Bark! But, like a dignified learn-ded bark! Because Im wearing glasses and that makes you smarterer

As you know, I live my life as a wandering paladin of the candy kingdom. I’ve finally returned home after my year of adventuring and did a tally. Ive traveled 22,000 miles, visited 16 states, and 3 Canadian provinces. I only count places I have stayed for 2 days or more. I am a sleepy paladin.

After a VERY long adventure. I was lucky enough to visit some people dear to me before heading home. I was *very* brave and only a tiny bit sad when I left… it can be so hard to be brave sometimes. Luckily, the beautiful clouds and sky gave me nice backdrop to be brave to, it helped…kinda…

Okay. So, I don’t normally wear skirts or dresses. I prefer my paladin armor. But every once in a while, I will wear one, and always unsure of if they work or if I look okay in them. But @kiddlit.bsky.social captured me wearing one, and I have to say this is one of the best pictures of me ever.

Sometimes I’m afraid that, even though I’m a brave paladin, I cannot help enough people to make a difference. That no matter how many other creatures I help, there are too many in need. Then I eat a super breakfast and everything is amazing again! Being a puppy is an emotional rollercoaster!

… bark…

My adventuring has taken me to see not one lake, but TWO in the same day! One is small and cute, the other is so big it looks like an ocean! Sometimes, I feel like Im lucky I became a paladin, I get to see things I would have never been able to see before I began my adventures.

Well, its spooky time and this year I decided to get an awesome set of armor to show everyone how brave of a paladin I am! But I guess there was a mistake and this is what arrived… But… I’m a brave paladin…. Not a lamby… Thanks @kiddlit.bsky.social for the art!

Sometimes I wish I knew how to take better pictures. The image never really compares to the experience as it’s happening. But, I suppose that’s sort of the truth of everything? The simulacrum we create to share is never as good as truly experiencing. Or I just need to learn photography…

What a strange place I find myself in. This world is so beautiful

A few days ago, I was on a road and noticed something running across it. I stopped to investigate and I found a small, badly injured baby kitty. I cleaned them up and brought them to a local veterinarian, and Im happy to say they are now healthy and fully healed. I may have found a new friend!

very true statement #art #comic #sharks

Im not s… sc… scared… …ghosts are not real… …right?

Just a friendly reminder from your friendly local paladin. Adventuring is a lot of fun, but be sure to take a break and enjoy the scenery and maybe stop and smell the flowers.

…woah!

Adventuring is a strange profession. Sometimes you’re alone, sometimes you’re with friends. Sometimes you are in a quiet field, sometimes you are in a busy city. No matter where in this big world I am though, one thing is for certain. It’s always beautiful.

Being an adventurer is hard work, and sometimes very lonely. While resupplying at a local bazar, I found a puppy who desperately wanted to explore like me! I decided to take them with me and teach them the ways of the paladin! They will join my adventure… and I will make a new forever friend!

What a fun weekend! I met a bunch of other cute animals, hugged a TON of them, and posed for a lovely artist who captured my cute side! Thank you #canfurence for an amazing weekend! This paladin is so happy!

A new adventure begins tomorrow! Im so excited I can hardly sit still!

Zzz…

Always take time to rest and care for yourself. I meditate under trees and in nature. It helps hone the mind to focus on the important things in life… …like which pie is the yummiest pie! (It’s lemon meringue btw)

And so another adventure begins. I hugged my plushies goodbye, packed my sword and shield and stepped out seeking adventure. I know this world has need of a brave candy paladin wanderer; and it’s my hope to make it better for the people that I can. I only hope I can be brave enough…

Why is it always so hard to stop eating sweets before you get a tummy ache?

Finally home after another huge adventure! I got to see some old friends and make tons of new friends as well! I cant wait for my next adventure… but Im very excited to sleep in my own bed again.

I have never seen this many amazing animal people before! This has been so much fun! I got to hug SO many people! I know it is a bit of a cliche, being a dog and all. But I love bunnies! These are bunny mathematicians! They were telling me how good they are at multiplication!

Oh wow! Being a bit of a country paladin, I didn’t even know this many people existed! What a fun adventure Anthrocon has been!

What a handsom bunch! That blue panda looks like an especially handsome fur…

Neat!

What a strange place my adventures have taken me today.

I learned something today… Thank you @shio.binturong.wang for bringing this to my attention… I had no idea! I guess the only thing a true paladin can do in this situation is be brave, and go on with her life one step at a time.

Who would have thought floating water could be so pretty? I still prefer candy, but this is kinda neat!

Today is a great day to be a puppy!

Sometimes, paladins such as myself have to make hard decisions. When I was getting ready for bed I grabbed one plushy to sleep with, but was very worried the other plushies might feel lonely or sad they didn’t get picked! So, what’s a wise paladin to do? I think I made the right decision…

D’ awww thank you @rhari.bsky.social for these amazing pictures! I’m going to be so expressive in chats now!

I met another puppy today! This one is much smaller than me, but very sweet! I wonder what sort of adventurer he will grow up to be…

I was watching a small plant grow for a while today and it made me think… We experience the passage of time and so far as we can tell, plants don’t. We are the only living creatures aware of our failing bodies and the inevitability of what will come. Sometimes, it would be nice to be a plant.

Does anyone know why dandelions are called weeds? I think they are pretty enough, and when they turn into poofy seed ball… things… you can blow on them and spread the seeds! It’s so much fun!

I wish my “lay on hands” class ability could cure addiction. As a paladin, being in a large city makes me feel useless. The need for healing is far greater than I could ever imagine. I’m scared that I’m too little to make a difference. The problem feels too big.

Today was a strange day. I was wandering looking for people to help and happened upon a large concrete city! It was full of cars and people and noise! It’s very different from the quiet woods Im used to adventuring in, but very pretty in its own way. It seems lots of people here need a paladin.

What a day! I met Socks the puppy, and now this! During a break on my adventures a wandering artist approached me. Without saying a word, she handed me a rolled scroll. On which was a sketch of me! I am so humbled and flattered she would honor me with this beautiful art!

Today I found another puppy! They too are on an adventure at something called a “comic convention?” They kept trying to steal my favorite toy though… Thanks @mizukipup.bsky.social

There is something special about sleeping in your own bed. Something you really can’t define or appreciate, unless you spend a long time away from it. It’s like a warm hug from a friend you love, but can only see once in a while.

My springtime adventure is now complete! I got to see some beautiful places, meet some beautiful people, and experience our beautiful planet. Now, I get to go back home to my beautiful bed, for some much needed puppy rest.

The clouds in the candy kingdom are made of sugar… I think these clouds are made of water? Either way they are so pretty.

I found a lovely road on my travels today. I wonder where it will take me…

… …where the heck am I?

As an adventurer sometimes you find yourself in places you’d never expect. Today, I’m in the middle of a city and nestled in this city is… a cow farm! It’s a strange mix, between the pastoral quiet of cows grazing, and the constant noise of cars driving on the “stroad.” This world is beautiful!

The spirit of adventure has struck this wandering candy paladin again! Today I found a strange machine that humans put on the earth. I guess it sucks liquid out of the ground which they use to make… stuff? Why dont they just harvest the taffy trees? Or delve the gumdrop bog like candy people?
