them is 'who least wants me on their lap rn'
#about the possum#Friendship Equilibrium#i am not a big dog person but pete the pitbull is. perhaps the perfect dog#very sweet. unusually courteous couch-sharer i would say. softer than other pitties ive petted??#and also the absolute PRETTIEST coat pattern i have ever seen in my whole life. unreal creature. im obsessed with him#we were in nyc for mocca fest and stayed with one of his friends. it was amazing but also its TRAGIC bc that means pete is SO FAR FROM ME 😭#chillest prettiest dog. 3 to 4 hours of inconsistently-accessible trains between him and me at all times. im in hell#THAT SAID they have monthly life drawing classes at pete's apartment and i am going to try so hard to go#40% bc i love and miss life drawing and 60% bc Pete

DAZAI'S EYES BUT WHEN THEY'RE NOT COMPLETELY BLACK WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS
part 4? I think
There was none in volume for so I'm skipping to volume 5 (should I get every Zai panel in general too?? Might do that if ppl want it)
VOLUME 5 !!
Chapter 19 is the only relevant one in volume 5 apparently (also the last 2 might js be highlights)
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#dazai osamu#Dazai's eyes but when they're not completely black with the highlights#Might actually get all the Dazai panels in my free time#I'll probably be in bed when this posts#I'm done with these 4 today I'll post more when I'm on the train tmrw#dazai's eyes when they're not completely black with the highlights

bad dream still haunting me :((
#cw death and animal death i guess for the tags#but it was like a survival drama set on a boat but also a cop show and in this world there were also magic spells or smth that people could#use to make animals speak so if a dog witnessed a crime we were trained to hunt it down and kill it so it couldn't talk#oh yeah i was one of the cops and we were like an actual street gang basically#so the boat landed and the puppy that was on it escaped so i chased it all around and tried to kill it at a distance but eventually i just#cornered it and had to stab it like that#after which it got lighter and basically turned into a plushie i think but still#ouch#also at one point there was a person in our group who was on some sort of cpr device that needed someone to press a button over and over#to do the breathing but i was supposed to do it 4 times then stop and let the liquid at the bottom almost get up to the tube to her lungs#before doing it 4 times again and it was so fucking stressful and everyone was acting like it was all okay and i was like guyssss#this is so hard can we please celebrate after shes stabilized????#so. yeah

The fact that we have the best behaved dog in the neighborhood will never cease to both make me laugh and astound me.
#like he’s not the best boy but also#direct neighbors have dogs with an aggression problem to where they can’t be on the same floor of the house together#that’s actually a genetic/neurological problem but still#neighbors on the other side of them have four (4) dogs with varying degrees of behavioral issues#that are outside all day and bark at anything that moves#they also escape the yard constantly#new neighbors just moved in across the street with a dog that sounds like he will break down the fence and eat whatever’s passing by#it’s the Wild West out here#if I were still doing dog training I’d start dropping my business card in mailboxes

I think a good idea for a DP rewrite AU would be changing Paul so that instead of being an outright abusive asshole who knowingly hurts his Pokémon, he’s like that one dog owner who thinks that Cesar Millan has genuinely good advice and he isn’t just a sociopath who chokeslams anxious dogs.
#Based on my personal experiences as a dog owner who has ended up training other people’s dogs for them because they’re bad at it#When I was 15 I had to teach my mother’s friend’s Doberman how to walk on a leash because she had no idea how dogs work#The dog was an angel with me but a Hot Fucking Mess around her and her kids because they were all completely nuts#Dogs evolved to absorb human emotions so whenever you show signs of aggression like yelling at them or pinning them to the ground#They panic because you’re clearly not acting okay or normal around them. You are stressed and they are stressed by proxy.#Fear based “training” just escalates an already bad situation with a nervous dog and eventually it will reach a breaking point.#Anyways I was prompted to write this because I finally met the dog of this girl who was up her own ass about how good a dog trainer she was#The dog was barking and snapping due to anxiety so she pinned the dog to the ground and kept manhandling and wrestling with her#The aforementioned dog was a tiny Pomeranian. You Can’t Fucking Do That.#This is my way of coping because I told her to cut the violence and she said I was an incompetent dog trainer who got lucky with my dogs#Writing fanfiction is how I keep myself from stabbing people who piss me off in real life.#pokémon#pokemon anime#pokemon#pokeani#my fucking shit#paul pokemon#tw animal abuse#Pokémon Gen 4

