Cobweb-forest - ♡They/them, Age 29♡ Hate Is A Choice, Choose Love

Sometimes I just stare into the mirror for long periods of time, I don't recognize my features are my reflection but I'm desperatly looking for something I recognize. I look at my paws they look wrong there not mine. I feel my phantom fur blow in the wend. I feel my phantom tail wag when happy or my ears go down when I'm scared. yet people say I'm doing this for attention. I'm not I honestly feel distressed when I am reminded there a phantom feeling, it makes me horrible.

Tips for fellow dog therians 🐾🦴🐕

☆ wear fur colors! It probably seems simple and like an obvious one but it can easily get overlooked. I wear lots of black and brown, as well as loose clothes to mimic that dense fur look

☆ peanut butter (and other related foods like red meat) can be nice too. I like getting peanut butter crackers from the vending machine or just anything with peanut butter. Nuts and other small crunchy foods can imitate kibble

☆ cuddle up with fellow pets and people

☆ toys! Plush bones, stuffed animals, balls, ect. Can all make great toys for when you have the zoomies

☆ curling up in bed and doing that big dog sigh

☆ gear that aren’t masks and tails! Don’t get me wrong, masks and tails are cool but not the easiest to go out in public with. Some of my favorite more subtle ones are: bracelets with paws or says dog related things on them, converse with paws on them, attaching a leash to my belt (like those grunge chains), dog bone shaped tag with my name on it that I put on a necklace chain, and stuff like that :)

☆ watching documentaries or dog movies or even just watching videos on YouTube of your breed

☆ similarly, playing video games like wolf simulator, animal jam, or whatever

☆ going onto AKC.com and looking at your breed or other breeds and reading all the cool facts and info on them

☆ scratching behind your ear, shaking your head when disoriented or confused, and other doggy mannerisms

☆ make mood boards and collages! I like using the app called shuffles

☆ CAR RIDES especially with the windows down, making ur fur ruffle in the wind

☆ hiking or walking trails

☆ chewlery or cosplay fangs for chomping (from W1ld-wo1fw4lk3r)

Any you think I forgot or want to include? Let me know :) I’m gonna add to this list as I think of more things

I saw a similar post to this and I was inspired to make it more personal to me. I can't remember the creature that I saw do the stoner post if I could find them again I would definitely tag them

I went splat doing quadrobics. I started shifting, got too excited, and tried to run on all fours, smacking my chin on the tile floor. I'm going to start practicing core exercises more so maybe I can be stronger to jump and run more
