i could say a lot about flying with a service dog & the way ppl behave toward me for better & worse but what i never expected is how strongly people react to her shoes. walking through an airport with a dog that’s wearing shoes feels like being an A-list celebrity who needs a security team. people just photograph and record us without asking—not nice—but I do love listening to ppl’s reactions as we go by. every thirty seconds—not an exaggeration—I hear “oh my god look that dog’s in shoes.” once at baggage claim a woman was running to hug someone waiting for her, and she stopped just before the hug, turned to us and went “that dog’s in shoes!!” like literally she swerved out of the hug for it. a family who was late for their flight sprinted by me at full speed & the child with them yelled “DOG IN SHOES” and they all turned to look and one of them tripped over their baggage.
i usually board first and one time the pilots walked to my seat before anyone else had boarded & they said “i’m so sorry. we heard there’s a dog in shoes out here.” i guess one of the flight attendants told them.
in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know
a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going
wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that
they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not
a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting
a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed
if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now
young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it
letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day
~Looks like Lord Huron are getting ready to announce new music and I am beyond excited. Been following the happenings of the tour and the payphone intrigued me so I had to draw a lil thing inspired by it~
