Hey, I saw your messages and people blaming you for not "blocking hate" or whatever and I just wanted to say you are not alone and these people are wrong. The internet is a truly horrible place most of the time and you have every right to be angry and hurt. But you matter, your life matters, what you do matters. Is there something that you are passionate about or something you like to do to take care of yourself? I'm sending you my love and good vibes!

The ‘funny’ thing is I DO block hate, it’s just so constant that no matter how much I block it it’ll keep coming, every single day, many times a day.

No one seems to get that me being openly and proudly myself is what brings it the most, not ~showing weakness~ (or as I call it ‘being a human person with feelings and not pretending otherwise’) or daring to mention it (apparently if you’re bullied, you should stay silent about it or it’s your fault?) 

‘Ignoring’ bullies has NEVER made them ‘go away’ for me. It’s always made them escalate. The more confident I am, or the more I ‘just ignore them’ the *worse* they get. 

People claim I’ve just ‘never even tried’ when believe me, I have. They’re acting like I just started getting bullied five minutes ago for showing human emotion. It’s complete bullshit.

Hiya Ashley! First, congratulations on your awesome blog, i really love it ! I wanted to ask you, when you say that borzois are "low maintenance" dogs what do you mean exactly ? Cause i find that breed incredibly beautiful but i want to be sure that i'll offer my future dog the best life he can have and that's why i wanted a bit more details ? Lots of love to you and Bandit !!

Aw! Thanks for the kind words! :D When I say low maintenance, I mean that they really just aren’t very demanding dogs. They’re independent, not really needy, have low stimulation needs, and will sleep most of the day. If you get sick and can’t walk them for a day or two, they’re pretty chill about it and won’t tear the house down. On the flip side, if you want to do a day hike, they’re totally down for that too! They’re also really easy with feeding too. Most of the borzoi I know will not gorge themselves if given the opportunity (though some will), and can happily free feed without gaining unhealthy amounts of weight. Their grooming requirements depend on how heavily coated the dog is and coat type. The ladies shed more than the gents. Bandit has so little coat that I only brush him once a month, and bathe him every 4 months (they don’t get dog smell!!).

I might be clumsy and im sorry but i cant just stay silent after your last post and i swear to god its not to make myself feel good and i know you're strong and its not to implie something like "you need a hug" if you don't need one. Nonetheless I'd love to hug you (first of all cause congrats on best blog of all times tbh) or cook brownies with you if you like brownies. Just do something nice with you. I hate these stories i wish you'd never had to write them. You're great and i love your blog.

That's very sweet of you!
