Dog days of August days 23-26

23 - Turkish Kangal Shepherd 24 - Dogo Argentino 25 - Estrela Mountain dog 26 - Poodle

[teecupangel]

So I read the Desmond is English mastiff post.

You know what's bigger than that? Kurdish kangal. (no not the Anatolian shepherd, there's a difference) those fuckers get BIG and I mean BIG bc they're herd protection dogs and throw hands with wolves. So I'm cackling bc I can just imagine how terrifying and ridiculous it would be that Desmond is that big of a dog, he's practically a beast at that point.

Let me raise you another thing. Desmond the Danger noodle. Desmond the nope rope. Pick a snek, any snek.

Here’s the Desmond is a mastiff for anyone curious

I’m not sure if I got the images right as wiki links both Anatolian and Kurdish Kangal to the same Kurdish Shepherd wiki but here are the images that thekennelclub.org.uk added:

They’re really big and I can totally see Desmond fighting wolves and cougars with Ratonhnhaké:ton as this kind of dog.

It would be funny though if, since he’s a shepherd dog but also Desmond ‘My self-preservation radar is questionable’ Miles, he doesn’t herd sheeps, he herd wolves.

Ratonhnhaké:ton has no idea how he did it and Desmond would like to swear the wolves followed him home, he doesn’t know how to herd at all.

Of course, he can’t defend his honor because Ratonhnhaké:ton can’t understand him anyway.

But hey, at least, it wasn’t a bear.

Right?

… right???

Also, it would be easy to get Desmond to his other two main ancestors since Kurdish Kangal is a traditional Turkish breed. This would make it easy for Desmond to get to Altaïr since he canonically visited Constantinople in 1204 so he could have gotten Desmond then and brought him back to Masyaf as a gift to his sons (who became Desmond’s herd… together with the other children around their age).

Ezio could also meet him when he’s in Constantinople. Maybe even have Desmond be the strange dog who appears whenever Ezio is looking for a memory seal. He has read tales of how the Levantine Brotherhood had a large dog as a protector of children so Ezio is pretty suspicious of the strange large dog who seemed to be connected to the memory seals. (Also, this gives Ezio a companion he can share his true feelings about the Creed and the life he lives as an Assassin, knowing the dog can provide comfort and would not say anything to anyone).

If you want Desmond as a snek boi, here’s the idea of Desmond being a snake

And here’s Desmond as a bigass Ttanoboa that can and will gobble enemies up here

If you two girls wanted to and this isn't required or anything more of a suggestion. You can always get any of these blown up to be a poster in your room, a photo to place in your room or have it as a cool background for your phone and desktop.

If you two ever want them as a phone wallpaper just hit me up and I'll make them into phone wallpaper for you two. Because I still have the PNGs for them.

This photo was taken by a Turkish photographer when a goat gave birth to a baby on an icy mountain. To save the life of the goat and the baby, a village girl (shepherd) carried the mother on her shoulder and the girls dog was rescuing the newborn goat by riding on it.

[sheepblr]

The Akbash or the Akbaş is a traditional livestock guardian dog breed originating from the Western Anatolia area of Turkey.

The word akbaş means 'white head', and thus distinguishes this dog from the Karabaş (Kangal), or 'black head'. It was recognized by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2006; it is under the tutelage of the Köpek Irkları ve Kinoloji Federasyonu, the Turkish dog breed society, but is not recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

The Akbash is a flock guardian dog, providing protection from predators to shepherds and to their sheep; it does not have any herding ability. It is large and powerful dog with a mean body weight of approximately 45 kg, and a mean height at the withers just over 75 cm.

[inthenameofadho]

Pets I think my ocs would have MASTERPOST!!!