My dog has been having senior moments, such as randomly forgetting what she's doing or trying to walk into a street, and I've been calling her "Mr. President" when it happens.
Like, "No, Mr. President, we can't walk into oncoming traffic. That's how we get killed!"
#it makes me sad that she's so old. and it's only in the past couple months that she's been doing this.#she's still overall very physically healthy. we go on walks almost every day and as long as she wants to.#and she eats well and takes vitamins and her teeth are kept clean and her claws trimmed and her coat clean#but she's slipping a little mentally#she's 11 which is old as hell for a dog her size. the vet said golden retriever mixes (which is what i assume she is) usually live to 10.#and she's not even started going white too much. just around her snoot and a little on her paws.#so when i take her in the vet always assumes she's like 6#but I've had this crusty old lady since shortly before i was even legally an adult#and I'm scared for when she does die because my other dog dying damn near made me commit suicide#and like I've said. I've had her a lot longer.#if she were a person she'd be going into middle school. like.#and she's had her share of weird health things. she's had a thyroid issue since she was 4. she has a weird skin condition.#she's had a couple surgeries and has scars from being attacked by random dogs (not my fault. she's well trained)#she's fallen a couple times recently but the vet says that's normal for her age#she went blind then wasn't blind and is going blind again#her hearing is starting to get shit too#I'm just so worried about her. this dog is a person to me. she's more real than my family in my mind.#and my cat is cool and all. but she's not a people. she's just a cat.#i guess the best i can hope for her is she lives the rest of her life comfortably and can die peacefully in her sleep#i think I'd completely come unglued from reality if i lost another dog to surprise everything cancer#but that's what I'm most scared of#because it came on so quickly and no one caught it despite me being that person who takes their dogs to the vet over a cough#she's sleeping right now and making goofy ass dog dream sounds. and i know i won't hear that any more sometime soon.#dog#old dog#senior dog#clio#joe biden mention

recently ive been getting really sick of my neighbors i wish that i had a bunch of money so that i could buy up their houses and only let people i live live near me
#neighbors 1 used to be friends but theyre trumpies and also neglect and borderline abuse their dog#i like river hes not a bad dog but hes not trained well and is a very large and powerful dog and really really wants to kill my cats#and they just let him loose wander in the road wander into other peoples yards and hes trapped me and my mom outside because#he tries to force his way into our house if we try to go back inside of our house and i kinda dont want my cats guts splattered everywhere#neighbors 2 have a fenced in yard with a lab and a husky that they leave outside all of the time in their yard#as far as i know they dont have a dog house or even food and water out there and absolutely no toys and the dogs bark constntly#probably because theyre so bored outside in the hot weather usually without shade and no entertainment they bark at each other#or anyone in the yards of the neighboring houses or they bark at the door begging to be let back inside or bark at the windows#and theyre patriots too they got one of those huge skeletons last halloween and theyve kept it up ever since changing out the spotlight#for holidays which initially i really liked i thought it was funny but then for memorialday/july 4th they dressed in patriotically#and i hate america so . i hate them and how they neglect their dogs#neighbors 3 they are related to the one good neighbor BUT. theyre married (?) and they scream at each other arguing all of the time and#because of the geography of where we live it echos right to our house very loudly and it gives me anxiety and they have a kid or kids#who sometimes cry loudly because they scream yell at each other loudly i kinda hope they (not the kids) go to hell#neighbors 4 i . im not sure if theyre newer here but they also have dogs but so far theyve kept them on leashes i think?#except for that one time where their dog just. walked up to me. idk if they let the dog loose on purpose or if it was accidental#but recently me and my mom were outside messing with the garden and They are also a couple and were screaming at each other#also ! i love straight people 😍 please breakup or get a divorce or move away or go to hell youre fucking crazy people go to therapy#and then theres the people on super loud motorcycles or in super loud cars and then theres the other neighbors with the isra hell flag#and the other neighbors that i SUPER SUPER SUPER HATE and have hated for YEARS ecause i went to school with one and hes#racist as fuck i hope he dies or something. and because of them we dont even go down the road that way#they have free roaming animals that would go into the road and they run some ? atv repair or something out of their house and sometimes#completely occupy the whole road loading shit or something. like if you want stereotypical redneck assholes its them#and i hate all of these people so much. mutuals you should live here instead of them. its the blue ridge mountains its higher altitude#its pretty but sometimes it rains and causes something of a 'creek' to flow but were on a mountain so it flows down and away#and well sometimes the sewer smells really bad for some reason idk but like . its fine dont worry about it#and bears might drag your trashcans up the mountain but just dont leave food outside and they wont do that#we have a . shockingly beautiful ?? dumpster on the road too so its okay 👍#dear lird i just scrolled up and thats a lot of words . o well

