#WritingCommunity Writers with pets, good morning! I& #39;m over here wanting to see animals on my TL, so if you& #39;re so inclined, pls share a photo & the name of one (or more!) of your non-human family.

《Context in the comments.》

I haven& #39;t lived with animals for a few years now, which has been weirdly lonely, even after living with my bf for so long now. My ex and I had a zoo; 2 dogs, numerous cats, a few snakes, and a VARIETY of lizards. I had to leave them all behind in the divorce...

...and honestly don& #39;t even know what happened to most of them. I couldn& #39;t take any pets to any of the next few places I stayed, and my ex couldn’t afford to care for all of them on his own. I hope he rehomed at least most of them.

This is why I will usually insta-like any cat, dog, or other pet pic or video before I even read captions or check to see if I follow you. Animals > people, but people w/ animals are pretty cool. (Okay, and a lot of you non-animal people are okay, too. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">)

Anyway, if anyone responds to this thread with their animal& #39;s face and name, I& #39;ll name a character in a future project after them & base their personality on how the animal looks in the picture!

[Our initial thought was, "This would be a fantastic jumping-off point for the third arc/season of my horror anthology podcast," but now I& #39;m thinking... that& #39;s too dark a world to take this into? Can I branch out into... happier stories? Uh... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">]
