:dogeparrot: SniffiVerse™ walkies Toot :annoyingdog: Ello frens and fans of Arwen :verified_paw: We're out for walkies :kirby_walk: again. 😊 The weather is nice enough, with a lovely waning 🌖 moon... I did my best at the gym, as much as my leg allowed. I rode 35 minutes and then enjoyed the massage chair for ten. I was earlier, so it was busier. Which wasn't too good, but my music and phone helped to distract me. 😊 Today should be a decent enough day. I need to finish my journal post, but that's almost done already. I wanna build the laptop table that I bought yesterday. And I want to change the curtains in the bedroom. The old curtains will need a wash, and then I hope that I can make a friend happy with them... I need some groceries today, and I'll have my PT. I can discuss the upcoming surgery then. And, hopefully, my PT will know something that could help my annoying elbow... If the weather will allow, and if Arwen is interested, I'd like to take her to the Herperduin again. I know she really loves it... :flying_hearts: it's such a joy to watch her have a good time there. Let's see if I can write a bit for my blog now... Hope you've all had a good start of the new week! :darkmodeparrot: 🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾 #PixysJourney #Moon

#Journal of a slightly emotional Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Monday, 14/04/2025). I woke before the alarm, and it was still early, as it was a little of an hour before the alarm was set to go off. But I had some weird dreams and I was awake, so I just started my day... The scale wasn't too bad, which was nice. I got dressed, took my meds, prepped Arwen's food, and I took her out. She did what she had to to, and then was eager to head back in, as it was food time. When she was happily eating, I got my bag, said goodbye, and headed to the gym. I caught up with the social media bits while I enjoyed my protein shake and while I was waiting for the meds to kick in... I started a GoFundMe for then the hardest time of my life will come, and I'll need funds to make sure that I can take Arwen home again... 😢 (https://www.gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen). It was hard to do, but I know that I'll need the help and it needs to be arranged before the time comes and I'll be a wreck (and I guess I'll need the funds quickly then, as I think they won't do it for free...). Then I got to the seated bike. And, my leg was kind this time, as I even managed 40 minutes. 😊 I enjoyed the massage chair after that. Switched my shoes, and quickly headed back to Arwen. Washed up, changed clothes, and had brekky. The weather was decent enough, so that was a plus. We had a nice, short, walk. Arwen seemed pleased with the shorter walk. Maybe she was already hoping that we would be able to go to the water side later that day? 😇 I changed clothes and headed to the hometrainer. I managed another 40 minutes. Then I even got a few other exercises in, yay me. I went downstairs, got my laptop, and worked on my journal blog post. I finsiehd all that I could do, so that felt good. Then Arwen wanted some walkies again so we headed out together. We had a nice walk, and when we got back, we relaxed on the couch for a bit. When it was getting light out, I got Arwen's towel and asked if she'd be interested... Ow my, she was... 🤩 So of course that brought me to shed some tears... We headed to the Herperduin, and I even managed some vids and snaps of her. Just a short walk, with a few splashes. She was tired when we got to Skoosh, but she seemed to be rather happy, so I'll definitely take that! 😁 We headed back home, where I made some food. We relaxed on the couch, while we waited for our friend to text me about Ikea. Around 9, I walked Arwen. She was fortunate, as we saw the neighbor again... 😋 When we walked back, our friend was pulling up, so she hugged the dogs, and then we got ready to head to Ikea. The drive there was OK enough, but somehow, in a short time, three "lion cars" thought it OK to cut me off... 🤔 My friend wondered if I had a bumper sticker, saying that I hate lions! 😂 The rest of the drive went well, and we got a decent parking spot. We got all that we came for, so that's a plus. When we got back to the car, I was just setting up the navigation, when I heard a car horn. That could not be for me? My car was in neutral, and I was still in my spot. But... That seemed to be the problem! Some bimbo in an OOOO car (as I call them...) really wanted my spot! 🤔 She wanted it so badly, that she was annoyed when she had to move to give me space so that I could head out... 🤔 She was all set up to "get it in", forgetting that Skoosh first had to get out... But I felt so weird! I wasn't doing anything bad, there were plenty of spaces left, but she felt agressive towards me because I didn't vacate the space quickly enough? Ah well... The drive home went OK and Arwen was glad to see us back. We walked with Arwen, and our friend noticed that Arwen's health was really declining... 😔 When we got back, she headed back home, and I fixed food for Arwen and me. The weather was nice, so I wanted to be in the garden with my eBook. Arwen joined me in the shade, but at some point, she wanted me to go inside. I told her she could go. But that didn't work. She just lay in the sun, panting heavily, until I got my stuff together and we could both head inside. Guess she really wanted to be with me... We got ready for walkies with N&B. I got something at Ikea for N, so we took that along. We had a nice walk, and it was warm enough to be enjoyable. Then Arwen and I relaxed a bit, till she told me that she wanted to head out again. So we went for the last walkies before bed, and she did all she needed to do. I got the bedroom door open again, so Arwen could warn me should she need me... It took a little while to fall asleep. I had a weird dream and woke up, thinking it was time already. But it was still 3½ hours till the alarm. Went to the loo. Slept again for a hour. Woke again, turned around, and after a while I fell asleep again. Around 21:50, still a bit early, I heard Arwen pacing around so I got up and started my day. The scale was nice. 😊 And when we headed out, Arwen did a biiiiig wee, so I guess she was glad that I got up a bit earlier. So yeah, that's how I started my new day/night. 🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾 #PixysJourney #WeirdFolks @weirdfolks group

