       Arwen, May 2019, at the water side with her floating lighthouse toy.Ever since she was a pup, she loved the water. So whenever the weather is good enough, I make sure she can have a swim.When the weather is warm enough, I drive to a spot where she is allowed to swim (the beach side at one place doesn't allow dogs between April-October) and we'll bring the lighthouse or a ball for her to retrieve.I never threw it too far as I didn't want to wear her out. And as you can see, she loved it loads! She still does, when she's allowed. 😊 She just tires a little sooner. But that's OK. As long as she's having fun... πŸ’œπŸΎ#DogsOfMastodon #Dog #Arwen #Labrador

       Arwen, September 2019. She always loved tennis balls! They were life!These days, she can't really play as much with them as she used to in the past. But she still loves to get them. Just returning them or going big distances is harder for her these days.When I can, I still try to play ball with her a bit. And she still loves it so much...#DogsOfMastodon #Dog #Arwen #Labrador

       :bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos πŸ’œ and #NeuroSpicy 🌢 friends :neuro:When I joined this server, I made an #introduction Toot. As I've recently made some new Friendos here, I wanted to write a new intro Toot!I'm Cynni Pixy, nicknames obviously, and I'm a 44 year old female. Though I don't mind the she/her pronouns, I also accept the they/them ones.I have a chocolate brown Labrador, who will turn 11 on July 15th. She's the love of my life and has really been my life saver in desperate times in the past.I'm #AuDHD / #ADHD & #ActuallyAutistic. I struggle with chronic depression, and an binge eating disorder (so fighting the obesity is a daily thing) and I have some physical issues as wellThe biggest ones are #Fibromyalgia #Spoonie  (who took the spoons and why do my muscles hurt that badly?), hypermobility (I didn't know it could bend that far πŸ€”) and I have a (second) new right hip. The one I got at birth wasn't in the best condition.While my AuDHD presses me to keep active and busy and to do better, my fibro just needs more rest... Finding a balance that works is a daily chore!I'll be getting the keys to our new small home on July 1st. It's exciting but also anxiety inducing, too many changes all at once! So I'm Tooting loads about that... 😊I either Toot my fingers off, or I'll just lurk. I struggle with commenting on other people's toots, it's easier to reply to replies to my own toots. If that makes sense.I'm trying to engage more. I try to boost when I can, but no Alt text means no boost...Thank you for coming to my Pixy talk!:bear_nuzzle:Let's join the joyride everybody! πŸš—πŸ§šπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ πŸ€ πŸ’œ 🐾#PixysJourneyEdit: fixed a small typo...

       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 #MutualAidhttps://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-995d71cb370bEdit: added image and a bit more text.

       OK Arwen, no worries, I don't need "my spot" on the couch that much... I'll just sit on "your spot", and try to eat some, while you snore away... πŸ˜‚#DogsOfMastodon #Dog #Arwen #Labradorable #Labrador

       My last #MutualAid help request for Arwen :parrot_sad:Sadly, Arwen passed away yesterday morning. She had a tumor on her heart and she was suffering, so she deserved to end that, and sleep forever. When she passed, she took a big piece of my heart with her.Several months ago, I had a GoFundMe for her costs of cremation and an urn. I had saved that money, but... It turns out I need some more now. And I'm ashamed to ask, but I really do want to get Arwen home as quick as possible.Last April, you sweet lovely folks helped me gather €400. So that's my starting funds. Unfortunately, laat month, I spend €187+82, on medical costs for her, so my piggy bank has been depleted.The vet where Arwen passed has a good connection with a different animal funeral service. But they were very helpful and I was just overwhelmed. So, to keep things easy at a time like that, mum and I decided to use their services.Unfortunately, this means that the costs will be higher than what I had put aside, thanks to your help.The cremation will be €425.The urn that mum and I chose was €194.There are €45 costs of picking up Arwen and bringing back the urn.And I don't know the vet costs yet, but I recon they may be around €150.Some friends have already told me they wanna help. For which I'm super grateful. But, I now need to hang my head in shame, and grumble down, and ask for your help with Arwen's costs one last time...Total costs will be € 814. I already had the €400 from the previous GoFundMe. Which leaves Β± €414 to go...I know times are hard on us all. Please don't be ashamed if you're not able to donate. Boosting is just as welcome. I appreciate all your support in any way, and I'm ashamed that I need to ask for more help, after so many already came through for me during my previous begging toots. :parrot_sad:I have a :kofi: Kofi and PayPal link. I don't have the spoons to work with GoFundMe now. All the current happenings had drained me from having extra spoons to use, unfortunately.I'll try to keep this Toot updated next I can. I can never repay you, I can never fully express the feelings I experience when I may be on the receiving end of your support and generosity. :flying_hearts:My two ways of receiving financial support right now are:Https://www.ko-fi.com/PlaystationPixyHttps://PayPal.me/CynniPixySorry for asking for help again. It pains me to say that this will be the last time where I will need help with Arwen... :parrot_sad: but I'd love to get her home with me again.Thank you for your understanding, for your support. Please do boost if you can, as this can make a big difference to the reach of this Toot. :boosts_ok_gay:Arwen is free now, no more pains, no more struggles... My period of mourning has began. And dealing with money issues makes it so much more difficult...#RIPArwen #MutualAid #DareToAsk #BeggingForHelp @mutualaid

