My aunt's spirit animal was the coyote and I saw one while hiking at the ass crack of dawn the other day and decided to follow it into the woods (respectfully) because following a trickster into the woods is always a great idea (they said, sarcastically) but! I did end up finding a BUNCH of excellent bones so like moral of the story? Coyote good and helpful. Always follow the trickster into the woods.

Work isn't vibing with me today. Does anyone have pictures of small wild animals being gently grisped by human hands, unharmed but looking very displeased about it. Like little birds and small mammals being held like this.

Came across this guy on iNaturalist today

[sentimentalslut]

what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs

[sentimentalslut]

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names

[sentimentalslut]

my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them

my balcony blocks my view of the playground, but I heard one child yell "I FOUND A FROG" with a great deal of excitement and now there is screaming, so I'm filling in some blanks

[penandinkprincess]

situational update: a little girl screamed "LEAVE HIM ALONE" and now there's noises that sound suspiciously like a child getting wailed on by a wiffle ball bat

[penandinkprincess]

further update: parent has been called to the scene. distribution of fault is underway. bat appears to have been confiscated.

[penandinkprincess]

bat has been returned under the promise of not deploying it once more against brothers. the pause and "but tell him to leave the frog alone" tells me it will likely come back into play shortly.

[penandinkprincess]

as expected, frog was bothered again and frog warrior took up her weapon once more. all children are being collected to leave on charges of acting "like y'all have NO sense"

personally I stand with frog defender on this issue

“work smarter, not harder” ok no, bitch. inefficiency is part of my process. all those wasted hours over there? they’re load bearing. you do not get it.

[carniekisses]

Your dislike or phobia for certain animals never outweights the animal's right to exist and live, i keep running into this behavior and i don't know why some folks never got to learn that. Who do you think you are

[pagesofscales]

If you're experiencing homelessness, a sudden loss of income, a change in living situation, or any other event that makes you unable to care for your pet(s), try reaching out to your local humane society and/or shelters.

Many of them have programs in place to help people in these situations, whether that be by providing you with food/supplies for your pet when you can't afford it, providing free/discount veterinary services, or even temporarily caring for the pet in shelter until you can take them back.

At my shelter, we have what we call "community days" once or twice a month. This is when we give away any extra donations we receive to the community. Although anyone is welcome to come and take what they need, these are usually intended for those who are homeless, low income, or otherwise need some help.

We also have a program called "urgent care". With this program, we take in pets temporarily when their families aren't able to care for them. This could be one of the situations mentioned above or something like recovering from a surgery/illness, being incarcerated, etc. The reason doesn't matter. While in this program, the pets are taken care of like any other animals at the shelter with one main difference -- it's all confidential. Most of our shelter is open to the public to come visit and meet the animals but the urgent care animals are kept upstairs, which is staff only. We also aren't allowed to take any photos of the animals or to discuss them with anyone. As general staff and volunteers, we also know nothing about the family's situation or what brought the pet here. That's kept extremely private.

One other program that we have -- which is less common -- is what we call a "fundraiser spotlight". Each month, we spotlight a fundraiser to help pets. This is usually to pay for veterinary care but can be for anything really. The fundraiser is posted in the newsletter, on the social media pages, etc. and they usually get filled very quickly. I don't know anything about the specifics of how the fundraisers are chosen or what goes on (it's not my job) but it's a great program anyways.

Your local shelters may or may not have simar programs but it's worth a shot! Many of them can at least connect you to people who can help.
