The animantion looks great! :) Though I don't remember the outfit being so sheer..? The bits of floof look good. ^_^

:'( I'm sorry to hear about those mean dogs.. But I'm glad the kitty allowed you to bring it in to stay. And I hope kitty and chihuahua get along and become good friends. :)

(sorry, i went on a bit of a tangent about our cat George because I love him...) My dad has an orange kitty that is an outdoor cat. He comes inside and gets fed whenever he wants, and there's a litter box for when they have to Make him stay inside during the harshest parts of winter or summer (it can get pretty bad sometimes). But he always eventually wants outside and my dad wants him to be happy. So we just pray he stays safe. :) He comes in almost every day though.
^^' I always find it funny how much my dad's turned into a cat guy though. He spoils him with fancy canned food and a heated bed outside. Dad would have never treated a pet that well when I was younger (all cheap food and 'why would they need a bed?'). George the cat and Pepper their small dachshund are friends that both get spoiled compared to any previous pet my family has ever had. And that makes me happy that that's possible now.
Another stray we took care of was a tuxedo with very floofy fur. He would try and bring us 'presents' in baby rabbits but couldn't understand why we didn't want them.. ^
^" He was simply named 'Tom'. He lived a good life, I think. But passed years ago. We still see some of his lineage around the neighborhood, and that makes me smile.

(ahem.. went long.. sorry..)

^_^ Wishing you and your chihuahua and kitty a warm winter! <3

Mine gknow they will, mine allow them to curl into mine bed when mine sleep. They all feel safe together be it cold or heat, the cats often show their appreciation. Mine do like seeing the chihuahuas sleeping on a bed in front of mine stove.

The last outdoor cats are toughing out the days, but these are the more independent types.

Only one class nest week before Thanksgiving, zo mine may take a lax pace with the last chapter's reading. Two chapters in ten days is more than doable, if mine break down the sessions.

my Dad was the same, then he retired and turned into a cat lover. Before it was always just dogs, when he passed he had 5 cats. Seems the strays knew where the food was at, he also left his door open a bit so his cats could come and go as they liked. He would actually fall asleep in his lounger, and petting cats in his sleep and sometimes there wasnt even a cat there on his lap at the time. So we teased him about petting his invisible cat.

Finally starting to feel better, I had a really bad cold. First thing I did test for COVID, lucky it was negative.

<p>So, I guess it&;s just the way I look at it. It&;s ok to feel scared as hell, angry, confused, and all the feels. I would not be human if I was always happy go lucky. But it&;s about not staying in the muck. It&;s about getting up, and knowing that I am not alone. No matter how much it feels like that at times. It&;s about family, and friends, and even strangers. It&;s about people I will never meet, but who my life will impact in some way that I will never know. I could stay inside my head, and feel sorry for myself, and the lot I have been given, and I have at times. I just can&;t stay there - it&;s too dark and lonely. I am not looking to be brave, or for accolades. I am just living my life, to the best of my ability, for as long as my Maker allows. I am just like everyone else, given this choice - it&;s either fight, or die. I am just grateful I have a choice. There are those who do not.

I could not agree more if I tried. I really could not.

: What are your plans for American Thanksgiving? Will you make some of your famous cactus fruit sorbet?

: Thank you for your very nice compliment. Yes, the little suit is quite shear, but only so that I could see how the 'fabric' could move against the figure. This is the first animation where I also had a shading layer for all the colors, and I had to be able to see how all the colors moved too. Not to worry, it's not like I'm naked under those little scraps of digital fabric, I still have my glorious pure white fur to cover my nakedness.

: Does the Lady still battle? Or is she in semi retirement? She is my Madison's idol. Maddy has risen to level 12 now and can topple most creatures...not all. She didn't finish off Rouland this year, but she earned a Maniacle Core this summer for her participation during the gelatin war.

Fireside is my absolute favorite holiday on Subeta, mostly for it's symbolic meaning in my personal life...

brief recap of my history on subeta

I was born and raised on Terra in Glen Meadow. I was banished from my community, wrongly accused of murder. For my protection, Master Sparkles Wheezle, my uncle, and Weldon Saint George, my personal Watcher, conspired to exile me here on Subeta back in 2009. I was conscripted aboard the interplanetary pirate ship The Midnight Lamp and eventually I mutinied after I stole a fighter ship to effect my escape.

My first encounter with the Red Rreign was the next Autumn and he embraced me, kissed me and told me to return to Terra, where a terrible fate awaited me. My return brought about the Great Civil War in which my accused and his army fought the Woodland Council. The Council prevailed and I was named Queen, but I was still banished and couldn't live on Terra, I had to return to Subeta. I set up my home on Omen Island and began a work treating the seduced and abandoned, under-represented and abused on Atebus and Delphi. The next Autumn, the Red Rreign kissed me and told me to return to Terra and wed Weldon in the Spring. The next Fall's kiss from the Rreign heralded the birth of my first litter with Weldon. Subsequent visits to Bonfire annunciated other litters, wedding announcements of my offspring, and the eventual lifting of my banishment back on Terra.

