Why Am I Like This

Just the blog of a big ol' failure. Watch as I regularly fail at life.This used to be a dog blog, then a cat blog, and now we're just in limbo. Still often featured on this blog are often my mother's cats and various other animals as well general pet discussion. My Main Tumblr which I follow and reply from is oogleboogleoogle, since this is a side blog.

we must try to find some small joy in this life because it is actually all we have

I do enjoy when a very old classic Tumblr post (like literally a decade old at this point) comes across my Dash and I click on OP's account and their last post was like, 30 minutes ago.

Proper boundaries

[hedwig-dordt]

it’s an important distinction. You cannot CANNOT control what other people do. You shouldn’t want to, but that’s another kettle of fish. You have control over you.

My walk started out pretty great, up until this part where I got distracted by a cool and different type of snake and followed it in circles trying to get one (1) decent picture.......

[deadcaptainentertainment]

BUT LOOK!!! It was a western hognose!!! I've only seen like 1 or 2 others like it ever!!

(Picture me chasing this thing around in circles for several minutes saying "LET ME SEE YOUR NOSE! JUST LET ME SEE YOUR NOSE! SLOW DOWN FOR A SEC, I JUST WANNA SEE YOUR SNUBBY LITTLE NOSE!") (But quiet bc I didn't want to scare it (or the other people walking nearby 😂))

How do you feel about driving?

I can drive, I am good at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am good at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I think I would enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I do not think I would enjoy driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I enjoyed driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I didn't enjoy it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I enjoyed it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I didn't enjoy it.

“do you love the colour of the sky” type legs

[weaselle]

it might just be his genetics, because he looks… like he’s got, like, a BUNCH of genes going on, but

Legs like that on a male dog often indicate a dog that was neutered very early in life. The hormones from the gonads help control the growth plate development in the legs (specifically the proper closure of the growth plates) so if you neuter a dog at, say, four or five months old, you often wind up with a dog that have stilted legs. Along with increased probability for other undesirable health outcomes.

[weaselle]

i want to be clear, i for sure think people should neuter their dogs, it’s just we know more about when that should happen than we used to (the most ideal time is between 18 months and 2 years, but that leaves the owner having to deal with behavior and possible puppies, so at least 9 months is now the minimum)

Today round ass puppy revealed to me, exhausted, at the end of my rope, that her training wasn't working not because she didn't understand, she did, she did, but instead because treats, chicken, turkey and pork apparently weren't enough motivation. She began obeying every word with startling accuracy as soon as she was offered something else. Doing backflips and stunts with pyrotechnics as prompted for the promise of a pea. A pea. She's a dog. A pea. A pea. A pea. I have to carry peas around now. On my person. Personal peas. 🫛 peas

crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it

[waterandsilver]

i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

[in-the-drowning-deep]

I met a printer early in my IT career that did not want to be a printer. it sat in a school reprographics room, sullenly chewing any job it was fed - if it deigned to notice them at all.

then one day, a miracle occurred. an exhausted physics teacher, instead of punching in 12 for the number of copies she wanted of the 30-page booklet she had made for her A-level physics class, punched in 1200.

and that printer came to life. this print job was its moment, its magnum opus! it WOULD NOT be parted from it, no matter what we did, until we physically unplugged it from the wall, by which time it had printed almost 200 copies.

moral of the story: no printer wants to be a printer, unless you also do not want it to be a printer for a bit.

printers do not want to be printers because they want to be problems