I'll never stop thinking about vampire Kuvira and werewolf Baatar like it's just so correct.
#LoK Thoughts#[ I started art of this forever ago and never finished any of it but I still think about it#shout out to the single fanfic I know of that is about this becaude finding that made me feel so validated lol#Baatar really is just big angry pubby#i had a whole World of Darkness AU going centered around this sobs#iirc there may be a single post somewhere here of Baatar Bolin and Mako as werewolves#Korra would have also been a werewolf#and Kuvira and Asami were vampires#I promise the ratio was more even with some other characters#I am just simply a dog person and I love my dog boys lol#Mako was almost a vampire but the thought of him and Bolin as puppies hit me with the force of a freight train#and Korra as a werewolf was too good of an opportunity to give her a really pretty blue merle coat#I miss that AU imagine if I made them all in the sims 4 lolol ]

#she also knows get down for when shes climbing things she shouldnt (me) (counters)#like idk maybe its bc ive lived w dogs all my life but yall w ur misbehaving asshole cats and excusing it like oh thats just how cats are!!!#no u let ur cat do whatever they want and now they cant inhabit the same space as u without trying to steal food#my cats not even a kitten i adopted her when she was 3 years old so ik yall are just too lazy to do anything.#if ur cats NOT an asshole then this isnt abt them but like some of yall rlly need to include some structure of training 4 them#my cat has noooo interest in human food bc i NEVER offer it to her and its literally great#my dog would ALSO never steal food (unless its meat and its at face level for her bc thats my fault shes still a carnivore hunter)#BUT EVEN THEN SHE NEVER EVEN TRIED TO TAKE ANYTHING IF I WAS NEARBY?? yall just LAZY#ur pets walk all over u and they hold no respect for u. ur an irresponsible owner if u cannot do so little as keep ur pet out of human food#my roommates cat is a DICK ik hes fed him human food b4 and now he literally twars thru the trash to get more of it#JUST DONT DO IT!!!

We've officially reached the 'too demotivated and drained to bother to go to class' part of the semester. Awesome
#if it wasn't for the strike I'd just go home on tuesday morning#because i don't want to miss too many korean sessions because we can't be absent more often than 4 times#but i don't plan on going to my monday and tuesday classes#and thursday is a holiday so that class is canceled and i am willing to miss wednesday's korean class if it means getting to#see my dog a day earlier#but alas i cannot#because no trains and shit#also my friend asked me if i wanted to join for drinks sometime this week(end) and i desperately need new friends#(i.e. i don't want to turn down invitations from people i don't hang out with often because i basically am getting#actively excluded from my other friends' activities (literally. if you don't want me around it's literally fine. just don't fucking act#like you do. i hate it here lmao)#no but that friend was like 'I'll always invite you' and damn i LOVE to hear it because the others apparently hate having me around#(again. fair enough. I'm not particularly outgoing or fun so i get it. i just don't want to make any effort there anymore so i kinda need#to make an effort with other people? because i really like her and all but i also don't feel like going out#and would much rather go home see my dogs- but if i turn down too many invitations she'll stop inviting me#which is only logical- idk i don't really want to have to have friends anymore#i just know life is better when i spend time with people sometimes and have someone to get through university hell with#anyway. i don't wanna go to class anymore and i really don't wanna do this degree anymore and i actually do not#want to go to korea but i have to because it's my only chance but it makes me want to kill myself but also not doing it would make me want#to kill myself so i don't really have anything going for me there#void screams

