Female/1991/Finland Hullo! I'm a horror addict and a lover of games (in other words I blink every two hours). I blog really random stuff. No consistency whatsoever. Today it's some creepy horror stuff and tomorrow cat gifs and bad humor. Mostly bad humor. I blog about things that amuse me and things I like and enjoy. Sometimes I may rant or share useless thoughts.

My doggo, Ezri, who rarely barks and mostly borks.

When I got her, she’d been abused and would cower and pee at almost everything, and had been mistreated when she’d barked, so she never would. One day months after I had her she got excited on a walk and borked at a bird, and then immediately cower-peed. I had to re-teach her to bark by gathering her whole human pack and having everyone bark and howl and feed her treats and pet her till she got excited enough to join in, and then got more treats. Took a while but I was able to teach her to bork on command (and she’s gotta be excited or she just stares at me like “Sorry, the bork system needs charging”) and she’ll do it happily when she’s excited to go for a walk or upon seeing a friend, and at birds. I love her croaky borking, especially when she started off terrified of making a joyful noise.

What kind of dog is Ezri? I love her!!

[fire-is-her-water]

I… did not expect this post to blow up this much but I am delighted at all the tags and replies and Ezri has been told the internet thinks she’s a Very Good Dog. :D

She’s a German spitz - in the same family as keeshonds and pomeranians. She might be crossed with something else as her freckled coat, non-pointy nose, and personality are not standard for her breed (they’re usually a lot more high energy and excitable - she’s super laid back and chill). She’s a bit less fluffy than breed-standard too, mostly because she’s grown out from her spring/summer trim (not usually necessary/good for her type of coat but she gets terribly itchy otherwise). It also makes her look like a puppy of a large breed:

Ezri’s best friend is Murder Cat, who is a gentle friend to humans and Ezri, but does things to mice that would make Hannibal Lecter go “Isn’t that a bit much?”

I got Murder Cat as a kitten, and she used to try to nurse on everything when she was small. Eventually, she settled on her favourite thing to nurse on, Ezri, who has never had puppies and a little confused at first but eventually went with it. She grew out of it, but they have stayed snuggly buddies ever since.

New Years here is full of fireworks outside and Ezri gets Vry Scared. I usually set her up somewhere with a snuggly spot right by me, and Murder Cat comes and does this all night: 

She goes everywhere with me in my bakfiets (cargo bike) and lets me warm my hands in her fur on cold days.

And her ears disappear if I say her name to get her attention.

ok so great thanks for coming to my TED talk about my dog, good night, drive safe

There are a lot of manuscripts that have incredibly distinctive art styles. The Bestiary of Anne Walshe is one that has appeared several times in compilations on this blog, but hasn’t gotten its own post yet, so it seemed like time to rectify that! It’s an early 15th century version of Isidore of Seville’s Etymologies named for an owner who practiced her signature on several pages, and a digital facsimile of the entire thing is available through Det Kongelige Bibliotek.  I highly recommend checking it out if you have time, because it’s got everything:

Great dogs and horses,

this bat,

a camel,

“crocodiles,”

the world’s least intimidating manticore,

birds who have definitely committed crimes,

some very expressive fish,

& more!
