it's the one year anniversary of my mom's death today and my anxiety is through the roof. I already have a plan to deal with today that involves mostly comfort videos, water, and my favorite candy.

I might not have the energy to respond to everyone but if you could send me a cute pic or story about your pet(s) that would be nice.

thanks fedi, I love this wacky place

@sugar My brother's dog, Charlie. He was more carpet than dog. Total nudnik.

@sugar This is Mu (tabby) and Ruby (grey)! They don't get along extremely well but have learned to behave for food/treats and also when there's something EXCITING going on, like the sudden appearance of a box in their midst.

@sugar We don't know each other and this isn't even my pet, but I just saw a woman leave a grocery store and she let her French bulldog carry the baguette and i think that's beautiful.

@sugar This is Marceline. She is a fluffy little goblin who likes to sit where it is least convenient for others (in this photo, she is leaning on my keyboard, making it impossible to type).

@sugar Cute pet story:

When Levi was a little baby puppy he used to almost exclusively walk/run sideways (like literally tripping over himself to run fully sideways while facing forwards), and we got worried he may have an injury or pain or something so we asked our vet about it and she checked him and and watched him walk and was just like "yea, he's totally fine, he just hasn't really figured out existing yet. lots of puppies have a weird little behavior like this, it'll probably just fade with time", and sure enough after a few months he (mostly) stopped doing it (he still runs semi-sideways when he gets really excited sometimes).

Then like 6m later we got Noah and he kept just randomly from standing still just kinda slowly falling down to laying on his side then looking around the room oddly- and since we had been through the Levi situation we were like "okay, maybe this is his weird puppy behavior... but we should deff check since this seems like it could easily be a health issue too", and the vet very calmly was just like "he doesn't realize he has to actively stay standing to... you know... stay standing. See, how he keeps looking around after he falls? he's confused how he got on the ground. he'll figure it out soon" (he did)

Both behaviors were legitimately the funniest and cutest things I've ever seen in my life.

Also: Baby Levi (pic 1) and baby Noah (pic 2) tax
