A New Type of Fluff I’d Not “Herd” Of!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters!

Apparently, there is a type of fluff that I’d not even been aware of. A cross between a goat and a sheep. This is referred to as a Geep. A new little one (is it a kid? A lamb? a Kamb?) was recently born in an Arizona petting zoo.

As of yet, I have not heard about the spinability of its fleece.

But aren’t they cute?

Anywho, happy Tuesday!

Why My Dog’s Hair is Too Long

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters!

Today’s post is short.

When you write “short”, how short do you mean?

Shorter than my puppydog’s hair currently is.

I hope you realize that is not a particularly helpful answer.

Oh. Right.

Well, it’s basically long enough for me to write “my dog’s hair is too long- it covers her eyes so she can’t see very well. In fact, a few days ago I saw her walk headfirst into the front of a parked car. It was quite amusing, actually. (Don’t worry, she was just fine. Her hair was probably long enough to cushion the impact.)”

I suppose that is a short post.

And I now don’t quite know what to do. Do I write that post? Or do I just leave this conversation as the post?

So you’re not going to help me. Fine. Well then, fluffsters, what do you think? Should I write out the post again? Or just leave the post as is?

I have a silly puppydog.

Hello, Fluffsters!

So, I have a silly little dog. I’ve been recently realizing how silly she really is.

What sparks this? Well, dinner time for the doggy.

I’ve known for a while she isn’t quite normal when it comes to food. Back when we had the other dog as well, we needed to tell her to eat, otherwise the other dog would (try to) eat her food. These days, since we’re not worrying about the older dog eating her food, we just let her have her own schedule. She’ll (probably) eat when she’s hungry, so she seems to be doing ok.

But that’s not the funny part. No, the silliness comes when she is eating. Because, you see, for some reason she does not seem to want to eat her food out of her dish. I think it’s the (probable) French Poodle in her. She seems to need “the right ambiance” before she’ll eat. So, recently, I’ve noticed the little thing take a mouthful of food, trot all the way across the house, deposit the food on the floor, and then eat it.

Because that makes perfect sense.

Happy Monday!

Bringing “Fetch” To Another Level

Hi Fluffsters! I’m not sure if you’ve seen this before or not, but there’s another really cute video up on YouTube with a fluffy dog.

The dog starts off by stealing a baby’s toy. Which is sad. But then the puppy decides to apologize by bringing the sad little thing as many toys as possible. It’s really cute.

I hope that brought some much needed fluff to the beginning of your week! Wasn’t that cute?

Hey Fluffsters! Happy Sunday!

So yesterday, I saw one of the cutest links, and I totally needed to share it with you. It’s a series of pictures of animals. And the animals are trying typical animal-y things for the first time. And it is adorable. Seriously. Their facial expressions are so cute.

So you should totally check it out.

Have a great week!

A Story About Goldfish

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters! Happy Monday!

So, I realized I never really wrote about some of the pets I had early on as a child. So, I’m going to tell you about my stereotypical pets: My Goldfish from way back when.

My first dog, who was around before I existed, died when I was in preschool. Starting probably close to the day after, I was very interested in getting a new pet.

About a year or two later, my parents decided that pet fish would be worthwhile.

I was so happy.

My favorites were the goldfish feeder-fish ones that we got. Feeder-fish, by the way, are the cheapest types of fish you can get- people traditionally get them to feed carnivorous fish like piranhas. We decided to get them and let them grow.

And they grew a lot. Seriously. Feeder-fish start off about the size of a thumbnail. Ours grew to be between about 4-6 inches.

Mom’s fish was a white one. That always confused me, as to how gold fish could be white. But it worked. The fish got the name Marshmallow. And it fit.

The one my older sister claimed was a pretty white and gold one named Dreamsicle. Dreamsicle was a pretty one.

Mine was named stripes because, you guessed it, he had a black stripe down his back. When we first got him, anyways.

Now, Dreamsicle and Marshmallow’s names fit them throughout their entire lives. (And all three of them lived probably a good three or more years. They were old fish.)

Stripes’s name, however… We noticed, as he started to grow, that the stripe didn’t exactly grow much. At all. So as he kept getting bigger and bigger, the stripe got smaller and smaller. It was very funny- we eventually had a mustachioed fish that was solid orange everywhere else named… Stripes.

It was fun having a fish.

Well, I hope you have a good week!

Birds can be Silly

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello, Fluffsters!

I am going to take a temporary break from reviewing fantasy stuff, in order to bring you this public service announcement:

Birds can be silly.

Yes, I am mentioning this for a reason.

Today, I had the opportunity to go sailing with some family in a Pacific-area bay. It was really fun. One of the amusing things, though, was watching various birds.

There were about two that were common. One was the common sea gull. Those guys are actually kinda fun. Yes, they look silly. But they’re also kinda graceful. Especially when they land- they’ve discovered how to land gently on the water.

There was another type of bird, however, that was just ridiculous in every way possible. It was large, brown, and had a black beak. It also pulled its head back when it flew, and just looked a bit dorky. And when it landed on the water… Well, it didn’t so much “land” as nosedived. Seriously.

Every. Single. One.

They would approach the water in a downward direction. And then, rather than angling up, they would crash. The rear seemed to bob up for a moment, and the head completely submerged. I’m sure they were fishing, but it certainly looked like they simply didn’t know how to land properly. (If you even refer to it being “landing” when they’re aiming for… water.)

It was quite amusing.
