THIS IS WHY DOGS NEVER DIE.
THIS GUY NAILS IT.
Some of you, particularly those who think they
have recently lost a dog to "death", don't really
understand this. I've had no desire to explain, but
won't be around forever and must.
Dogs never die. They don't know how to. They get
tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course
they don't die. If they did they would not want to
always go for a walk, even long after their old
bones say:" No, no, not a good idea. Let's not go
for a walk." Nope, dogs always want to go for a
walk. They might get one step before their aging
tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor,
but that's what dogs are. They walk.
It's not that they dislike your company. On the
contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss,
and the cacophonic symphony of odor that the
world is. Cat poop, another dog's mark, a rotting
chicken bone (exultation), and you. That's what
makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world
death has no place.
However, dogs get very very sleepy. That's the
thing, you see. They don't teach you that at the
fancy university where they explain about quarks,
gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so
much they forget that dogs never die. It's a shame
really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just
talk a lot.

When you think your dog has died, it has just
fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is
wagging its tail madly, you see, and that's why
your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time.
Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its
tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap,
that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up.
That's when they say: "Thanks Boss! Thanks for a
warm place to sleep and always next to your
heart, the best place."
When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the
time, and that's why, of course, you cry all the
time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep
more (remember, a dog while is not a human
while. You take your dog for walk; it's a day full of
adventure in an hour. Then you come home and
it's a week, well one of your days, but a week,
really, before the dog gets another walk. No
WONDER they love walks).
Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your
heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail.
After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps,
and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all
their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being
a good dog all the time, particularly when you get
old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face
and don't want to go outside to pee when it is
raining but do anyway, because you are a good
dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping
in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But don't get fooled. They are not "dead." There's
no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your
heart, and they will wake up, usually when you're
not expecting it. It's just who they are.
I feel sorry for people who don't have dogs
sleeping in their heart. You've missed so much.
Excuse me, I have to go cry now.

I've been dreading this day for years, but it was the opposite of what I imagined. It was so sudden, I had no idea I kissed you goodnight for the last time. If I had known, I would have sat with you all night and gave you as many treats as you wanted. I'll miss you forever💔

A scene from chapter 10 of "the line is covered in jellyfish", a jayvik fanfiction by staroverlord.
Jayce is cupping Viktor's face while Viktor is kneeling on the snow covered ground, looking up at him while a tear streams down his face. The fake subtitles read "I wouldn't know how to stop."

i think its good that bluesky is boring and you dont want to scroll through it too much because you're not supposed to waste your day away scrolling on social media when you could be using the computer to play & draw & learn before the corporations destroy the rest of the internet. tick tock
