Some of you have offered to send donations to support PS5 and I can't say enough how much I appreciate that.

For those of you who don't know her, this is PS5, the best and most important puppy of all time. If she could meet you, she would wiggle her entire potato-shaped body at you and try to lick you with her tiny baby tongue. She's three months old and her favorite things in the world are looking at cats and falling asleep.

Unfortunately, PS5 broke her leg in a freak accident this past Thursday. Earlier today (3/29/2022), she underwent surgery to repair her leg, and will be staying at the hospital overnight tonight.

I emptied my bank account this morning to pay the required deposit for the procedure. Between last week's emergency vet visit and the cost of her surgery, we're going to end up paying at least $6000 in vet bills.

If you've enjoyed my past Tumblr Funnyman Posts about:

Meatball the cat (who wore Hanukkah sweaters and sweatervests, and once tried to jump in my toilet)
that one video of the bird dancing to Hotline Bling
my girlfriend asking me what I thought about pet names and I said you have to call them something and then someone called my girlfriend a moronsexual
the pregnant dog who contains multitudes
realizing that little girls with good handwriting were a different genre of person than you

or my significantly less funny posts about antisemitism and Jewishness, and you would like to leave a tip on our Ko-Fi, we would really appreciate it. If you're unwilling or unable, we would really appreciate a reblog.

I can't draw or write particularly well, I'm not especially creative, I can't offer commissions or handmade crafts in exchange for donations. The only thing I'm particularly good at, unfortunately, is making Tumblr posts, which is not a very marketable skill.

The only thing I can think to offer is this: for years, people have been asking me to post pictures of Meatball in his sweatervest and his Hanukkah sweater.

If we can reach $500 in donations, I will post a picture of Meatball wearing his sweatervest on the original sweatervest post.
If we can reach $1000, I will post a picture of Meatball in his Hanukkah sweater on the original Hanukkah sweater post.
And if we can reach $2000, I will post a video of Meatball doing a very cool trick (high fiving a person) while wearing his sweatervest.

If there's anything else that would incentivize you to make a donation, please reach out to me and I'll do my best.

I'm sorry if this seems slightly lame. I just want our puppy to be OK.

Dronk Tristan does not understand the new force field that prevents him from turning tight corners or entering narrow/low spaces. It also stops him every time he lowers his head to sniff outside, which is just offensive.

Tris did work out how to drink, so that's good, and will probably cope better as the sedative wears off and his problem-solving brain comes back online.

...

(We looked into the inflatable donut and other types of cones, but Tristan has a long, very flexible back. We're pretty sure he could reach around anything besides the traditional Cone of Shame. It's too bad this procedure is in pretty much the one spot you can't cover with a shirt or sock.)

Dropping Tristan off for neuter--

Tech with paperwork: One other service we offer is a tattoo at the surgery site, a green line just like the county does. So if he does get away from you, he won't go through an unnecessary surgery before you get him back.

Yvaine's Portable Furniture (perplexed): But, with a male, you'd think it would be obvious?

Tech (deadpan and tired): You'd *think*.

Tristan's Fetch and Tug Buddy: Yes, please, we'd like that tattoo.

She lays pressed against a person under the burgundy comforter on the left. At the top center, Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel, sleeps upside-down, with his head leaning on Yvaine's back.]