*notwithstanding their actual pets in canon, i.e. little juno

Zephyrine:

Jean

SPECIFICALLY a golden retriever because I think it suits him well, they’re loyal and friendly and selfless, and even-tempered so when Jean is out doing what he does, he doesn’t have to worry about unnecessary violence. I also think he’d appreciate having something big and fluffy, like a pillow :)

Juno

A black domestic shorthair, I was gonna give her some sort of high energy dog but decided she would probably want something better suited to her line of work, black cats are (at least to me) smart and laid back, and can blend in easily when Juno is stealthing around. I think she might want an animal that evens her out a little rather than match her energy

Jolene

Jolene would totally have a bunny (bonus: also a dog to help her out in the clinic) mostly because of vibes but also because bunnies are territorial, much like Jolene, and would notice if something of hers was stolen or lost. They’re also sweet and good for morale, and I think Jolene would get stressed out by something big like a dog or mischievous like a cat.

June

A Persian cat, specifically an old one. Persians are refined and regal, and patient and sweet, but also curmudgeonly and are more than capable of fucking shit up. June would appreciate the dignity of a Persian while also relating to one, methinks. She’s probably more of a dog person but.. oh well

Julius

A German shepherd! Specifically an old one! For one, German shepherds are commonly service animals, for two, they’re used in the k9 unit. They’re alert and obedient but also, you know, German shepherds. I think he’d mostly just want a friend, but also protection if he needs it.

Johann

Yet another domestic shorthair, this time a brown tabby. Like, some random cat he picked up off the street. He’s 100% a cat person and probably uses it for mousing, even though he also likes mice. I think he’d get a pet just to prove he’s capable of taking care of a life, and then fail miserably cause he overcompensated, and the cat ends up fat as fuuuuck.

Tanwen

You guys gotta hear me out. She’s literally a peacock. Full of enthusiasm and passion, yet also very refined and graceful. Tanwen loves being the center of attention and she loves all things beautiful, so she’d probably choose a peacock to flaunt around. Said peacock would fight with Juno’s cat.

Lola

A Turkish angora probably named something like Lady Fluffybottom of the Dayled Kingdom of So-and-so. They’re majestic and lavish, and white and beautiful, and i think she’d appreciate one so much. She’d wear it around her shoulders like a boa.

Donisvek

Black lab! Who is besties with Jean’s lab! They’re great guard dogs and i think he’d take it with him on patrol, or just as intimidation, but really he’s a sweetheart and sort of dense. Just like Donisvek.

no

4. What sports do you play/have played?

I played roller derby in Milwaukee's rec league. I want to get back into it now that I'm in Chicago (I had a problem with the Brewcity Bruisers, which is why I stopped), but I'm not sure my body will let me.

[cheerstotheelites-if]

you may think this question as something weird but i promise is totally innocent!! /gen

L, what's the character's fursonas? i kinda want to draw them as their anthro version because i draw animals better than i draw humans.

also, what's the ROs reaction to seeing MC casually drawing their fursona in class?

You have my respect for being able to draw anthro animals /pos

Weylyn: German shepherd. He's a good boi that will protect you, that's why. Surprise would be an understatement to seeing the furry version of him, more on confused. Though at the same time might ask, "I give German Shephard energy???"

Fleur: She always had the Turkish Angora vibe or the black cat vibe, heck, any fancy or regal looking cat is fine. You take the liberties with that. She doesn't really care about the fursona you made for her, only raising a brow at it and saying nothing.

Zephyrine: Oh definitely just an orange cat. Frankly, she'll be honored to be drawn as an orange cat furry. Will absolutely give you some pointers on how she wants her fursona to look like.

Eliseo: Leopard energy. It's the big loner energy. Kind of confused to seeing the furry him on your sketchbook. He won't ask why you drew him as a furry, just simply letting you be and rather not even know the reason.

Cooper: You know those canine fursonas that have colored horns? Yeah, that's him, but a golden retriever with the horns. I don't think he'll mind seeing the furry version of him in your sketchbook. Heck, he might even encourage it with a wide excited grin.

Ophelia: A husky! I just think they suit her, seeing how she likes dogs who are from the colder climates. She's more intrigued by the art style than the fact that you drew her as a furry. Might even try to draw your fursona too, in her horror-esque realism style.

A VERY DESCRIPTIVE PROFILE OF YOUR MUSE. Repost with the information of your muse, including headcanons, etc. if you fail to achieve some of the facts, add some other of your own!

NAME: "Howl" / Real Name Unknown.