-->And the moment I arrived, THERE was the holiday overlay! Whew – so changing lots got the game to acknowledge the holiday. Still worrying, but at least my Sims could PARTICIPATE!
First things first, though – it was hot in Brindleton, so I had Smiler change into their hot weather wear (as Alice and Victor had already done so – vampires are immune to temperature, so they don’t automatically change, which can be a little annoying sometimes), then start looking around for a good spot for the food stand while Victor felt the love with Shadow and Alice signed up Surprise to be cured of her affliction. I finally got Smiler to put the stand in a good location as Alice and Surprise waited for the vet, made sure it was stocked, and prepared to start a food sale –
Only for the game to tell me it couldn’t have “two social events” going on at the same time. Hmmm. All right, I was game to wait until after Surprise was cured. I instead had Smiler entertain Kelly with a laser pointer to pass the time –
-->And decided, “you know what, Victor’s Pet Training skill is almost up to Level 4, meaning leveling it up would count toward New Skill Day – why not train Shadow to heel?” So that’s exactly what he did, getting the dog to follow him around outside the hospital. Shadow was – a BIT distracted by her own tail at first, but as time went on she got better at keeping pace with Victor. XD I then checked in on how things were going with Surprise’s examination...
Only to discover they weren’t. For some reason, midway through the exam, the vet just stopped what she was doing, and Surprise was let go without anyone even trying to diagnose what was wrong with her. >( Damn glitchy game...I instead decided to have Alice get Shock spayed instead and see what happened there – fortunately THAT worked, and it went a lot faster too. Maybe because both vets were awake and working this time, instead of one sleeping on the waiting room couch. XD (Seriously, that ALWAYS seems to happen when I first load into the lot for some reason...) Alice was starting to get twitchy from being around all those strangers, though, so I had Smiler sign Surprise up for examination number two and let her clear her head by running off to a far-away dig site to see what was inside. Ended up digging up a new fossil rock with a fossilized egg inside, nice. :) She then went and entertained poor coned Shock with some laser pointer in the vet’s back yard while Smiler chatted with Brant Hecking inside the vet (learning he was a Personal Sports Trainer for The Other Sports Team, apparently) –
And Victor got Pet Training 4 from working with Shadow! :D One person’s New Skill Day skill down – two to go!
-->But first – finally getting Surprise cured! Yes, this time Surprise got checked over by the OTHER vet, who successfully determined she had Winterfest Fever. Smiler paid the big bucks for the best treatment (as I say so often, my Sims can afford it), and the cat was given a shot that brought her back to normal. I was very pleased with this, both because hooray, the vet lot decided to work –
#sims 4#the lazy save#victor van dort#alice liddell#smiler always#very relieved to see that holiday overlay pop up#New Skill Day is one of the better pop-up holidays#encourages your Sims to try new things#or improve old ones a bit#been meaning to improve Victor's pet-training skill#and now Shadow is better trained as well nice#always important that your dog knows how to heel!#also always important to get good vet techs at your clinic#dunno what happened with Surprise's first examination#maybe the tech was surprised by Alice's super-speeding in?#all I know is that it canceled out and poor Surprise had to wait around#until the other vet tech woke up and did her job#oh Sims 4 why are you like this XD#at least she got cured in the end!#and then immediately abandoned because the Sims had other things to do#on the other hand she's a Free Spirit so that's not so bad#but still#the vet tech at least could have stuck around#(Smiler was too busy getting told to do food-related things as you will see shortly)#queued

I so do not wanna house sit for these people ever again. "Our dog has been going to the bathroom inside, but it hasn't been a problem in a while!" They said like a lier. I've had to clean up after this dog so fucking much 😭 and I just fucking discovered at some point this dog pissed on a carpet and there is no one fucking carpet cleaner in this giant ass house 😭 I'm so not being paid enough for this
#40 dollars a day girl im doing way more then 4 hrs work each day#between the dog the chickens and the 3 horses#and 10 dollars an hour is so cheeping it 😭#helped a painter they hired move stuff from 1 hr 45 and got paid 50 bucks#fuck this#their fuckass dog also isn't leash trained all that well and has so many issues#had to fucking run around the outside of their house to open a locked door cause she wouldn't listen and walk back to the fucking front door#THEN i discovered the piss and realised there is no carpet cleaner in their house#AND to top it all of when i sent a text asking a question a few day ago i got no response#fuck this so much
