[tobywiththetics]

it suprises me that so many people dont know that toby's "mask", is a muzzel 😭

[the-forest-cryptid]

Furry artists, I have a question! Do you guys have any good references or tips when drawing muzzles/snouts? Especially when the character is looking straightforward? My oc's are aliens and I've been trying to redesign them to look less human so I've been trying to use some furry art as references but I'm really struggling with the different perspectives of the muzzel/snout.

I've abandoned my boy (runs off into the woods)

ANYWAY YAY more werewolf SMG4 AU! Wanted to give him a "human" design from when he's "accepted" that he's actually a werewolf, poor guy isn't taking it too well.

He goes around in whatever rags/blankets/cloth he can get because he got tired of ripping his clothes to shreds every night. The muzzle he keeps on at all times as a sort of comfort, it kinda prevents him from biting as a werewolf for a bit, although it usually ends up getting ripped off at some point. He just keeps it on as a human just because at this point.

I need to draw him more god DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

Callum's possessiveness will never not be funny to me

like:

To Tristan this scene is just Callum being an asshole, meanwhile, judging by the evidence in the next scene Callum and Nico interact, what Callum is really doing is just boring his eyes into Tristan like "please please please don't fall in love with nico plllllleeeaasse I am begging you please pick me. choose me. love me."

Exploring Top Dog Muzzles: Balancing Training and Safety

Dog muzzles are devices that fit over a dog's snout and prevent them from opening their mouth fully. They are often used to prevent biting, barking, chewing, or eating inappropriate things. However, dog muzzles are not a substitute for proper training and socialization. They should be used as a temporary measure to keep everyone safe while addressing the underlying issues that cause the unwanted behavior.

Understanding the Purpose of Dog Muzzles

Behavioral Training: Muzzles are effective tools in correcting undesirable behaviors like aggression or excessive barking. However, they should be part of a broader training strategy and not the sole method for behavioral correction.

Safety Measures: In situations where a dog might pose a risk of biting or causing harm, muzzles act as a safety measure. Visits to the veterinarian, grooming sessions, or crowded public spaces often necessitate their use to prevent any accidents.

Types of Dog Muzzles

Basket muzzles: These are made of wire, plastic, or leather and have a basket-like shape that allows the dog to pant, drink, and eat small treats. They are the most comfortable and humane type of muzzle, as they do not restrict the dog's breathing or cause overheating. They are also the most secure, as they prevent the dog from biting or licking anything. Basket muzzles are ideal for dogs that need to wear a muzzle for a long time, such as during walks, vet visits, or grooming sessions.

Soft muzzles: These are made of fabric, nylon, or mesh and wrap around the dog's mouth and nose. They prevent the dog from opening their mouth at all, which means they cannot pant, drink, or eat. They are the least comfortable and humane type of muzzle, as they can cause distress, anxiety, and heatstroke. They are also the least secure, as they can be easily removed by the dog or slip off. Soft muzzles are only suitable for dogs that need to wear a muzzle for a very short time, such as during a nail trim or a quick examination.

Short-snout muzzles: These are specially designed for dogs with flat or brachycephalic faces, such as Pugs, Bulldogs, or Boxers. They cover the entire face and have holes for the eyes and nose. They prevent the dog from biting, but allow them to pant and drink. They are more comfortable and humane than soft muzzles, but less than basket muzzles. They are also fairly secure, but can be removed by the dog if they rub their face against something. Short-snout muzzles are suitable for dogs that need to wear a muzzle for a moderate amount of time, such as during a car ride or a visit to a new place.

Before choosing a dog muzzle, it is important to consider the following factors:

The size and shape of the dog's snout: The muzzle should fit snugly but not too tightly, and should not interfere with the dog's vision, breathing, or panting. It should also match the length and width of the dog's snout, and not extend beyond the tip of the nose.

The purpose and duration of the muzzle use: The muzzle should be appropriate for the reason and the time that the dog needs to wear it. For example, a basket muzzle is better for a dog that needs to wear a muzzle for a walk, while a soft muzzle is better for a dog that needs to wear a muzzle for a nail trim.

The comfort and safety of the dog: The muzzle should not cause any pain, discomfort, or injury to the dog. It should also not increase the dog's stress, fear, or aggression. The dog should be able to breathe, pant, and drink normally, and should not overheat or suffocate.

