a doggy’s blog

I know I’m being an insufferable worldbuilding nerd here, but my basic metric for evaluating media with very inhuman protagonists is “how easily can one offer a complete and coherent account of this media’s plot without ever mentioning the fact that the protagonist is, for example, a talking car?”. The harder it is, the higher it scores.

going to my den(bed) to curl up with my pups(plushies) on the sticks(blankets) i gathered in the forest(my closet) to sleep under the cool moon(my fan)

i wanna be a wolf and just snap my teeth and roll in the dirt i wanna walk for miles just wandering because the earth if my home and my home is the earth i wanna shake my head to get something off my head and i wanna run around the fields early in the morning before the fog clears

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

No they aren’t.

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

OK yes they are.

Dog

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

yeah they’re fluffye

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

fluffye

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

yeah they’re all exactly right. as for the “gotcha” person, tanukis are LITERALLY called raccoon-dogs in english due to their resemblance and relation to dogs. the colloquial names for just about any canid but especially members of canina are “___ wolf” or “___ dog”, even if they’re not technically too closely related to specifically wolves and dogs because that’s just how we name them. They’re all dogs.

Ummmm...some of you are a dogy's or a pupy's

he/it but in the 'default gender for any animal' kind of way
