#remember the 11 hours at the vet with your dog

[innocent-until-proven-geeky]

Reminder to my fellow autists—and really anyone—that if you have a meltdown or shutdown or something that seems inconsequential, there were probably a hundred and one other things that led up to it.

You don’t have to and probably shouldn’t examine those things in the MIDDLE of the meltdown or shutdown. That will be difficult to do and might make things worse, depending on how your brain works. But when you’ve started to calm down a bit and you’re beating yourself up for melting down over something “so little,” remember the stuff that came before it.

[ovaruling]

You made a post earlier about how you are feeding stray cats. Since it seems like you're very concerned about the environment I wonder why you are doing this. Aren't stray/outdoor cats horrible for the environment? Mostly because they kill animals that are actually important for nature like birds and rodents. Not trying to be rude just wondering why you think feeding them is a good idea, because it's basically helping a population that has no place in nature and does nothing but harm.

look, i’m not without my weaknesses—i can’t look at a starving stray cat and not feed it. maybe others can, but i can’t. i never claimed to be a paragon.

however, i must clarify something and also point out that i think im doing my part more than your average stray-feeder—i spend 1-2 hours each day trying to trap the cats. every day, from 4-5pm and sometimes later. i drop what im doing to spend time on it.

i have a folding chair to sit on and stake them out, a new implement of a bathroom mirror from a construction site that i set up next to the feeding station (to see the cats without startling them), and a large dog crate in which i put the food.

i recently caught 2 of the said stray cats last week and had them fixed and they will no longer be contributing to the environmental decline, nor will they ever produce litters. i’m working on a third.

i feed on my own property and i have caught and fixed and thus removed from the environment approximately 20 or more cats since i was like, i can’t remember—10, 11, 12. somewhere around there—i was in some degree of childhood when i started. i still use the same large dog crates i had back then to catch them. it takes weeks, sometimes months. sometimes a year or more in the case of my toughest one, an aggressive feral male who was causing issues in the neighborhood and who is now my housecat and best friend and wreaks no more havoc. i didn’t give up on him and it ended up being for the better bc no one else was going to give enough of a shit to spend the time it was going to take to catch him. (i’ve said this before but, i had to go on 3 rounds of antibiotics bc he kept biting me horribly every time i tried to catch him)

all this to say: my success in catching stray cats is owed largely to my patience and my willingness to spend hours gaining their trust by feeding them and having them associate my presence with food and fresh water.

so i know it’s not without criticism to feed them, but i do put in hours and hours each week feeding these strays specifically to try to catch them—and i often succeed. (edit: i don’t always. there are a few cats i don’t know if i’ll ever be able to catch, but i won’t stop trying.)

this is what ive been doing my whole life and i will continue to try to make an impact on my local environment in this unique way. i don’t expect others to understand my methods and the specific way that i do things (it’s different for each cat depending on how i assess their personality and needs and habits etc etc), but the fact that i’ve removed 20 or more strays from my neighborhood over the last decade or so is an impact that matters, i think.

especially since i pay out of my own pocket to take them to the vet, to fix them, vaccinate them, and treat them for any and all ailments, and i also have housed them myself or rehomed them. it’s a huge drain on my resources but it’s one i am happy to do for the rest of my life. not least bc no one else in my area is bothering to do anything about them.

so—take that for what you will. that’s my contribution and it’s not perfect but i think i do a good job at reducing the number of stray cats in my local ecosystem and i have to conclude that because of that i MUST have reduced a lot of the environmental destruction that they would’ve otherwise done. much better than anyone else who lives around here, that’s for sure.

tl;dr—i am basically doing the job my local animal care & control is supposed to be doing about stray cats, for free, by myself, at my own expense and on my own time—and i 100% cannot do that job without feeding them

edit: i didn’t mean for this to sound as defensive and doth protesting as it did—i realize i’ve never quite explained exactly What it is i do with regard to stray and feral cats, and of course i can’t expect others to read my mind or know my life and motivations just from scattered posts i make lol. i hope i answered your question somewhat, and im happy to answer any more that you have.

A tribute to our dog Missy - 21/11/08-24/12/22

I am sad to say that today is the inevitable day that we have had to say goodbye to our darling Missy. I am gutted and heartbroken, but thankful for the energetic and happy life of love she has had with us. A few months where she has been challenged by health struggles culminated in seizures, and though we wished this day never came it has done.

As I said I take comfort in what a happy and long dog’s life she had. When we got her in January 2009 following the passing of our first family dog Sally who we rescued middle age the October before, though it was a shock to the system having a puppy into everything, she was exactly what we needed as a family to bring us the joy that sharing our life with one of these characteristic and charming animals brings. I still vividly remember the puppy days when she chewed everything including the bottom of my pajamas one morning! Sally weirdly never barked but for particular occasions so I’d never known what it was having a barking dog in the house when we got Missy. That deep loud bark is what I’ll always remember her for. As well as her voracious appetite. She was a feisty one, and certainly wasn’t the Cocker Spaniel we brought her as (she was advertised as working cocker but obviously looks springer so we’ve always referred to her as Sprocker Spaniel) but soon grew to be a beautiful young dog who we adored and loved and became such a big part of all of our lives. A loyal companion through any moment who loved running, playing and getting out for walks. A lovely dog to have beside us on New Forest walks and other places in the countryside. In the town we made enduring friendships with people through a group of dogs that would gather on Grantham Green, vital parts of her play time and interaction with other dogs.

I think it was the making of her though when we let her have a litter of puppies nearly two years after getting her which gave us an experience we shall never forget. And in the years after she maintained a formidable bond with the puppy of her’s we kept, the dearly departed and much missed Ruby. They were the dynamic duo of love and fun, and their devotion to each other was astonishing to witness. Whilst her brave daughter defied the odds to battle on with cancer and get four and a bit bonus years, bar the arthritis Missy lived healthy years and as if no time had passed at all she made it to the impressive age of fourteen. The last few months have been hard as we watched her deteriorate, the last few years to an extent too as she was lost without Ruby and aged greatly and we made the most of the time we had with this dog, but like with Ruby two years ago whilst we knew this day would come it does not make it any easier.

Part of me is happy she was outdoors a place she loved to be when her final hours beckoned, and as the rush to the out of hours vets who have been brilliant tonight ensued I caught sight of Ruby’s face on my Mum’s phone case laid on the car seat. It was as though Ruby was waiting by the gates of doggy heaven, ready to greet her Mummy with a sock or something else in her mouth as she did us when we’d come home and this time lick her (Missy still washed her as though she was a puppy when she was grown). Somewhere behind her Sally is there, probably laid down asleep but soon she’ll prick up and finally meet the whippersnapper who filled her shoes. Rest in peace Missy, and thank you for everything you have done for us. I shall miss your kisses, breaking off bits of biscuits for you, you coming to find me upstairs when I’d put something in the microwave and gone to do something back upstairs and it had finished as if to say “you’ve prepared food, are you planning on eating it” and you always finding the dirtiest water to swim in.

What To Do If Your Dog Ate a Mushroom

Introduction

Having a pet dog is a joyful experience, but it also comes with responsibilities, including keeping them safe from potential dangers. One of the common concerns for dog owners is when their furry friend accidentally ingests something harmful, such as a mushroom. While most mushrooms are harmless, some can be toxic and pose a threat to your dog's health. In this article, we will explore the steps you should take if your dog eats a mushroom, from identifying poisonous varieties to seeking veterinary help.

1. Stay Calm and Observe

If you witness your dog eating a mushroom, the first thing to do is remain calm. Panicking can only add to the stress and may cloud your judgment. Observe your dog's behavior closely and note any unusual symptoms. Signs of mushroom poisoning can vary depending on the type of mushroom ingested and the dog's size and health.

2. Identify the Mushroom

Knowing the type of mushroom your dog ate can be crucial in determining the level of toxicity. If possible, take a clear picture or keep a sample of the mushroom for identification purposes. However, do not put yourself at risk by handling the mushroom directly if you suspect it to be poisonous.

3. Look for Common Symptoms

Some common symptoms of mushroom poisoning in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, abdominal pain, lethargy, tremors, seizures, and changes in behavior. If you notice any of these signs, it is vital to seek immediate medical attention for your pet.

4. Contact Your Veterinarian

As soon as you suspect that your dog has ingested a poisonous mushroom or if you observe any concerning symptoms, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic. They can provide guidance over the phone and advise you on the next steps.

5. Do Not Delay Treatment

Time is of the essence when dealing with mushroom poisoning. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen before seeking help. Some toxic mushrooms can cause severe organ damage, and early intervention can significantly increase your dog's chances of recovery.

6. Avoid Home Remedies

While there are various home remedies suggested for mushroom poisoning, it is essential to remember that they are not scientifically proven to be effective. Avoid trying to induce vomiting in your dog without consulting a veterinarian, as it may worsen the situation or cause additional complications.

7. Do Not Wait for Symptoms

Even if your dog appears fine initially, some poisonous mushrooms have delayed effects. It is crucial to keep an eye on your pet and not dismiss the incident too quickly. Monitor their behavior for at least 24 hours and consult a vet if you notice any abnormalities.

8. Preventive Measures

The best way to deal with mushroom poisoning is to prevent it from happening in the first place. When taking your dog for walks or letting them roam in the yard, keep a close eye on them to prevent them from eating unknown substances, including mushrooms.

9. Learn About Toxic Mushrooms

Educate yourself about the various types of toxic mushrooms commonly found in your area. Being aware of the most dangerous varieties can help you take prompt action if your dog encounters them.

10. Dog-Proof Your Yard

If you have a garden or yard, make sure it is safe for your dog. Remove any mushrooms or other potentially harmful plants. Regularly inspect the area and address any issues promptly.

11. Train Your Dog

Training your dog to "leave it" or "drop it" can be life-saving in situations where they come across harmful substances. Basic obedience training can help prevent accidents and protect your dog from ingesting dangerous items.

