Everything You Need
Stepmom!Wanda x Reader
Summary: Wanda takes great responsibility with being your mama. Maybe even too much responsibility at times. She’s determined to be everything you could ever need.
CW: Breastfeeding, Somnophilia (so noncon), loss of virginity, first kiss, fingering, arousal tasting, Wanda is a little freak
Word Count: ~3.5k (I didn’t check)
A/N: The final chapter. It’s very bittersweet. I have loved this story quite possibly more than anything I’ve written before. However, I’m very proud to wrap it up and put a little bow on this series as a finish project at last.
Part 6 of Her Special Girl
———————————————————
Infuriatingly enough, Wanda’s milk came late one morning when you weren’t home. In fact, you weren’t going to be home at all until later that evening, after all your classes were over. It took every bit of her willpower not to text you as soon as it happened. She wanted it to be a surprise.
But all it would take is one text. You could be home in ten minutes. The two of you would have all afternoon to yourselves. She could have Vision pick the boys up from school. Email Natasha and take the rest of the day off. Your father wouldn’t be home until tonight.
No. No, your schoolwork was important. She would let you finish up your classes, and you would be home in six hours, and then she could slip into your room after the boys and your father went to bed. After pumping this morning, she probably wouldn’t have much more milk until then anyway.
It was a noble goal, truly.
She made it 45 minutes. She sat in front of her desk, trying to work through an excel sheet. But she couldn’t focus. All the cells twisted and melted together as her brain swam with daydreams. You were going to be so excited. She imagined your smile when she told you: your eyes would crinkle at the corners, squinting into crescents so tight it looked like they were nearly closed. Your cheeks would form your perfect dimples, 2 on your left cheek, 1 on the right. The one on your right cheek only made an appearance when you were really happy.
Finally, she caved. She shot Natasha a short, nondescript email, Vision a short text, and you an equally brief text, asking if you could come home early because she had a surprise. She paced around your bedroom, obsessively folding and unfolding the throw blanket at the foot of your bed.
She fluffed the pillows, made up the sheets, flattened out the comforter and tucked it in at the sides of the mattress, only to then strip the bed completely and put on new, clean sheets, even though she just changed them three days ago.
She truly hadn’t been this excited in ages. She hadn’t even been this neurotic when she learned you were coming home for the first time in three years. Of course she cleaned in the weeks leading up to it, a lot. But she hadn’t necessarily had time to prepare for the immediate event of your arrival, given that you had arrived a bit unexpectedly a week early.
She felt like a pregnant dog obsessively digging through her whelping box, or a mother bird perfecting every twig of her nest in preparation for her hatching eggs.
Her baby was coming. Everything had to be perfect.
—————
Wanda laid awake, staring at the vaulted ceiling until it appeared to be stretching, tightening the walls around her that threatened to swallow her up. It was well past midnight, probably around 2am, but she hadn’t been able to sleep a wink. She couldn’t stop thinking about today: the twin’s kindergarten orientation.
She held it off for as long as she could, just like she had with every other aspect of their growing up. Every milestone they’d ever reached had been a blade through her heart. They all felt like the world’s cold hands were ripping her babies from her arms.
If it weren’t for Vision, they might not even be potty trained despite having shown signs of readiness very early.
She hated how fast they were growing up. How all the other adults in their life fawned over how “independent they were for their age”. She loved her boys more than anything in the world, but god she wished they were more clingy and needy. They never even wanted to sleep in the bed with her. She had tried to force the habit, but they always managed to wriggle their tiny bodies out of her loving arms.
It didn’t help that they were twins so they could rely on each other for some things instead of just her.
And then there was kindergarten orientation. She watched as all the other children cried and clung to their mothers with desperation. She knew it bordered on sadism, but she felt a slight tinge of hope that her beautiful boys might feel the same desperation at the thought of being separated from her.
But they didn’t.
They pranced into the classroom together, elated by the prospect of new toys and friends to play with. They hardly even gave her a second glance. They were no longer her tiny, helpless babies that relied on her for everything. She tried to tell herself that independence was good. Natural. But her heart felt like it was being ripped apart. Her babies weren’t babies anymore. They didn’t need her like they had before.
She couldn’t have any more children. She had a stepdaughter, but you hated her as far as she knew. Not to mention you were old enough to move out on your own. You didn’t need her at all.
And soon her boys wouldn’t either. She would be left all alone: the empty husk of a woman rotting away with no purpose. No one to care for. No one to love her unconditionally. No one to love her at all.
Alright. She was spiraling. She needed to take a walk.
She threw her robe over her thin pajama shirt and headed for the kitchen. Maybe some tea would clear her mind.
But before she could head down the stairs, she heard something odd. Was that the shower? No one should be in the shower at this time of night. You had gotten in the shower before she went to bed, but that had been hours ago.
She cracked open your bedroom door, finding your room empty. She knocked on the bathroom door. “Honey? Are you okay in there?”
No answer. Her stomach churned. Something wasn’t right. She stood on her tiptoes, reaching for the key they kept above the doorway in case of emergency and unlocked the door.
“Honey?” She called, stepping quietly into the bathroom. She didn’t want to invade your privacy, but she could feel in her gut that something was wrong.
That’s when she saw you, limp and freezing on the bathroom tile. She flung open the glass door in a frenzy, braving shutting off the freezing water and pulling your wet, naked body into her arms. “Oh! My sweet girl. How long have you been in here? I just woke up to use the restroom and I heard the water still running. You poor thing, have you been in here all night? You’re freezing. Your poor lips are purple! Come on, let's get you warmed up.”
She picked you up cradling you against her chest like a baby. Her baby. She looked down, taking in your face. Your lips were purple, but slightly parted. Your little noises mimicked a baby’s coos, chirps and whines made in place of words. She laid you down on top of a blanket, carefully folding the ends over your freezing body into a comforting swaddle.
When your small, shaking body inched closer to her, wrapping around her waist like a scarf, her heart melted. She pushed the wet hair from your eyes, gently caressing your head. And as she looked into your eyes, something in the universe clicked. She had spent all night feeling so empty, like her very purpose was fading away, but it was all restored by the look you gave her. It was the same look she wished to see on her boys’ face this morning: clingy, needy, and completely reliant on her.
You needed her, and she needed you to need her. “Aww my sweet girl. You’ll be alright. I’m not going anywhere. Mama’s here.”
When you tugged weakly at her nightshirt, pulling her towards you with tiny, desperate hands, she did not hesitate to crawl under the blankets and pull you into her arms. “You poor thing, you're still freezing. It’s okay, mama will keep warm.”
She thought nothing of it when you started to pull the nightshirt over her head, exposing her bare skin to your own. You were still ice cold to the touch, but she pressed your entire body to hers, cradling you to her chest. She held you like she would have if you had just come into the world, laying you bare against the skin of her chest. She cradled the back of your head with her hand, inhaling your smell. The smell of her baby. “Mmm, you’re right this will get you all nice and warmed up. You're a very smart girl.”
“I love you, mama.”
“I love you too, sweet girl.”
She kissed your head, enveloping you with her warmth. She held you tight, even as she finally felt your body go limp on top of her. She sang you sovokian lullabies as you slept, rubbing up and down your back, circling the swell of your ass. You were so soft. You were so little. She pressed her fingers into your palm, watching as your infantile reflexes caused you to wrap your hand around them.
She felt as you unconsciously shifted, nuzzling your face into her neck. She giggled as your warm breath tickled her skin. She held your face, placing her thumb just in between your parted lips. “My beautiful girl,” she whispered, lifting your face to press a gentle kiss to your lips. Your first kiss, completely forgotten by your unconscious mind.
There were other things you didn’t remember. Many nights when she had crept in after you had fallen asleep to explore your soft body. You only ever wore slips to bed, when you wore anything at all. You loved the feeling of soft blankets on your skin. In some ways, she imagined you did it just for her: leaving yourself as a little present to unwrap at the end of the day.
She always treated you so delicately, with the utmost love and respect. She did love you, after all. She would take care of you just as any mother would. So when your body started to yearn for more, responding to her gentle caresses with an arched back and whiny breaths, she couldn’t bring herself to deny you.
“Shhh,” she soothed, positioning her body over yours, “Mama’s got you. Just relax. Let mama take care of you.” She eased her hand down your body, slowly pushing up the hem of your slip and rubbing her fingers over your panties. She could feel a damp spot growing over the thin, silky material under her fingertips.
You whined and bucked your hips against her hand.
“Oh angel,” she breathed, kissing your temple. “You poor thing. So needy for mama. It’s okay baby. I’m gonna take of Every. Little. Thing.” She slipped her hand under the fabric and circled your clit slowly before sliding a single finger inside of you.
“God you’re so tight. I bet no one’s ever touched you here before, have they, sweet girl?” She whispered. You stirred, whining and rubbing your eyes. “Shshsh, go back to sleep baby. Let mama take care of your needy body.”
She slowed down, stilling completely until she was sure you were asleep. Only then did she start to move, slow and gentle. She kissed your temple, soothing your writhing, sleeping body. She cooed praises into your ear as she pumped a single finger in and out of you. Her palm massaged your clit in perfect, gentle circles. It was enough to make your untouched body cum in minutes.
“That's my good girl,” she whispered. “Letting mama take care of you like this.”
She slowly pulled her finger from you, drinking down the remnants of your first ever orgasm. One you would never remember, but she would, forever.
She was gentler with you than anyone else would be, she told herself. You were too good for anyone. She would have to protect you from them. She had to make sure you never wanted for anything. She would be your sole source of happiness and safety, more than your own mother, or anyone else for that matter, ever had been. She would feel your entire life with so much laughter and love you would forget there was even a world outside of her. She was determined to be your mother, your lover, your best and closest friend. She would be everything you could ever need.
—————
When she heard the sound of your keys in the front door, she practically jumped down the stairs. She was in the foyer before you could even unlace your shoes, holding something conspicuously behind her back.
You smiled at her with giddy excitement, bouncing on the balls of your feet. She licked her lip, slowly pulling a small plastic container from behind her back. At the bottom of the container was a small amount of a yellowish white liquid. You looked at the liquid, then back up at her beaming face. “Is that…” you asked knowingly.
She eagerly nodded. You ran into her arms excitedly, beaming from ear to ear. She pulled you into a deep kiss, practically bending you backwards with the ferocity of it. You reached up to grab the back of her neck, holding her face in your other hand. By the time you pulled back, you were both breathless, but you could hardly keep away, following the kiss with several more pecks punctuated by smiles and bits of laughter. You nuzzled your nose against her, rubbing your excitement all over her.
She moved away only far enough to set the plastic container down on the nearest surface available before pulling you back into her arms.
“Can I drink it?” you asked, cradling her cheek once more.
“Not that one,” she responded. She had read it was best to pour the first milk out. As much as she loathed to throw any of the precious liquid away, your health was too precious to risk. “But every other drop I ever make is for you.” She kissed you again, resting her forehead against yours. “All for you.”
You smiled, wrapping your arms around her neck and jumping up to wrap your legs around her waist. She caught you with practiced ease, looping her arms under your butt and making her way up the stairs.
You tried to kiss her more, but she chuckled. “Careful, sweet girl. You’re gonna make mama fall.”
It wasn’t until she made it into your room that she gently laid you down on your back and bent over to press her lip to yours.
Your hands slid up under her shirt, pulling it up over her head as she crawled on top of you. Her bra came shortly after, sliding down over her shoulders revealing her perfect chest. She had grown nearly an entire cup size since she had started pumping two months ago. Luckily she was a small C to begin with, so most of her bras still fit, if not a little snugly.
You impatiently moved down to her swollen nipples, trying to secure one between your lips in the awkward position. She buried her hand in your hair, pulling you back firmly. “Be patient, sweet girl. Let me sit down first.”
You nodded, mouth still eagerly open and eyes blown wide with hunger and desire. “Yes, mama.”
She sat at the headboard, adjusting the pillows around her lap. She beckoned you up. You crawled into her lap, laying down with your head cradled in the crook of her elbow. “There you go,” she cooed, easing you into her chest.
Your lips gently closed around her nipple. Despite your prior impatience, your position in her arms eased your eager mind. Your suckling was slow and methodical, keeping a gentle and consistent rhythm. Wanda ran her hand through your hair, cooing gently. “That’s my sweet girl. Just like that.”
There was a tense thirty seconds where she worried the milk would not come. She had just pumped hardly an hour ago. But, in time, she felt the smooth start to flow from her breast. She inhaled sharply. The hand that combed through your hair started to shake as she brought it to her own mouth. She had waited so long for this moment: she was feeding her baby from her own body. Nothing had ever felt so magical.
“Oh,” she sighed, bringing her hand back down to caress your soft cheek. The thin peach fuzz on your face felt so unbelievably soft under her knuckles as she felt the rhythmic pulse of suckling from the outside. “My baby.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, gently rolling down her cheeks and neck onto her bare chest. She was so happy. She could sit here just like this forever, listening to the peaceful sound of your suckling. Your eyelids fluttered blissfully, as if you were drinking some magical elixir that calmed every muscle in your body. You were completely limp in her arms, maybe even more so than you would be if you were sleeping. Your head was emptied of every thought. There was just Wanda and her sweet, warm essence pouring down your throat.
Wanda chuckled softly as a small drop of milk formed at the corner of your mouth. She wiped it away. “Messy girl,” she whispered playfully. Her hand worked its way down to your stomach, lifting your shirt and circling the soft skin there. She imagined it filling, swelling with her milk until you were completely sated. Until you didn’t need anything else but her.
There wasn’t very much milk, at the moment. Between both of her breasts, you were probably only able to get about an ounce. But there would be more. There would always be more for you. She would make sure of it. There would always be as much as you needed.
You moved to pull away, but she held you close. “Not yet, little love,” she requested quietly. Her hand moved lower, trailing down your bare stomach until it slipped its way under the waistband of your pants. “Let me take care of you.”
Her hand slid between your legs, edging them apart slightly. Her middle finger gently traced your slit, stopping to circle your clit. You moaned into her chest causing a small moan to escape her lips as well. She pushed your underwear aside, pushing two fingers past your entrance. The rhythm of your suckling faltered as she pumped her fingers.
The angle was slightly awkward, but it was heavenly. It was the same angle she had used to give you your first ever orgasm, with an extra finger. You didn’t know, as you had no recollection of it, but she surely did.
The base of her palm rubbed perfectly against your clit with every stroke. The pads of her fingers curled so perfectly inside of you. Your eyes, already heavy with relaxation, rolled back. Your body, already limp in her arms, molded perfectly with hers. Your mind, already void of all stress and thoughts, was overtaken with pleasure.
She could feel every whimper and moan amplified with her nipple still tucked securely between your lips. Your pleasure became her pleasure in a perfect combination of two bodies.
When you came on her fingers, the moans and vibrations that rang through her chest sent her into her own orgasm, one she didn’t expect and, quite frankly, didn’t know was possible.
After coaxing every drop of your excitement your body would allow, She brought her fingers to her mouth, swallowing down your essence as you had swallowed hers.
She finally allowed you to pull away, adjusting your body to lay on top of hers. You kicked your pants and shirt off, removing any clothes she had from her body as well. There would be nothing in between. You couldn’t bear to feel anything but her skin against hers. Your legs tangled in with hers as you rested your head in her neck.
“Mmm, I love you mama.” You hummed pleasantly, craning your neck you to kiss her jaw.
“I love you too, sweet girl,” she said, pressing a long kiss to your forehead. “More than all the stars in the sky.” She rubbed soothing circles into your back. She rocked you quietly singing you the same Sovokian lullaby she had all those years ago, coaxing you to sleep.
There was no greater place of peace anywhere in the world. You were sure of it. She was everything you needed. Everything you would ever need.