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: I is early today.... Woke up because I heard Arwen. So I quickly started my day. And I think Arwen was pleased to see me earlier, as she did a big wee.... Her tummy seems to be doing a bit better. Less smelly winds and the poo 💩 seems better too. But still, even though her head still wants to go on, her body slowly fades... 😢 It makes me so sad to see her... But as long as she shows me that she wants to keep going... I'll do anything I can to keep her comfy and happy. 😊 Yesterday (well, as I'm earlier now, it was actually earlier today 😂 this can be confusing 😂) I went to Ikea for a bit. The drive there was OK enough, but somehow, in a short bit of the route, there were the three "lion cars" that all tried to cut me off... 🤔 My friend wondering if I had a sticker on the back of Skoosh saying that I didn't like lions 😂. The shopping was quickly done, which was a plus. But then... We were back in Skoosh, and I was entering the data in the navigation. I heard a honk. 🤔 But it seemed that a "lady" in a OOOO car really wanted my spots (yeah as there were no other spots available 😂). So I "had to hurry" for her! Euh... Hmm... But! She was blocking the path and... I could not get out because of her. 😂 Then she was even more annoyed (maybe even angry), because she had to make space for me to actually get out of the spot before she was able to get in. But really, when you get into the car... I should be "allowed" to enter the data in the navigation before I drive off? 🤔 So while the Ikea went well and I got what I needed, the experience with other drivers was... Weird! I didn't use the Ikea things yet. I wanna build the little laptop table tonight and, hopefully, I'll be able to hang the curtains this morning. But my arms were tired yesterday, and my elbow is still sore now, as I was stubborn and I "just carried" the table to the register and to the car. It wasn't that heavy nor big, (about 12 kilos I think), but it seemed to have been a bit too much for my stupid elbow. 😔 I have PT today (well, tomorrow, 😂), so hopefully my physio can help me some with that stupid elbow... The scale was nice, as it went down a wee bit. I was rather "proud" of myself yesterday, as I managed to have a good calorie count with my food. Which doesn't happen too often. So, yay me! Still, I'm too heavy and should lose some weight... But I'm trying to do my exercises again, so that's something... I had a few donations for the GoFundMe for when Arwen passes... And for that, I'm very grateful! :ablobcatheartsqueeze: I did boost the Toot just now, as I do hope that more people will be able to help. But, every bit helps! In the end, should I not have enough, maybe I could borrow some from someone? 🤔 I won't have anymore costs for Arwen after that, so that should give me a possibility to pay them back more easily? Of course I hope that I won't need the money yet for some time to come!! But I have to be realistic, however much it hurts... Arwen is getting less of what she used to be... :parrot_sad: of course I would love it if she would be able to make it to 12. But yeah, I need to be fair to her and see how she's doing. I never want her to struggle too much, just because I don't wanna say goodbye... :moomin_sad: Well, let's see how today will go for me. I need some groceries, and funds are low, so yay for some stores where I can use the credit card.... My coupon savings from AH almost has a full "booklet" (they used to be booklets, but now it's digital, but they still call it that way). I hope that I can fill it before next week Friday, so I can use the money for Arwen. I'll need to contact the vet, as she may need different pain meds instead of the injections... But I have an email from them, so I will try to email them tonight, to explain the situation and see what they have to say. I'm not big with phone calls, especially when it comes to Arwen now (I really am rather emotional, I just tear up writing this bit... 🫣)... But with Easter this weekend, I doubt that they have a spot for me sooner anyway. But maybe they have meds that I could come and pick up for Arwen. I do want her to be comfy... Anywhoo.... For those wanting to help me to save money for a cremation and urn, the link to the GoFundMe is: https://www.gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen I know she's still alive, but as soon as she crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge, then I'll need to make arrangements... Let's see if I can get a bit of exercise in. Fankoos 🫶🏻 so much for all your support and help! :ablobcatheartsqueeze: I really appreciate it! 🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾 #PixysJourney PS. Snap is Arwen, having fun at the water side this Monday. 😊