Conclusion

As a responsible dog owner, it is essential to be prepared for emergencies like mushroom ingestion. Stay vigilant, know the common toxic mushrooms in your area, and be ready to act swiftly if needed. Remember, when it comes to your dog's health, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Heart Rate

Connor Rhodes x Reader Requested: @kp9983 I was wondering if you’d write where reader works as a veterinary technician and passes out at work so shes brought into the ED and they page him down to check her out to make sure it’s not a heart issue (it can be something super simple) and when he’s listening to her heart it speeds up because he makes her nervous being so close cause he’s cute so he starts flirting with her?

Warning: hospital jargon 

Thank you for the request! I loved this idea and I hope I did it justice! This was also my first time writing flirting, so I hope it’s good!

It was never a struggle to get out of bed when the best boyfriend in the whole world, laid next to you! But for some reason today was extra difficult for Y/N. Chalking it up to just soreness from yoga from the night before, she finally lifted her body up and out from under the sheets. Sitting on her knees facing her pillow, she looked at the sleeping form next to her and smiled. ‘Today will be a good day’ you  thought to yourself and she finally got out of bed. 

Once in the bathroom, you pulled out some Motrin and popped a few tablets in. You then repeated the same mantra from earlier.

Getting ready for work was slow, for some reason everything ached and all you wanted to do was lie back down, but when you worked as a vet tech duty calls!

At work you saw your pet patients and loved every second of it. Your body still aches but how can you be in a sour mood when you're surrounded by animals all day. 

“Y/N, I’m going to order lunch from the Thai place that just opened up around the corner, want anything?” asked your fellow tech and best friend Andrea. 

Looking up from the desk, you smiled and responded, “I’m fine, I’m not really hungry, but thanks for the offer” 

“Okay,” replied Andrea as she grabbed her purse and headed towards the door. 

You waited til the door swung shut before pulling the drawer next to you open. You reached inside and grabbed the bottle of Motrin. You took two more tablets and then quickly threw the bottle back in the drawer and shut the drawer. 

Looking at the clock on the wall, it read 11:45am, ‘5 more hours Y/N. You got this! Today is going to be a good day’ you thought to yourself. 

At that moment the door swung open to reveal a female with her mountain cur feist dog.

Getting up to greet them, you all of a sudden felt a wave of dizziness wash over you and before you could utter the words, ‘good morning’ you hit your head on the desk and fell to the floor, unconscious. 

Waking up, you didn’t feel achy anymore and you felt yourself lean into the soft bed. ‘Did Andrea let you -’ 

Before you could finish your thought the curtain was pulled back and Dr. Ethan Choi was standing in front of you. 

“Y/N, glad to see you’ve regained consciousness. Do you remember what happened?” asked Choi.

“I was achy and then got dizzy, but I don’t remember passing out” you answered. 

As he began to check your vitals he spoke, “that’s okay, has this happened before?”

Stifling a laugh you respond, “What? Fainting? No”

Dr. Choi began to write something down on the tablet and then spoke to you, “You don’t have a concussion or anything, but I do want to get Connor down here to do an EKG to see if it had anything to do with your heart”

You nodded. You really didn’t think it was necessary for your boyfriend to have to look at your heart, but considering Connor was the top radiologist at Med, you weren’t complaining. 

“You sit tight,” stated Choi as he stepped out to call for Connor. 

“Today was supposed to be a good day” you whispered to yourself. 

“And it still will be,” exclaimed Connor as he pulled back the curtain and walked up next to you. 

“I don’t know why this is all necessary,” you pouted. 

Connor took his stethoscope and put it under your shirt. You felt your heart beating faster due to having your boyfriend's hand under your shirt. 

He stopped what he was doing and looked at you, “Y/N, I’m not going to be able to get an accurate read if your heart is beating faster than it was a few seconds ago” Connor stated. 

“It’s not my fault,” you shot back. 

Raising an eyebrow, Connor grinned, “Oh, so your telling me this raises your heart rate?” and he began to move his stethoscope around in circles under your shirt. 

Giggling, you stated, “Stop it Connor”

The two of you laughed for a good few minutes and then Connor got all professional again and stated, “I don’t hear anything, but I want to still do an EKG just to be on the safe side”

A Place Called Home | Chapter 11

Genre: Hybrid!AU, Poly!AU?, Soulmate AU, romance, fluff, humour

Pairing: OT7 x Reader

Characters: vet!reader, Arcticfox!Seokjin, Panther!Yoongi, Goldenretriever!Hoseok, Wolf!Namjoon, Calicocat!Jimin, Tiger!Taehyung, Rabbit!Jungkook

Summary: Having saved your own injured hybrid, you were determined to try and help any other hybrid that crossed your path who needed saving. But being a vet in a small hospital wasn’t enough for you. You wanted to do more, you wanted to make a difference. You wanted to give them a home.

You wake up and realise that now, you have 7 hybrids living with you. 4 of them are yours, 1 of them is a rehabilitating patient and 2 of them are just here for the upcoming winter. You try your best to bring them together and make sure they stay happy.

You wake up to be greeted by Yoongi’s sleeping face. He had requested to crash in your room and sleep with you in his arms, which you were perfectly fine with. He could stay in your room for as long as he needed to. 

“Yoongs, how are you feeling?” You whispered. It took him a few seconds to respond, stirring in his sleep and yawning. 

“I’m okay...” He replied sleepily. 

“You can stay here and rest if you want. I’m going to work.” You told him and he nodded. Chuckling, you went to wash up and change into your work clothes. When you came out of the bathroom, Yoongi stood there, rubbing his eyes like a lost child. 

“I’m hungry.” He said. 

“Then go wash up. I’ll see you downstairs.” You patted his shoulder. Once he entered the bathroom, you grabbed your work bag and headed downstairs. 

“Good morning!” You were bombarded with hugs from a tiger and calico cat. You stepped back to steady yourself. 

“Good morning, Tae and Chim.” You chuckled. Pulling away, you went to the kitchen to see Jungkook and Hoseok awake. For a moment, you had forgotten that two new hybrids came to live with you yesterday. Jungkook’s long ears twitched when you entered the kitchen. The brothers watched as you went to greet Namjoon and Jin with hugs and pets. 

“Are you working a long shift today?” Taehyung asked. You took your phone out to check your schedule.

“Doesn’t seem like it... I only have two surgeries scheduled today. Then it’s consultations all the way... I’ll end around 8pm. If you guys are keen, we can go for a late dinner together.” You smiled. 

“That’s sounds great.” Jin smiled and Jimin nodded in agreement. 

“You two can come too, if you’d like.” You looked at the two brothers. Hoseok nodded his head excitedly while Jungkook shrugged, looking away as he poked at his breakfast. 

“Go where?” Yoongi appeared in the doorway. 

“For dinner tonight. My shift ends at 8.” You relayed and Yoongi nodded. 

“I’ll be practicing from home for a while so I’m free.” He wrapped his arms and tail around you. You had to leave soon so you sat down and ate breakfast with them. Jungkook remained aloof, not really participating in the conversation but Hoseok was chatting non-stop with the others. 

“Where are you going?” Hoseok asked you. 

“I’m a doctor, remember? I work at a hospital.” You smiled as you slipped your shoes on. 

“I forgot I promised to bring you and Jungkook shopping for necessities today. I’m sorry about that. But we can go on my next day off, I promise.” You said apologetically. 

“Don’t worry about it!” Hoseok assured.

“You guys can come and pick me up tonight then we’ll go. Don’t forget your tags.” You reminded and they all came to bid you goodbye. Instead of collars, you got all of them dog tag necklaces, which looked more like accessories. 

Everyone go their unique colour. Namjoon chose blue, Yoongi chose black, Jin chose pink, Taehyung chose green and Jimin chose yellow. 

“Jungkook and Hoseok, I know you’re not officially under my care but just so you wouldn’t get in trouble when we go out, I would like to get tags for you as well. If you’re okay with that.” You told them the two nodded in agreement. Both of them wouldn’t want to be separated or taken away since they were strays with no papers. 

“What are your favourite colours?” You asked. 

“Red!” Hoseok replied. 

“Purple...” Jungkook said. You nodded and gave Taehyung one last hug before getting into the van and driving to the hospital. Indeed, today was less hectic. It was mainly consultations and lots of paper work. 

‘Don’t forget to eat. - Yoongs’

You smiled at the message and went to the staff lounge to heat your food up (leftovers from dinner). The other nurses and doctors there smiled at you as you sat with them to eat. 

“(y/n), you have a lot of hybrids staying with you right?” One of the nurses asked. You nodded your head as you chewed your rice. 

“How do you provide for all of them?” 

“I don’t actually provide everything for them. Most of them have jobs, actually. I don’t treat them as pets or properties. They can do what they want. When they decided what jobs they wanted, I told them to go for it. Two are working at a plant nursery, one is working at a library and you have all met Yoongi, he’s working at a music school.” You explained. 

“Are you going to adopt more?” Dr. Lee, who was sitting beside you, asked. 

“If they come along and fit well with the others, then why not?” You shrugged, thinking of Jimin, Jungkook and Hoseok. 

“You’re seriously amazing, (y/n).” The nurse gave you a thumbs up, making you blush. 

“You guys are just as amazing because I’m sure we’re all here for one shared reason, right?” You chuckled. They all nodded and you couldn’t be happier with all the staff that you were working with. 

After lunch, you performed your scheduled surgeries and finished your consultations for the day. You sat in your office as the nurses brought in all the files that you needed to fill in or update the charts. You checked all the x-ray films for your patients. 

*KNOCK KNOCK*

“Who is it?” You asked, not looking up from your table. 

“Head buried in paperwork again?” Dr Yu teased as she walked in. You threw your head back in laughter. 

“When I’m this tired, I prefer paperwork than 6 hour long surgeries.” You smiled, looking back down at your reports. Even if you didn’t look up, you knew she was still standing there.