Hey so if you’re new here and haven’t been around longer than ten minutes you might not know that my fave fave fave tropes ever are 1: time travel and 2: Obi-Wan getting adopted by Mandos, so whenever I find a time travel fic where Obi goes back in time and is promptly adopted by Mandos I get so excited trust me there are a lot but rn what I really really really want is a fic where I combine one of my fave headcanon type things that I like to put in fics with my second fave trope being Force Sensitive Jaster Mereel and then combined with Obi-Wan and Anakin (and probably Shmi too lmao let’s have a force sensitive babies party here) as force ghosts with Jaster and suddenly one of them comes back all ‘YALL I KNOW HOW TO GO BACK IN TIME I FIGURED IT OUT’ and so they all go back in time with the pure goal of saving their peoples (Mandos, Jedi AND slaves okay we makin a trifecta of people who got the worst bullshit in Star Wars two of which got all the blame when literally all of it was Sith and slavers faults) and Jaster goes back in time to Korda 6 and looks around for Jango so they could retreat only for little grunts of ouchies I fell to happen and he looks over to see a small pile of toddlers Obi-Wan, Anakin, Shmi, (Boba and like six other clones you know I have to) and is all ‘oh shit. Please be potty trained please be potty trained please be potty trained’ and now he has to go find Jango to call them back to their ships and tell Jango he in fact has a bunch of new vod’ika all of whom still have adult memories and also can you hold Boba please he’s a crying mess he just wants Jango nvm you can be that one’s Buir he bites lmao NO DONT HOLD HIM LIKE THAT JANIKA I RAISED YOU BETTER and now they’re back to Mandalore and Jaster is all ‘shit. We made this plan to save ALL our peoples. Well fuck.’ And now he’s all wait a sec and calls up the Jedi (yes they had him on hold for 3 hours and he kept bouncing between departments it was very annoying with Obi-Wan’s little fangies teething on his vambraces making the most annoying sound ever the whole time) and now he’s able to sorta blank for a solid 30 seconds before blurting out that they have force sensitive babies and the Jedi can’t have them and then Anakin HANGS UP ON THEM YOU LIL SHIT THAT DIDNT SOUND GOOD and the Jedi sorta like text him back all ‘??? Good for you???’ And now Jaster has to call them again and explain that he needs help with these lil shits teething on his armor and throwing people into walls when they sneeze and the temple is all ‘listen we can send out a master with docs but we’re a lil busy looking for a Stewjoni initiate that disappeared from the nursery’ ‘oh you mean this one?’ *holds up Obi by an ankle who’s chewing furiously on a vambrace’ and says they can’t have him back the kara gave him that baby!!!!! So now they have to send out a team whereupon Plo and Dooku are suckered into a -three way with Jaster- a deal upon which the Mandos will help the Jedi leave the Republic who use them like attack dogs and then they can stop slavery together and raise babies!
Anyways. I just think that would be neat.

