I think that, until the itching stops on my arm, leg, hip, and face, I am going to hold off on streaming. I cannot sit still for long without being uncomfortable. I promise not to touch poison ivy ever again.
Thank you all for all of the birthday wishes and messages! Had such a good day today even while recovering from poison ivy. My heart overflows with love for all of you!
Max had seizures last night… I humbly ask if you would please share this to expand his reach so we can get him the care he needs as soon as possible 😞

Please help us give Max more time. One of our German shepherds were just diagnosed with a brain tumor and we need to get him radiation therapy to give him some more time on this earth.
Even something as small as a retweet and like would be greatly appreciated.

Maximum Effort, thats the phrase I would use if I had to describe our boy Max. Max is a carefree, clumsy, 5 year old black German shepherd puppy who does not realize he is as big as he is. Unfortunately, while he puts “maximum effort” into everything he is, fate continues to try to limit him and shorten his life. If you met Max, you would see the biggest goofball who has too much love to give the world; slobbery big tongued kisses, loves to wrestle, chase his siblings for their toys, full body play stances to get someone to fight him, and very VERY vocal to let you know he is in the room.
He was diagnosed with epilepsy at 2 years old, he had flipped his stomach shortly after and required extensive surgery to correct it, and now he has a brain tumor… all of this within his young life.
On April 17th, two weeks after his 5th birthday, Max was suddenly showing signs of losing motor control on the right side of his body. Upon taking him to multiple ER visits running blood tests, ultrasounds, x-rays, and more; he was not recovering and the doctors had no idea what was happening. We needed an MRI, but unfortunately animals are not treated like people in the medical world, so we couldn’t get him in for one until Monday on the 20th. By Saturday night he was unable to get up, or even go to the bathroom and was progressively getting worse. I drove him across state lines to bring him to a special care hospital where he was hospitalized until Tuesday. Best case scenario, we were dealing with a spinal stroke.
However, unfortunately he wasn’t blessed with the best case scenario. Doctors had found that he had a mass growing in the frontal lobe of his brain, a cancerous brain tumor.
There is no cure for this, the only option is providing him more time to live his life and give this boy the bestest last bit of time he has on this planet. We will be giving him targeted radiation therapy and steroids to prolong his time, this can potentially give him another 8 to 24+ months on this planet to be his normal goofy self. We had just lost our oldest boy, Tobue the red heeler, to a cancerous spleen tumor that bursted a month ago on March 18th. We didn’t have the opportunity to give him more time like we do for Max.
This is why I’m reaching out to everyone I can. The Radiation therapy is not cheap, and he will also need to be on steroids and his epilepsy medicine for the remainder of his life. We have already made the decision to postpone our wedding to prioritize caring for Max, but we could use the help to pay off these upcoming expenses that will give him more years on this planet.
Please, I’m begging you to please spread the word as far as you can and provide this boy any support if possible. Max always shows the world and the people in it how much he loves them, let’s show him how much we love him.

@FurryWeekend Registered for a con and can't even attend all of the events because I cannot take off on a random Wednesday during the middle of the day because I have a job. Cool cool cool.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and I just want to say clearly: I care, I support you, and I’m here for you. Trans lives matter, trans joy matters, and trans people deserve safety, dignity, and love. 🏳️⚧️
I ate out A LOT and didn't count calories as much as I should have (ADHD meds helped calm impulsivity and definitely felt that come back), but I only skipped 3 workouts all month and that was mostly related to my new tattoo.