“Can I help you, sunbae?” 

“I brought in visitors for you. Can you at least look at them?” She said and you finally lifted your head. Your eyes widened as you saw all 7 hybrids standing there. Suddenly, your office felt so crowded. Seeing you, Jimin immediately ran over to give you a big hug, nuzzling his cheek against yours. 

“Hey, Chim. What are you guys doing here?” You asked, pulling away slightly and opting to stroke Jimin’s head instead. 

“You said you end at 8. It’s 8:30.” Namjoon raised an eyebrow. 

“Oh no! I’m so sorry, I lost track of time.” You facepalmed when you saw the clock. Indeed, you were half an hour late. Dr Yu came over and held your arms, making you stand up. 

“Sunbae-”

“You made your hybrids wait long enough. Any longer and they might sue you for starving them. Your shift is over. No more work!” She closed your files. 

“Alright, alright. I just need to hand these in to the nurses’ station and we can go.” You smiled and Dr Yu saluted to you. As she walked past your hybrids, they all bowed to her respectfully. You sighed and gathered your things. Files in one hand, the other holding Jimin’s, you headed to the nurses’ station. You knew that everyone was staring at your group. 

“Wow, did the entourage get bigger?” Head nurse Park teased. 

“This is Hoseok and Jungkook. They’re just staying with us for a while. This is Jimin.” You ruffled Jimin’s head. This time, he didn’t shy awake from strangers but his cheeks did turn pink. 

“Hello.” Yoongi, Taehyung, Jin and Namjoon greeted the nurse with familiarity. She smiled at them as you sorted out your files on the counter. 

“I’ll do the rest. Have a good night doctor. See you, boys.” Head nurse Park waved you off. You bowed to her and all of you walked to the van that the boys came in. 

“Hoseok, Jungkook. These are for you.” You gave them their tags. 

“Wow! Cool! Thanks!” Hoseok grinned, slipping his over his head. Jungkook stared at his for a few seconds before wordlessly putting his on. You sat in the passenger seat while Jin drove. 

“Where are we eating?” Yoongi asked. 

“How about some Korean beef?” You suggested. Judging by the loud cheers that erupted from everyone, Jin took that as the consensus and drove towards your family’s favourite Korean beef barbecue place. The restaurant gave your large group 2 grills to cook with. 

“Here, Jungkook. I know you eat meat but prefer vegetables.” You handed Jungkook a bowl of stewed vegetables. 

Jungkook was shocked that you noticed that. He generally went with the flow of just eating meat but being a bunny hybrid, he was still part herbivore and still preferred to eat more vegetables over meat. 

“T-Thanks.” He mumbled. 

“Eat up boys.” You began cooking the beef. You gave them out to the boys, who gobbled it up deliciously. 

“You’re doing all the cooking and not even feeding yourself.” Yoongi held out a lettuce wrap to you. You smiled sheepishly, leaning forward to eat the wrap from his hand. The boys were all chatting happily during dinner. Even Jungkook lightened up and Jimin was able to comfortably participate in some of the conversations that took place. 

“Do you work everyday, (y/n)?” Hoseok asked. 

“Hmm... Not everyday... I mean my schedule is never the same. I do have my days off but sometimes, I can be called for 36 hours shifts or 20 hour shifts.” You explained. 

“Isn’t it tiring?” 

“It is but when you think of the cause, it doesn’t seem so tiring anymore. If I can use my skills to save as many hybrids as I can, I will. Even if I don’t get to sleep or eat.” You shrugged with a smile. 

“Actually, Yoongi, Namjoon and Jimin were my patients before they joined the family. But they only listened to me when I was their doctor.” You chuckled, nudging Yoongi, who was beside you. He  rolled his eyes while Namjoon laughed and Jimin blushed. 

“Why should I listen to a doctor that can’t even take care of her own health?” Yoongi raised an eyebrow and you scrunched your nose at him. 

“Yah. Min Yoongi.” You threatened to put his tail on the grill. 

“(y/n) allows Yoongi to speak to her like that?” Jungkook asked Taehyung, who nodded his head. 

“(y/n)’s chill with these things. She hates formality and wanted everyone to be comfortable around each other. But that being said, her and Yoongi hyung... they’re the closest since he’s her first hybrid.” Taehyung explained. 

“You all didn’t come together?” 

“Nope. Yoongi hyung first. Then Jin hyung, followed by me. Once Namjoon hyung woke up from his coma, he joined. Lastly, we have Jimin then you two. But I guess since we met Hoseok hyung first... Hoseok hyung comes before you.” Taehyung grinned. Jungkook looked at the tiger. 

“Well, we don’t count because we’re only here for the winter.” Jungkook snorted. 

“I’m sure if after this winter, you want to stay longer, (y/n) will be more than happy to accept you and Hoseok hyung.” Taehyung said before turning to join Namjoon and Yoongi’s conversation. 

“I have the morning off tomorrow. Shall we go to the fields?” You asked. 

“The fields?” 

“Kitten, no of them knows what and where the fields are except for Jin hyung and I. It’s been that long since we’ve been. Have you forgotten?” Yoongi ruffled your hair. You blushed, rubbing the back of your neck in embarrassment, remembering just how long ago it has been. 

“The fields is this big open place for hybrids to go and run. They can mingle and meet other hybrids too. Basically, a hybrid park.” Jin explained and everyone nodded. 

“Why haven’t you been in such a long time?” Namjoon asked. 

“Because Jinnie wasn’t around and there’s no point bringing Yoongi. His lazy ass just sits there and sleeps or he sits next to me and sleeps. I guess with Taehyung and Namjoon coming, it’s just been hectic that it slipped my mind to bring you guys there. But I’m sure you’ll like it.” You smiled. 

“Can I go, (y/n)?” 

“Of course, you can, Chim. Whatever you feel comfortable with.” You patted his head. After dinner, you brought the boys for ice cream. 

The boys all chose their flavours and of course, they each got two scoops. Jimin just blinked at all the different flavours through the glass, not even sure what this was. 

“Haven’t you had ice cream before?” Hoseok tilted his head. Jimin shrunk back and shook his head in embarrassment. 

“It’s okay! There’s a first time for everything. What do you want to try?” You held Jimin’s hand. He tried the flavours that appealed the most to him. In the end, he chose strawberry only. You took the cup from the shopkeeper and handed it to him with a ruffle of his head. 

“What’s your favourite flavour?” Jimin asked you. 

“Honey comb and cookies and cream.” You said. Your colleagues even teased you about adopting Yoongi and Jin as your hybrids because they remind you of cookies and cream ice cream. 

“Here. Have some.” You held out your spoon to him. He leaned in for a cautious sniff before eating the ice cream off your spoon. 

“It’s good.” Jimin’s eyes sparkled, making you laugh. Taehyung grinned as he took his ice cream cone, licking the cold treat and letting out purrs of happiness. 

“Namjoon? Aren’t you going to have some ice cream?” You asked him. He shook his head and just continued looking out the window. 

When you all arrived home, everyone split to their rooms. You couldn’t help but feel bothered by Namjoon’s sudden change in attitude. He was fine during dinner but at the ice cream parlour and during the drive home, he was oddly quiet and distanced. Slipping out of bed, you went out to see Namjoon’s door open. He wasn’t inside. 

“Namjoon?” You whispered out. Namjoon stood in the backyard, his arms wrapped around himself. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even notice your presence. 

“Namjoon?” You called. He jumped slightly and turned around. 

“What are you doing awake? And why are you out here? It’s so cold and you’re only wearing a cardigan.” Namjoon stressed. 

“Relax, Namjoon. I’m okay.” You placed a hand on his arm with a small smile. You sat down on the bench and patted the space beside you. Namjoon slowly plopped down. 

“What’s wrong, Namjoon?” 

“It’s nothing.” He sighed, looking away. 

“It’s not nothing. You know you can tell me anything. I won’t judge. I want to be able to help you in any way that I can. If you don’t tell me, there’s no way I can help you, hmm?” You giggled. Just hearing your precious giggles made Namjoon seize up. 

“(y/n), I think you’re my mate.” He said quickly, closing his eyes in a wince. He was afraid of your reaction. 

“I see.” Was all you could say. 

“I’m sorry.” He mumbled. Seeing Namjoon all shy made you feel like laughing but you didn’t want to embarrass him further. Holding his cheeks your hands, you made him face you. You leaned in a gave him a peck. 

“Huh?” Namjoon’s eyes widened in surprise. 

“I can do that, right? Aren’t I your mate?” You teased. 

“O-Of course! I just didn’t think you would accept me...” Namjoon coughed, his cheeks turning a darker red. 

“Well, if you’re okay with Yoongi and Jin already claiming me as their mate too.” You laughed. That was the reason why Namjoon was afraid. Mates were a huge deal, especially to wolves like him. He knew that Yoongi and Jin have both claimed you as their mates and he assumed you wouldn’t want to have another hybrid mate. 

“I’m fine with that if you are and they are.” Namjoon nuzzled your cheek. 

“We did discuss the possibility of it.” You nodded.

“But you do know what happens what we become mates...” He trailed off. You nodded your head. Once you accept him as a mate, his heat will start to kick in. 

“Namjoon, did you forget that I’m a doctor? I know my role as a mate. Yes,  I do help Yoongi and Jin with their heat but some times when it gets too much for me, they try to take care of it on their own or learn to share.” Of course you would openly talk about that without any reservations. 

“It’s only a natural thing. Nothing to be embarrassed about.” It was like you read Namjoon’s mind. 

“You’re seriously such an amusing human.” He chuckled. 

“If that’s your way of calling me weird. I’m going to start rethinking accepting you as my mate.” You poked his side.

“Alright, alright. Let’s get you in first. I don’t want you getting sick.” Namjoon wrapped his arm around you and you nodded. He led you back into the house.