WIP
Tagged by lovelies @anewkindofme and @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad
This is going to be a one shot or two shot about little three-year-old Eddie visiting his grandma in California and ends up meeting young adult Athena as a cop when he get lost.
---
It is summer of 1997.
Three-year-old Edmundo Diaz is super excited. Him and his eight-year-old big sister Adrianna are visiting Abuela in California. He is super annoyed to because he wants to explore but instead, he is being put down for a nap.
“Don’t wanna nap, Anna doesn’t nap. It no fair.” Looking up at his mama with his little arm crossed.
“Adrianna is a big girl. You are still little and little boys need naps or they get grumpy. Do you want to be grumpy?”
He pouts at the question. “No. mommy.”
“Potty and then sleepy time.” He shakes his dramatically no. “If you don’t go potty, mama is gonna put a diaper on you. I thought you wanted to play big boy. Big boys go potty before sleep and wear big boy undies to bed.”
“Papa took Eddie to the potty.”
“Ramon! Get in here!”
“Helena, what is it?”
“Did Edmundo go to the bathroom?”
“Not recently.” A little giggle came from their toddler. “Did you try to trick mama?”
“Maybe?”
“Helena just put on his diaper pull-up. Potty training can continue when we’re home, he going to ended climbing to sleep in bed with his sister and abuela and going to wet the bed when we are gone anyway.”
“Daddy, want hug.” Stretching his arms up indicating he wants to be picked up and carried.
“Ramon, change him. Remember don’t work him up. He won’t fall asleep.”
He grabs pulled up the little boy swinging him is his arm and place him on his hip. “Come on Little Mr. papa taking you to the bathroom and get you into your pjs and diaper. Mama is gonna put you to sleep.”
“Okay, papa.”
“Dinosaur or Winnie The Pooh?”
“Pooh Bear pjs, please.”
“Arms up?” His little son hold is arms up. Ramon pulls off the stripped green and purple Barney the Dinosaur shirt. He then moves on the denim shorts and underwear, untying the elastane waist band and pulling them down together. “One foot and two foot. There we go. How about you go potty.”
The little boy yawns and rubs his eyes “no no, sleepy.”
“Are you Papa’s sleepy little boy? Ready for naptime?”
He nods his head yes. Ramon gets the pajamas and diaper on Eddie with ease, picking and carrying him the little boy snuggles close to his daddy and sucking his thumb. He keeps falling in and out of sleep. Papa kisses the top of his little head before placing him on the bed and indicts to his wife the state of their child.
She tucks him into bed with his stuffed toy dog, Mr. Doggy.
“Will you and papa be here when I wake up?” He always wants mama and a snack after nap time.
“Mama will be here. She is not leaving until after bedtime. We will spend the whole day together. Mama loves you so much. Now sleepy time.”
“Want chupa?” Helena and Ramon are trying to ween Eddie off pacifiers. It has not been working well. They tried convincing him, dipping it in lemon juice, hiding it.
Adrianna even told Eddie that a monster would come up from under the bed and eat him if he kept using his chupa. The big sister ended up regretting. She got in so much trouble for scaring and making him cry. She suffered the conquests of her toddler brother having nightmares, causing him the inability to sleep in his own bed alone and therefore was forced to share her bed for over a month.
Helena is hoping her mother-in-law can ride Eddie of this habit while visiting. She does not want to deal with her tiny human who has been up since before the sun rise throwing a tantrum and his pacifier is cleaner than his thumb. She allows it one or two more times. She grabs the pacifier clipping it to his pj shirt and remove his thumb from his mouth replacing it with the pacifier and lightly kisses his head and soft says. “I love you.”
From behind the pacifier mumbling “Love you too, mama.”
On the way here mama and papa told him to be a good boy. They made him promised to hold Abuela and Anna’s hands when they are out of the house otherwise, he would have to stay in the stroller. Abuela promised to take them to Disneyland. She is a little old to carry a toddler for hours on end and they don’t want him to get lost.

Thoughts on owner training service dogs
I love that the US allows owner training for service dogs. It makes them accessible to people who don't have multiple thousands of dollars to spend on a program dog. That being said, training a service dog sounds like such a daunting task, especially for a disabled person.
I have POTS and HEDS, meaning I frequently feel faint and have issues bending down and getting on/off the floor sometimes. Even with my medications, I still experience a lot of physical discomfort and pain, that's part of the reason I want a service dog- to help with tasks like picking things up. But I have to push through this period of time where I'll have to do a lot of up and down, picking up puppy, cleaning potty accidents, etc.
I know many have had luck with training adult dogs but after much research, I decided an ethically bred puppy from a fab 4 breed would give me my best shot for my first service dog. I know I am too prone to emotional attachment to rehome a washed prospect. If Tup doesn't make it as a service dog, he will still be my companion for the rest of his life. That isn't to throw any shade on those who have washed prospects, I just know how I am.
All this to say. I know it will be hard. I'm ready for the nightmare that is raising a puppy. I'm just glad I have family to support and help me when I'm feeling particularly unwell.
Thanks for reading my ramble :P

i met someone who’s on the fence about giving away their shih tzu mix (there’s some backstory and they’re moving etc)
but damnnn if they do, i’ll totally take her. she’s adorable, very friendly (kept trying to jump up to lick my face) and the owner just casually was like ‘want a dog?’ i was like ‘haha, that’s funny. wait, for real?’ what luck. i’ve been thinking about getting another dog for a few years now and here’s an adult dog who i’m assuming (hoping) is potty-trained
highlight of my day 💕

explanation to my absence kinda on here (tw: mention of animal and verbal 4bus3)
hey y'all, I've been trying my best to get some content out here, but I haven't been able to keep my grades up, and so I keep losing my phone for weeks at a time, and its let to me (today and other days) just coming home, taking care of schoolwork and chores, eating and going to bed since my dad doesn't let me in my room after morning and before nighttime anymore (he thinks I'm lazy idfk)
its been rough though especially bc my parents and the rest of my family are neglecting my dog and beating him and such (just one of my two dogs because he has anxiety and isn't the best potty trained) and so I have to take care of him and two other pets my family doesn't care about (on top of everything else going on) but its heartbreaking because I went to bathe my dog so he could sit in the house after about a week of sleeping in the freezing garage with no heaters and when I put him in the tub he was shaking so bad he just drank water for 5 minutes straight because nobody was giving him anything. it doesn't help that my dad decided to waste the only voice he had left from being sick on screaming at me for forgetting my teacher changed a syllabus and I feel like the constant every day cycle of this shit has led to me being less active in doing what I feel like doing
im probably starting an Etsy shop or commissions soon once I get my shit together to raise money to buy my own things so I (for example) cant get my phone taken because I'll have a backup, or buy my own place eventually when I move out. I really hope you guys will understand and I'm sorry for ranting about all of this, its just been really hard and I feel bad about talking to anyone I know since I know no trusted adults I know really counts everything my dad does to us (there's way more, not getting into detail) as abuse when he very obviously has some sort of bipolar disorder and trauma makes it all worse, generational trauma kinda dampened the abuse but its shitty nonetheless.
again, sorry for ranting y'all, just needed to get this off my chest, I'll probably shorten this whole post when I feel better about everything.. I'm staying safe
love you guys, all you moots who like all my posts, I see you thanks for sticking around!!

Some puppy thoughts.
Topaz's potty skills are great. She has had a few accidents inside but it's 100% been on me not timing things right. (I don't know how people do this perfectly. I try really hard and I still mess up a lot and she ends up peeing inside.) This morning I left the backdoor open and she went outside by herself and peed, so I think she has got great skills on her own, she just needs help with access. The other great thing is she doesn't take five hundred years to go either, often she'll go right away. This was what drove my crazy with Marcie as a puppy, she would take forever to actually go and in the middle of the night I couldn't cope.
Yesterday I looked in my blog's archive and saw I was taking Marceline out to parks and the beach at 12 weeks but I don't understand why I wasn't concerned about parvo when this time around I'm feeling really paranoid about it? Something about my state of mind? It's also been hard taking Topaz out when I have three dogs now, not two. Just the logistics of three is a lot harder. Which is kind of why I want to treat it as two sets of two rather than one set of three.
But even though Topaz hasn't been to many "dog places" yet, she's been to lots of other places. Her socialisation list so far:
the vet once
a hardware store once
in the car a million times
at work almost every day for three weeks (in an industrial area and in a two storey office, so multiple different areas and sounds/sights/people)
my mum's house a number of times
my sister's house once
one walk in a trolley (gave up on this after one try because she kept jumping out)
five different parks
a cafe once
one puppy class at a primary school
met my mum's two adult dogs
met my sister's adult dog
met my colleague's adult dog
I think that's pretty good for three weeks. Topaz has had more variety in socialisation than either of my other two dogs had. But I do think I need to take her to a couple of my regular dog places so she can get used to them. I also haven't taken her anywhere with heavy foot traffic or where other dogs could be seen. So this weekend I am going to take her to two high traffic public areas so she can watch.
Puppies are really hard and I am really struggling, but what keeps me going is that she will inevitably get older and it will get easier. Once I can safely bring her to training on Tuesdays and Thursdays it will make it loads easier. I still haven't done much training with her. I am really exhausted before and after work and any extra energy I have I try to give to Luca and Marcie so they aren't neglected. It has gotten easier since Marcie and Topaz became friends though, because they spend the evenings playing together.
Topaz is an easy puppy overall and she's much adored in my workplace. If she maintains this temperament as she matures, I think she will easily become the fan favourite of my dogs. She's a lot more friendly and a lot less aloof than Luca and Marcie, but I know that could change. Marcie really changed; once she was an adult, she became more reserved.
She also sleeps through the night every night! So no complaints there.

