[img: three photos with slight motion blur of a medium white and orange dog carrying two toys in his mouth. His ears are flat, giving him a worried expression. I promise, he just really had to go out and I kept taking pictures./end]

He didn't want to put Boo down in order to pick up Duckie. Aengus "Two Toys Mouth" McDangus.

and Behind The Scenes in the Studio, a couple of the Eepiest Babies you've ever seen (and one Old Man Baby in the far back)

It takes up the entire goddamn living room, but it is so nice to have an actual professional photography setup for cosplay. Much love to both the person who bought the backdrop from my wishlist, and to my photographer bestie @dovesndecay, who loaned us the lighting equipment & camera. You're the best. 💜

I'm sorry you keep having to deal with idiots; Aengus McDangus would absolutely guard your inbox if he could

your dog looks kind of like wishbone!!

[dovesndecay]

that duckie became his favorite thing so fast

[dovesndecay]

throw the duckie mother

[dovesndecay]

he loves his auntie

Sometimes my roommate's dog comes and sits on the floor next to me and I'll look at him and start explaining what I'm doing in terms I feel like a dog would understand

[dovesndecay]

Even while the sky is falling, all I have to do is throw his baby (an old Hedwig stuffie) across the room and he's ecstatic.

Aengus was raised by a cat that clearly thought it was a hilarious jape to train him wrong. he is fully curled up on my hip like the cats do.

[dovesndecay]

I thought it was just anxiety because we had watched a gunshot-heavy film last night, but Aengus has been non-stop pacing since last night, and has basically refused to lay down all day except for a couple hours of sleep he caught with me this morning.

He seems to not be able to take even light pressure to his rump without yelping and looking at me like I tried to murder him with my bare hands, and I am trying not to borrow trouble but also. That's my Boy and I am Concern.

A GoFundMe Update

It's been a rough month. Our vet was amazing, and Rory's remains are home and with my roommate, where he belongs. The time since has been spent grieving, spring cleaning, and reorienting ourselves back to our normal schedules. [I was nocturnal for so long and it sucked. I missed the sun. Not so much the heat, though.] I'm ending May with a tired, desperate hope that things will get better. If I can get the raised amount to $3,900, that'll get me to half of the debt gone. That's $200 worth of monthly bills I no longer have to continue stressing over. $245 of that is my CareCredit account that I use for Aengus' vet care, and would let me keep taking him in for regular check-ups and his flea meds. His skin issues have totally cleared up since I took him in last, and his energy has noticeably improved! He's officially considered a senior dog, so I'm high-key trying to get to a position where I can make sure he spends his old dog years feeling good. For now, though, I've attached some good Aengo Brushies content for your viewing enjoyment. [Not pictured: the pile of fur that I could've made a second, baby Aengus out of] So, the current state of thing stands like this: - 100% of Need: $4,915 - 50% of Need: $2,500 Thank you all so much for your boosts, donations, and wonderful, kind messages. I said recently that my gratitude would never be enough to repay all the support I've received, but I certainly have an abundance of it. Thank you.

The indignity of Aengo's first jammies. He's so fucking cute I'm gonna die.

(the cone was causing Problems™️, so this will help his poor itchy skin to heal without him gnawing at it.)

[dovesndecay]

I did not realize that the blue dog stuffy I put on the wishlist was going to be so smol, but watching him carry it around is so fucking cute I can't function

[dovesndecay]

they have no concept of how often they save my brain from eating itself

[dovesndecay]

Every day i roll over and he's there

[dovesndecay]

evidence that 1) my cat loves my dog more than me, and 2) my dog loves cats more than anything.

[dovesndecay]

Some kind soul sent Aengus one of the stuffed toys off the household wishlist, and he is having the TIME OF HIS LIFE chewing on it.
