#Emotional Support Animal

[crazed-reader-writer]

Y'know, I see plenty of Bucky Barnes with a service dog. But it doesn't quite seem right to me.

Give me more Bucky with an accidental support cat.

Give me Bucky with a bleeding heart who is now free but doesn't know how to be good.

Give me Bucky who picks up a fluffy gray feral cat off of the street while taking a walk because he doesn't know what to do with himself anymore.

Give me Bucky who worries too much that he would forget to care for a dog when he has a PTSD episode but knows that this cat is scrappy enough to be okay.

Give me a cat who is angry at the world and will hiss at everyone who comes near, so Bucky knows its a hallucination if the cat keeps sleeping.

Give me a cat who reminds Bucky that he can be gentle again when it's a hot day and the best way to keep cool is to take a nap on a conveniently placed metal arm.

Give me a cat who just so happens to demand food at three in the morning while Bucky is having another nightmare.

Give me Bucky who can accept love again because he knows he earned it this time, because he knows that this cat wouldn't trust him without reason the way a dog would.

Give me a pair that have both seen hell and survived.

I'm really happy with my little steamless brush (arrived broken) for my kitty who hates slicker brushes and these dander reducing wipes for making me a little less allergic to my best buddy. He's not grooming himself quite as well as he did when he was younger, either, so I'm helping some spots along a little, and, as long as I don't restrain him and pair it with tons of pets and love, he's perfectly content to let me help. Enjoy some extra kitty pictures while I'm at it.

My emotional support bestie🖤🐈‍⬛

[scoriarose]

I redecorated my girls' enclosure, and while it can be fun to explore changes it can also be a bit scary!

Here's one of the times I was able to film Sakura following Scoria as they explore the changes in their enclosure. It really shows the relationship between the two. When something happens, Sakura immediately relies on Scoria and trusts her judgement. She'll regularly follow and copy her fearless sister, and have her back. After this she would go off and explore a little on her own, but every so often come back to check on her sister- Scoria is Sakura's barometer to knowing if things are safe or not.

Why would a deep clean and redecorating be scary? It's kind of like coming home and unexpectedly finding the rooms of your home totally different, like someone else moved in and redecorated. However I kept most hide locations the same, and their favorite tunnel locations the same. So that's kind of like going to your bedroom and it being the same, a familiar place your know and feel safe and at home.

Scoria uses me as a barometer to know if things are safe and she'll look to me for guidance- if I speak sweetly to her she knows things are safe and all worry is gone. The only problem after that is they stayed up long after their bed time because they kept wanting to play and explore! (Took me a bit longer to set up than I anticipated.)

lowkey really wanna get an emotional support animal for my ptsd

[kindaasrikal]

The ninja deserve emotional support animals except they’re them so none of them get a damn dog or something.

Zane has a penguin, he’s lovingly called zaneguin (real name: Peniuella, or Penny) (Penny gets along with Zane’s bird) (he rlly wanted a polar bear. Wu said no) (he waddles with the penguin, bro loves waddling.) (he once waddles over to some villains full penguin style as a on the spot distraction. Cole gave him a lecture about safety and being smart. Zane waddled away right after it was done.)

Kai has a parrot, bro loves his parrot (he’s called parry the parrot and he’s taught him how to scream FIYAAAAA) (Kai is usually the first ninja up for training, so he actually get his parrot to wake the others (Nya) up by putting Parry in their room and getting him to scream their elements.) (its become a common thing to hear ‘WATAHHHHH’ at 6am in the morning) (or ‘GREANNNNNNNN’ or maybe ‘ARTHHHHHH’ in a really deep voice. Cole had nightmares after hearing how deep Parry’s voice can get.)

Lloyd has a ferret, he’s just a ferret kinda guy. He also got a chinchilla soon after cause he got the dust for a dust bath, and then found out ferrets can’t have dust baths (he just wanted a lil guy to have a dust bath with.) (Yeah you heard me, Lloyd does dust baths. He likes the feeling of it.) (he rlly wanted to called his ferret ferry the ferret but Kai already took the joke, he called him Mr Ferrington instead.) (plus his Chinchilla is called Chilly, he loves dressing him up in mini versions of Zane’s gi because of it.)