Ghost Hounds (Headcanons)
Headcanons, names, personalities and histories of Eris's ghost hounds and loyal companions.
↢ 『 ☾ 』 ↣
Day 4 of @erisweek2023 (Hounds / Autumn Equinox)
a/n: okay. so. i have some very interesting headcanons for eris’s hounds, so here you go. I got bored one day (while preparing Born for Tragedy) and decided “hey! let’s write some history for Eris’s dogs!” also i apologize, i was a bit scatterbrained in this lol
WARNINGS: lightly mentioned domestic abuse (beron. again.) Down towards the bottom, it mentions the loss of a pet. If you wish to skip this, stop reading after Rue (dog name)
↢ 『 ☾ 』 ↣
Okay, so we all know Eris has 12 ghost hounds. I literally have HCs for all of them. Some more than others so let's go through them, shall we?
Eris’s first ghost hound was a birthday gift from his mother. A little puppy appeared at his door miraculously that day and his mother was extremely happy when the boy came in cuddling it in his arms asking if he could keep it. (She told him she got it for him after saying yes)
The puppy was named Percy (recommendation from LOA) and Eris fucking loved that dog. Spoiled the little shit. Percy is BY FAR one of his most loyal dogs.
Percy’s training wasn’t as straightforward as the others’ were, but Percy is also extremely, extremely intelligent and loved Eris to death so he did his best :)
When Percy first witnessed Beron yelling at Eris, he snarled and leaped in front of the boy. The hound got a whipping for it (and still has those scars…) but since then, Eris has loved the dog like none other just as the dog has done for him.
Eris also began hating his father after he hit his doggo because who wouldn’t?? Don’t hit my puppy sir. You will pay for it. Dearly.
Now, when Eris gets a new puppy, Percy is always the one to train them in the basics of being a good puppy. Like potty training, no biting, and KISSES because Percy knows his owner loves them :)
Eris of course takes on the brunt of the training for them all and likes to train them in hunting, tracking and sometimes, for the stronger ones, attacking. Naturally, however, they all learned to defend him (ex. standing in front of him or distracting someone attacking him).
Now, Eris is pretty… well, not liked in the ACOTAR world. We can agree on that. So, when Eris is out and about in the Autumn Court, he often has his doggos with him. If he’s away- the pups get so nervous for him. They just love him so much!
Now, Eris’s next dogs are two females in a litter that he bought himself: Vixen (named for her personality) and Selena (named after a female Eris liked for a while).
Vixen is the equivalent of “I will only listen to one person” and Selena is just happy to be there. Vixen was the first to be trained in “attacking” (also known as Schutzhund for my dog nerds out there) and she was really good at it. She could take down a full-grown fae easily.
A little HC I have about the ghost hounds is that because of their fae blood, some of them can winnow. Vixen is one of the ones who can winnow- but she can’t go very far. (maybe like 15 feet)
Eris was still terrified and overjoyed when he learned of this power though and instantly was trying to strengthen it so that she could use it for every advantage it held.
Selena is a good girl and is very happy. If Eris is sad, she’s coming over there with a big goofy grin and then licking his face and pinning him down like a puppy that won’t sit still while being cleaned. In her mind, Eris is both her owner and her puppy she has to take care of.
The next dog Eris gets is once again bought for himself, but instead of a litter, it was an adult male. Now, this male has already been through a lot. His name was Cadoc and he used to have a mate. The reason his owner was selling him was because his mate died of an incurable sickness.
In my mind, ghost hounds are very like fae. They can winnow, and they are extremely intelligent, just like doggos in real life! But, they also have lovers in the same way. Mates.
So, when Eris did get Cadoc, he was a very sad pupper. He wouldn’t eat, wouldn’t get up, wouldn’t even drink. Eris took to taking care of him very gently. Bringing him his food (more on this in a minute) and water and even hand-feeding him when Cadoc wouldn’t even raise his head. And yes, sometimes it did get down to force feeding, but Eris would not give up on Cadoc. He knew the hound had more to him. He was more than just a breeding stud- he could be amazing!
Briefly, let’s also just mention that Eris feeds his dogs very well. Raw diet with a variety of meat, and other healthy things. (so, envision that really expensive raw dog feedings that we see on social media named the BARF diet for doggos)
Cadoc was still suffering however. Eris did his best, but after a year, there seemed to be no hope.
Unknown to Eris, however, Vixen, his spunky little female who listened to nobody, seemed to take pity on the sad male. She growled and forced him to his feet when Eris arrived and then practically dragged him outside to come on a walk.
Eris found it very endearing, to be honest. Vixen wouldn’t give up on Cadoc either.
Cadoc eventually began to stand on his own in greeting, if even just to avoid a nip from Vixen when she urged him to his feet. He began to trot outside and smell things.
Eris began to train him as well and he took to schutzhund training very easily. The male was bulkier than Percy and was perfect for taking down either fae or deer. Cadoc’s condition began to look up steadily.
His personality began to come out. He was very protective and obedient. He liked to please and he was kind of like the equivalent of a big, gentle giant.
Vixen and Cadoc also grew a lot closer. Because they were trained in similar things, they hung out a lot.
Now- I want you all to imagine a tragic, romantic scene between Vixen and Cadoc and then- yeah. Basically, they become mates. Spunky female and gentle giant.
Cadoc is one of Eris’s most loyal doggos (right behind Percy).
The next puppers aren’t bought by Eris, however. Mama Vanserra has been keeping an eye on Eris and his pups and has the perfect gift in store.
It’s three littermates. Three ghost hound puppies. Nimbus (male), Sorrel (female) and Soot (male). Eris could barely contain his excitement at the gift tho. Like literally, he was close to squealing. He for SURE was catering to his mother’s every need for at least a month. Checking up on her, offering her tea, getting her lunch personally from the kitchens- all little ways to show his appreciation.
Now. Sorrel and Soot are the troublemakers, first off. Nimbus is a little quieter, but he’s one of the strongest ones.
Sorrel is by far one of the fastest ghost hounds Eris owns. Absolutely blazing speed. If only there were enough ghost hounds to race them, huh? Eris tries to find one and manages to get one little competition, but literally, it's just three dogs and obviously, Sorrel wins. The ghost hounds are much too fast to race against like greyhounds or something. And not many have them in the Autumn Court- most have hunting dogs for their good noses.
Nimbus is Eris’s sweet little boy who’s one of the best at cuddling. (though, Selena does come close). The pup just sneaks into his bed in the middle of the night, undetected, and Eris wakes up with an armful of ghost hound. (he loves it)
Soot is forever the troublemaker (equal with Rue, who we will talk about later)
He gets into the food, the chicken coops, the farms, the sheets, the kitchens– all of it. He is a chaotic pup and while Eris can try to tame that troublemaker spirit, he will never break it. Soot is one of his worst in obedience for that reason. But, Eris still loves him of course. How can he not with those adorable almond-colored eyes?!
The next pup actually, is not bought, nor gifted. Vixen was found with a more swollen-than-usual belly and exhausted in her kennel one day (when she didn’t arrive to greet Eris like usual) and Cadoc right beside her, licking her ears.
Eris at first panicked, of course, and thought that Vixen was sick and dying of some horrible thing. A vet reassured him that she was in fact not sick, just tired, needed more food and rest, and that she was pregnant.
After that, he’s honestly even more panicked. He knew this was a possibility, but he’d expected it later! When he’d done his research already!
As soon as possible, he reads every book ever on ghost hounds, pregnancies with dogs and everything related. He even managed to request some books from Day Court’s libraries temporarily.
After he’d done his research, he was still anxious, but less so. He knew what was going on now and what would happen once the pup(s) were born. And what he needed to do to support his pupper.
The pup is born without any issues at all. And Cadoc and Vixen turn out as wonderful parents.
The one pup is a male that Eris names Ash.
Ash has adorable quirks to him. He always barks when Eris comes in and rolls over onto his back once Eris does start petting him and is especially playful with the other dogs. (after all, they were like aunts and uncles to him!)
The next two dogs aren’t related, but I’m grouping them together because I don’t have too many headcanons for them actually:
The next pup is Taunya (female), bought by Eris. She kind of has that “mother” personality. As a pup, she always was licking the other dogs and when she grew up, she often was found urging them toward their food, or resting with them when they were tired.
Nimbus takes a fascination to Taunya specifically (and let’s not get on about some age gap thing. Just look at feysand or nessian, alright?). And yes, they do become mates. Nimbus is extremely protective over Taunya and Eris always laughs when he seems to panic as she goes to cuddle with some other dog as if he’s thinking ��you are so darn hard to protect woman! goodness! quit cuddling with the threats! gods!”
Taunya doesn’t change though, of course. She’s always gonna be the sweet one.
The next pup is a male called Pyro, also bought as a pup by Eris who is just loving the fact his ghost hound obsession is growing and Beron doesn’t seem to mind. I mean, honestly, they’re quite helpful. They come with him to the military and are perfectly behaved, they help him win hunting competitions… all of it.
Pyro is named for his more amber-colored eyes.
This pup has the farthest ability to winnow out of any of the ghost hounds. He’s quite powerful, to be honest. When Eris fully tests it, Pyro is able to winnow from the Winter Court border to the Forest House with ease. Even from the Summer Court border!
Eris doesn’t dare take his dog outside of the Autumn Court except for missions though. He doesn’t want to risk any rumors or threats or harm to his pups.
The next dog has a bit of story. This dog’s name is Rue. A chaotic, insane little pup.
Rue was gifted to Eris by Hue, his brother. Hue actually wanted Rue’s name to be “Hue,” but Eris was not going to allow it and simply settled for something that rhymed. It’s not like it was that bad of a name either. Just confusing when both his brother and dog responded to his call.
Rue is a troublemaker like Soot. However, he’s a bit better at paying attention than Soot and better at sitting and staying. Soot has no self control compared to him.
Rue loves to hunt. Whenever Eris pulls up on his horse with a bow around his shoulders, Rue is up and at ‘em and ready to sprint through the forests to his heart’s content. Even if he’s not as big and strong as Cadoc or as fast as Sorrel, he’s perfectly happy just being there. He’s so enthused when he gets the order to track an animal or catch a rabbit- just so happy.
But, to be completely honest: Rue is the most lazy of the dogs. He groans as he gets up to greet Eris and then proceeds to lay right back down to take a nap. Absolutely loves to nap in the sun.
Eris did have another dog between Jack (later) and Rue. He used to have a dog named Adria. A female who was the best tracking dog that he ever did have.
She was the pup to grow up with Lucien.
However, on that fateful day that Lucien had to run to the Spring Court, Adria followed. Unluckily, she caught an arrow to her chest and died.
She loved to chase deer out of anything, just bounding through the forests.
Eris still misses her (as does Lucien. He didn’t expect the pup to follow him)
The last dog is another pup of Vixen and Cadoc. Eris’s last ghost hound. Jack.
Jack is like Cadoc but not ever having been sad. He’s a happy pup who’s always wagging his tail and barking excitedly at anything and everything. Almost similar to Percy as well.
He was raised before Adria died.
Adria was actually still quite young when Jack was born so they were the best playmates. Even after the female’s death, he was still happy as can be. Eris does see him staring off into the woods she ran off into every once in a while though.
Eris never got another dog after Adria’s death. It hit him so hard. Like a blow to the chest, he just couldn’t do it anymore. So, afterwards, he took to putting most of his energy into the dogs that he already had. He spoiled them rotten after he found Adria’s body on the border that day. He’d care for any future pups that arrive but never buy another dog.
Adria’s grave sits outside of the heated cabin that houses the dog’s kennels. (anyway, im sobbing now, im sorry for that)

