Love this - should also include a bat!
Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!
I’m going to tell a story on behalf of my husband.
He was 13 and in Boy Scouts. Their troop was told that some older scouts went missing and the troop had to look for them. They formed patrols and were searching for over 3 hours when the leaders said that the older scouts were located; one of them was disemboweled and needed a medical helicopter to come from Denver. That was the “oh, crap!” moment…
Turns out the whole thing was staged. No one ever went missing. They just wanted the troop to learn how to do search and rescue. There were younger scouts there who were crying and terrified, definitely scarred by the experience.
And that’s how things were done back in the 80s.
From afar, I love the food. I’d love to visit and learn more about the country but as a woman I don’t feel safe going there.
I would keep working part time because I love my job (psychotherapist). I would also garden, knit, go camping a lot, learn a musical instrument, write fiction and non-fiction books, have a podcast about mental health, and spend more time with friends. Traveling would also be a favorite.
I will always upvote IASIP!
Thank you and welcome!
Sweet, thanks!
Very floof, 5 stars.
That would break my heart too! Our new(ish) dog doesn’t like my son (it’s a long story, he did nothing wrong, she just has trauma). I can see his eyes sinking when she barks at him. I’m sorry your cat is not showing you as much love!
Honestly, I think this one wins, maybe tied with the “what are your communication cues.” Let them decide what’s important, even if it’s trivial for us.
Thank you, I guess I am a tech potato compared to the rest of people of fediverse. I appreciate the tip!
I wish I knew what all of that meant and could help. Alas, I am technologically a potato. So I will just say “best of luck” and let you know I believe in your ability to figure it out!
The greebles! Well, if you have cats. My dogs just fight each other, they are each other’s demons.
I have a feeling your two boys knew they were loved very much. Keep hanging in there, whatever it takes!
That’s a good one! Cats would certainly have much to say here.
I’d like to think my dog would issue an enthusiastic “I love it here!” but would probably ask for longer walks.
My heart goes out to you and your cat, sounds like you two have been through a lot. Your kitty is lucky to have you and loves you, even though you have to give her the yucky thing.
That’s a great question. I want to say it’s just a one-time question to make it more challenging. I’m almost tearing up thinking of your kitty meowing and you gently asking her “Where does it hurt, baby?”
LOL at children consenting to eat soup being a big deal. I totally get it. I don’t think my son was ever really into soup unless it’s ramen. So, it’s impressive they were that hungry!
Heights. There was some movie or show where people were hanging from a skyscraper window after an earthquake, and I regularly have vivid nightmares about it. It’s not to the point of a phobia but a really strong fear. I went up the Seattle space needle with my husband, and he was clowning against the glass while I was only able to stay in the middle. Had nightmares about him falling or me falling off it ever since.
