My beautiful daughter, Sushi. If you're wondering why she's reaching for me, it's because she wants belly rubs. You can see the demand in her eyes. You better believe it came with a complimentary awoo. ❤️
A poem to the Sushest Sushi dog to ever have Sushed a Sush:
She's a nether fox, a swan gnu, an elongated fluff mouse, a fire salamander, a fuzzy thestral; she's also a little princess, and the best girl in the world. She gets to demand the tummy rubs for she is a fantasy, and she is royalty, and the fact that she even exists sometimes makes me think this world is not real. How can a dog be this perfect? This beautiful, this smart, this loving? How can anything alive be so close to the perfection that we've always deemed impossible? She is unreal, and I am beyond lucky to have her.
ID: A black an white dog getting belly rubs. She's squinting because she can't handle how nice it feels. When the belly rubs stop, she paws at her human, demanding more. Her eyes are hypnotizing, and she looks like a fae.
Sushi story time. ✨
When I got word about Sushi, I had recently broken up with an awful person, and stole the cat we adopted together as it wasn't safe for him to stay. Schnitzel, the kitty, was raised by my exes dog, and was a very social kitty, so you can imagine how sad he was when we no longer had access to her. I couldn't bear to see him that way and started looking for a dog to adopt, my main rules being that it can't be a puppy (I'm not strong enough) and it has to be female since Schnitzel can't handle males of any species.
I went to several rescues and met quite a few good dogs, but there were always issues - mostly the fact that I'm handicapped and a lot of them were high energy breeds while the rest were sick and needed very expensive care. But I kept going because my baby was depressed.
One day, a saluki specific rescue contacted me after seeing one of my posts. They told me they had this dog who was too anxious to deal with people and also black (superstition) and they thought I might be a good fit since I'm scared of people too. I came to see her that very day.
Sushi was scared of me, but wanted to be around me. She was young, but not a puppy. She had energy bursts but wanted to rest most of the time. She spent her whole life in the forest and didn't understand people but was incredibly gentle around small animals. I knew this was the one. I discussed things with her foster and by the next week she was at our home, and on the way to pick her up, I got her this giraffe stuffie.
For two weeks, she would not leave the room we put her in, unless it was for a walk, and spent all of her time cuddling that giraffe. But after two weeks, she walked out on her own.
Now she is scared of nothing, loves being pet, is spoiled rotten, and likes people, but the giraffe stuffie stays. She takes care of it like it's actually alive.
I got her for schnitzel but in the end, she became my little baby, my little wide eyed sidekick, with her own little sidekick; the giraffe. ❤️
Please enjoy these pictures of the rare elongated fluff mouse
(her name is sushi, she's 5, and she is too sweet to be real. I cannot with how soulful her eyes are. They draw me in every single time.🥹)
Went out on another walk this morning and fell in love with this sunrise, so I took some more pictures. And a picture of my dog who I brought with me.
I hope you all don’t mind the pictures and me posting them. I just kinda really like them owo
