I’ve been told there are breeds of dog that “need” to have jobs or they get depressed, bored, etc. Domestic fluffies are just there to look cute which isn’t the worst thing, but it seems that having a sense of purpose, a role, isn’t bad either. Feral fluffies will have those within a herd, so how to get domestics something similar? Well, small jobs and chores…
I was SUPER tempted to draw the baby having a happy pee-pee accident on the stallion holding it up. Because, well, I think most of my friends with kids have had that happen a time or twelve
I do too. That story @Swindle put up made me want to do that, but since Senior Friends went up not that long ago I want to get some other ideas going first
Solid stuff. I think the clear distinction between a nurse fluff and a fluff that teaches is important as they provide two very different functions. In a very mobile urban setting I can definitely see this being a major occupation as owners have such limited time to properly provide intimate (not in that way) care for their fluffs.
Thanks for taking my bleak commodification of sentient life -who’s natural inclination is to love and nurture- and making something wholesome out of it
The easiest way to introduce it to your settings is easy: these are FluffTV ads showing a reality only .001% of fluffies will ever have. (edited to add extra zeroes).
Yeah. I would say a nurse fluff might help prepare a foal for learning, but not actually teach a lot of stuff. To be honest, I wish I realized the most important thing I could’ve learned at school was how to learn, but I was too caught up in the parts I didn’t like
Hmm… @Oculusfluffy - I bet Avocado could make a good role-model in that regard. Teaching the joy of learning.
My thought is while a foal may learn more life lessons from a Nurse Fluff the teacher (very much like Candy from @Oculusfluffy 's Avocado series) would handle the more real world lessons. To me to have a well rounded fluff (at least in a domestic setting) you would need both in lou of their actual owner/caretaker providing themselves.
Much like in real world childcare people shouldn’t burden the teacher, or in the nurse fluff case someone like a nanny or a daycare employee, to give a full education and give them the proper attention and warmth that a “surrogate parent” would give. Sure either can do that and beyond their occupational description but it wouldn’t be effective as the responsibility is properly divided.
even stallion can do like nursing homes does.
