As an American I approve this message. Imagine living in a country where you have to stand by and watch as the people around you lose their mind to lies...

You have to make your own youth. I just turned 78 and today I played World of Warcraft, tried out No Man's Sky, finished and published a Barson fic on AO3 and just came in from watching lightening bugs. You may have to grow older - but you never have to grow old. 😜

They leave such a hole in your life. I can no longer have dogs as I'm too disabled, so I have rescue cats. I do miss big dog energy and cuddles though.

If she's food motivated, I help my dog by tossing dry dog food on the floor like I'm feeding chickens. She's distracted enough by the food to get through the worst of the fireworks. I did have one that just needed Benedryl (which is safe for dogs) and one who needed the good stuff to sleep thru them

I'm so glad Thor is doing better. I hope you are as well. ❤️

They are the softest dogs I've ever petted. They aren't common in the US and I've only seen them at dog shows. I love retrievers and yet I've never had them, probably because they rarely come into rescue - it's mostly hounds and pit bulls, both of which I love dearly.

Of course he'll get another treat - he's the bestest boy in the world. He looks like he's made of silk. Is he a flat coated retriever? I'm glad I could help a little. I know how it is when you are out of work but still have to take care of family. I hope he's better soon!

I donated and shared to Facebook as well. I hope you find work soon. (((HUG!!!)))