Why is your dog intact? No judgement, just genuine interest.
I'm guessing this is about TenSoon, but I'm unsure about context. The reason is pretty cut and dry. I have show dogs, and show dogs are left intact. But I'll go into deeper context as well, just in case.
I don't prefer to surgically alter an adult dog if I don't have to. You'll notice Ten's left ear doesn't stand quite right. This can be surgically altered, but I choose not to and rather just make sure it's dry after swimming so he doesn't get ear infections. His being intact is currently less inconvenient for me than the wonky ear. He has a recall, never gets left to wander the neighborhood, goes everywhere I do, is trained to ignore bitches in heat, is potty trained, is supervised closely with other intact males. If he's especially weird or difficult for my partner to handle and supervise around our own bitch when she's in heat, I'll consider a vasectomy since he should get a gastropexy anyway (both his parents died of bloat) and could likely get both at once.
There are proven health benefits to leaving your dog intact, and proven health drawbacks to spay/neuter. I have no problem with surgeries for human convenience, but I choose not to get them done on my dog if they are proven to be bad for his health. If I do have to alter, I'll likely go with vasectomy or ovary-sparing spay.
TenSoon is a member of a breed that is dying from lack of genetic diversity, and he lacks any genetic markers for the most common health problem in the breed. While Ten has Wobbler's syndrome, he has none of the genetic markers for DCM, which is most dobes have one or more copies of. This is rare enough that a few show breeder friends have suggested to get him collected so that we can save that genetic variety in case the genetic component in Wobbler's can be isolated and bred away from. I don't plan to breed him as is, and would be choosy due to his temperament even if we could isolate the Wobbler's. But why close a door when it's free to leave it open?
I do find it incredibly funny that people get mad that my dog has balls. I find it even funnier when people try to pick apart my masculinity about it. I find it funniest of all to deck him out in pink gear and watch people lose their minds.

Weird to have a supportive family that triggers the fuck out of you. Dad asked me to get dinner, which he paid for, and we ate together. He gave me meat from the freezer.
I tried to help with the puppies, and he didn't like me messing with their routine, and I'm nervous about them resource guarding, and they still have puppy pads in the house because for some reason the rescue they're working with recommends this???
I don't remember the rescue's name, but one of the first things you learn in house training is that if you use pads AND try to get them to pee outside, it can confuse them. You keep them in a room with you, tether them to you, or keep them in a crate until they're potty trained.
They are not doing this.
Little Bit is still scared of the puppies, and it's not funny anymore. I really only thought it was funny the first time because I was able to control the situation and I was trying to keep her safe.
Mom thinks it's fine and that she should get used to them, and tried to bring her up close to the puppies more than once. This is NOT how you're supposed to do it.
They got upset that I put the puppies back in their pen so we could leave in peace. It's the perfect place for them to get used to each other, since they can see each other but can't get to each other, but God forbid I don't follow the schedule exactly.
My dog was shaking when we came in. I was holding her, and the puppies were at my feet. I don't think bringing her over there is worth the stress.
Dad didn't want puppies, mom did, and she's the one who agreed to foster. Mom is also flying a lot, so dad is left to take care of the puppies on his own for long periods of time.
Before all of this, mom invited me to an event so I could meet her friends' adult kids. I know that no one there is going to be masking, or even give a shit about covid.
Called grammy. She's sympathetic about my dog's health issues. She said she'd help. She also said that she doesn't believe in covid.
Dad sent me a promotional email for a job fair. It's in person and I'm sure it's another crowd that doesn't give a shit about masking. I don't even know if I'd be interested in any of the companies there. Maybe some of the remote roles.
I was going to talk about the budget and what's realistic, but dad was tired and sad so I just told him I'd made a little money this week. Someone tipped me $20. It's the most hope I've had in a while. It's also a drop in the bucket. It's a huge deal to me, but I'm going to have to do this about a thousand times over if I want to survive on my own.
I avoided mentioning what it was because I do not want my parents anywhere near my current writing in any way, shape, or form, so I have no idea what he thinks I might be doing. "I get paid per view and people can tip me." What does that sound like? I'm not gonna clarify.
When I see my family I usually stay up even later than usual because I can't deal with it, but I have a vet appointment tomorrow. I can't fuck around this time unless I cancel before 9am, and I don't think I should cancel. I'm stressed about the money.
Dad's stressed about money too. The roof is going to cost about 10k to fix.
I should ask for help finding a therapist. I don't know how to make myself do things. I don't know how to stop feeling sad.
#the last few therapists I've had have been the ones my dad picked out and they were deeply christian#the trump kind#personal

Free pet rat/rodent stuff (portland, OR)

