A life well-lived

My little ham is being extremely cuddly tonight and I am very here for it, I was very sad earlier because I can’t remember what Jäger smells like anymore. I find myself smelling Denny often hoping I won’t forget him too. For some reason I’ve been thinking a lot about Jäger’s final moments lately which prompts trying to remember what he smelled like, what he felt like and I just can’t remember, all of those memories are wrapped up and laced with so much sadness and trauma I just can’t separate them. I don’t know what’s bringing these feelings back up lately, maybe because I haven’t been feeling well and have been unhappy because I feel unwell. I need a nice distraction and neither of the guys I’ve been seeing are providing it. Maybe I need a hobby? Writing seems too constricting lately and not fun. I’ve been thinking about crocheting again but a) I have to learn again which no biggie YouTube taught me when my niece was born 15 years ago, it can teach me again, b) I have no clue what to make? I’d make something for Denny but he has so many clothes lol I guess he can always use more? Maybe cute hats like Good Boy Ollie has? Denny deserves all the cute clothes and hats, he’s such a good baby. I don’t deserve him.

In non depressing dog stuff I made some video game resolutions for the year that I’m not sure I’ll accomplish. If you’ve followed me for a very long time you know I also love Soulsborne games, I’ve beaten DS3 and Elden Ring but my resolution is to beat the DLC for DS3, I want to beat Malenia and Placidusax in Elden Ring and finally play Bloodborne. I’ve never played Bloodborne despite absolutely loving it. The problem is I haven’t touched DS3 since I beat it so I can’t remember how to play it and Elden Ring I’m reasonably confident I can beat Placidusax but Malenia woof waterfowl dance am I right? THB I had enough health to tank most of it if I could avoid at least one but it’s her stage two form scarlet rot dive bomb that killed me. Admittedly I’ve only tried Malenia 2 or 3 times, my partner got Let Me Solo Her themselves to beat Malenia for them. I don’t know where to start though, I have to restart them all from the beginning because I’m on PS5 now, I guess I should go in order? So Bloodborne first? I’m so scared though everything is so fast 😭 I’m a big dumb, clunky over level and use the biggest axe in the game type player and I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up. I don’t know if I can do the DLC I don’t know if I can beat Lady Maria or the Orphan of Kos but I guess I’ll try. Wish me luck y’all, I’m not embarking back into Soulsborne until I 100% Season of the Cryomancer though and of course this will have no bearing on my MK lust/content or anything, I don’t really have Soulsborne husbandos/waifus though I guess there’s boy Anri and Vicar Amelia (yes I’m a monster fucker, deal with it) oh oh and my precious stingray boyfriend Lorian, I don’t write for any of them or self ship with any of them so there will still be lots of dumb egg jokes. Don’t worry I’m in no way taking a break from MK I’m just indulging in another franchise I love deeply too, multitasking. So I guess just a heads up that there may be an influx of rage posts about Soulsborne bosses lol Or me professing my endless love for Greirat and Boc lol Will I ever go back to Baldur’s Gate 3?? Who knows! Probably not tbh I don’t like anyone other than Gribbo and Scratch not to mention I’ve seen my partner put just hours into it. I’ve seen the game and maybe I’m just bad at it but it’s just not fun for me which is why I’m going back to Soulsborne games lol I’ll tag my posts with “Soulsborne” if you don’t wanna see my rambling about the games though but like I said I promise I will still be all MK all the time after all it’s my true love ❤️

This has been a pointless Sol rambles, thanks for reading 🩵

This journey I’ve embarked on has been the toughest of my life. Each month that goes by, I feel more and more like a failure. All the while people close to me are getting what I want and they’re not even trying.

Today I just broke down, sobbing my heart out and this little lady comes up to me, puts her paw on my leg and looks at me like this… like she’s telling me ‘it’s gonna be okay mumma… it’ll happen for you one day’… then she licks my tears away and rests her head in my lap.

We truly don’t deserve dogs. Their love and loyalty knows no limits. I’m truly blessed to have this little lady in my life ♥️

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse. I discovered a new level of human depravity.

WARNING ⚠️ This will piss you off or sicken you.

And before you ask NO I did not read this. The tags disgusted me enough. Just wtf and fyi no one should be defending this person. Not the CoD dudebros, not the girlies and I know for a fact the furries won’t be.

Another reason we (humanity) don’t deserve dogs. They can’t consent they can’t even recognize themselves in a mirror!

Simon had a dog companion in the comics just wtf?! Do not project some sick concept onto this broken man he’s been through enough. I’m almost glad this person stayed anonymous because ooh! The fucking hell I would rain down on them as a dog owner. My night has been ruined. If not my entire week.

And yes I know filters exist but I wasn’t even looking for this shit it literally just popped up.

My dog Molly is often anxious and fearful. She’s gotten WAY better since she was a puppy, but new things are still met with an enormous amount of caution and unexpected things are a defcon 1 “bark until it goes away” situation.

My anxious little dog trusts me enough to solicit belly rubs by flopping over on her back across my stomach as I lie on the couch and craning her head back to meet my hand so I can cover and rub her eyes while I rub her belly. And she is there, on her back, eyes covered, hands on her unprotected stomach, completely relaxed and content.

It’s just…such an enormous gift.

[erggggggggg]

ace just gave me a proper hug and kiss (he put his head on my shoulder and his little arm around me) so naturally i’m crying because it was so sweet 😭😭😭

I have one of those accupressure mats that look like torture devices (and they are… for the first few minutes) but I laid down on mine for the first time in a while. My dog was sleeping on the couch, but within a matter of minutes, he jumped up onto the bed and laid his chin across my shins.

Beloved self-taught therapy dog, he acted like I’m about to get a migraine. I genuinely think he felt my pain and decided (again) that it was his job to Fix It

Fighting for my life yesterday with a fever over 105 and I absolutely do not remember ANY of it but apparently the whole day my dog sat on my chest licking my face and wouldn’t let anyone pick her up because I wasn’t responding 😭

[isabellaapotter]

i think it’s so cute how dogs just like to show you things. i just got home from work and my dog runs up to me, says hi, and then immediately runs to her crate. she walks back over with a bone in her mouth as if to say “look! look what i have! how fun! is this!” we don’t deserve them

Denny is such a good dog, I was really bothered and anxious for some reason late last night and out of the blue he just crawled into bed and laid on top of me. He didn’t get up either, he just stayed there until I fell asleep. 🥺 Denny’s always been pretty in tune to my emotions and is the type of dog to go crazy with kisses and tail wags when you cry. So, I guess I shouldn’t be too shocked he can sense when my anxiety is bad too it just always impresses me how much dogs can tell when something is wrong. Especially when they do whatever they can to fix what’s wrong. I’m so lucky to have him. 😭