It's the Magic of the Rreign that allows me to live in two world concurrenty without ill effect. It's the love of the Rreign that has kept me hopeful for goodness to reign in my world on Terra and to share my love with my friends here on Subeta. This is why I consider the Red Rreign my patron saint.

I'm in Fresno for the next two weeks, for the American Thanksgiving Holiday. I'm staying with my Author Mark and his mate, Francine. ON Wednesday, we'll be traveling by train to Lodi to see Grandmama Donna, Uncle Partick and Uncle Ted. We'll return to Fresno by train on Friday evening. I love trains, they serve the best peanuts and greasy meat sticks.

Yes, I am a role-playing character, but I don’t bite (much.)

She does indeed but I believe the roles with the Lady and Maddy have been reversed. Being gone for such large gaps in time which can be difficult to measure since no one ever really knows what time it is the Lady has lost her rank and position amoung the top pets and is once more a beginner with very little retained knowledge on how any of the shit works or how to use it. But she tries when she remembers that battling was once what kept the fires of her pelt blazing bright. Which reminds me, I believe she can once again train, I should do that.

I was going to ask you about that but I hardly can explain to myself why I'm not where I thought I was so I didn't pry, but now that you're back.. where did you go? I got caught up trying to avoid memories and come spring winding up right in the middle of some surprisingly unusual tornadic tendencies of mother earth.

.. knock knock.. who's there? a really confused pal who forgot everything there was to remember about fireside. A little help?

edits Freddy.. "brief recap of my history on subeta" I love that

Mine plans are foggy, mine uncertain if any of mine siblings would invite mine to their homes, or if they'll visit with plates for mine and our father. Mine could make a batch, tho the tubb of brown sorbet is yet unfinished.

Mine have no real plans for this week, only one class tomorrow, and the holiday leaving the remaining time open. The weather is favorable, zo mine will call a client to offer continuing their yardwork paid or not.

: Because Madison is a tier 12, she now only trains by doing Battle Challenges. She gained a lot of stats by the Event Challengers that have popped up...like the Jellies and the Morostide Challengers. Training with Jim has gotten too expensive and time consuming for the puny number of stat points he awards.

I didn't see Lady Aflame's stat points, Is she Tier 12?

: Cactus fruit sorbet is brown? I thought it would be florescent purple or flaming red. Do you use prickly pear fruit?

After a long time with the bears again, I am looking for your company today... sorry for the long post, but I know there is always a free place with the bears if you need it.. my little one, my little soul, my life went over the rainbow bridge... she was so bad that i didn't recognize her anymore... i was desperate because she starved to death from her full bowl.. animals don't know that she can die, but you notice when something is wrong and it's time to go.. she didn't want to be hugged anymore, didn't want to cuddle anymore, sleep with me and in the end didn't eat anything anymore.. i've tried everything, many in the forums tips, advice, but nothing helped.. you stand by helplessly and know that you have to make a decision and so i had the long conversation with her that nobody wants to have.. she listened quietly the whole time, saw me with her big ones wide eyes trusting and i felt like a traitor... the best medicine can't help when the animal has made up its mind... unfortunately the vet couldn't come home and i got an appointment 2 days later... the longest 2 days of my l also.. the vet was very sensitive and was there the whole time and when my soul got the first injection, she opened the window... do you know that..? this is also done in the hospital so that the soul can go on its journey... my little one died very quietly in my arms and took my heart with her... she is now in my garden, a decision that i regret, because it's cold outside, it's raining and snowing... she's definitely freezing and getting all wet... and it's eating me up when I think about what's happening on the ground... I'm so lonely without her... we are grown together in the 14 years and she was always with me, always... even when I was feeling so bad with corona and I didn't want her with me, she was always close to me, didn't leave my side and now where it is she felt bad i just took the last step... my brother said; no matter what you decide, it's wrong... how right he was... the veterinarian said her kidneys had started to fail and then there's not much to be done, she was in great pain and even though it tore me up, I had to do what nobody wants to do.. you always think you have all the time in the world... there is no longer a stormy greeting when i come home.. nobody wakes me up early in the morning and demands breakfast right away... no discussions about who is doing it food on my plate belongs... nobody sitting in front of the toilet and staring at me and i can't sleep because nobody is lying on my chest to stroke until i fall asleep... where have the years gone, the little one is yesterday just moved in... the pain in my heart is hard to bear... it's not like hurting, it must feel like dying... i think only someone who has had to let an animal go himself understands that... as she walked slowly over the bridge I told her that her sister and aunt would come and pick her up and help her to find her place in the tall grass in the sun that she loves so much and when she has arrived correctly she should look for the tree of hearts in a large meadow stands... a huge tree with branches that are heavy from all the hearts hanging on it... every heart belongs to a master, a mistress, a friend and every animal can only see this one heart that is only intended for him.. Let her look for the one only she can see 'cause it's mine and when it shines we can talk together and I'll hear her and see her in the clouds and when the day comes I'll see her when she comes running and I can visit her and it will be like always again, finally...

