Coping with anger issues, anxiety, and a trigger by taking photos of our Void Puppy. They are helping a lot.

Sorry for inactivity, have not felt well. But here is Nightshade in the blacklight. (Ignore the blue gloves, we were medicating our hands for an eczema flare.)

We got this gorgeous little man today (douglas gloria gryphon). Were very worried his longer fur would be coarse, but it's actually a very nice texture. Not silky soft, but soft in a textured way. He has a lot of different textures, which is always so good for managing pain and grounding. He already helped us deal with some pain earlier. Noticed a huge difference in how much pain we processed when petting him vs not.

Probably going to name him Orion, Ori for short. Not 100% sure though.

Also, if you want to see our review of him, it's posted here:

Weighted our fluffy pomeranian by Douglas (retired) and replaced their stuffing with silky soft instead. And now they can sit up! And their legs dangle when we hold them up. Which is weirdly important to us 😅 Really excited that he can be put in more dynamic poses instead of just laying down now. Still deciding on a new name for him, but currently considering Helix.

He is home! Had to take him outside for the first time pretty much immediately. & We saw a butterfly together! It flew away before I could photograph it, but it was really lovely.

Sending out into the universe that I desperately need him T^T

thank you!

They're both douglas brand. Void Puppy is the retired St John newfoundland. Looking for them directly, they can be expensive, but they get mislisted as the in production Bundy Newfoundland all the time for way cheaper (that's how I got Void).

Had a breakdown during a gastro visit. Thankfully, our partner took over and advocated for us. We are getting a bunch of tests done to figure our what is wrong with our stomach.

After we calmed down, Void Puppy agreed to endure a bit of sunlight for a photoshoot. Couldn't stay outside long, as there were mowers nearby and we are extremely allergic to grass.

If you're on Pinterest, I recommend deleting your content and account. They are casually adding AI modified to content with no verification, no warning, nothing. This is extremely harmful to artist's reputations. I didn't even know they had done that to this picture until I got a hate comment for it.