       Ugh... :kirby_tired:I really need some sleep, but my AuDHD is processing loads of things, making it nearly impossible to relax enough to even come close to dozing off.And my tinnitus has found a way to mimic a slight buzz, like a buzzing terrorist that comes within hearing before attacking. Somehow I know it's the tinnitus, but I keep listening if it could be a real one, as I know there's at least one lurking, waiting to suck my blood...I'll try again now, but I guess this may be a night where I don't get any decent sleep at all. Which is a bit of a bummer, as I was hoping for another night like last night... Ah well...Hey ho, let's try again :kirby_sleep:

       #Journal of a Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Monday, 12/01/2026).I had a rather decent night, woke up once for the loo, and then again around 22:30. According to my watch, I got about 7ΒΌ hours of sleep, so not too bad. The scale was a wee bit nicer, but it still has a long way to go before we can be real friends again. I got dressed, took my meds, and then I got ready to head upstairs to start my exercises.I started on the bike, where I rode it for one hour. Then, I got to the rower, where I managed to do 150 strokes, most of them on setting 4! Yay me! Then, I went downstairs. A little relaxing, before I went to the treadmill, and I walked for half an hour on that. After that, a quick wash up, and then I got to the couch.I worked a little bit on my blog, made and enjoyed my brekky, and then I got my laptop again. I worked a bit on some books in Calibre, some of them I added to my drive. I shared the link with a good friend, hoping they’d be pleased with what they would find when following said link… It always feels good when I can do something for my friends.After a little while, I put my laptop away, and I grabbed my Kobo. I had started the 4th Hunger Games book while walking on the treadmill, and I was eager to read it some more. Then, I got a message from another dear friend, and we chatted for a while, which was very nice indeed. I helped them with some AI editing, and they shared a lovely little image they made for me with AI from Arwen… It was so sweet of them, and it made me a bit emotional as well.When my friend had to do their chores, I got to my book. I read until I had to get ready to visit the supermarket. I hoped that the roads would be better now, as it had rained a bit, and temperatures were rising a bit as well. I got my bag, and headed out. The roads were OK for the most parts, but the intersections, where many layers of snow had been pressed together to big patches of ice, they were still a bit slippery and treacherous. But, I made it to the store, got what I needed, and I headed back home again.I put away the groceries, had a bite to eat, and then I got to the couch with my book again. After a while, I watched a bit of TV, only to return to my Kobo again. When the neighbor texted me to walk with the black πŸ–€ fluff, I got ready and headed out. I had two special snacks for the dude, but he didn’t want them from me. But, when the neighbor gave them, he devoured them like he’d not been fed in weeks! πŸ˜‚ Silly dog!We had a good walk, and when I got back, I prepared everything for the coming night. I could finally go to the gym again! Hoping that Skoosh would be OK with going on an adventure again, after being stuck in snow and ice for so many days and nights. When all was ready, I got to bed.It didn’t take too long to fall asleep. When I woke up again, I really needed to visit the loo. I wondered why it was that bad, until I saw the clock: I had slept for almost 8 hours in one go! After the loo and scale, which was a wee bit nicer to me, I got dressed, and ready to head out and finally visit the gym again. Ready to start my β€œday”.Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life" :bear_love: I really appreciate it πŸ’œ as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days! :bear_nuzzle::pixy_party: πŸ’œ πŸ€ 🐾#PixysJourney#WeirdFolks