Nya has two rats, she calls them her babies (don’t insult her rats, she will drown you.) (Jay named one Ratatouille, and as much as she hated the name she had no choice but to keep it, Jay would be sad if she didn’t.) (the other rat is called Rumphly. She thought it sounded sophisticated.) (she lets her rats burrow in her hair.) (she also has to protect everything she owns, her rats chew on everything and anything. Nothing is free from their menacing little mouths.)

Jay has a spider. He’s a lil weirdo like that (its a deadly spider) (he found it in his workshop) (it was 2:54 am and dark) (he almost died from the damn thing) (Pixal almost lost it when Jay literally clung to her begging her not to kill it-sorry, my mistake, her.) (he stays up late at night building stuff and chatting to her and she dances every time Jay goes on an excited ramble.)

Cole has a lizard, and it’s a Chameleon. He named her Lizzy (Kai calls her Queenie.) (he lowkey lost Lizzy on her first day and had a breakdown) (Jay said that defeated the purpose of an emotional support animal) (until at 11pm at night they found out Lizzy was just chilling in Cole’s hair and they just couldn’t tell) (everyone thought Cole was gonna be annoyed, but bro lowkey broke down again because he got emotional about how she clung to him the whole time.) (he got Lizzy because he missed Rocky) (I miss Rocky too)

Morro has a rabbit. Named Chompy (and they’re a ghost) (lowkey Morro has no idea what Chompy is, the lil brat just jumped onto him and went ‘CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP’ and bit him.) (it looks like a rabbit, if oni’s could be rabbits.) (he blames Garmadon, he probably corrupted the damn thing and now he has some weird monstrous rabbit attached to him) (he does like telling Chompy to attack tho. He finds it hilarious when the other ghosts are sent running) (their convos go like ‘No Chompy, you can’t eat my book’ ‘chomp chomp?’ ‘Because i said so.’ ‘Chomp chomp!’ ‘Uh, yes, i can.’ ‘Chomp chomp chomp!!’ ‘Wha-why you little-’) (everyone thinks he’s mentally unstable for thinking he can understand them) (and maybe he is but you can shove it, he deserves to talk to weird monster animals who actually like him, after what ever octopus bull the preeminent pulled)

Skylor has a turtle, she got him from Griffin (he couldn’t take care of him all the time and got busy so he asked Skylor if she’s willing to co-parent) (she had to agree that turtle was giving her puppy eyes) (they love acting like divorcees) (Kai pretends to the new boyfriend who hates the og partner) (the turtle is named Grecko) (Griffin wanted to mess with people who thought he was talking about an actual Gecko when instead he was talking about a turtle named Grecko) (Skylor loved and hated it at the same time) (she calls him Greg.) (she gets Greg to walk small distances over to kids in her restaurant and give them food) (the kids love him.)

Neuro has a mouse, five, to be precise. (Nya got the idea for a rat from Neuro, who has to explain to her the difference between the two.) (he loves letting them hide in random places of his body.) (don’t be surprised when you’re talking to him and a mouse just pops out of his shirts collar.) (he doesn’t even look phased.) (he’s accepted his fate as a climbing tree) (he is also trying to learn how to speak mouse by reading their minds) (its going…somewhere.)

Pixal has her lil robots. She loves mini pix with all her heart thats her baby.

Wu has his damn chicken and his chicken has been around for centuries. Morro also loved the chicken.

Are we not going to talk about how ride or die Little is for Ruby?

They saw that the marionette/Penny Sword was important to Ruby and despite not knowing how or why that is they went "ok time to steal!"

Usually Munchkin doesn't let you touch her tummy, but today is helping me stay grounded.

My beloved emotional support dog, Auggie, passed away very suddenly on 09/10/2024 at eight years old.

My grief is immeasurable. Auggie can never be replaced, but he had a job that now needs filling, and waitlists for hypoallergenic, ESA trainable puppies from ethical breeders can be long if opportunities are not taken as soon as they are available. I have picked out a breeder and placed a down payment for a new puppy that will be trained to help me with my support needs. They will be born in October, and home by Christmas. However, I could use a little extra help. I can cover most of the expenses myself, but this will give me a bit of a cushion to make the first few months easier.

This is where my ESA and senior kitty usually sleeps when I'm in the bed with him-right there with his feet or back pressed up against my back. I think it makes us both feel really secure.
