Ok, Mastodon, this is your first test. I'm having an emotionally awful week. Can you do the bird site thing and supply cute pics of dogs and cats and bats?
Thanks everyone earlier, you were very kind with the cute animals. I had a day that was parts rough and parts long and am finally home with my good boy and can respond do your sweet toots.
@maloki so flipping sweet.
@ruth I wasn't allowed to bring it home even though I passed a course today. 😂
@mcread that's a pretty excellent search, I'm gonna have to remember it.
@ruth it is on duckduckgo
@mcread of course it is. :)

@ruth Maybe not so cute, but here's a wolf jaw recovered from archaeological excavations of an early Etruscan context:

@ekansa You would be surprised how exactly this is my area of calming.
@ruth here's ours just come for a cuddle!
@theoutrider omg I couldn't handle if mine were that floods
@ruth if u insist 😸
@tobypinder so pettable
@ruth and believe me she demands it!
@ruth https://mastodon.social/media/hXpAvRObXb3yAgprRuU Another of my Uncle's dogs. So soft and also carries his bowl and bops you with it at food times.
@ruth https://mastodon.social/media/rJXNHx3YfmHquEXsNTc Third dog carries his teddy and shows it to you. Does not want to tug or fetch, he just likes it and wants you to see it and pet him.
@pobocks your family is truly blessed. Thank you.
@ruth Have you seen kitten.academy ?
@ruth well I'm trying to send you some but I keep getting a failure message. 🤷🏻‍♀️ so here's some emojis instead. 🐶🐱🐰🐣🦉🦇🐳🐙🐬🦑
@ruth hi I'm late but this is my jam when it comes to calming down: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/angk/hd_angk.htm
@deagle this is very much how I calm, thank you.
@ruth This is Bogart, named for Humphrey. Very much loves people.
@randomgeek looks v. soft

@ruth he is. This is him asking why I'm taking a picture instead of petting him.

Hope your week picks up.