“(y/n)... Can you stay beside me tonight?” He squeezed your hands. You nodded again. As you laid down beside him, you yawned, making Namjoon chuckle. He pushed your hair away from your face.

“My mate, can I scent you?” Namjoon murmured. You hummed in reply, blushing slightly. Namjoon’s arms went to your waist, pulling you closer to him as he leaned into your neck. He let out soft growls and you giggled as you felt his hair tickle your jaw. You could hear his tail softly thump against the mattress. Your arms wound around him and you stroked the back of his head.

“Thank you for saving me.” 

“Namjoon, don’t thank me. You fought with your own will to live. That was all you.” You whispered. 

“Yoongi told me everything. How you took over my surgery from that other doctor, how affected you were when you came home and how you kept checking up on me.” Namjoon confessed. 

“Well, you deserved a fighting chance to live.” You giggled. Namjoon pressed a kiss to your forehead. 

“Rest, my mate.” He said softly. Slowly, your eyes fluttered close and you fell asleep in his embrace. Finally, Namjoon felt like he could get a good night’s sleep as well. 

“Hyung? Jin hyung?” Taehyung pawed at the oldest’s door in panic. Jin got up, poking his head out from behind the door, one eye opened. Taehyung thought of going to Yoongi but everyone knew that only you and Jin could wake Yoongi without getting mauled by the grumpy panther. 

“What’s up Tae?” Jin yawned. 

“(y/n) not in her room.” Taehyung whimpered. Hearing that woke Jin up. He followed the tiger to your room. Indeed, the door was open and it was empty. 

“She’s not working until later today though.” Jin scratched his head. Your scent was still there, signalling that you were still in the house. Jin went to Yoongi’s room. Of course, Yoongi woke up immediately. 

“What’s going on?” Namjoon came out. 

“Do you, by any chance, know where (y/n) is? She’s not in her room, the kitchen, the backyard or the living room.” Yoongi asked. 

“She-”

“Namjoon hyung smells like (y/n)!” Taehyung pointed an accusing finger at him. As Namjoon saw them approaching his door, he quickly jumped in front. Instinctively, he growled at them and they stepped back. Jin and Yoongi have seen this before. They were like this too when they first claimed you as their mate. The two smirked, looking at each other. 

“Come on, Tae. It’s early and we should all sleep for a few more hours.” Yoongi pulled the tiger along with him. 

“But (y/n)...” Taehyung pouted. 

“He’s not gonna let you see her. For now, at least.” Jin smirked. 

“Why?! He can’t hog (y/n)! She’s ours to share.” Taehyung whined. The two laughed but also knew that no amount of whining would make Namjoon let them through. 

“Let’s go downstairs. I’ll explain it to you. (y/n) is okay, let Namjoon take care of her.” Jin pulled the younger downstairs. 

You woke up a few hours later. After brushing your teeth in your room and changing, you headed downstairs to see the 7 hybrids gathered around the kitchen island. Yoongi was serving up the breakfast that he cooked. They all turned to you when you entered. 

“Good morning.” You greeted. 

“Morning.” Everyone replied. You missed the teasing smiles Yoongi and Jin were sending you as you grabbed your coffee. 

“So, (y/n), when can I make you my mate?” Taehyung asked. Well, that led to you choking on your coffee and becoming a coughing mess, needing Jin to come and help you.

Love, Uncle Sy

Genre: Fan Fiction (Sand Castle) Pairing: N/A Warnings: It’s so fluffy!  Rating: G Length: Drabble Disclaimer: a strict work of fiction, I own nothing except the original characters and the plot line. In no way am I affiliated to any of it.  

A/N: I had fun with Sy and Willow, making Christmas cookies, so I brought them back for some adorable birthday fluff.

Henry Cavill Master List

Saturday morning, sun barely above the horizon and Sy was wide awake. As usual, his morning began in the kitchen, a pot of coffee perfuming the room while accompanied by the humid scent of dishwasher and frying bacon. He'd woke this morning, tossing and turning, a cold sweat cresting his brow. Nothing a shower and a soothing meditation tape wouldn't temporarily fix. Had he not been woke by the nightmares, Sy would have planned to sleep in – or his version of sleeping in, at least.

Waking from a nightmare on your birthday, should be criminal. Never the less, he had work to do once breakfast was over. In a few hours, he had to pack his truck with a few party favours and drive over to the local horse farm where his niece took lessons every Saturday morning. While Sy was turning older than he cared to remember, today was his niece's seventh birthday.

The grizzled Army vet loved all of his nieces and nephews, but Willow was certainly his favourite. She was his mini-me. His tiny partner in crime. His shadow, and the light of his life. From the moment Sy had held his birthday twin, he'd been in love. His heart was melting and there was nothing that he wouldn't do for that child.

Calling the dog back inside, he gave a scratch behind the ears. Plating his bacon and a piece of toast, saving a few pieces to cool as a treat for the faithful canine. Checking his watch, Sy frowned, 6AM was a little too early to call his birthday girl. He'd have to wait until he saw her later this morning, when he would also be presenting her with the most perfect present in the world.

Around 10AM Sy's truck was packed with a few birthday banners, balloons, cupcakes, and a giant pink sparkly bow. Willow's lesson ended at 11:30, if he wanted to get there and allow his sister time to set up then he had to hurry. Sy couldn't wait to see his niece's face, when he presented her with the present that he'd bought her. He could picture it now, her eyes shining and that adorable smile, ear to ear, squealing in pure delight.

Arriving while Willow was busy cleaning her tack, Sy managed to get somewhat set up. A kind parent helping to set up made it easier on Sy. One last thing to get from the truck and they were set. Sy shut the door, the case of cupcakes in his arm. Walking back to the surprise location, the last thing he'd expected when he stepped inside the barn was Willow running towards him, tears streaming down her face, sniffling and trying to contain the sobs of anguish. Stopping in his tracks, Sy removed his sunglasses, intercepting the little girl rushing towards him at the speed of light.

“Uncle Sy,” Willow rushed her uncle, tears in her eyes. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she sniffled.

“Hey Wispy, what's wrong Bub?” Sy stroked the back of her head, the braided pig tails messed from their time under her helmet.

“Oh Uncle Sy.” She wailed, bottom lip trembling. A child crying on their birthday was never a good sign. Squatting down to be the same height as his niece, Sy wiped her eyes. “Checkers.”

“What about him?”

“He's,” hiccup, “he...” she sobbed. “He's sold.”

Biting his bottom lip, Sy felt for the little girl. He wished they could have told her before now, but that would have ruined the entire birthday surprise. Of course her favourite pony had sold, the second Sy had heard that the striking spotted pony had a price tag, he called and negotiated the sale. Checkers had sold nearly two weeks ago, his new owner none the wiser that the pony even belonged to her – at her Uncle's request.

Aimee and Mike had been discussing buying their daughter her own pony, though funds and the right pony were never aligned. When Sy heard that the favourite lesson pony was going to be sold, he discussed it with his sister and knew what he had to do.

Seeing Willow sobbing uncontrollably was going to make the reveal that much sweeter. Even so, knowing something his niece did not, seeing her in such a state broke Sy's heart.

“Oh Wispy,” Sy soothed her, bringing her in for a tight hug. “I know it hurts now, but just think, Checkers is going to have a little girl of his very own. Don't ponies deserve a good home and all the love?”

“Yeah, but I'm going to miss him. I wish I could have him. I would love him forever, Uncle Sy.”

“I know bub, I know.” Gently giving her a squeeze, Sy let her go rubbing the tears away from her cheeks. “How 'bout you go finish putting your things away, then come find me and we can give Checkers some treats and tell him what a good pony he is?”

“Okay.” Willow nodded, hiccupping through a new batch of silent tears.

Close one. Sy stood, blowing out a heavy breath.

He had to hurry, if he wanted to be set up by the time Willow came back. He picked up the case of cupcakes. Delicately arranged in the shape of a pony, of course. Sy had worked hard baking, decorating, and creating the perfect birthday treat. Walking through the aisle of the small riding facility, Sy smiled seeing his sister and nephew waiting at the party site.

They had arranged to meet up after Willow's lesson, catching a few of her horsey friends before they left. Parents happy to wait for an extra hour to help the little girl celebrate her birthday. Sending Willow to the car to put her things away had been the only way Sy could get her far enough away to make their plan work.

“Sy, Happy birthday.” Aimee hugged her brother tightly. Careful not to squish the container of cupcakes that he held.

“Thank ya.” He kissed her cheek, smiling wide. Nodding to Ben, who would rather be anywhere else right now. “Wispy was pretty upset,” he commented glancing over at the pony who was standing in a holding paddock near by. “I nearly broke, Aim.”

“Oh god,” Aimee rolled her eyes, “who knew all it took to break the soldier was a crying child.”

“She's gutted,” He frowned, setting the cupcakes down on a small table decorated with a pink birthday sign, matching plates, and cups.

“Won't be for long,” Ben shrugged.

“Sure you and Mike are okay with this?” Eyeing his sister, Sy smirked adjusting his cap.

“Well, we kind of need to be. It's not like we've a choice.”

“Course you do, if you don't want  the pony, I am sure Checkers and I would get on fine.” laughing, Sy took a good look at the pony who was content to eat the hay he'd been given. The big sparkly pink bow around his neck didn't seem to hinder him any. “He's a good looking boy.”

“I'd like to see you on that pony.” Her laughing intensified, Aimee snorted slapping Sy in the arm.

Her giant of a brother would look insane on the pony, even if Checkers was on the bigger end of being a pony. Hell, the last time she'd seen Sy ride he was maybe twelve, before girls and other interests had taken over his attention. Back then he would have loved to have his own pony. Their parents had allowed Aimee to begin taking lessons, when Sy had tagged along, insisting that he be allowed to ride too. Fearless, the six year old climbed onto the horse assigned to him and didn't bother to look back. For a few years everyone had began to assume that he'd eventually end up in high school rodeo, after that he'd find a woman and settle down on a farm somewhere.

