Gay coyote-with-a-hint-of-collie in a redwood forest. Art, pictures, words, fiddle, equestrian, handler of a beloved and diverse pack. She/her, flexibly. 18+

Pedestrian wolf; animal eloquence, sometimes.
Pinned
For my own organization, my hounds' 3 runs on 4.19.25 (really the last third of the runs; as best I can manage after slipping them, without missing anything). This is their morning run.
Here is Phoenix, napping as close to the roasting turkey as she can possibly get. "Napping" has never been pointier or more alert, somehow.

Comfortable snuggling among the small and sweatered!

Nebula does not require and would resent a sweater bc she is a cat but Lady doesn't have actual dog fur

These are pretty clear for pet void pics, actually; Nebula is hard to photograph

He's so soft! And full of opinions! He's 7 months old, and my largest cat.

Fuck that noise, do it even if you're old. I learned tattooing at 43. I learned editing and publishing at 46.

There is always still time to do or learn new stuff.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Thanks to parents Peanut and Butter at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and our partnership with the global coalition ReShark, this tiny pup represents real hope for her species.

More amazing hybrid costume/puppetry stuff.

Suspension-of-disbelief level: even the cameraman points to stuff and interacts as if the character can see anything. 💯

What if this but werewolf?

a few years ago I made a mari lwyd puppet and while my partner was taking pictures for me, she kept sort of subconsciously reacting to it like it was a real horse, which was fun.

it doesn't need to LOOK real if it MOVES real
