Thank you so much for answering my dog questions! I want to get a dog so badly but I am full of uncertainty so it helps to see other people’s experiences.
Totally get that! I love taking about dogs and had fun answering your questions. You seem like you’d be a great pup parent!!
questions for dog people:
1. how did you find your dog? petfinder, humane society, breeder? did you find a rescue and then choose a dog or find a specific dog and get them from wherever they were? did you meet your dog in person or choose them from pics?
2. what did you do (or should you have done) to prepare for your dog coming home? I’m talking housecleaning, routine changes, purchases, etc. things you did before you got the dog.
3. if you wanted a dog for a long time before you got one, what was the deciding factor to actually getting one? / how do you know if you’re ready?
Dog person here! Hope this helps ❤️
1. I fostered and trained service dogs with a local organization for 2.5 years! I worked with multiple dogs (always one at a time tho), anywhere from 1 week to 6 months at a time.
2. I think of preparing for a dog in terms of, how can I set my dog up for success? I want to make it as simple as possible for my dog to be and feel successful. Some things that come to mind — moving items/clutter off of the floor onto higher/harder to reach places, planning for alone time, giving clear and consistent boundaries, monitoring food and water intake if you’re potty training, having distraction treats (I recommend freezing Kongs stuffed with plain yogurt and kibble.
I highly recommend learning about dog body language! Learning what stress signals look like in dogs gives you the ability to give your pup extra support when they need it. With time, you can learn your own dogs typical signals, so having a basic idea of what to look for is a good way to start.
3. I wasn’t ready for the financial and time commitment of owning a dog, which is why I fostered/trained instead! I definitely will have my own in the future and I’d ideally want to have $1000 saved up as a dog emergency fund and have a partner or friend who’d be willing to help occasionally the first month in case it’s a tougher transition than I expected.
gays dress like everyone from Jurassic Park tbh
Fair point
If depression was a musical
This is a bop
It has been 84 years since this graced my dash.
This regularly pops into my head and it is always #mood.
My kink is not opening messages and pretending theyre not there
me: *thinks back to a childhood memory*
me: someone….. probably should have been a little worried
I wouldn’t call myself quirky but there is definitely something wrong with me
Remember when you first discovered Tumblr and you would scroll down your dashboard until you reached the spot where you left the day before?
Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!
Repeat after me:
Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For George. For Breonna. For Ahmaud. For Tony. For David. For all of Black America. We fight.
Many of us were already feeling exhausted and hopeless as we weathered the storm of COVID-19. Then, the stories behind names like David McAtee, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and countless others whose lives have been affected by police brutality and white supremacy started flooding the news and our feeds — and we know there are many more whose stories we haven’t heard.
We might feel tired. We might feel too angry to cry, or we might feel like tears are all we have left. But one thing’s certain: we’re desperate for change, and there’s a lot of work to be done.
We need to create the space to grieve for our Black communities, and we also need to create the space to fight. It took weeks of action for charges to be brought against the police officers involved in George Floyd’s senseless and brutal murder. At the same time, the protesters demanding justice and accountability are being jailed, attacked, and vilified — even by the president of the United States.
White supremacy is more than lynching and white hoods — it’s in the biases people hold when they see Black people and how violently those biases can play out. It’s in the over-policing of Black people, upheld through racist institutions that inflict violence without punishment under the law.
It’s that same white supremacy that shows up in policies that attack our bodily autonomy, which makes the promise of reproductive freedom unattainable for Black people in this country. Every governing system — education, policing, transportation, housing, health care, and more — needs accountability. And we can’t stop fighting until Black Americans can go for a walk, bird watch, protest against violence, or live their everyday lives without the fear of violence. We can’t stop fighting until the systems of racialized oppression and dehumanization are transformed.
That’s why we must speak out to bring injustice to light. The passion and power coming from people around the world who are organizing for justice is inspiring. If you’re unsure where to put your passion and your power, here are some ways to get involved:
Join the Movement for Black Lives Week of Action: Visit their site to get resources, messaging, and tactics for each day of the Week of Action in defense of Black lives.
Urge Congress to take action: Urge your members of Congress to support Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Barbara Lee, and Karen Bass’s resolution to condemn police brutality, racial profiling, and use of excessive force.
Support local bail funds: Support protesters in your city by finding local bail funds, or donate here to have your donation divided between cities across the country.
Increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities: Support BVM Capacity Building Institute and help provide training and support for community-based organizations.
Educate yourself and the people around you: We encourage non-black allies to deepen their understanding of how racism affects us all by reading these anti-racism resources and having conversations with family and friends.
We must demand accountability. We must demand justice. We must demand an end to the inequity that continues to define every moment of life for Black America. There’s hard work ahead, especially for white people and people in power. This is a battle we all need to fight.
Here with you until justice is won,

In case anybody needs to hear this
Use your accommodations.
You are NOT taking advantage of people by using accommodations. You are NOT placing yourself ahead and giving yourself an unfair advantage. You are NOT taking the "easy way out".
You are getting accommodations because you are at a DISADVANTAGE. Your accommodations make you equal.
You deserve them.
You are not lazy for using them.
About ten years ago I decided that the next step I needed to take in my life was to accept and explore what it meant to be a failure and to have failed. This infuriated almost everybody in my life and clearly terrified a lot of people. People do not want you to accept failure. They dont want you to like... Sit with and think about it and pick it up and turn it arpund in your hands and really examine it. They want you to keep throwing yourself against the impossible walls until your body explodes! They do not want you to say "alright then, I've failed. What does that mean for me? Im still here. What does the life of someone who has failed look like?"
This makes people very angry and panicky.
My mental health improved in ways it had not in the previous DECADE once I stopped. And. Sat. With failure. And thought about what my failure ... Was. And looked at the structures that produced it and examined them critically.
It is so taboo to fail and admit it openly and talk about it. It is so taboo to talk about or think about failure in an accepting way rather than hiding it shamefully until you experience a degree of success in some area which allows you to present the past failure as "a stepping stone" to your current situation. Fuck that. We are put in positions of guaranteed failure by society every day and then punished and shamed for it. Lets fucking talk about failure