Heh. What a life that would have been. A wife and kids were evidently not in the cards for this Syverson. He loved his nieces and nephews, but the scars his life bore, it would be unfair to condemn a child to a father who was broken and haunted by war. Clouds settling in his mind, Sy cleared his throat bringing himself back to the present matter at hand. Tormenting his sister.

“I happen to be a fine rider.” Winking at Ben; Sy nudged his sister. “I remember being a much better rider than some others that I know.”

“Shut up, I was a good rider.” Defending herself, Aimee stuck her tongue out at him.

“I know you were, but I was better that's all.” grinning from ear to ear, Sy ruffled his sister's hair, checking his watch. Willow was still missing, unlike her. “Should I go find Wispy? Bring her over?”

“Uh, yeah. If you don't mind.” Aimee nodded, checking her watch. The car had been unlocked, there was no obvious reason for her daughter to be held up.

Walking to the parking area, Sy laid his sights on the suv belonging to his sister. The doors were all shut and no sign of Willow. His truck, parked beside it was also vacant. In the back of the suv, Willow's stuff was tossed in. It looked like she had thrown it and ran.

“Wispy?” his heart began to thump when the car was clear. Logically, Sy knew that she couldn't have gone far. The soldier in him told Sy that there was no need to panic. The uncle side tried to take over his wildest imagination. No, sir he was not allowing those thoughts in. Listening for a moment, he took a deep breath steadying his heart and calming the pounding in his veins. “Willow?”

Behind him, he could hear a rustling in the grass. All the dogs were around the back and this was too big to be a barn cat. Following the noise around the corner of the shed, Sy's heartbeat returned to normal finding Willow sitting in the grass. Knees to her chin, her face stained with tears, her jeans dirty, boots covered in dust.

“You coming, birthday girl?”

“Uncle Sy?” Willow sighed, rubbing her hands against her eyes.

“Yeah?”

“My heart hurts. Is this what it's like when you have a broken heart?”

“Wispy, bub.” Sinking down to sit beside her on the grass, Sy felt his chest tighten. Wishing that Aimee had never mentioned the sale.

“I miss him already.”

“I know, but for now he's still here and he wants those carrots that I brought.” Trying his best to encourage his tiny shadow, Sy smiled. “If we go see him now, it means we get to spend more time enjoying Checkers than worrying. We can't predict tomorrow.”

Leaning into her uncle, Willow sighed. “But why did he have to sell? I love him, I don't want him going to a new home and on my birthday.”

“Oh Wispy,” Sy kissed the top of her head. He wanted to tell her, reassure her that Checkers wasn't going anywhere, but he didn't want to ruin the surprise just yet. “Honestly, bub, I don't know what to tell you. What I can tell you is that it won't always hurt.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive. Now, your ma is waiting for us. Some of your friends have stayed, too. There are cupcakes.”

“Really? But I thought we were going to feed Checkers.”

“We are, after. I wasn't supposed to tell you about the cupcakes, but I even made them myself for you. Come on, let's go enjoy the day. It's our birthday! No tears on our birthday.” Standing, Sy held his hand out to Willow.

Grasping her Uncle's hand, she squeaked when he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder. Laughing hysterically, Willow flopped around on his back, bracing herself with her elbows as he walked through the yard.

Seeing Sy with Willow over his shoulder, Aimee instructed Ben to grab Checkers and have him ready for his sister. Whatever. Ben crawled through the wooden fence, clipping a pink lead line onto the pony and coaxing him away from he hay. His sister was about to lose her mind. Straightening the bow, Ben smiled fondly at the thought of how happy his little sister would be.

“Happy Birthday, Wispy!” Sy announced setting her down, back to Checkers.

“Is this all mine?” Willow's eyes were wide as she stared up at her uncle.

“Sure is.” Nodding, Sy smiled with pride.

A few of the kids who had stayed were giddy with anticipation. Wishing their friend a happy birthday, waiting for the big moment. Turning to look at her mom, Willow spotted her brother with the pony. More tears in her eyes, she began to loudly sob. Her body shaking, words escaping her. Kneeling down beside his niece, Sy sniffed back his own tears.

“Happy birthday, Willow. He's all yours.”

“M-mine?”

“Yeah sweetheart, Checkers is all yours. If you want him.”

“I do. I really do, I love him so much.” Willow rushed the gate, fumbling to undo the latch. Frustrated she darted under the fence, throwing her arms around the pony's neck, hugging him tightly. “My own pony,” She whispered, causing Ben to smile. Handing his sister the lead line, Ben took a step back allowing his mom to take  photo of the moment.

“Send me a copy, will ya Aims.” Sy wiped his hand across his eyes, putting his sunglasses on to hide the tears.

“You big softie.” Aimee nudged him. “Go on, get in the photo with them.” She urged her brother.

Stepping into the small paddock, unlatching the gate – unlike his niece and nephew there was no way in hell Sy was darting through the fence boards. He stood next to Willow for a moment, stroking the spotted neck of the content pony. Whispering softly to Checkers about what a good sport he'd been.

“I can't believe it.” whispering, Willow looked up at her uncle. “He's all mine.”

“He sure is, bub.” Holding out his arms Sy smiled when Willow rushed into them. Hugging her uncle tightly. Scooping her up, Sy took the lead line from her, holding Checkers beside them while Aimee took some photos. “Happy birthday, Wispy.” Sy smiled kissing her cheek.

“Happy birthday, Uncle Sy. Sorry that I didn't get you a pony.” Willow kissed his cheek, hugging her arms around his neck.

Idk how to do a read more on mobile anymore lol but uhhh idk keep scrolling since this is about my dogs

So I've got 2 senior German Shepards and their lifespan is between 10-14 years and ofc less if theyre boys (which they are) and one of my dogs is already 14 (if im remembering correctly and we got him for my uncle back in 2008) and the other dog we have no real way of knowing his age bc he was a stray that my brother forced me to take care of... it was a whole thing bc the dog wouldn't leave bc my brother kept giving him food and water and there's this ledge at the back of our property that had tons of vines and other plants ANYWAYS the point is that he would sleep there during the day and animal control never saw him when they spent 2 weeks in our neighborhood collecting the strays which my brother took as a sign to just transition the dog from there into our actually property and it was very annoying because we already had the dog my uncle no longer wanted (he originally said he'd take the dog bc his daughters agreed to help but they never did so the dog was very underweight by the time we moved into our house and my uncle saw how healthy he looked when they went to el Salvador for a month and we took him in so thats how ownership was transferred lol) but anyways I spent the first year pissed bc this dog was bigger than our first dog and he would steal his food, attack him, and ofc the cleanup was so hard bc we still hadn't covered up the dirt patches and they'd both make crazy messes... they get along fine now like they def love each other and I love them both since we've had them for so long now but they're so old... champion has his off days where he won't eat and he'll sometimes have accidents in my room (he doesn't get in trouble I know its not on purpose) and he has trouble with the steps out front and even falls into the gap between the fence :/ he's my 14 year old and he also has advanced arthritis so I try to be extra gentle and accommodating with him by buying him comfy beds and taking things extra slow and helping him get up (when possible bc I never know if he's going to bite me for it and I dont mind if he bites my hand but in some positions I just dont want to risk him feeling uncomfortable and lashing out and getting my neck or face bc god knows that would hurt a lot since both my dogs have strong bites) geez ok and ny other dog I estimate is btwn 11-13 hes so aggressive and territorial which is a major problem. He is not really allowed off the property bc I cant control him or hold him back if he lashes out (and I have been on the receiving one of his soft bites and let me tell you those things hurt so fuxking bad and it wasn't even that serious like yeah it tore the skin and I bled but it was just the surface and it was so funny bc he immediately knew he fucked up and went slack) but yeah he also has arthritis and its not as bad as my older dog but it will most likely get worse and he also has a weird growth on his chest between his 2 front paws and its like.... im already spending my money on their dog food (I wanna say roughly $60 a bag and $30 for a few packs of chicken or champion won't eat at all and this is every month) and I told my brother to consider what he wants to do with shaggy bc he is old and its most likely a tumor and idk if its gonna be worth it to spend thousands esp for him when he's the only one in his household that works and he has to support his wife, 2 kids, and the animals they have (yes my brother moved out and left me with that beast of a dog and he NEVER comes to visit them anyways so why put up a front like youre concerned... this is just like the new years eve incident when my dog ate a huge block of rat poison and I saw him finishing it and i had to immediately induce vomiting and then when he said he'd go to the vet with me he wanted me to wait 2 hours like ????? HELLO? HE ATE POISON!!! and then I had to spend the night at the ER bc my brother and mom had a stupid fight and she tried to kill herself)

so idk if it would be the right move to put them down soon or to let them die at home (probably in my room bc that is where champion spends most of his time when someone is at home) and it doesn't even matter which dog dies first (naturally it'll probably be champion) the other dog is going to be so depressed

[en-chantant]

My dog was the best thing I had in my life and now he's also gone. I grew up with him always by my side and I have never loved anything as much as I loved him. He was my little everything. Whenever I felt bad, he was always there, he always supported me with his company and I'd never know if he felt how much I loved him. I loved him with my whole fucking heart but I still feel I could've done more, that I could've tried harder, that I should've stood by his side more.

He was always there for me and I don't know if I was actually always there for him. I tried my best. I did. But I should've been better, I should've tried harder. I watched him die. Slowly. Piece by piece. I wonder how much it hurt for him, I wish I could've saved him. I wish he knew I wanted to do even the impossible to ease his pain.

Chronic kidney disease. It killed my baby. The deepest love I've ever felt. I saw how he lost weight, I saw how he started vomiting, more and more often each time. I saw how he started waking up at night to cry. I wish I could've felt his pain so that he didn't. I saw how he stopped running, how he stopped barking. I saw how he stopped being happy, how he stopped being himself.