Hello @Fedilab Apps it's me again! The app has been working a lot better since the update! There is still one thing that hasn't been fixed with the update... The names of the people that Toot... Often, not all of their name gets displayed. Or if they use emojis, they don't (all) show up. This happened before the update as well, and I'm sure I've mentioned it here sometimes... 😊 The account name shows properly, but often the display name is incomplete. Hopefully this can be corrected with an easy and minor fix? I would really appreciate it, as it's always been my fave app, till it started crashing on me a lot... 😊 Thanks for all the hard work! :blobcatflower:

Owow.... 🫣 I just turned on the notifications for @Fedilab Apps again and the first thing it did was... Crash! Not a good omen... I sent the requested report from the app by email. Hopefully this was just one mistake by the app, and it won't crash again... 🤞🏻

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: I've seen people Toot about Friendica and I was wondering what it is. I know that it's seen as a new way of FB, but better. I've not been on FB in ages, I deleted my account (but I sometimes wonder if it really got deleted... 🤔) years ago... I enjoy Masto, I enjoy Pixelfed and PeerTube, and I was wondering if joining Friendica would add something to my Fedi experience, or if it would be "lost on me". Are any of my friends on there, and can they/you share a bit of what Friendica is all about? I know there are websites and all that, but at the moment, my brain is in a place where things just don't really get seen if they're not "aimed at me". I hope this makes sense, but I mean, it's easier to understand personal messages than a broader public general post. Thanks for sharing, if you can. 😊 Owww and if it should be something I could be interested in, are there any instances you'd recommend me? My Masto favorite "flavor" (it's actually a color 😉) is beige... :bb: :blobcatflower: Fankoos! #Friendica #DareToAsk #Fediverse :fedi:

I saw many folks doing #FANurary and I thought... With all the folks joining #Pixelfed :pixelfed: at this point... I would advise to follow. @npub1vp34...2w2u He's exploring Jacksonville in Florida and he explores *everything*. Nature, buildings, bridges, traintracks... If it's in Jacksonville, he will show it! Plus he's such a nice guy!! I don't often do recommendations, but I thought this one was very worth it!

#Journal of a relaxing Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Saturday, 16/11/2024). TL;DR usual start of the day. Enjoyed chatting with friends, gaming with friends and good walkies with Arwen. I woke 20 minutes before the alarm was set to go off. Did my usual things, and saw a super sweet friend had texted me again. So was very excited about that. 😊 I cared for Arwen, took my meds, and got ready to head to the gym. I enjoyed my protein shake while enjoying the messages even more. I used to chat during the night with this friend, but due to some reasons, they're not able to text during the night. So they often text me when I'm sleeping and then I'll read and reply when they are snoozing. 😊 It can be a bit chaotic, but it's a lot of fun too! I rode the seated bike till my leg gave out again. A massage in the chair and then I headed back to Arwen. Had brekky cleaned her ears, and then we got ready for SniffBook walkies. Arwen wanted a longer but, and the weather was good, so we did it. 😊 It was a nice walk for sure! When we got back, I headed to the pc, as I had some catching up to do. Back downstairs, I got very hungry, so I fixed my food. After that, Arwen wanted walkies again. But she wanted the small SniffBook walkies, and I had not imagined that! It was a nice surprise and we had a good walk again. When we got back, I started the laundry. While the machine was working, I swept the downstairs area. When I had hung the stuff to dry, I sat down for a bit and read some of the Menopausing book. Another walk with Arwen and then some more food. After that, it was time to game! I was joined by two sweet friends and we had a good time! 😁 Then it was time to start the bed tone routine. Walkies was very nice with the neighbor and her dog. When I got to bed, it didn't take too long to fall asleep. 🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾 #PixysJourney #WeirdFolks @weirdfolks group

Hmmmm 😢 It seems that Toot.community isn't working for me at the moment... Maybe I missed an announcement of the instance going in maintenance? 🤔 I tried the other app and I tried the browser and it keeps saying there is an error/issue.... Anyone knows what's happening to Toot.community at the moment?

Please help us! I'm so sorry to have to ask for help. But I'm so worried about Arwen, and I'm so sad to see her struggle... I wish I didn't have to ask for help... But I've stepped over the big pile of shame and I started this GoFundMe. It's set up in Dutch, but it tells all that I've been sharing here. The nasty infection that's now in both her ears. That her piggy bank is empty, and my savings have been used for the house/move. I'm asking for help with the vet bills, for testing, consults and medications. Arwen is my best friend, she saved me from suicide, she's all I have... She's the sweetest soul you'll ever meet and she deserves the best! Which I now can't give her... 😢 Please help me when you can! I'm so sorry to ask this... But I want to provide the best for Arwen and I feel I'm letting her down. 😢 Boosts are very welcome. #DareToAsk #DogsOfMastodon #MutualAid https://www.gofundme.com/f/dierenarts-kosten-van-arwen?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=customer&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_ft&attribution_id=sl:42b58821-a6f6-4e81-892e-995d71cb370b Edit: added image and a bit more text.