If anyone in the Portland area would like some free rat stuff, DM me. My rats have all passed as of February and we need a break from rat ownership so I hope someone else can give some of this stuff a second life.
item descriptions under the cut.
- One unopened, full bag of Oxbow Essentials adult rat food, (expires Feb 21st, 2025) and one opened bag with about ⅓ left over inside, (expires June 3rd, 2025.)
- One bottle of Meloxicam, good for anti-inflammation, very commonly prescribed to rats but do your research about use and dosage before giving it to any of your animals. Hard to say how much is left, only a little less than a 4th of this 32 ml bottle has been used. Expires 3/31/2026. I gave this to my last rat as he had a genetic issue that affected his breathing and was non-contagious, his cage mates never expressed any of symptoms that he did. Something to do with an over-abundance of naturally-occurring bacteria in his ears and throat, it inhibited his breathing a bit but my vet confirmed it was non-contagious.
- Nine assorted syringes, good for measuring medicine and oral administration. All are unused.
- One half-full bottle of Saline solution, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP. I used this to Nebulize the rat with breathing issues to loosen anything in his airways. About 650 ml is left. Not for injection.
- One yellow fabric Elizabethan Collar for rodents, Mickey Mouse print. Never used.
- Two lightly used, thoroughly cleaned blue corner litter trays. My rats never really got the hang of potty training so I took these out soon after trying and failing, these are practically like new.
- Two medium flat back water bottles. These were used consistently for several years but show very little wear. Washed thoroughly.
- One small water bottle, lightly used, fits perfectly into the hole and loop on the pet carrier for this exact purpose.
- One heavily used purple plastic shallow food dish - used more as a back up bowl for travel. They chewed the lip of the bowl quite a bit, but still does the job.
- Small purple plastic castle hide, lightly used. For its size, better for baby rats.
- A few assorted unused wooden blocks and slices.
- Two large “Space Pod” Igloo hides, lightly used, can stand or be hung from the cage bars.
- One small enrichment toy treasure chest, lightly used. The wooden blocks it came with have since been chewed to bits, but putting obstacles like that with treats inside is good enrichment.
- Two cute tree-themed hammocks, lightly used. One looks like a hollow log and has leaves on it. A couple small chew marks but not much. Quite soft.
- Six assorted animal-print simple square hammocks. Some are lightly used, others are near untouched.
- Two climbing rope squares with carabiners for attaching to cage bars, lightly used.
- One dog tug-of-war rope I took apart and braided for climbing surfaces.
- One multi-sectioned, polkadot hammock with long elastic bands. My rats liked to use this one as an elevator between platforms and was a big favorite. Obviously used but in good shape with no chew marks.
- One small soft-sided pet carrier, lightly used. Can zip to just open one side or completely open to lay flat. Includes a small, plastic grommet hole in the door flap with an elastic loop to hold a small water bottle that sits on the outside and nozzle pokes through to be drank from inside, the smaller water bottle included fits perfectly. Sides are rigid enough to not be chewed through in my experience, but I wouldn’t put that to the test with total no-supervision, definitely a good option for vet trips. Inside has a fabric insert that attaches with velcro and the sides and bottom of the carrier can be wiped down with a damp cloth to clean. It has a really cute punk print on it that says stuff like, “Rebel,” “Hello, my name is Trouble,” “Play Time,” “Talk to the Paw,” “Keep Exploring,” “Rad,” “I <3 Treats,” etc.

From Tiny Titans to Gentle Giants: Raising a Bullmastiff Puppy

The arrival of a Bullmastiff puppy is a cause for celebration. These adorable bundles of fur, with their oversized paws and soulful eyes, quickly steal our hearts. However, beneath the cuteness lies a powerful breed with specific needs. So, before you succumb to the puppy dog eyes and bring home your very own miniature tank, let's delve into the world of Bullmastiff puppies, equipping you with the knowledge to raise a happy, well-adjusted canine companion.
A Crash Course in Cuteness: Bullmastiff Puppy Development
Bullmastiff puppies develop at a rapid pace, going from tiny explorers to sizable companions in a seemingly blink of an eye. Here's a breakdown of their developmental stages:
The Neonatal Stage (0-2 Weeks): Newborn Bullmastiff puppies are entirely dependent on their mother. They are blind and deaf, relying on their sense of smell and touch to locate their mother's warmth and milk. During this stage, minimal handling is recommended, allowing the mother to care for her pups without stress.
The Transitional Stage (2-4 Weeks): Their senses begin to develop, with puppies opening their eyes and ears around 2 weeks old. They start wobbling on their legs and explore their immediate surroundings. This stage is crucial for early socialization with littermates and gentle interaction with humans.
The Socialization Stage (4-12 Weeks): This is a critical period for Bullmastiff puppies. They are eager to learn and explore, making it the ideal time for consistent socialization with people, places, and other animals. Positive experiences during this stage will lay the foundation for a confident and well-adjusted adult dog.
The Juvenile Stage (3-6 Months): Growth continues at a rapid pace, and puppies become increasingly playful and curious. This is prime time for obedience training, focusing on basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Teething also starts around this time, so provide plenty of chew toys to redirect their chewing instincts.
The Adolescent Stage (6 Months-18 Months): Bullmastiff puppies enter their teenage phase, testing boundaries and potentially exhibiting stubbornness. Consistent training and supervision are crucial during this period. Their size can also increase dramatically, requiring adjustments to their exercise routine and environment to avoid joint strain.
Puppy Prep: Creating a Safe and Loving Haven
Before your Bullmastiff puppy arrives, prepare a comfortable and safe space for them to explore and grow. Here's what you'll need:
A Cozy Bed: Provide a soft, comfortable bed where your puppy can rest and feel secure. Choose a size that will accommodate their growth throughout their puppyhood.
Food and Water Bowls: Select stainless steel bowls that are easy to clean and the right size for your growing puppy. Elevating their bowls can improve posture and digestion.
Leash and Collar: Invest in a well-fitting collar and leash appropriate for their initial size. As they grow, you can upgrade to a sturdier option.
Puppy Pads: While potty training is the ultimate goal, puppy pads can be lifesavers during the early stages. Confine them to a designated area to prevent accidents throughout your home.
Safe Haven: Create a designated space, like a crate or playpen, where your puppy can feel secure and relaxed. This can be a helpful tool for crate training and preventing destructive behavior when left unattended.
Toys Galore: Stock up on a variety of chew toys, interactive puzzles, and plush toys to keep your puppy entertained and redirect their chewing instincts. Rotate toys regularly to maintain their interest.
Welcome Home, Little Titan!
The day your Bullmastiff puppy arrives is a joyous occasion. Here are some tips for a smooth transition:
A Gentle Introduction: Allow your puppy to explore their new environment at their own pace. Let them sniff around and greet family members one at a time. Provide plenty of praise and positive reinforcement to create a sense of security.
Potty Training Patience: Accidents are inevitable during potty training. Be patient, consistent, and reward successes with treats and praise. Confine your puppy to a designated area or use puppy pads until they become more reliable with elimination outdoors.
Establishing a Routine: Create a consistent routine for meals, walks, playtime, and sleep. This predictability helps your puppy adjust to their new home and learn good habits.
Socialization is Key: Expose your Bullmastiff puppy to different people, places, and other animals during their socialization window. Enroll them in puppy kindergarten classes or arrange playdates with well-socialized dogs. Positive experiences during this crucial stage will help your puppy develop into a confident and well-adjusted adult.
The Power of Positive Reinforcement
Bullmastiffs respond best to positive reinforcement training methods. Shouting or harsh corrections will only make them withdrawn or stubborn. Here are some tips for successful training:
Reward Good Behavior: Always praise and reward your puppy with treats, toys, or affection when they exhibit good behavior or respond correctly to commands. This positive reinforcement will encourage them to repeat the desired behavior.
Keep it Short and Sweet: Training sessions for Bullmastiff puppies should be short and engaging. Aim for 5-10 minute sessions several times a day rather than overwhelming them with long training periods.
Patience is a Virtue: Remember, puppies are still learning. Be patient, consistent, and positive in your approach. Repetition and positive reinforcement are key to achieving successful training outcomes.
The Importance of Playtime
Playtime is not just for fun; it's an essential part of your Bullmastiff puppy's development. Here's how playtime benefits your furry friend:
Physical Exercise: Playtime helps puppies burn off their seemingly endless energy, promoting healthy growth and development. Engage them in games of fetch, tug-of-war (be prepared for some serious pulling power!), or chase in a safe, enclosed area.
Mental Stimulation: Interactive toys and games challenge your puppy's mind and keep them entertained. This helps prevent boredom-induced destructive behavior.
Bonding Time: Playtime is a fantastic way to bond with your puppy. It creates positive associations with you and strengthens the foundation of your relationship.
Puppyproofing Your Home: A Preventative Measure
Bullmastiff puppies are curious explorers with a penchant for chewing. Puppy-proofing your home is crucial to prevent accidents and protect your belongings. Here's how:
Block Off Hazardous Areas: Block access to electrical cords, wires, cleaning supplies, and anything else a curious puppy might chew on or ingest. Use baby gates to restrict access to off-limits areas like kitchens or bedrooms.
Put Away Valuables: Remove any breakable items or valuables from puppy height. Expect some furniture to be gnawed on, so provide plenty of chew toys to redirect their chewing instincts.
Secure the Trash: A garbage can overflowing with goodies is an irresistible temptation for puppies. Keep trash cans secured with lids or place them in a location inaccessible to curious paws.
The Chewing Challenge: Keeping Your Belongings Safe
Chewing is a natural behavior for puppies as they explore the world with their mouths. Here's how to manage your Bullmastiff puppy's chewing habit:
Provide Chew Toys: Offer a variety of chew toys made from safe materials like rubber or nylon. Rotate the toys regularly to maintain their interest. Frozen Kong toys stuffed with treats can provide long-lasting chewing satisfaction.
Redirect Chewing: When you catch your puppy chewing on something inappropriate, firmly but gently say "no" and offer them an appropriate chew toy instead. Reward them for focusing their chewing on the designated toy.
Bitter Apple Spray: A light spritz of bitter apple spray on furniture legs or other off-limit items can deter chewing (ensure it's safe for pets). However, this should be used as a last resort and paired with positive reinforcement for appropriate chewing behavior.
The Joys and Challenges of Raising a Bullmastiff Puppy
Raising a Bullmastiff puppy is a rewarding experience filled with laughter, unconditional love, and adorable moments. However, their size and strength can also present challenges. Here's a realistic look at what to expect:
The Unending Energy: Bullmastiff puppies have a seemingly endless supply of energy. Be prepared for frequent walks, playtime sessions, and plenty of opportunities for them to burn off their steam.
The Rapid Growth: These puppies grow at an astonishing pace. Be prepared to update their food portions, collar size, and bed as they transform from tiny explorers to sizable companions.
The Power of Play Biting: Puppies explore the world with their mouths, and play biting can be a common issue. Teach them bite inhibition early on, using redirects and positive reinforcement to discourage nipping and mouthing.
The Stubborn Streak: Bullmastiffs can have a stubborn streak, especially during adolescence. Consistent, patient training and positive reinforcement are key to overcoming any challenges and ensuring good behavior.
Living Large: Caring for Your Bullmastiff Puppy
Owning a Bullmastiff puppy comes with a responsibility to provide them with the care they need to thrive. Here are some essential aspects of Bullmastiff puppy care:
Nutrition for Growth: Bullmastiff puppies require a high-quality puppy food formulated for large breeds. Consult your veterinarian to determine the right amount and type of food to support their healthy development.
The Importance of Exercise: While not overly energetic, Bullmastiff puppies still need regular exercise to develop strong muscles and bones. Short, controlled walks and playtime sessions are ideal, focusing on obedience training during these outings. Avoid strenuous exercise until their growth plates close to prevent joint strain.
Grooming Essentials: Bullmastiffs have a short, double coat that requires minimal grooming. Regular brushing with a soft bristle brush will remove dead hair and keep their coat shiny. Bathing is only necessary a few times a year or when they get particularly dirty.
Veterinary Care: Regular vet checkups are essential for your Bullmastiff puppy's health. These visits allow your vet to monitor their growth, administer vaccinations, and address any potential health concerns early on. Discuss preventative measures like deworming and parasite control with your veterinarian.
Building a Bond of Trust: Communication with Your Puppy
Communication is key to building a strong and lasting bond with your Bullmastiff puppy. Here are some tips for effective communication:
Understanding Body Language: Learn to read your puppy's body language. Tail wags and relaxed posture indicate happiness, while flattened ears and a tucked tail signal fear or anxiety. Understanding their body language allows you to respond appropriately and build trust.
Consistent Commands: Use clear, consistent commands when training and interacting with your puppy. Avoid using confusing nicknames or inconsistent phrases, which can lead to confusion.
Positive Reinforcement: Always reward desired behaviors with praise, treats, or affection. This positive reinforcement strengthens your bond and encourages good behavior.
From Puppyhood to Adulthood: A Journey of Love and Learning
Raising a Bullmastiff puppy is a journey filled with heartwarming moments, playful antics, and the challenges that come with raising any large breed. By providing them with love, consistent training, proper care, and a safe environment to explore, you'll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion for years to come.
Remember, patience, positive reinforcement, and a commitment to their well-being are the cornerstones of raising a happy, well-adjusted Bullmastiff. So, are you ready to embark on this incredible adventure? With dedication and a whole lot of love, you can create a bond with your Bullmastiff that will last a lifetime.
Bonus Tip: Consider enrolling your Bullmastiff puppy in puppy kindergarten classes. These classes provide an excellent opportunity for socialization, basic obedience training, and exposure to new experiences in a controlled and positive environment.
A Watchful Protector: For The Progression Of The Ages
Mastiffs, gentle giants with ancient roots, come in various breeds. Loyal guardians with calm temperaments, they require ample space, training, and experienced owners due to their size and strength. Though some breeds have wrinkles, all Mastiffs offer a lifetime of devotion.

