Sleepy sheepy

[soc_puppet]

Just spent the last three-ish hours hosting a Neighborhood Dog Party with my parents, and I am le tired. Honestly, thank goodness I drafted the next Summer of the 69 theme before I went to sleep last night. I was anticipating being exhausted more from work than dog party, but dog party ran way later than I expected it to.

(Neighborhood Dog Party explanation: In the Before Times, with our previous dog, Chester, Mom liked to host a neighborhood party on his birthday and invite all the neighbors and their dogs to hang out in our front yard. There would be treats for dogs and for people, water bowls and water bottles (and other beverages), and places to sit and chat. This was our first one since 2020. It was a lot of fun, but yeah, tired now.)

Aw, the neighborhood dog party sounds lovely... but also yeah, very tiring!

It was pretty great! I had a fair amount of down time, wherein I copied out my dog treat recipe for anyone who wanted it onto notecards, and then drew a few of the dogs on extra notecards, so it was less exhausting than it might have been. And then I had a pretty fun conversation with a teenage neighbor who also has ADHD! But it was still a lot of time, and I had barely gotten any internet-ing done before then, so I was ready for a break.

That sounds like a lot of fun, but also like it would be a tiring day.

Neighborhood Dog Party is the best!

I think I've seen a few of his Tweets reposted elsewhere, but I don't really do a lot of video watching online, so I hadn't seen it.

Oh, that's adorable! For anyone interested in clicking through, TW for animal illness for the fourth dog shown, and TW for major animal abuse for the fifth dog shown. But everyone has a happy ending! Animals are great ♥

Sorry about the grimness — content notes FTW

No worries; everything shown is during treatment, and I used to watch a lot of Animal Cops, so it wasn't a particularly nasty surprise for me. But I figured I'd mention it for the Just In Cases.