NICKNAME: Howl, Dog, Mutt.

TITLE(S):  None.

AGE: appears to be 30s ( is 45).

SPECIES: Genetically Altered Humanoid. (Dog/German Shepherd, mainly. Also: Grizzly Bear, Wolf.)

SEX: Cis-male.

NATIONALITY: Howl is of Turkish and Japanese (IIRC) descent.

INTERESTS: Hunting, exploring, the sun, the sky, animals, grass, forests, and smells / scents.

PROFESSION: Enforcer / Soldier ( "retired". )

BODY TYPE: Howl's body is rather muscular with long-ish legs, powerful thighs, and equally powerful biceps/triceps packed with powerful. Despite being more compact than the average man--roughly 6 feet in the city--his build is one of power that's easy to notice.

As a dog--a void pupper if you will (coined by @airxn), his face appears long as a side profile with long, upright pointing ears with an obvious canine body and tail. The first thing that comes to mind when seen is that he's a rather soft and fluffy dog with his trademark scar!

EYES: Dark eyes with slitted pupils that are not human like at all.

HAIR: A full head of thick black hair that is usually tied into a ponytail or braided ponytail.

SKIN: Deeply tanned skin that doesn't burn easily, but is rather scarred.

POSTURE: Howl's posture can be described as relaxed.

HEIGHT: 5'9"

VOICE: Unavailable.

SIGNATURE OUTFIT: His black collar, black leather jacket, black crop-top, black leather pants, black leather belt, and leather ankle boots with a pointed toe and a steel heel. He doesn't own anything else actually.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: He's never had one. [ I'd like one for him though tbh. ]

COMPANIONS: There's no one.

ANTAGONISTS: The Major, The Master, and the rest of the Dogs.

STRENGTHS: Incredible physical strength, stamina, acrobatics, and swordplay.

The Japanese sword that Howl owns has a heated edge (when unsheathed) which is a weapon that he prefers. HOWEVER, he's a brawler as well--excelling at hand-to-hand combat as a [ former ] star within the Master's ranks, and would brawl before he had to use his sword.

WEAKNESSES: He's very protective and that can be used against him.

FRUITS: All sorts of fruit is good!

DRINKS: Water.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Beer is yucky, but deceptive drinks will get him into trouble...

SMOKES: no!!!

DRUGS: no???

DRIVER'S LICENSE: This guy doesn't know how to drive and doesn't like cars...

Tagged By: @airxn, thanks luri /o/ !!

Tagging: @icharibaxchode's Ed, @gunslinginnhogtyin, and @splinter-sister!

The 25th of October is 103 years since the death of HM King Alexander I of Hellenes (1 August 1893 – 25 October 1920)

Alexander was King of Greece from 11 June 1917 until his death in 1920.

The second son of King Constantine I, Alexander was born in the summer palace of Tatoi on the outskirts of Athens. He succeeded his father in 1917, during World War I, after the Entente Powers and the followers of Eleftherios Venizelos pushed King Constantine and his eldest son, Crown Prince George, into exile. Having no real political experience, the new king was stripped of his powers by the Venizelists and effectively imprisoned in his own palace. Venizelos, as prime minister, was the effective ruler with the support of the Entente. Though reduced to the status of a puppet king, Alexander supported Greek troops during their war against the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Under his reign, the territorial extent of Greece considerably increased, following the victory of the Entente and their Allies in the First World War and the early stages of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922.

Alexander controversially married the commoner Aspasia Manos in 1919, provoking a major scandal that forced the couple to leave Greece for several months.

The government allowed the couple to return to Greece in mid-1920. Although their marriage was legalized, Aspasia was not recognized as queen, but was instead known as "Madame Manos".At first, she stayed at her sister's house in the Greek capital before transferring to Tatoi,and it was during this period that she became pregnant with Alexander's child.