How to Train Your Dog to Wear a Muzzle

Many dogs are afraid or resistant to wearing a muzzle, as they may associate it with negative experiences, such as pain, punishment, or restriction. Therefore, it is essential to train your dog to wear a muzzle in a positive and gradual way, using rewards and praise. Here are some steps to follow:

Choose a high-quality and well-fitting muzzle that is suitable for your dog and the situation.

Introduce the muzzle to your dog in a calm and relaxed environment, and let them sniff and explore it. Reward them with treats and praise for showing interest and curiosity.

Hold the muzzle in one hand and a treat in the other, and lure your dog to put their nose into the muzzle. Reward them with the treat and praise, and then remove the muzzle. Repeat this several times, until your dog is comfortable with putting their nose into the muzzle.

Gradually increase the duration that your dog keeps their nose in the muzzle, and reward them with treats and praise. Then, start to fasten the straps behind the ears, and reward them again. Remove the muzzle after a few seconds, and repeat this several times, until your dog is comfortable with wearing the muzzle.

Gradually increase the duration that your dog wears the muzzle, and reward them with treats and praise. Start with a few seconds, then a few minutes, then longer periods. Make sure to monitor your dog's behavior and body language, and stop if they show any signs of distress, discomfort, or frustration.

Gradually introduce the muzzle to different situations, such as walks, vet visits, or grooming sessions. Reward your dog with treats and praise for wearing the muzzle calmly and confidently. Make sure to remove the muzzle when the situation is over, and give your dog a break.

Conclusion: Dog muzzles can be a useful tool to help your dog overcome behavioral issues, such as biting, barking, or chewing. However, they should not be used as a permanent solution, or as a way to avoid proper training and socialization. They should also not be used to punish or control your dog, or to make them more aggressive or fearful. Dog muzzles should be used with care and compassion, and only when necessary and appropriate. By choosing the right type of muzzle, and training your dog to wear it positively and gradually, you can balance training and safety for your beloved pet.

DIEDED OMGHHSGSHG AHHHHHHHH They’re everything together omg

[blues824]

Heya bestie how are you doing

Imagen nezuko in the remarried empress.

(Platonic)

🎋Imagen navier finding her sleeping in her secret place and seeing a child with a bamboo muzzle and damaged clothes

And her calling guards to put the child in a room (she is able to walk in the sun for the story )

🌺After a week she is finally away and left her room and ran in to navier and when navier wants to take of her muzzel so she can talk she backs away and writs on a paper that she is a demon and the muzzle is to protect everyone.

🎋How would everyone react to navier finding lil nezuko in her garden with the damage and muzzel and( rattrash thinking navier did it to make her look better) .

🌺Navier thinking that this poor child was brainwash in to believing that she is a monster and feels sad until lil nezuko shows her proof that she a demon .

🎋Imagen navier bringing her to sovieshit with the news and that she whoud like to adopt lil nezuko and explaing why(because she in a Orhan and having her so close is for safety is she ever snaps ) .

🌺How would everyone react to her not needing to eat and that she just sleeps instead of eating human and how they react to her being able to sink and grow.

🎋Imagen her meeting qween and giving him one of her famous headpats that we now always demand because she gives the best headpats.

🌺And how would heinley reach to her instantly finding out that he is qween because of his smell and him panicing that she whoud tell only for her to give him a headpat.

🎋Her being the cutest demon everyone ever saw and everyone sending her gifts and dress because its so cute to see her wearing dresses the nobles send her she is like a little doll.

🌺How would everyone react to her finaly not wearing her muzzel and hearing her speak imagine navier having a bad day and her calling her mother and giving he a hug.

Sovieshu

When he had gotten word that a child was found right outside of the palace by his wife, he immediately went to go see what was happening. Well, the rumors were indeed true, as he saw Navier sitting on a chair to the side of a bed, which held a small girl who was sleeping. With the tender look in his wife’s eyes, he knew what her desired course of action was.

However, even if she were to adopt you, you would never be able to inherit the throne because you are not related by blood. But, who is he to dictate what she does (note my sarcasm)? So, when the legalities of it all were settled, you were now a member of the Imperial Family but were not crowned as the heiress in the case that he should die.