I remember looking at his eyes and seeing sadness, I remember I even had the impression he was crying. Chronic heart disease. It also killed my little everything. Breathing became harder and harder, I remember holding him in my arms and not being sure if he was still breathing. I saw how he stopped breathing normally, I heard how he would always breathe weirdly.

I had faith he would get better, I had never been more hopeful. Every night I stood awake to help him, sometimes he would fall asleep and I would keep looking at him wishing he would feel better, wishing I could do better for him. Sometimes I would fall asleep holding his paw so that he felt I was there for him. After two months I was completely exhausted but I still wanted to do everything within my power. For a while he felt better and I thought everything would be fine. But it didn't.

I saw how eating became harder and harder for him. I saw how he stopped eating his favorite food, and I tried my best to get him to eat but it was always harder. He was always nauseous. Though he was strong, sometimes he would eat even when he was poorly breathing or even after bleeding. My little warrior. He deserved better.

I saw how walking became harder and harder, he would try to walk and he would fall on his paws. Standing up also became harder and hurtful, I remember I had to help him to make sure he would not fall. I eventually became too afraid to leave him alone for even one second. I stood with him every single minute of the day. I stopped my life so that I could take care of him and now I wish I would have stopped my life sooner. He deserved better. He was so little and yet he was so strong.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia. Arthrosis. They were also really hurtful for him. With all of that torture, a tumor was finally found. I remember when I was holding him while the vet was doing the exam and she said there was something inside his belly that shouldn't be there. I remember how I started shaking and thought desperately "Please. Please. Don't be a tumor. It can't be. Don't be a tumor. Please". Breathing became harder for me at the single idea of a tumor. I waited in silence for what could have been a lifetime until she said it was a tumor. He cried when she touched him right where the tumor was.

I remember she explained it was impossible to know if the tumor was inside or outside his kidney because his chronic kidney disease was so advanced it was impossible to even see his kidneys. I remember how she said that it was as if there were no kidneys at all. I remember how I was even unable to reply as she explained. I barely and poorly found enough words to ask what I already knew. There was no treatment for his tumor, it didn't matter whether it was benign or not. His chronic kidney disease didn't give room for any treatment. He was even unable to take meds for his pain.

I remember how she explained that the tumor would grow, how much it would hurt him and how it would drain blood from his body and that his heart wouldn't be able to produce enough blood, even less with his heart chronic disease.

The tumor and the prostatic hyperplasia had made him bled and she said it would go on. He would keep bleeding. I remember how she told me once again that I had to consider letting him go. Putting him down.

I remember how I came home to cry my heart out. I remember how badly I wanted to find an answer. I didn't even have time to cry because he was waiting for me. He needed my help so I gathered my shattered heart and promised myself it didn't matter how much it hurt me nor how much pain I felt. The only thing that mattered to me was my hugest love.

I remember how I had to remind myself many times that I didn't matter, that my pain didn't matter at all. I even feel guilty I slept. I was so tired I would fall asleep without even realizing it but I shouldn't have slept at all when I knew he would be gone. I was weak and selfish.

Intravenous therapy was also a torture for him. His veins were so thin and dehydrated it would always end up bad. I remember the first time I had to take the needle out because it was a Sunday night, it was hurting him a lot and the vet told me to do it myself. I remember how I had to hold him while he screamed his lungs out and tried to run away, so that I could take the needle out of his vein. He screamed but he also cried his heart out. I could feel how much it hurt him and that he didn't know if I had produced him that much pain. It went on. I had to force him over and over again, there were always more and more needles, he would always need them but it would always hurt. Sometimes he would hide himself so that I couldn't hurt him anymore.

I would always have to force him, "one more, my little love, this will make you feel better", I would say. But he never felt any better. I remember how he would refuse walking at all when the needle on his paw would hurt badly. I remember how his paw would become swollen when the intravenous didn't work anymore and I didn't realize it sooner.

I was always forced to take medical decisions at home when I didn't have the slightest idea of what the best for him was. I had to learn how to treat him with the intravenous, I had to inject meds directly to his vein while knowing that if I made a single mistake his heart would stop and that it would be my fault. I also had to force him to eat when he would spend hours refusing food.

My little love. I will never have words to tell you how sorry I am for all the things I had to force on you. I remember the exact moment when I realized I had to let you go. I was too afraid of what could happen next, I was too afraid to see a new day because I knew it would bring more pain for you and that I was unable to help you.

The only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted your pain to stop more than I have ever wanted anything else in my whole life. I remember holding you and promising you that I would only think of you, that you would rest even if you took my heart with you when you left. You were so dehydrated and became so weak, I was incredibly afraid something terrible would arrive at any second. It didn't matter how many fluids I tried to put into your blood to clean it, it was never enough.

I saw how the fever burned your little body down, it didn't matter how many antibiotics I tried, they were never enough. The fever would go on. I saw how your paws would shake as well as your body and how you would get scared about it. Sometimes you would cry so slow I wouldn't be sure if you were crying or doing a different noise.

My heart stopped beating at the same moment that yours did. I decided to put you down because I wanted to avoid the pain that tomorrow would have brought you, but I still feel I didn't have the right to choose over your life. It is consuming me. I decided you would die. Even when I would have died to save your life, I couldn't do anything.

I wish I could've taken all your illnesses away, I would've gladly suffered them myself so that you didn't. Your soul was pure and innocent.

I know you trusted me, and I looked at your eyes and decided you'd die. You died looking at my face and I never forget the exact moment when you stopped breathing. When the vet said you were gone I cried my heart out while I held your lifeless body. I wanted to believe it was a nightmare and that you'd wake up. I feel like a lifeless body ever since. I remember how broken I felt while I carried your lifeless body to bury you, I cried my heart out every single moment.

I wasn't ready to see how you'd disappear forever. I wasn't ready to know I'd never see your little body again. I tore myself to pieces and cried over your grave for hours. I didn't want to move. I didn't want to leave you behind. I kissed your lifeless body when I carried you for the last time and I felt with my lips how it had already changed and it destroyed my heart more than I could have possibly ever imagined. I remember the exact moment when I touched your head for the last time and I also remember the exact moment when your body was completely covered and I knew I would never see you again.

It's been 11 days. Being in my house became a torture. Looking at the place where I had to put you down hurts more than being set on fire. You're everywhere I go and you're in everything I see.

My angel. I love you more than words can express and I wish with all my heart that I could have given my life for yours.

[survey--s]

16.

1 - What have you been up to so far today? Is that a typical thing for you to do on this particular day of the week? Not very much so far as it’s only 10.15am. I woke up around 8am, lazed around in bed for an hour, got up, fed the cats, let the dog out, vacuumed, washed the cat bowls and showered. Then, I made a coffee and now I’m doing this and kind of watching Homestead Rescue as well. That’s a pretty normal Sunday morning off for me, yes.

2 - Did you get a decent night’s sleep last night? How many hours sleep do you consider a decent amount? I did, I slept around 8.5 hours which is just about perfect for me. If I sleep too long I tend to feel a bit groggy and out of sorts.

3 - What is one silly thing that really gets on your nerves? People who don’t use their indicators when they use roundabouts.

4 - Who was the last person you saw who wasn’t family? What did you guys end up doing together? I actually don’t remember, ha, I’m not the most sociable person in the world. The last non-family member I spent a considerable amount of time with was probably Nigel and we just walked the dogs together down the shore.

5 - Do you prefer hot or cold drinks overall? In the morning, I love a hot coffee, but during the day I generally much prefer colder drinks.

6 - Do you own a decent set of waterproofs? If so, what do you use them for the most? If not, do you think that would be something you’d find useful? Yeah, I have to have them for work as otherwise I would be absolutely soaking wet and miserable all day long, lol. 

7 - Do you have any plans for the rest of the day? No, not really. I have to be in later for the food shop being delivered and then I have a cat visit to do after that, but until then I have absolutely no plans whatsoever, which is just perfect as I have such a busy week coming up.

8 - How often do you get your hair cut? When hairdressers were closed due to COVID, did you try cutting it yourself at home? I cut my hair myself anyway, so COVID didn’t really impact me at all in that respect. I give it a trim every few months, I guess.

9 - What did you wear the last time you left the house? Is that different to what you’re wearing at the moment? I haven’t been out since Friday, and I was wearing work gear then - leggings, a vest top, a sweater and a waterproof jacket. I’m wearing a pretty identical outfit now, but the stuff I’m wearing now is just for comfort rather than practicality.

10 - Would you rather have a relaxing beach holiday or a more active holiday in the mountains? A beach holiday. I spend my working life being active in the mountains, lol.

11 - Do you know how to tie a tie? I do. I had to wear a tie for school for about fifteen years.

12 - How old were you when you first had a sleepover at someone’s house? Did you miss home? I don’t remember, but I guess around 6-7 years old? I don’t recall ever struggling with homesickness or anything like that, though.

13 - How often do you spend time with your extended family? Every 3-4 years maybe. My extended family all live in Australia, so with COVID, it’s practically impossible to visit or for them to visit us.

14 - When you get up in the morning, do you have a set routine? On working days I do, yes. I get up, make the bed, come downstairs, use the bathroom, put the kettle on, sort the litter trays out, vacuum and then have breakfast. After that, I wash up, pee, brush my teeth, get dressed and go.

15 - Do you remember the last time you cried? Were they sad or happy tears? I cried with relief when Susie messaged me to say Guy was home and out of the vets. i am so pleased he’s on the mend at last. I’m going to give him such a big cuddle on Wednesday, lol.

16 - What do you have planned once you finish this survey? Go and get some breakfast and another coffee.

17 - What was the last thing you cooked? Did you cook from scratch or just heat something up? I haven’t really cooked much at all recently, haha. Does toast count?