Alexander's daughter by Aspasia Manos, Alexandra , was born five months after his death. Initially, the government took the line that since Alexander had married Aspasia without the permission of his father or the church, his marriage was illegal and his posthumous daughter was illegitimate. However, in July 1922, Parliament passed a law which allowed the King to recognize royal marriages retroactively on a non-dynastic basis.That September King Constantine I —at Sophia's insistence—recognized his son's marriage to Aspasia and granted her the style of "HRH Princess Alexander of Hellenes Princess of Denmark ".Her daughter (Constantine I's granddaughter) was legitimized as HRH princess of Greece and Denmark, and later married King Peter II of Yugoslavia in London in 1944. They had one child: Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia.

Alexander visited the newly acquired territories of West Thrace, and on 8 July 1920 the new name for the region's main town—Alexandroupoli (meaning "city of Alexander" in Greek)—was announced in the king's presence. The city's previous name of Dedeagatch was considered too Turkish

On 2 October 1920, Alexander was injured while walking through the grounds of the Tatoi estate. A domestic Barbary macaque belonging to the steward of the palace's grapevines attacked or was attacked by the king's German Shepherd dog, Fritz,and Alexander attempted to separate the two animals. As he did so, another monkey attacked Alexander and bit him deeply on the leg and torso. Eventually servants arrived and chased away the monkeys,and the king's wounds were promptly cleaned and dressed but not cauterized. He did not consider the incident serious and asked that it not be publicized.

That evening, his wounds became infected; he developed a strong fever and sepsis set in. His doctors considered amputating his leg, but none wished to take responsibility for so drastic an act. On 19 October, he became delirious and called out for his mother, but the Greek government refused to allow her to re-enter the country from exile in Switzerland, despite her own protestations. Finally, the queen dowager, Olga, George I's widow and Alexander's grandmother, was allowed to return alone to Athens to tend to the king. She was delayed by rough waters, however, and by the time she arrived, Alexander had already died of sepsis twelve hours previously at a little after 4 p.m. on 25 October 1920.The other members of the royal family received the news by telegram that night.

Two days later, Alexander's body was conveyed to Athens Cathedral, where it lay in state until his funeral on 29 October. Once again, the royal family were refused permission to return to Greece, and Queen Olga was the only member who attended.Foreign powers were represented by the Prince Regent of Serbia with his sister Princess Helen wife of John Constantinovich of Russia, the Crown Prince of Sweden with his uncle Prince Eugene, Duke of Nericia, and Rear-Admirals Sir George Hope of the United Kingdom and Dumesnil of France, as well as members of the Athens diplomatic corps.

After the cathedral service, Alexander's body was interred on the grounds of the royal estate at Tatoi.The Greek royal family never regarded Alexander's reign as fully legitimate. In the royal cemetery, while other monarchs are given the inscription "King of the Hellenes, Prince of Denmark", Alexander's reads "Alexander, son of the King of the Hellenes, Prince of Denmark. He ruled in the place of his father from 14 June 1917 to 25 October 1920."According to Alexander's favorite sister, Queen Helen of Romania, this feeling of illegitimacy was also shared by Alexander himself, a sentiment that helps explain his mésalliance with Aspasia Manos

Την 25η Οκτωβρίου συμπληρώνονται 103 χρόνια από τον θάνατο του βασιλιά των Ελλήνων Αλέξανδρου Α΄ (1 Αυγούστου 1893 – 25 Οκτωβρίου 1920)

Ο Αλέξανδρος ήταν βασιλιάς της Ελλάδας από τις 11 Ιουνίου 1917 μέχρι το θάνατό του το 1920.