after 14 years I am for the first time all alone... home is no longer home, outside everything looks different, i have the feeling that i have lost my anchor and when i am outside i think; what's the matter with you all..? don't you see my tears, don't you hear how my heart is crying..? no, nobody sees or hears it and that's a good thing... this pain belongs only to me... it helps my torn heart to keep beating... every tear is a loving reminder of all the years I spent with my little, wonderful friend... if people would see all the tears we weep for our animals, feel all the pain our hearts suffer, she would drown in the sea of ​​tears and die from the unbearable pain... that belongs probably with that when we bring 4 little paws home... we don't think about them coming, taking us by storm, stealing our hearts and taking them with them when they leave... if someone asked me today what the hardest thing about it was is to have an animal, I would say; to let it go... + Sanne with Püppie in her heart +

Purple sorbet made from purple fruit doesn't discolor, but the batch made from green fruit turned brown from the agave nectar. This was much darker than the brand mine normally use, mine may try granulated sugar to sweeten an upcoming batch.

Mine lost another critter, the last older hen died last night's cold. From what mine found she died asleep, small comfort considering...Zo, unless the cold claims the last one mine flock is limited to the geese mine raised.

Mine can update about Thanksgiving, mine sister invited mine to her house, if our father plans to visit his brothers. Our brothers may also have us respectively. Mine may be given word at some point.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose a fur baby. It's amazing how much love and joy they can bring into our lives.
Grief is a complicated process, take the time you need to mourn your loss. Just know, you will get through this. My prayers are with you my friend.

I am crying with you after reading your heart wrenching post ... crying for your loss and all of the fur babies I have lost. The loss of an animal is so hard to bear, even harder than a friend or relative. They live with you, love you, give you comfort and when they are not there you keep listening for their bark or purr or footsteps, you keep wanting to pat them but they are not there. I lost my last dog to cancer which eventually gave her liver failure. I had 2 years after her operation to prepare myself for the inevitable. And when I had to make that awful decision it was devastating even though I knew I was doing the right thing by her. I swore I was never going to have another pet as the hurt was too much. ... but time does heal your heartbreak and I finally got another dog. My heart was big enough to take him in and although I will never forget Rosie or Spud or Nelson and the others, he has given me joy, laughter and love ... not too mention the stinky farts. I bless the day he came into my life.

Take your time my friend and grieve for your loss. Everyone grieves differently and for different times as we are all different. But it is important to remember the good times you had and all the happy memories as well. I know you will get through this.

I still miss our sweet best dog ever and it has been three years. I have also lost a dear kitty I had for many years...I'm pretty sure that cat knew me better than I know me. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤ It gets a little easier with time but your heart will always have a spot for your little friend.

.. wiping at my eyes as I sit crosslegged near you and extend my hand in sorrowful understanding as silent tears also wash my cheeks along with our beloved -ie and DJ

As more of our lair read the pain you've allowed us to see happening in your heart my dear friend I remain quiet, wondering what I could say to bring just a bit of comfort but when you lose someone who's left their footprints on your heart .. if there were words that could dull the hurt.. just for a moment or two.. but sadly there are not. I still find myself in situations where I begin to buy something that catches my eye for Bently BB Bently Beagle I get the hell outta wherever Im at asap, fighting to keep a grip, my eyes brimming and my heart breaking all over again. I miss him so much.. so so much.

I read something after losing him that brought me both to tears and to a somewhat better place inside that I decided to make into a plaque that I put with his toys, I'll go get it ..

I do remember the last line.. You have never experienced true love, not stuff written in fairy tales, no. I'm talking about nothing less than unconditional and pure love until you've been lucky enough to have been picked as the person for a pet.

I was just a pup when we first met, I loved you from the start. You picked me up and took me home, and placed me in your heart. Good times we had together, we shared all life could throw. But years passed all too quickly, my time has come to go. I know how much you miss me, I know your heart is sore. I see the tears that fall, when I'm not waiting at the door. You always did your best for me, Your love was plain to see. For even though it broke your heart, You set my spirit free. So please be brave without me, one day we'll meet once more. For when you're called to heaven, I'll be waiting at the door.

“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.” – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I doubt the words hold much comfort but a bear's gotta try.

My heart is on the ground for you luv. I am so sorry.