Week 1
Socialization
Watching people and dogs politely when they pass (so so atm, a little wary of people and then warms up VERY fast, and over excited of dogs)
Exposure to different surfaces/regular outdoor objects (grass, mud, bark, weird trees, parking lots, storm drains, etc)
Car/truck watching (wary here as well)
Vet visit! Car ride, everything about being at the vet (strangers touching her, being manipulated, doing her new skills in a new location, smells, sounds, things in her mouth ears and ass, being taken back for shots & nasal spray...) etc etc etc
Household noises (garbage disposal, children/adults outdoors, dish washer, oven, microwave, electric kettle, white noise machine, every possible noise from computers, shower fan, etc). Have NOT done the vacuum yet.
Outside of the vet have met a couple people, a nice young man who lives across the hallway, and a woman + two of her kids (aged about 1 and 4) and STROLLER. Big victory all around for K'seil who thought this was all delightful once she thought about it.
Went to the park today and was exposed to LOTS of screamy children, a few strange dogs, adults chatting, playground equipment (visual only), etc etc etc.
In-home skills
Play with Hazard in the morning/afternoon can be largely uninterrupted, he's doing much better at handicapping himself. Evenings are still a struggle. She's not afraid of him at all anymore.
She does need to be supervised when she goes to interact with Penny. She's trying VERY hard to get her to play (play-bows and everything) and Penny is Not Interested.
Potty training is...coming along. We've yet to have a day without accidents. They're no longer entirely my fault (I mean, they are, but not because I'm delaying taking her out). The last couple days they've been more because she was busy and got distracted and peed. She's perfectly happy to pee/poop outside, anywhere as long as it's grass (sure), on leash, etc.
I now have a bucket inside her pen fastened so it's HARDER to tip over, and a "splash proof" bowl outside her pen. This has dramatically reduced the amount of digging behavior in water. I live in hope we'll be able to go back to the regular bowls by the time she's a teen.
She's good about going in/being put in her crate or pen--thus far I haven't put them on cue or gotten a voluntary entry, I'm mostly putting food in and releasing her to go in. Once in, she might fuss a bit (especially in the crate at night) but then passes out. Overnight she only fusses if she has to pee.
Reinforcement skills
Did not come with the ability to find food on the ground (lmao bless, I love babies), now knows how to do that and is getting better at finding treat scatters
Treat scatter will be on "find it" but that's a WIP
Knows both the clicker and "yes", and today was able to distinguish between two clickers (box vs button) and remember which one was 'hers'. Both refer to treat delivery from hand (or if you're FRAGILE and TENDER, on the ground).
Can work a snuffle mat and snoop, will introduce other treat dispensing puzzles next week
Worked out like, half of the kong with canned dog food. I'll try again with kibbles mixed in.
Tug is eh, she'll tug a bit but won't bring it back at all
Fetch is nonexistent 🤣
Can usually follow a tossed treat
Cues
Sit: Hand signal and verbal sometimes. Came preinstalled with sit as a mand behavior
Touch: Sometimes.
K'seil as a focus: MUCH better than it should be for the amount of work we've done tbh!
recall is currently pup-pup-pup-puppy!!! which she's very good at
#i see littermate owners teaching like heel and wait with treats on paws and i'm like#whatever she loves me we'll go from there#she loves me she trusts me she'll come to me outside if she's scared#everything else can come later#bucket full of starlight#training log

not shaming anyone whos had puppy blues bc this is a bit different and puppy blues are not shameful or wrong.. .but what tf is up with people who bring home like, an 8-10 week old puppy and within days get frustrated when the puppy does super normal puppy behaviors (crying a little; needing to pee often; teething). it seems to be more of a thing with people who have never had a dog or puppy before and somehow just thought puppies were like. images on google. idk its just weird to me, if you dont like crying puppies or arent prepared to potty train a dog then get an adult dog..
#gab gabs#not shading anyone here just see reddit posts like this every so often#and also one of my clients is. so weird about her puppy

10 First-Time Dog Owner Mistakes and How To Avoid Them

The love between a dog and their owner is extraordinary; there’s nothing else like it. Having the opportunity to experience this unconditional love is one of the many reasons why getting a dog for the first time is so exciting.
However, between the cuddles, kisses, and games of fetch, owning a dog is a huge responsibility. Whether you’re bringing a new puppy or an adult dog into your family, it’s up to you to make sure your canine companion is happy, healthy, and safe.
So if you’re a first-time dog owner – or just want to brush up on your knowledge – you’ve come to the right place. Here are 10 common first-time dog owner mistakes and tips for avoiding them.