Ο δεύτερος γιος του βασιλιά Κωνσταντίνου Α΄, ο Αλέξανδρος γεννήθηκε στο θερινό ανάκτορο του Τατοΐου στα περίχωρα της Αθήνας. Διαδέχτηκε τον πατέρα του το 1917, κατά τη διάρκεια του Α' Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, αφού οι δυνάμεις της Αντάντ και οι οπαδοί του Ελευθέριου Βενιζέλου ώθησαν στην εξορία τον βασιλιά Κωνσταντίνο και τον μεγαλύτερο γιο του, τον διάδοχο Γεώργιο. Μη έχοντας πραγματική πολιτική εμπειρία, ο νέος βασιλιάς αφαιρέθηκε από τις εξουσίες του από τους βενιζελικούς και ουσιαστικά φυλακίστηκε στο παλάτι. Ο Βενιζέλος, ως πρωθυπουργός, ήταν ο αποτελεσματικός ηγεμόνας με την υποστήριξη της Αντάντ. Αν και περιορίστηκε στο καθεστώς ενός βασιλιά-μαριονέτα, ο Αλέξανδρος υποστήριξε τα ελληνικά στρατεύματα κατά τη διάρκεια του πολέμου τους εναντίον της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας και της Βουλγαρίας. Επί της βασιλείας του, η εδαφική έκταση της Ελλάδας αυξήθηκε σημαντικά, μετά τη νίκη της Αντάντ και των Συμμάχων της στον Πρώτο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και τα πρώτα στάδια του ελληνοτουρκικού πολέμου του 1919-1922.

Ο Αλέξανδρος παντρεύτηκε αμφιλεγόμενα την απλοϊκή Ασπασία Μάνο το 1919, προκαλώντας ένα μεγάλο σκάνδαλο που ανάγκασε το ζευγάρι να εγκαταλείψει την Ελλάδα για αρκετούς μήνες.

Η κυβέρνηση επέτρεψε στο ζευγάρι να επιστρέψει στην Ελλάδα στα μέσα του 1920. Αν και ο γάμος τους νομιμοποιήθηκε, η Ασπασία δεν αναγνωρίστηκε ως βασίλισσα, αλλά ήταν γνωστή ως «Μαντάμ Μάνος». Στην αρχή, έμεινε στο σπίτι της αδερφής της στην ελληνική πρωτεύουσα πριν μετακομίσει στο Τατόι, και την περίοδο αυτή έγινε έγκυος στο παιδί του Αλέξανδρου.

Η κόρη του Αλέξανδρου από την Ασπασία Μάνου, η Αλεξάνδρα, γεννήθηκε πέντε μήνες μετά τον θάνατό του. Αρχικά, η κυβέρνηση υιοθέτησε τη γραμμή ότι αφού ο Αλέξανδρος είχε παντρευτεί την Ασπασία χωρίς την άδεια του πατέρα του ή της εκκλησίας, ο γάμος του ήταν παράνομος και η κόρη του νόθα. Ωστόσο, τον Ιούλιο του 1922, το Κοινοβούλιο ψήφισε νόμο που επέτρεπε στον Βασιλιά να αναγνωρίζει αναδρομικά τους βασιλικούς γάμους σε μη δυναστική βάση. Εκείνο τον Σεπτέμβριο,ο Κωνσταντίνος —με την επιμονή της Σοφίας— αναγνώρισε το γάμο του γιου του με την Ασπασία και της παραχώρησε το στυλ "ΑΒΥ Πριγκίπισσα Αλέξανδρου των Ελλήνων Πριγκίπισσα της Δανίας". Η κόρη της (η εγγονή του Κωνσταντίνου Α') νομιμοποιήθηκε ως ΑΒΥ πριγκίπισσα της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας και αργότερα παντρεύτηκε τον βασιλιά Πέτρο Β' της Γιουγκοσλαβίας στο Λονδίνο το 1944. Απέκτησαν ένα παιδί: τον Αλέξανδρο, διάδοχο της Γιουγκοσλαβίας.

Ο Αλέξανδρος επισκέφθηκε τα πρόσφατα αποκτηθέντα εδάφη της Δυτικής Θράκης και στις 8 Ιουλίου 1920 το νέο όνομα για την κύρια πόλη της περιοχής —Αλεξανδρούπολη (που σημαίνει «πόλη του Αλεξάνδρου» στα ελληνικά)— ανακοινώθηκε παρουσία του βασιλιά. Το προηγούμενο όνομα της πόλης Dedeagatch θεωρήθηκε πολύ τουρκικό