18 - Are you a fan of hot chocolate? Do you like it plain or do you prefer to add things like whipped cream or marshmallows? I like proper hot chocolate, not the rubbish instant stuff. I always have it with whipped cream, and I love it with peppermint syrup too.

19 - What caused your last injury? Benji leaping at me or a treat last week, hahah. That dog is STRONG.

20 - How many tattoos and piercings do you have? Do any of them have an interesting story behind them? I have one tattoo and nine piercings. I wouldn’t say any of them have any interesting stories behind them, no.

21 - What kind of flowers do you like the best? When was the last time someone bought those for you? Sunflowers, and I don’t remember.

22 - What’s the smallest thing you’ve ended a relationship over? Hmm, while it may have seemed petty at the time, it was really the straw that broke the camels’ back.

23 - Would you rather order a starter (appetiser) or a dessert? Or would you be able to manage a full three courses? Appetiser. I love the idea of desserts in restaurants but the the vast majority of the time, they’re disappointing lol. Probably because I’m just a bit too full to enjoy them properly.

24 - How do you get most of your news, if you pay attention to it at all? Social media.

25 - Have you or a member of your family been diagnosed with COVID yet? Nope. 

26 - Are you a vegetarian? If so, what persuaded you to stop eating meat? If not, is it something you’d ever consider? I’ve been vegetarian before but it really wasn’t for me.

27 - Do you prefer rice or pasta? I’m really not a HUGE fan of either but I guess I prefer pasta overall.

28 - Is anything you’re wearing a gift? Who bought it for you? Yeah, my socks are lol. My mum got them for me recently as an early birthday gift. They’re so warm and cosy.

29 - What’s the dominant colour in the room you’re in at the moment? It’s equal between red, grey and white.

30 - Did you do laundry yet today? If not, do you need to do any before you go to bed? No, and no, I try to get all the housework done during the week so I can at least have one day that’s largely free of it.

simblr asks v2

here are my answers! find the questions here.

i wrote soo much ahaha. like however much you think i wrote, i wrote more than that. imo everything i write is gold though

1. are you going to buy the new pack (cottage living) when it comes out? no, it looks really nice but i legit never ever buy packs at launch, especially cause this one is a expansion and it will probably go on sale at some point

2. do you p*rate your dlc or buy it legitimately? buy it legitimately 👌

3. what’s your favorite world? brindleton bay, it gives like seaside cottage vibes. willow creek is good but it’s boring. 

4. if you use a queue, how many posts per day do you set it as? 3 or 4. i used to do like 12 lmaoo what even was wrong with me

5. do you watch sims on youtube? yes, i watch mainly malixa, oshinsims, and msgryphi

6. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (dream home decorator) those sectional couches look good! but honestly im kinda annoyed because now it’s even harder to have all the items filled in when i place lots from the gallery. like i’m just saying like a lot of builds will use that pack probably and if i don’t get it then i can’t really use builds/save files 

7. how many packs/kits do you own? lemme count

expansion: all - 10/10 game: 5/10 stuff: 9/18 kits: none xo

24/38 - 63%

8. what’s your origin id? is it the same as your url? 🤗 it’s in my title, it’s celeschul. it doesn’t look that nice in my title but i use celeschul in my package files and i’m guessing people search things like, “celeschul penny hair” or something like that in order to find my cc- so i keep it in there so the search results are easier. i do want to change it though..

but no it’s also not the same! well i mean it’s the username i use for cc. my origin id used to be an0nymousghost but i changed it. i wonder if anyone’s taken that one?

9. is your simblr your sideblog or main blog? main blog ✌️ my old blog @stardze​ is a main blog as well.

my old old simblr was a sideblog but it had like 1 follower and it literally a bot so i don’t think that counts. i have a multifandom sideblog though 

10. do you have a cc finds blog? i wish. i was thinking bout it earlier and that would be sooo neat but sometimes i download stuff that doesn’t have a tumblr post attached to it, and also it’s stressful to keep up with so nah

11. are you wcif friendly? yes sir. in fact i bring the trouble of wcifs onto myself but doing them even when nobody asked.

12. what’s your favorite sized household to play with? (ex. 1 sim, 4 sims) gonna have to think on this one, honestly 1 sim is really fun and stuff goes by so fast. doing stuff with astrid when she was on her own, it was much more efficient. 

for families, i haven’t done that in a while actually. 5, 2 parents and 3 kids is cute tho. why did i write this this is honestly such a hard question

13. if you have c&d, do you play with pets? i feel like i haven’t played with cats and dogs in forever. honestly i just have no paitence. noelle fae was supposed to get a cat (there’s a food bowl + cat bed in her house) but when summer vacation started, the amount of time i spent playing ts4 decreased a lot. (this doesn’t really make sense, i have a lot more time. honestly it just has to do with my recent obsession with a certain anime/manga and some other personal thing)

i did random nightmares in may though and i had pets frequently. g5 didn’t because sofia scarlett lived in an apartment, but g2/3/4 had cici, and g1 had all the cats. but that was back in march so it’s been a while.

14. what lifespan do you use? i really want to do aging off but then i feel like it drags on. but aging legit stresses me out, sometimes i just want to sit down and do some cas stuff but i only have 2 hours in real time and there’s like 4 days left till one of my sims’ birthdays. 

15. if you own a lot of packs, how many of them have you actually played through? just so everyone is aware this question was made for me

i feel like eps require a specific save made for testing them out, but the only save i’ve ever made for an ep is noelle fae’s get famous save. 

that is literally a lie - i made a save for island living with one of my 100bc kids, maisie acapella. i did actually post it on tumblr BUT then i deleted all the posts BUT i reblogged them on my alt account BUT i privated my alt account so i honestly forgot about it

i have never played through discover university or watched anyone do it on youtube, i’ve read gerbits’ story about it so i think i’m pretty qualified. i’ve always wanted to do one with periwinkle acapella but i never got around to it

another ep i know nothing about is get to work

i tried doing a eco life playthrough but i hadn’t watched any videos and i was like..what is going on. so i quit lolx d ;;;;; i mentioned it but the whimsy stories legacy was the first time i had played with the eco lifestyle features so technically i think i know what im doing

i got outdoor retreat literally on monday of this week so i haven’t played through it yet. 

jungle adventure i still don’t know what’s going on. i remember last year before i bought the pack i was brainstorming, and wanted to do a ja playthrough with luna and cedar, who are a couple who i did a random legacy with and it was all queued to post when i deleted everything (if you’re wondering why, it’s because my queue was literally 200+ posts). except this time i didn’t save them to my sideblog so i lost them. 

i still havent had a restaurant in dine out 

also never did the vet thing from cats and dogs

i have no idea what that rock climbing thing is from snowy escape but i did most of the other stuff because rn g5

city living i did through psc stage 5 and also it was the first pack i bought anyways

the rest of them are either stuff packs or i ended up playing them through casual gameplay (seasons, parenthood)

16. what do you do as you play sims? (ex. listen to music) i listen to music most of the time, or listen to commentary youtube videos because i am an alpha chad. i also used to talk with my friends on voice call but i don’t do that anymore 🥲

17. which sims challenges have you tried? random legacy, whimsy stories, perfect sim challenge, 100 baby, legacy (just the plain get-to-10-gens one), random nightmares, berry zodiac, astrology legacy, apocalypse

i feel like im forgetting some.. honestly most of the stuff i did before simblr was either 100 baby (i love that challenge) or random saves that lasted for 2 seconds. 

18. do you like the new(ish) hair swatches? nah. 

i do appreciate that most cc hairs have a true (ish) black, thank god! and the fact that the hair update is what inspired me to update and fix a bunch of hairs with different issues is pretty nice. but will i use them? no. 

plus it takes up like 5 gb? depending on how many packs you have.

19. post the latest screenshot you took 📸

i live in cas

20. what is the cc/ingame hair that looks the most like your own? i think that dream home decorator side part hair looks a lot like my hair. honestly i havent see much like my hair but that one is kinda-? close

21. who is your favorite sim of yours and what is their story? noelle and alari fae i think! 

link to post

noelle is blonde and has blue-grey eyes. she wears purple contacts pretty often though (because she wants to 😌)

alari has light brown hair that is kinda curly, and she’s got pretty vibrant blue eyes. 

they’re sisters, alari is 3 years older than noelle. noelle was 19 and alari was 22 when they got spotted

they worked as models when they were young adults. their jobs involved dyeing their hair blue/pink, and they would model like clothes and stuff. anyways, they were pretty successful. like not ultra famous but they had enough money to not work for the rest of their lives. 

their modeling group was made of 4 girls, the others were named paisley autumn and they were green and red, respectively. some things are: 

paisley and alari started dating during this 

autumn was a single mother to a little girl named destiny

noelle dated many people during this but never ended up finding the one <3

when their contract ended after like 6 years, paisley and alari went to go live together and noelle decided to get into acting. so thats when get famous playthrough started!

there’s more but basically they’re like oc’s with sims on the side. xoxo

22. if you use cc, are there any cc creators that you have like ALL of their items? this is such a good question! i hoard hair very heavily (my folder is 11gb) i so i have like 97% from most of the popular hair creators. 

i think i had legitimately EVERYTHING from simstrouble though, i went through multiple times to check and i also have all of her retired stuff. 

i have everything from ridgeport i think-? because of the fact that she uploaded all her stuff in one big zip. 

i think that’s it.. for a long time i also had everything by clumsyalienn, but then i ended up deleting it and only keeping my faves. 

and looking at my collection, maybe ah00b? i might be missing a couple but i at least have like 99%.

23. what’s one pack you think is underrated? dine out, it’s laggy af yes but it’s such a nice thing for my sims to do. 

24. what are your favorite sims stories/legacies? melons by gerbits always and forever

this question was inspired by this ask anyways so 

25. if you could change one small thing about ts4, what would it be? most of my suggestions are pretty complex but literally just - when you add tray files, they appear at the top. my life would be so much easier

this took me literal hours to answer

[creek-cryptid-deluxe]

Remember 2 or 3 weeks ago when Indie the Demon of Chaos put her head through a window, causing Bailey the 100lb Marshmallow to have a massive cut on top of her paw?

