I absolutely love these designs and the kooky stinky (/very affectionate) art style its WONDERFUL. Dogteeth looks like an actual dog w his head shape and his flopped ear and the way his claws dont seem to retract (?), n Carrionstar looks like a vulture w her markings n coloration…. just wanted to say that i admire how detailed you can make it even w how simplistic it looks <3

HEHEHEHE OMG yesss theyre stinky so smelly im glad you get it :3c THANK YOU IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY DRAWING STYLE i iiiii yes i usually like to draw more simple designs or whatever but try to make them expressive etc idk i just draw like this (real) IM GLAD YOU ENJOY IT !!!!!! YAYYY ❤️❤️❤️

ALSO WOOYES i based Carrionstar's markings and what not on vultures slightly : ) AND .

Dogteeth is actually a dog! It's true. Yep hi everyone she's a dog!! it's true. stinky. i WILL elaborate WHY shes here but the fact she's a dog is not a spoiler. dogy. heheh so happy u noticed how her claws dont retract.. and her bigass mouth

thank you so much for the comments < 3

TIL there is cat ice cream

So therefore calling your furry partner (in the consensual petplay/nicknames), “I’m feeding my cat ice cream” is technically correct in a sense!

did you know cheetahs are given support dogs to help with their anxiety?

it is munday! send ‘♡’ for a pointless fact about the mun.

// I used to frequent a social media site for dog owners called Dogster. (It's a magazine now.) It was modeled a bit after My Space (you made a profile for your dogs, each of them individually), and had forums.

I was super active on the forums and learned a lot from there. (Was involved in very heated discussions about dog nutrition, breeding, training, etc all the time. I was an opinionated 15, 16 year old. I can't handle the heat like that no more due to OCD and anxiety tho. And I'm a bit more chill now, though some stuff makes me kinda angry still. I'm nearly always on the side of fandoms with more unpopular opinions and takes.)

Anyway-- site also had a Q & A section

The internet was a bit less widely used back in the 2000's, but I have indeed seen the dog world shift based on the conversations we had on the site back then. (Dog foods generally having better ingredients now than back then, etc.)

I wonder if anything I contributed was a part of that change

Fanfic: The Switcheroo (Bluey)

READ NOW ON AO3!

This Bluey bonus short is called “The Switcheroo.”

+++

“Crumbed steak, I’m so late!” worried Bandit Heeler, frantically throwing stray papers all around his office. “Where are they, where are they?” He tore each shelf, cabinet, and open table space apart yet had come up empty, and his friends were waiting on him, as evidenced by Pat’s earlier annoyed text. Poking his head into the hallway, he looked toward the kitchen. “Chilli, have you seen my Dungeons & Dogsters things?”

“They’re in the den, honey!” his wife called back. “Right where you left them last time.”

Bandit ran downstairs, panting, and skidded to a halt. Immediately, he spotted a stack of paper on the side table closest to the kids’ playroom. Chilli was right, as she often was. He snatched them in his paws and dashed out. The quickest way to Pat’s was by hopping the fence in the backyard, just through the playroom. It was a quick, straight, clear shot that would waste no more time than he had already.

At least he thought it was a clear shot.

Bluey set the purple crayon down and held up her latest masterpiece to admire. “How lovely,” she beamed. She placed it gingerly on top of three other drawings, taking care not to crease them, before taking hold of the stack and standing up. “I’m going to show these to mum.” With pride across her snout, she started walking toward the large entryway toward the den.

As Bandit reached the kiwi rug in the middle of the playroom, he heard a sharp yelp in front of him. Try as he might, he could not apply the brakes quickly enough. With a pained grunt, he received the full brunt of a small heeler head to his gut and flopped onto his side, the paper in his hand released into the air.

“Ow,” said Bluey.

Sitting up quickly while clutching his aching belly, he found his pup sitting on the floor and rubbing her head, paper strewn all around them. He immediately held out a hand to her. “You all right, Bluey?”

“Yes, I’m fine,” said Bluey, gripping her dad’s paw as he pulled her upright.

He ruffled her ears. “Sorry about that, squirt, but I’m in a rush!” He scooped up the pieces of paper closest to him and legged it off the patio and into the backyard. “Keep it real!”

Bluey waved as her dad climbed the fence and tumbled into Lucky’s dad’s backyard. She laughed. It was always funny when he did that.

When Bluey walked into the kitchen, her mom was tending to a boiling pot on the stove. “Mum, why is dad in a hurry?”

“He got off work a bit late and tonight’s when he plays Dungeons and Dogsters with his friends,” said Chilli, shaking some Italian herbs into the pot.

“He bumped into me as he was running off,” Bluey giggled.

“Oooh, you okay?”

“Yup. I was just coming to put these on the fridge.” She held out the paper to her mom with a smile.

“Wackadoo! Let’s see ‘em.” Chilli took the pictures to look at, then raised an eyebrow. They were not, in fact, pictures. “Bluey, these are your dad’s Dungeons and Dogsters sheets. He needs these to play the game.”

“What?” said Bluey, snatching them back and thumbing through them. “But I had my pictures before I bumped into dad!”

“Okay, what happened after?”

“He helped me up then grabbed the paper near him and ran off. I saw him go into Lucky’s house.”

“That means-” Chilli suddenly gasped. She ran to the window and looked toward Pat’s house. Not a Bandit in sight. He was gone and so were Bluey’s drawings. Knowing him, he wouldn’t come back for them even if it would take five minutes. “Oh, biscuits.”

“Mum?”

“Yes, Bluey?”

“What’s on those sheets?”

“Things about the character he plays as in the game, what he looks like, his magical powers, that stuff.”

“Oh.” Bluey smiled. “I hope he likes playing with a Heeler dressed in big red boots and fairy braids riding a unicorn, then.”

The two laughed. “Knowing your dad,” Chilli said, “he’ll make it work.”

Send 🔥 (or if emoji not available write "hot take") for the mun have. Bonus: for a specific topic and doesn't have to be RP related!

Hot take the 1st:

I used to be super duper active on this website called Dogster, which was like... Myspace for dogs lol. You had a profile for your dog. And the forums were used for discussion. Lots of people posted as their dogs for less serious things. There was also a section for Q & A about various areas of dog care and stuff.

Being an undiagnosed autistic teenager, I often gave advice. Cuz typically, when we have a special interest, we soak up ALL of the knowledge there is to soak up.

So I was a frequent person to be giving the advice.

I remember one time someone expressed discomfort once they learned that I was 15 and giving out simple training advice.

Now, as I've gotten older, I've realized more that I'm not the expert I held myself to kinda be. But, also, I was pretty knowledgeable. And a lot of that knowledge is still there, even if I need to dig around my brain for it these days.

My advice was pretty sound so far as peer-to-peer stuff. I did my homework, and I had dogs of my own that I trained myself. I had a decent understanding of canine behavior and how to handle it.

But these days I do get why that person was uncomfortable with my age.

Hot take the 2nd:

Do. Not. Breed. Your. Dog.

Especially not without some very thorough research and learning, or a mentor.

There's an overpopulation issue with pets, for one.

But that said: not all breeding is bad. Responsible dog breeding is also good, and necessary.
