#y'all are enabling me to draw bleach characters with dogs

[nostalgia-artlog]

Hi! Love the blog! We've seen two captains and the trouble they have with their dogs but does anyone else have any issues is everybody good

Thank you so much!Hm let’s see.There are some doodles I’m planning, so I won’t say everything, but here’s an overview:Yamamoto’s collie was originally just a pet, but now helps out with tasks that are tricky to do with one hand. It can close doors, and open file cabinets. Rumors say it can fetch tea and not spill any of it.

Sasakibe has an entire wardrobe for his corgi.

Soi Fon’s dobermann and Omaeda’s Shar Pei actually get along really well, and are best friends. The Shar Pei is a little overweight and can’t play as long as the dobie, which makes the dobie very sad.

Bath days for Rose’s Afghan hound are spectacular in how long it takes to shampoo and blow-dry one dog. Kira helps, of course. The dog is, at least, incredibly well behaved, so it’s not as bad an experience as it could be.

4th’s dogs act as therapy animals for the patients. They are both very protective of all the people in 4th (and of Hanataro’s chickens) and have been known to bite the odd 11th member who was just too rowdy.

Momo’s dog can do everything. Everything.

Byakuya’s Akita is perfect 99% of the time, with the 1% usually being because of Renji’s Kai, who is feisty and bold. The Kai also likes to go swimming in the Kuchiki fish pond, much to Byakuya’s annoyance. Rumors say the two dogs once took off into the mountains and hunted a giant bear.

Nanao’s collie is really damn smart.

Hitsugaya’s Samoyed is a cuddle bug that always wants hugs and pets. And always leaves clouds of hair in its wake. Rangiku’s collie is pretty much the same. Once or twice a year both dogs “blow their coats”, which is to say they shed in clumps. No one in the 10th can keep a uniform black when this happens.

11th doesn’t really ‘keep’ that monstrous prehistoric dog that came from who-knows-where. It just sort of roams the courtyard. People are encouraged to travel in pairs or in groups, particularly at night. They do feed it, if only to discourage it from potentially eating someone. Curiously, it likes Yachiru and it likes her little chihuahua. It’s entirely possible it just doesn’t realize the tiny dog even is a dog.

The little chihuahua knows it’s actually the biggest dog in the entire freakin’ world, and acts accordingly. All tremble before its little kazoo-growl. It seems to dislike Ikkaku especially.

Ukitake’s borzoi is super chill, and will lovingly lean on anyone who pets it. Rukia’s Schipperke occasionally shreds a plushie or a pillow, but is otherwise ok. It does have a tendency to bark a lot, though.

Do send asks for individual characters or squads! I don’t get tired of doodling for this pet AU thing!