The people in and out of the palace all loved you, but it was clear that your new adoptive father was not so appreciative. On multiple occasions, he has tried to take your muzzle off as it was very improper for a young lady to wear something so repulsive out in public. However, you shoved him away and ran behind your adoptive mother for protection.

Your relationship went from bad to worse when he brought Rashta into the palace. By this point, it was revealed that you were a demon, but no one really cared because you had shown yourself capable of resisting the temptation of eating human flesh. But, upon seeing how angry Navier was, you very much almost killed Sovieshu and his mistress.

At the New Year’s Ball, the only reason why he said yes to his wife asking if you could attend was to draw the noble families’ attention away from his ignorant concubine and onto you, since you were well-loved. However, what he didn’t expect was for you to come without your muzzle and politely greet everyone. Well, at least the dress drama was now overlooked.

Rashta

When she was officially dubbed Sovieshu’s concubine, she was then introduced to both you and Navier. She thought you were the most adorable child ever and tried to kneel down and extend her arm out to you, but the Empress intervened and said that touching her daughter would not be necessary and that a verbal greeting will do.

Even though you were not able to inherit the throne, Rashta knew that you were well-loved by the people: both poor and noble. If the gifts that you had received weren’t an indicator, the headpats you had received from many people were definitely a sign. It wasn’t long before the mistress grew jealous of the love you were getting, while she had to climb the ranks and no one liked it or rewarded her.

It also wasn’t long before you were starting to give her flashbacks of Ian. You were an affectionate child towards Her Imperial Majesty, and all the concubine could see was regret at abandoning her firstborn. You made her think about a possible life she could have led, where she maybe married Alan and escaped slavery through that.

However, when it was revealed that you were a demon who had been resisting the temptation of human flesh, her heart flooded with terror. She was now constantly fearing for the life of her unborn child, and she stayed as far away from you as possible. But, it was nearly impossible at the New Year’s Ball, where she was very close to falling in a fit of hysterics.

Speaking of, you showed up at Navier’s side without your muzzle, and it was the first time she had ever heard your real voice. Everyone seemed to be as surprised, but no one was thinking what the young mistress was thinking: that demon needs her muzzle. It’s sad, really… how she thought of you like a dog rather than a demon who used to have a person.

Navier

She found you sleeping in her hiding place, and called a few guards to carry you to a spare bedroom so that she could look after you. However, over the course of just a few days, she grew attached and never wanted to depart from you. So, she hired someone to try and find your parents. When the results came back and said that your parents had perished, she sent for Sovieshu and voiced her desire to adopt you.

He gave her the ‘okay’, and she went through all the legalities. By this time, you were awake and overjoyed at the prospect of having a new mother. Once it was official, you immediately ran to hug your new mom. This alone almost had the woman in tears, as she has already grown to love you like a parent would their child.

But, not all happy moments last. Sovieshu had fallen in love with another woman, and made her a mistress. So, obviously, Navier was frustrated that he hadn’t talked with her first. Thus, this made you angry and you almost gnarled your teeth at the Emperor. This surprised the Empress, but she did stop Sovieshu from scolding you.

When she took you back to her chambers to talk to you about the incident, you took off your muzzle and started tearing up and talking about how you were a demon. She thought you meant it figuratively, but you showed her your teeth and the fact that you can shrink and grow. Well, word got out, but your reputation was not affected. Actually, the nobility and the commoners both continued to send you gifts for your courage to admit it.

During the New Year’s Ball, you showed up without your muzzle, and you appeared at the side of Her Imperial Majesty. You donned a beautifully made dress that had a similar pattern to your mother’s but was in your favorite color. Because you were greeting people and allowing them to hear your voice for the first time, the dress drama was overlooked and the party continued.

Heinrey

He first met you when he was in Queen form. He had flown into Navier’s window, and you were there. The two of you confused; him about what a child was doing here and you about what a bird was doing here. However, you walked over and gave the bird a headpat, and he at first found it shocking. But, upon finding out that you were Her Imperial Majesty’s adopted daughter, his heart melted at the fact that you accepted him.

Then, the New Year’s Ball. The Crowned Prince of the Western Kingdom watched as the Empress and the Princess made their grand interest. Of course, since it was his second time meeting you, he did not pay too much attention to you not having a muzzle, but he could tell that it was causing whispers about how gentle and polite you were.

