A handful of puffball mushrooms—they are small and rounded like dumplings, with no stems, and the interiors are solid white with a slightly different texture.

causal living with an ancient mythological creature

Bodhi is a pharaoh hound—a lean, chestnut-colored dog with amber eyes, very large pointed ears, and a narrow pointed snout. He looks like a majestic ancient creature lounging on my back deck.

A relief carving of a dog. Because the internet is now filled with unreliable AI regurgitation, I can’t confirm that this is from an ancient Egyptian carving. But it sure looks like it, doesn’t it?

when strangers ask, I’ve been calling him a sight hound as short-hand (most people know what a greyhound is). but actually Bodhi is a kind of warren hound. AND he has already caught and killed a rat. so he’s the smartest most fastest and handsomest warren hound :)

when we take the collar off he looks like a long pervert

Bodhi, a pharaoh hound, has a long smooth chestnut-colored neck.

Bodhi works at a plush toy with his front teeth. Doing this makes his front snout get all wrinkly.

The top of my ikea bookshelf currently hosts two different Jolteon plushies, a “vintage” Dark Jolteon card, and a newly-arrived Chinese Jolteon TCG gift box.

my typically aloof/ironic 19 yo picked up a bug hobby. he’s got two enclosures rn: one with three Isabella tiger cocoons and a silver-spotted tiger caterpillar, and the other with a banana slug and like 2-3 handfuls of isopods. how do I machinate this so it ends with him majoring in entomology

A small terrarium in the shape of a house with three gables. It contains soil, several twigs, assorted leaves and needles, as well as three cocoons and a stray caterpillar.

there’s quite a few stands along my favorite creek, despite trail management’s attempts to cut them down :)

A stand of tall Oplopanax horridus bristling with spikes and crowned with large, flat leaves. A few are beginning to create puffy spires of flowers.

recently became obsessed with devil’s club (Oplopanax horridus). what a super intense plant. found this bit of dried stem on a walk and I keep poking my fingers with it for fun.