Well, because Bailey is absurd, despite doctor instruction & many attempts at preventing it, through that time she has consistently ripped off her bandages & excessively licked the wound. I kept telling her that if she didn't stop she wouldn't have a paw left to lick because the vet would have to remove it.

Tuesday I emailed them with photos, explaining my concerns & they scheduled her to come in on Thursday (yesterday). They said it actually looked good, but what we thought was significant swelling was excess tissue from it trying to heal. They sedated her, removed that, glued it shut, & gave her an extra long cone because the main problem we had was her legs were too long for a normal cone to work.

Within 5 minutes of being home, this dumbass tries to lick her fucking paw & manages to reopen the wound using the edge of the cone, bleeding all over my fucking couch. So we took her back up there. They stitched it, and sent her off with a more hardcore antibiotic & doggie Tylenol.

Last night she was still a bit out of it but wanted walks, so we went to the park, as usual. After walking with dad for a minute, wanted to come back. So I sat with her, walked around a little near the car. She got spooked & wanted to go home, so we got back in the car & I figured that since HIS dog was feeling poorly that Dad would take Indie on the short loop, checking in between rounds. That's common sense, right?

Well apparently fucking not because he took her on the long 30 minute loop. When he got back, Bailey had gotten back out to pee, so I got her back into the car. He got in after putting Indie in & said "She's still out of it, huh?" I snapped. "Yeah, she is. So much so that she was freaked out & wanted to go home. We spent over half the time in the backseat because I figured since YOUR DOG was unwell, you'd take the short loop so you could check on her but I guess that's not as common sense as I thought." & put on my headphones while he huffed & slammed shit around in the car.

He gave her bedtime meds & went to bed... leaving me to cover her foot with a sock to protect it through the night. Which he didn't bother to take off this morning.

Can anyone tell me why I seem to be the person caring for this dog that ISN'T MINE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT IN ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BESIDES MYSELF & THE SPAWN?!?!

Oh and The Spawn... man I'm about 1 "conversation" away from smacking the shit out of her. I put conversation in quotes because we don't really have those over the last 2 days or so. What appears to be a conversation involves us talking but her constantly interrupting to finish my sentences for me, usually incorrectly. Or it involves her going on a tirade about something, which I agree about but when I clarify or correct misinformation gently, she just rants over me. A lot of her rants have truth to them, but due to a lack of life experience she genuinely says some ignorant shit, but god forbid I correct her or educate her on things I have more experience or knowledge about. Oh or we talk about something & when I go to reply, she interrupts to talk about something unrelated that pertains to her.

My operating hours are between 11 am and 11 pm. So why was she on my couch at 9:30 am ranting about commercial farming & getting snotty with me when I interjected at all?

I hate to say this, but I'm so SO ready for adulthood to just slap her down. Especially since one of her rants was about employment. I saw fucking red but we were in the car, waiting for Bailey to be finished at the vet, so I bit my tongue & squished my own fingers in rage after my attempts to educate her about how the real world works were cut off.

Because apparently my nearly 36 yr old ass has less experience & knowledge about the subject than a 17 yr old who has only ever had to pay 1/4 of her car payment & 1/2 her insurance & has had one job. 👌

I'm so absolutely fucking done with every fucking person in this house. I'm tired of cleaning up after them, I'm tired of the disrespect, I'm tired of my boundaries being ignored, I'm tired of the absolute selfishness.

Tonight, if he's up for it, I'm using J as an excuse to escape. I'm pretending he needs me again, if he is down, when really I just need to get the fuck away from the boomer & the arrogant zoomer.

Don't steal my shit. Go through your own fucking suffering. Cunt.

survey by lets-make-surveys

1 - Would you describe yourself as neat, messy or somewhere in-between? Hardcore in-between. I tend to make a slight mess everywhere I go but I remember where everything is; which is exactly why it drives me crazy whenever my much-neater mom moves my stuff around in an attempt to help me.

2 - What do you have planned for tomorrow? Is that typical for you for that day of the week? Again, it’s a weekday so it’s just another typical work day for me. It’s a Friday though, so I’ll be looking forward to close out the week. I am reeeeally crossing my fingers that it won’t be hectic tomorrow, but of course that’s going to be a lie.

3 - If you have pets, when was the last time one of them needed to go the vets? Cooper was scheduled to go the vet late January, so I took him then. He needed to take a shot but I don’t quite remember what it had been for anymore.

4 - Would you freak out if you found a cockroach or other kind of bug in your home? Bugs are a normal sight so I wouldn’t freak out over them. Cockroaches are a different story, though.

5 - What’s your favourite kind of milk to drink (if you drink it)? I don’t drink milk by itself.

6 - Do you find that your skin has gotten worse since the beginning of the pandemic with having to wear a mask? It definitely has gotten worse. I have a pimple in between my eyebrows that’s been hanging out for a few months now and I can never seem to get rid of it. I think it’s because I’ve been staying at home where there are two dogs that aren’t always the cleanest, though, and not because of masks.

7 - Aside from Tumblr, what was the last website you visited and what were you doing on there? Twitter. I just checked for any new tweets on my timeline and if I’ve gotten notifications since I last visited.

8 - Do you use streaming services to watch TV? Which one is your favourite and what do you like to watch on there? I use Netflix and a free version of Viu, which really just gives me ads in between my shows which doesn’t bother me too much. On Netflix I mostly rewatch Friends whenever I need pick-me-ups; on Viu, I watch 2 Days 1 Night.

9 - Are you a fan of garlic bread? Only if it’s a side meal to pasta. I don’t seek it out on its own as I hate the strong taste of garlic.

10 - Have you had a good day so far? What have you been up to? If it’s first thing in the morning, what did you get up to yesterday? It was fine. It’s a holiday so I was looking forward to today all week hahah. I just caught up on rest and watched an episode of 2D1N; and I actually just got home from the local coffee shop since I desperately needed me time. It can get exhausting staying at home all week and seeing the same 4 people and not having a place where I can be entirely alone. After the coffee shop, I also stayed in the parking lot for an hour and a half so I could vape in the car, and also because the place was starting to become crowded.

11 - What’s your favourite way to eat your eggs? Poached, scrambled, or an omelette with a lot of fillings in it.

12 - When the pandemic is over, what is one thing you can’t wait to do again? Going back to the bar/club scene, traveling, and seeing all my college friends.

13 - Do you know anyone who could be described as a hoarder? How would you feel going into a house like that? I’m a bit of a hoarder but I stuff all the crap in my drawers. I’ve never been into a hoarder’s home where the situation could be considered extremely serious.

14 - What’s one thing (aside from essentials) that you spend the most money on each month? Has anyone ever told you you’re obsessed or addicted with it? Taking myself out to get nice food, which isn’t an essential in this case lol. It’s my favorite way of spoiling myself since I love food. I’ve definitely been told I’m obsessed, but it’s true so it doesn’t bother me.

15 - What’s your favourite way to get exercise? Is this something you do regularly or not? I just walk my dogs. Yeah, I try to do it a few times weekly.

16 - What’s your favourite genre of TV show to watch? What’s your favourite show that’s not from that genre? Dramas and sitcoms, mostly. I never expected to enjoy The Walking Dead but I did, at least until the 6th or 7th season.

17 - Would you rather be employed or self-employed? Why? Employed. I don’t think I’d ever be capable of running my own business.

18 - When was the last time you threw away food that had gone off before you got around to using it? Is that something that happens often? This doesn’t happen to me since I don’t cook, but the last time I had to throw out food was last month. I had ordered a Croque Madame at La Creperie and had my leftovers for takeout since I wasn’t able to finish it...then I forgot about it until a week later, lmao. It did not look and smell nice, obviously. But anyway, to answer the second question, I had a bad tendency to similarly forget about my packed food especially back in my college days; but since I just stay at home these days, this doesn’t happen a lot anymore.

19 - Do you do a job that requires you to wear a uniform? If not, what do you typically wear to work each day? No but we have a dress code, at least for the physical office. Business casual, then we have casual Fridays.

20 - Is your hair naturally curly, straight or somewhere in between? Do you wish it was different? Somewhere in between. Not really. I don’t feel too conscious about my hair, except for the fact that I wish it were less frizzy.

21 - If someone were to buy you flowers, what kind of flowers would you like them to buy you? I love flowers and would adore any kind.

22 - Are any of your electronics on charge right now? Nope but I know I have to charge my phone since it was at 6% the last time I checked. I’ll plug it in before I head to bed.

23 - Have you had to take a COVID test yet? Was it positive or negative? No, never had to. I deliberately avoid going to places where a swab test is required.

24 - Do you leave your house everyday? Is this for work, exercise, socialising or something else? Nah. Usually just on weekends, when I need time by myself. I use the time outside to recharge and see people other than family, even if the people I see are complete strangers.

25 - If an unknown number calls you, do you google the number to see who it was? I dunno if that kind of technology exists here, but I’ve never tried it and I doubt it would give me leads either.

26 - Given the choice, would you rather deal with a problem in person, over the phone or via e-mail? Depends on the gravity of the issue.

27 - Do you find it awkward when strangers try and make small talk with you? No. I appreciate it a lot, actually. If it seems as though they genuinely just want to make conversation I’d happily dive right into it.

28 - Have you ever fallen for a scam? Did you ever get your money back? Fortunately I never have.

29 - Who was the last person you argued with? What was the argument about and have you solved the problem yet? My mom; money issues. Yup.

30 - What colour are your bedsheets right now? When was the last time you changed them? I feel like I always answer this with my blue and yellow bedsheets, but I swear I change them every now and then. I just never encounter this question when I have another bedsheet in use lmao.