1. Getting a dog before you’re ready
If you’re thinking about getting a dog, it can be easy to act too quickly – and run down to the nearest animal shelter or start researching reputable breeders. Dog ownership is a big responsibility and a long-term commitment. There are a variety of things to consider before deciding whether you’re ready to get a dog, especially if you’re a first-time owner, such as:
Time: Do you have enough time in your schedule to spend training, walking, and caring for a dog?
Lifestyle: Is your lifestyle suitable for a canine addition? Are you willing to change your schedule for a new puppy or dog?
Living space: Will a dog fit in with your living space? Do you have other family members or pets who may be affected by adding a dog to your household?
Cost: Can you afford to get a dog? Think about the costs of dog food, treats, toys, vaccinations, vet checkups, grooming, and other possible expenses.
Type of dog: Do you know which kind of dog is right for you? Are you looking for a purebred or a mixed breed dog? Do you know what kind of dog may work best with your lifestyle, activity level, and personality?
Considering questions like these can help prevent you from making an early mistake – getting a dog before you’re ready – and prepare you for the full scope of dog ownership.
2. Not creating a plan for house training
If you get an older dog, you may not have to worry as much about house training, but new puppy owners and those who adopt younger dogs will need a plan for potty training.
If you neglect this crucial training early in your dog’s life, the more likely your pup is to have accidents in the house, and the more difficult it will be for you to leave, even for short periods of time. It can be helpful to create a potty training plan even before you bring your new dog home and get all family members on board.
When you do bring your new puppy or dog home, you’ll want to make sure they have an established place to go to the bathroom, you take them out for regular potty breaks, and use positive reinforcement for good behavior.
If you decide to crate train your puppy, the crate can be a useful tool for house training. Crates or kennels take advantage of the “denning instinct,” meaning dogs are more likely to use the bathroom away from where they eat and sleep. Crate training also gives your canine companion a safe space to call their own.

3. Not properly socializing your dog
Early socialization for a puppy or a new dog is important to creating a healthy and well-behaved companion. If your dog is well-socialized early in life, the less likely they are to become anxious or scared in unfamiliar situations or develop aggressive behaviors as adults.
As a new dog owner, you’ll want to socialize your pup with different sights, sounds, places, people, and experiences. If you have a new puppy, socialization is particularly critical, especially within the first three months. During this time, you’ll want to introduce them to as many new positive experiences as you can – and keep reinforcing those experiences as your pup grows.
You can try activities like walking down the street, visiting a pet store, playing with new dog toys, arranging a puppy playdate, going to the dog park, and more. Of course, before you interact with other dogs, you’ll want to make sure your puppy or dog has received all of their required vaccinations to keep everyone safe.
4. Skipping basic obedience training
As a first-time dog owner, it may be easy to get overwhelmed by all the fun and excitement of having a new doggy best friend and skip out when it comes to laying down the rules. All canines, however, can benefit from basic dog training. And while some dogs may need more training than others, it’s important that you work through the basics with your new pup.
Basic dog training, like socialization exercises and leash training, will help you create a routine and reward good behavior. Teaching your dog basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come” can help your dog become a well-mannered companion in all types of environments, as well as keep them safe in unfamiliar situations.
So, whether you decide to teach your dog at home, get private lessons from a dog trainer, or find dog training classes near you, you’ll want to make sure you invest in the basics – at a minimum. If your pooch has an apt for training, you might take things to the next level and get involved in tricks or dog sports.

5. Overfeeding
As a new pet parent or even as an experienced one, it is possible to think that giving your furry friend a few table scraps or extra treats won't hurt them. However, pet obesity is a prevalent issue that should not be overlooked. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 56% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese. Therefore, it is essential to be mindful of your pet's diet to ensure that they maintain a healthy weight.
And even just a little extra weight can cause a variety of health problems for dogs. Excess weight can lower a dog’s life expectancy and make it more difficult to manage common health issues, such as joint pain, injuries, and arthritis, as they age.
Conversely, keeping your dog at a healthy weight can help lower their risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, respiratory disease, kidney disease, and some forms of cancer.
The best thing you can do for your dog’s long-term well-being, therefore, is to feed them a balanced diet with high-quality ingredients. You’ll want to avoid any excess treats or table scraps and make sure they’re getting enough exercise. If your dog already has a weight problem, you can consult your veterinarian for advice on the safest and most effective way to shed the pounds.
6. Forgetting regular vet visits
You’ve remembered the key visits to the veterinarian as a new pet owner – your dog has all their core vaccinations and they’ve been in for spaying or neutering. So, once that annual checkup reminder arrives, it may be all too easy to forget the appointment.
Although your dog might prefer to skip the appointment too, taking your pup for regular vet appointments is one of the most important parts of their preventative care. When you take your dog for an annual checkup, your vet performs a physical exam – checking their vitals, weight, teeth, lungs, heart – and running any tests they think might be necessary. If something is cause for concern, your vet can address it and suggest options for treatment.
During these visits, your vet will also give your dog any vaccine boosters (which your pup might need more frequently for doggy daycare or boarding), as well as discuss prevention for things like heartworm, fleas, ticks, and other parasites. If you have any questions or concerns about your dog’s health, you can talk to your veterinarian about them at these visits.
As your canine companion gets older, these visits will become even more important, especially if they develop any health issues. Your dog may not love the trip, but these regular vet checkups will help them stay healthy – ultimately, allowing them to spend more time with you.

7. Not getting enough exercise
Dogs have different energy levels and activity needs, but each pup will need some form of regular exercise. If your dog doesn’t get regular exercise – both physically and mentally – the more likely they are to develop both weight and behavioral issues.
As you might expect, a dog that isn’t getting enough exercise is more likely to gain weight, but they also may take out their extra energy in other ways, such as chewing, barking, or other destructive behaviors.
In general, your dog should get a minimum of 30 minutes of vigorous exercise every day, which might include activities like walking, running, swimming, or playing fetch. Some dog breeds, of course, have higher energy levels and activity needs, whereas others are more low-maintenance.
It’s helpful to understand the exercise requirements of your kind of dog to make sure they’re getting the time they need. Labrador Retrievers, for example, are high-energy and playful dogs that are easily trainable. These dogs are also prone to obesity, however, making exercise even more important.
And don’t forget about mental exercise too – playtime and training practice can help dogs work their minds and release some energy as well.
8. Overlooking behavioral issues
As pet parents, we all want to see the best in our pups – and sometimes, love can make us a little blind. But after a neighbor complains again and again about your dog’s barking, it becomes harder to tell yourself, “Oh, my dog wouldn’t do that.”
There are a variety of reasons as to why your dog may develop or display certain behavior issues. Your dog may be trying to communicate that they’re anxious or upset. They might have an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed by your veterinarian. Your pup may have experienced a change in their environment or routine that is causing them to act out.
Whatever the reason, it’s important to recognize what’s going on and work to get it resolved. Common behavior issues, such as separation anxiety, barking, or chewing, can often be addressed with specific training strategies. Some other issues, like growling, biting, or other aggressive behavior might require working with a professional dog trainer.
In any case, if you’re not sure what’s causing your dog’s change in behavior or you’re having trouble dealing with a particular problem, it can be helpful to consult with your veterinarian or a professional trainer for advice.

9. Not getting your dog comfortable with grooming
They may seem like easy enough tasks – giving a dog a bath, brushing their coat, trimming their nails, brushing their teeth – these are all things that help our pups look and feel their best. Grooming is also an essential part of pet care.
If your dog’s nails grow too long and aren’t trimmed, they can cause health and mobility issues. Similarly, if your dog’s teeth aren’t regularly brushed, they’re more likely to develop dental disease. And of course, depending on the type of coat your dog has, regular brushing helps remove dead hair and prevents matting.
Getting your dog to cooperate with all of these grooming processes, however, is not always as simple as you might think – especially if they’re already anxious in unfamiliar situations or environments. This is why getting your dog comfortable with grooming early in life, whether with you at home or with a professional groomer, is so important.
How do you go about this process? Just like introducing your dog to other unfamiliar situations, it’s best to start slowly and with lots of positive reinforcement.

10. Not preparing for emergencies
No pet owner likes to think about the unexpected, but sometimes, emergencies happen. The best thing anyone can do – especially if you’re a first-time dog owner – is to be prepared.
One way to prepare for emergencies is to get your dog microchipped. With a microchip, you have a way to find your dog using radio waves in the device if your pup ever gets lost. Even if you don’t plan on letting your dog go off-leash, or you have a fenced-in yard, this simple and safe procedure can help you find your dog if they get lost.
Another thing you can do is to prepare an emergency kit. In your emergency kit, you should include anything that you would need for your dog in case you needed to evacuate or leave your home immediately. The kit might include dog food, a dog bed, a water bowl, some toys, a blanket or towel, an extra leash, dog bags, any medications, and information about local emergency response centers.

Hello! My name is Marge and I am a female adult (4-6 years) cat looking for my forever kingdom! **Marge needs a patient home that will go at her speed** **I've been with my amazing foster mum for 9months and just 2months ago started letting her touch me, pet me, and now I find myself wanting to be near her and enjoy brushing up against her and started purring** - Scaredy cat is my current nickname. I hate that my guard is up these days but I can’t wait to find a forever home where I can fully let it down. - Cat person, dog person, can you just be my person? I act like I haven’t had a solid family in a while so I’m really hoping to find them soon. I know I’ll be a bit of a scaredy cat at first but I can’t wait to feel comfortable with a new family and purrr all day. - No murderers in the building here. When it’s pitch black and everyone is asleep, that’s when I’m on alert. My favorite time to explore is at night when I feel like no one is watching… -Wondered what it’s like to have a cute stuffed animal as a pet? That’s basically me! I’m fully potty trained and super adorable so it’s just like if your favorite teddy bear also knew how to meow and wander around. - Let’s sleep all day, and night, and during the day, then again at night please! I’m a sleepy kitty who truly is happiest finding a bright patch of sun to claim mine and not move from it for hours.