Στις 2 Οκτωβρίου 1920, ο Αλέξανδρος τραυματίστηκε ενώ περπατούσε στους χώρους του κτήματος Τατοΐου. Ένας οικόσιτος μακάκος Barbary που ανήκε στον οικονόμο των αμπελιών του παλατιού επιτέθηκε ή δέχθηκε επίθεση από τον Γερμανικό Ποιμενικό σκύλο του βασιλιά, Φριτς, και ο Αλέξανδρος προσπάθησε να χωρίσει τα δύο ζώα. Καθώς το έκανε, μια άλλη μαϊμού επιτέθηκε στον Αλέξανδρο και τον δάγκωσε βαθιά στο πόδι και τον κορμό. Τελικά έφτασαν υπηρέτες και έδιωξαν τους πιθήκους, και οι πληγές του βασιλιά καθαρίστηκαν και ντύθηκαν αμέσως, αλλά δεν καυτηριάστηκαν. Δεν θεώρησε το περιστατικό σοβαρό και ζήτησε να μην δημοσιοποιηθεί.

Εκείνο το βράδυ, οι πληγές του μολύνθηκαν. ανέπτυξε δυνατό πυρετό και εμφανίστηκε σήψη. Οι γιατροί του σκέφτηκαν να ακρωτηριάσουν το πόδι του, αλλά κανένας δεν ήθελε να αναλάβει την ευθύνη για μια τόσο δραστική πράξη. Στις 19 Οκτωβρίου, παραληρούσε και φώναξε τη μητέρα του, αλλά η ελληνική κυβέρνηση αρνήθηκε να της επιτρέψει να ξαναμπεί στη χώρα από την εξορία στην Ελβετία, παρά τις δικές της διαμαρτυρίες. Τελικά, η κηδεμόνα της βασίλισσας, Όλγας, χήρα του Γεωργίου Α' και γιαγιά του Αλέξανδρου, επετράπη να επιστρέψει μόνη στην Αθήνα για να φροντίσει τον βασιλιά. Ωστόσο, καθυστέρησε από τα ταραγμένα νερά, και όταν έφτασε, ο Αλέξανδρος είχε ήδη πεθάνει από σήψη δώδεκα ώρες πριν, λίγο μετά τις 4 μ.μ. στις 25 Οκτωβρίου 1920. Τα άλλα μέλη της βασιλικής οικογένειας έλαβαν τα νέα με τηλεγράφημα εκείνο το βράδυ.

Δύο ημέρες αργότερα, η σορός του Αλέξανδρου μεταφέρθηκε στον Καθεδρικό Ναό Αθηνών, όπου παρέμεινε στην κατάσταση μέχρι την κηδεία του στις 29 Οκτωβρίου. Για άλλη μια φορά, η βασιλική οικογένεια αρνήθηκε να επιστρέψει στην Ελλάδα και η βασίλισσα Όλγα ήταν το μόνο μέλος που παρευρέθηκε. Οι ξένες δυνάμεις εκπροσωπήθηκαν από τον Πρίγκιπα Αντιβασιλέα της Σερβίας με την αδελφή του Πριγκίπισσα Ελένη, σύζυγο του Ιωάννη Κωνσταντίνοβιτς της Ρωσίας, τον διάδοχο της Ρωσίας Σουηδία με τον θείο του Πρίγκιπα Ευγένιο, Δούκα της Νερίσιας, και τους Αντιναύαρχους Sir George Hope του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου και Dumesnil της Γαλλίας, καθώς και μέλη του διπλωματικού σώματος της Αθήνας.

Μετά τη λειτουργία του καθεδρικού ναού, η σορός του Αλεξάνδρου ενταφιάστηκε στο βασιλικό κτήμα στο Τατόι. Η ελληνική βασιλική οικογένεια ποτέ δεν θεώρησε τη βασιλεία του Αλεξάνδρου ως απολύτως νόμιμη. Στο βασιλικό νεκροταφείο, ενώ σε άλλους μονάρχες δίνεται η επιγραφή «Βασιλιάς των Ελλήνων, Πρίγκιπας της Δανίας», του Αλεξάνδρου γράφει «Αλέξανδρος, γιος του Βασιλιά των Ελλήνων, Πρίγκιπας της Δανίας. Κυβέρνησε στη θέση του πατέρα του από το 14 Ιουνίου 1917 έως 25 Οκτωβρίου 1920.
