My doggo, Ezri, who rarely barks and mostly borks.
When I got her, she’d been abused and would cower and pee at almost everything, and had been mistreated when she’d barked, so she never would. One day months after I had her she got excited on a walk and borked at a bird, and then immediately cower-peed. I had to re-teach her to bark by gathering her whole human pack and having everyone bark and howl and feed her treats and pet her till she got excited enough to join in, and then got more treats. Took a while but I was able to teach her to bork on command (and she’s gotta be excited or she just stares at me like “Sorry, the bork system needs charging”) and she’ll do it happily when she’s excited to go for a walk or upon seeing a friend, and at birds. I love her croaky borking, especially when she started off terrified of making a joyful noise.
What kind of dog is Ezri? I love her!!
I… did not expect this post to blow up this much but I am delighted at all the tags and replies and Ezri has been told the internet thinks she’s a Very Good Dog. :D
She’s a German spitz - in the same family as keeshonds and pomeranians. She might be crossed with something else as her freckled coat, non-pointy nose, and personality are not standard for her breed (they’re usually a lot more high energy and excitable - she’s super laid back and chill). She’s a bit less fluffy than breed-standard too, mostly because she’s grown out from her spring/summer trim (not usually necessary/good for her type of coat but she gets terribly itchy otherwise). It also makes her look like a puppy of a large breed:
Ezri’s best friend is Murder Cat, who is a gentle friend to humans and Ezri, but does things to mice that would make Hannibal Lecter go “Isn’t that a bit much?”
I got Murder Cat as a kitten, and she used to try to nurse on everything when she was small. Eventually, she settled on her favourite thing to nurse on, Ezri, who has never had puppies and a little confused at first but eventually went with it. She grew out of it, but they have stayed snuggly buddies ever since.
New Years here is full of fireworks outside and Ezri gets Vry Scared. I usually set her up somewhere with a snuggly spot right by me, and Murder Cat comes and does this all night:
She goes everywhere with me in my bakfiets (cargo bike) and lets me warm my hands in her fur on cold days.
And her ears disappear if I say her name to get her attention.
ok so great thanks for coming to my TED talk about my dog, good night, drive safe
Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs
jesus that is good to know.
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS
this post just got so much better
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE POST
The second gif 😍😭
BLESS
I’m gonna reblog this forever and ever and ever and ever
this is arcane knowledge that the human mind cant comprehend
honestly what the fuck does this mean
“Don’t stress yourselves out about it, but don’t ignore the situation”
Long Live Timeless...
AND BRING ON ALL THE PRETENDERS,
I’M NOT AFRAID.
LONG LIVE THE WALLS WE CRASHED THROUGH.
I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE,
WITH YOU.
I say it every time but we don’t talk enough about the sheer strength of the emotional bond they have. And how that love bleeds through to people outside of the cluster
We see it in Capheus when he greets Rajan like an old friend, calls Felix his brother the moment they first meet. Riley when she tells Diego someone she only met for a few hours that she missed him with such profound sincerity. Lito when he screams “Family, we’re coming!” Because Amanita, the girl who makes Nomi feel beautiful and loved is now his as well. It’s Wolfgang swearing to protect Nomi’s sister and destroy anyone that harms her, because he would die for his family and now his family also includes his clusters loved ones. Will trying to stop sun from breaking her ownheart even more because he can feel the desperation and hurt raging in her, the love that she still holds for a brother who never loved her. The way that they never ever question someone outside of the cluster coming joining them. Dani, Hernando, Bug, Amanita, Mun, and Rajan are all welcome from the moment they arrive because the others can feel that deep rooted trust, that love, and it puts them at ease.
And it’s beautiful because it really brings home the message that love conquers all.
