Deer time? Deer time!

Pretty sure I operate in one of two modes. Either a slow accumulation of household chores over a few weeks of work ….. or mop everything out in four hours. There is no in-between.

Gotta love those pouncing wolves!

Be sure to appreciate a dragon if you haven’t already today!

Come here often? Just a silly bit of toy stacking I did haha.

Found my first con badge from what I think was 2016. Matches real hoss from the same time quite well haha. Badge by @matrices.bsky.social Hoss by @puffypaws.bsky.social

Gross energy going into the new year. That makes a broken tooth crown and a missing package worth about 300 bucks. Grump grump grump

Goal 5: I need to watch the food intake a bit better this year. My distance running tends to keep my weight in check but a bit of gain in recent months means I need to be more vigilant. Could probably stand to go down 20 pounds or so but doing that while simultaneously training is a bit tricky.

Goal 4: I definitely need to work on being a bit more social. Not that I don’t get out and about sometimes, I just need to break out of the work, exercise/game, repeat thing I’ve been in the past few years.

Goal 3: I need to finally do something with my caribou character. I’ll probably commission a custom inflatable as that is more economical than a fursuit for the time being.

2. Once my wallet recovers from getting my car paid off, I fully intend to do some horseback riding lessons this year. Probably English as that is the flavor of the lesson barns in my area but I mainly just want to get the basics. Learn some basic care and that sort of thing while I’m at it.

Might as well have some goals for 2026 as this is the time of year to think about it. 1. I would like to run/race a half marathon at a minimum without injuring myself in the training process. Already run 5-7 mile long run days so working up to 13 and change should be attainable.

You mean I have to wait another month or two for it to be my year?

One toy down, one more up. It is the return of my game room squeak bleat.

Time to let the air out of the durr … at least for now. Gotta make room for other hooved things.

A very horsey Christmas! 🎄🐴 Renegade suit by @poeproductions.bsky.social

Time for some rougelike pain. I have been slowly improving though. Also lots of getting “Spelunked”.

We ain’t found shit! 🤣

Hmmmm …. work has tied situational telework to school closings tomorrow if it snows. Probably the first time in a while that I’ve paid attention to that sort of thing haha. Definitely not as good as waking up at 6 to see if your school scrolled across the screen back in the day.

Put my decorations up

A horse of course.

What is better than one large living room toy? Two large living room toys! Also been in a horse mood as of late.

Dragon time? Dragon time!

Seafood Thanksgiving this year as I had to cancel my travel plans. Good thing seafood boils are quick, tasty, and easy to put together on short notice.

What I love about @dariomouse.bsky.social is how his ears fwoomp back into shape after being squished

I do like them thicc🎈

Thank you all for following In This House for the last 4 years! We're going to put the show on hiatus for now, and come back once DQXII graces our lives. It';s been an incredible run, and i'll look for a fun new Sunday morning series. Until then... [YEETS the Mirror of Ra into the depths of Hell] :)

I trapped a ton of air this morning between these two. Horse might want to watch those valves though given his present company.

This is who you are asking to work 40 hours a week btw.

Bleat!

Toys on toys is a good aesthetic.

Always can use more soft horse. Spirit is the 36 inch variant and Rain is the small version. Both very good soft friends.

For those that like some recycled wood art, a few giants were constructed in an arboretum not too far from here. Fellow that did these has done them across the US and even a few worldwide. Thomas Dambo is the artist.

Definitely my favorite time of year. Cool weather, vibrant fall colors, and plenty of crunchy leaves.

Wow, even the mice are getting bigger.

After cleaning my entire apartment, I just had to get the ol squeaky n bleat back out.

Despite all the craziness as of late, I’ve been keeping it at bay with game soundtracks and running lol. Getting lost in 16 bit synth wave, listening to the orchestral stuff in Silksong, or diving into the joy that is the entire Xenoblade trilogy soundtrack sustains me lol.

Well, it is Monday but at least I’ve got a large puff deer up. Definitely need more squeak deer around.

It is time once again for large toys. Deer and horses are my favorites lol.

*Door opens* 😳🐭 I was JUST deflating the last toy to make room for the next panel! #HumpDay with @atlas-horse.bsky.social

Sometimes you just need a horse in your game room. Atlas fits the bill quite well.

I love how my ram perfectly fits on this bed. Makes for a great large stuffed animal lol.

In non squeak news, I roasted some New Mexican chilis (Hatch chilis). They are super good as a queso ingredient lol.

Ah yes, the vinyl ram in its natural habitat. Makes a very good large stuffed animal.

Settin' out at dawn 🐎 Happy birthday to the best malamute i know <3 🎂🎉🎈🩵💙 @treblehusqueak.bsky.social

Cleaned up my apartment for some work in my kitchen that needs to be done. Moved my toys and such to my bedroom for the e time being. Any worker that decides to come in here would be in for a shock lmao.

Moving toys around in your apartment and a toy won’t fit through the door? No problem, just tug that plug.

Apparently it is cow appreciation day so here is my favorite moo. Also, here is a big moo for the scale of smol moo.

Hmmmm … maybe I’ll do some caribou things in the next year or two, toys, suits, or otherwise. Reindeer are up there with horses in my book lol. Something tells me it is common for most hoofer inclined fuzzies to have multiple species hahaha.

Apparently, most of these Carosuel ponies were hand made. Pretty sure I didn’t see any repeats either.
