I’ve been taking Buffy to vet for underwater treadmill for the past month to help her lose weight and help her arthritis. She’s up to 20 minutes, which is walking half a mile. She’s going better than some of the dogs.
It’s too cold out, so Buffy is pressed against me. #CatsOfBlueSky

If people are hungry, you feed them.
If they are homeless, you house them.
If they’re sick, you give them medical care.
If they’re cold, you give them clothes.
It isn’t hard.
Far too many people are more than happy to sit in judgement of others rather than helping.