You then walked up to greet him, but you noticed a distinct smell. You told him to bend down and quietly asked if he was the bird that was visiting your mother. His eyes widened at how quickly you were able to deduce that, but as he was bending down you gave him a headpat and promised not to tell.

As Heinrey and Navier got more romantically involved, the former became more of a father figure to you than Sovieshu ever has. On more than one occasion, the Crowned Prince has been seen carrying you about, picking you up and twirling you around while smiling at you… and again it gave you a sense of family.

When the whole divorce sequence happens, the High Priest ruled in Navier’s favor in custody over you, and with the remarriage it meant that Heinrey was now your stepfather. You let out a cheer of joy as you ran into his arms, where he had on arm secured around you and one arm secured over his new wife.

There is a pomerian down the street who just looks like this.

All I see from the road is a tiny angy ball of fluff, and a muzzel working overtime to alert it's owners of the trespassers on the street! in the shrillest manner.

My dog completly ignores him.

[esoterica-erotica]

As the door opens you see a scrawny guy smelling like a brewery stumbling in, the cameraman who couldn't stop laughing while the surgery was being done, he freezes up like a deer in headlights as soon as he sees you and you notice his head is perfectly lined up to the barrel of the gun. You literally couldn't get a better shot unless someone decided they could eat the muzzel.

(If you decide to shoot roll an instant success aimed head shot (5d6x2))

(43 if that's roll double, 32 if it's roll once and double it) I let loose, a grim grin on my face, holding my position and cocking the shotgun again, readying myself for a second shot, glancing briefly to the door to see if there were more enemies with my current foe. (Also, was the rest of my gear in the room? Notably my medical supplies and melee weapon)

[asprin-137]

I'm back at it again with my crochet fursuit partial. Took a break for a bit to focus on other things and collect my thoughts. Crocheting a whole fursuit head is just about how hard I thought it would be. I have a vauge pattern for the muzzel, and an even vauger plan for the rest of the head.

This is what i have currently for the muzzel in the form of prototype 2. I forgot to write down the height of c1 so b1 is a little longer. I do have a way to shorten it however.

The problem with crochet is there is very little way to cut pieces in half. I can't just make a huge sheet and cut out a patern, i have to shape it as i go along.

This process of shaping has in fact, already messed me up.

This is my first prototype of the muzzle, sewn together with purple so I knew where they are connected. Doing this helped me get an understanding of how to shape my current prototype. I will likely use these pieces as practice for how i will fur the head.

These are my references, the art(besides the one titled fursona, i drew that myself in mspaint) was found on pinterest with no credit to the original artist. If anyone knows the artists I will gladly credit them. Their photos are the style of fursuit i am doing. I'm just not a fan of the typical fursuit style so I am attempting to create something new that fits me more.

Half my students have been working on dogs or foxes this month, I had to get real good at muzzels real fast. furry-fied version of my first twitch chat cover:

[prettyskitty973]

❥ - a childhood memory

A barn.

His hands were small in his father's hand. He could look up and see hoothoot perched in the rafters, staring back.

It frightened him.

"Tommy." His hand was pryed off of the thick canvas coveralls his father wore. "Son, don't cling."

He nodded.

"Tommy, look." He followed the calloused finger to the corner of the barn, where Ol' Mama lay in the hay. Her ears and muzzel were bleached with age.

"She has someone you should meet." His father released his hand. "Go on - say hello."

The gate latch was a little too high - he had to stretch on his tiptoes. The wood was rough, untreated. Potential splinters pricked his palms as he pushed.

Ol' Mama stared as he approached, sucking his thumb. Her eyesight wasn't perfect - yet deep snorting and a satisfied sneeze resonated before she put her head back down and wheezed out a sigh.

At her side were tiny, wriggly creatures, only weeks old. He sat beside her and rubbed her ear between his fingers. Like worn velvet - eaten by flies and time, but soft.

One caught his eye. It's face was crinkled like wrapping paper, eyes screwed shut. Yet she stumbled into his lap, and attempted to suckled his finger. He let her for a few moments, before gently holding her to his chest.

"Hi. I'm Tommy. We'll be friends, I think."

The little snubbull snored in response.

[shmorp-mcdurgen]
