The four words that no parent ever wants to hear from their child...

@twipped awwww poor kiddo

@twipped

if you own a cat you get the same, uh, benefits, but they don't even tell you

[billseitz@toolsforthought.social]

@twipped esp in a taxi

[timwardcam@c.im]

@twipped Again, they should be rewarded for telling you. You don't want to frighten them into running away and not telling you next time.

@twipped but how can we say good bye to someone who has been with us for our whole lives by dean lewis my best singer and i think he was true 100 percent

@benroyce @twipped I had one once who would announce she was about to puke with a weird little string of rhythmic yowls that reminded me of some kind of prayer chant. It sounded almost pretty until I realized what it meant.

@Ashmire @twipped

sounds that lead right to the fear center of the brain

for me it's discovering things days later in corners of the house mostly unvisited by humans. all of existence becomes dread

@benroyce @twipped I've been having a little of that lately myself, as I hadn't realized when I adopted my current dog that he'd apparently been kept entirely outdoors and never fully house-trained. 🫤

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@Ashmire @twipped

oof!

the joys of encyclopedic knowledge of cleaning products

[anxiousmac@mstdn.social]

@twipped Particularly if your partner has slept through the announcement. True story.

[twipped@twipped.social]

@Ashmire @benroyce ah, yes, we also have a dog that was never fully house trained

[twipped@twipped.social]

@anxiousmac she did! Thankfully champ got it all into the bucket, he just needed a new shirt

[anxiousmac@mstdn.social]

@twipped The scene which greeted me was, I imagine, similar to the cleanup job they faced after shooting that scene in The Omen.
