So he should be! Shitty dog caretakers make me mad too, Cooper! Good for you for telling them what's what!

 

[f1shie]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon Dude when I took him out this morning he was SNIFFING around like a hound. Little dude is on PATROL.

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon Dude when I took him out this morning he was SNIFFING around like a hound. Little dude is on PATROL.

On our street, dozens of dogs do their business on Shelby's front lawn every day. They all have responsible humans who clean up after them. (Unlike where we lived in the Booming Metropolis, where we had neighbours like yours.) But still Shelby must read her pee mail every time we go out there!

Good thing - I love you. Did you know that?

Cooper status - And he loves you too. Did you know that?

We love you too @f1shie & Cooper!

 

[Syrius]

Love you too @f1shie & Cooper!!

 

[f1shie]

I love y'all a ton <3 I apologize for being kind of... off in the next few days. The election is a thing. I think that speaks for itself.

1,255 - God I can barely do anything. I can't stop watching the news. I did walk a bit today, did 1k calf raises day 27... And now I rest.

645 - Lots of meditation today. I needed it.

Good thing - Well, I got you guys, so that's good.

Cooper status - And we got Coop too. We got the fluff boy.

 

[Maegaranthelas]

Big hugs for you, darling!

Cooper loves you, and we love you too.
I think it's important to remember that change is already upon us, and the things that we need to survive the Long Emergency remain the same no matter who won.
We build community and we care for each other to the best of our abilities. You are a wonderful part of the world.
Take your time to process, my dear. It is perfectly okay to feel upset.
Just don't let it paralyse you and prevent you from living

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

Cooper status - And we got Coop too. We got the fluff boy.

Do not discount the power of this.

Shelby has decided that I should facilitate her walking where there are a lot of humans for the next little while, so that she can offer them the opportunity to pet her for free. We think a lot of people are going to need this service today and in the years ahead.

 

[f1shie]

Thanks, guys. I... Have so much to say.

And the only thing I can really say right now is, I. Am so. Done.

1,256 - 10k punches day 5.

646 - Yep. Doned meditation.

Good thing - So, I signed up for the Democratic Socialists of America. While I may be a bit more left of them largely, I needed to join something. If you're wondering ehat you can do for your American bros who are unhappy, just... Talk to us, and assure us, that we have your support.

Cooper status - And of course, he's worried about me. And he loves you.

 

[MadamMeow]

You have my support for sure!

Cooper told me to remind you that.

 

[f1shie]

@MadamMeow I bet he did, because Shelties are inherently magical creatures. <3

Dogs at work are the BEST! My late ex-boss used to bring his Irish Wolf Hound and I loved them (different ones through the years).

Cooper status - Fluff boy is glad for the weekend. And glad you're his friend.

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon Does Shelby lose her mind when you come home too?

Shelby is always very happy to see me. But now that it is just me and her, I never leave her for more than a few hours at a time. It was one thing to go away for a weekend when Shelby would be with my mother, who was also part of Shelby's family and could at least feed her and let her out in the yard if I was not there. But since Trudy and then my Dad died, and then my mother went into LTC, Shelby is much more worried about letting me out of her sight ever. And also there is no one else left to care for her.

When we were moving house I had some long days away from her. On one of them I messaged a friend in the Booming Metropolis to ask him to go around to the house to let Shelby out in the yard. This person is also a friend of Shelby's who she knows really well. We had been walking with him and his dog most days for over a year. But when he went into the house when I was not there, Shelby would not get off our bed for him. When he got close to her to try to coax her off the bed, she actually growled at him! She would rather not pee for 12 hours straight than leave our bed unprotected when I am not home!

Cooper status - Fluff boy tried to tell dad that he totally didn't get his nightly treat. Dad did not believe him. (Cooper often lies)

Nice try Cooper!

Oh my God when I'm done with it Friday I'm gonna go insane. I can't have tomatoes + a lot of the things I like a week before. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Cooper status - Fluff boy is glad for the weekend. And glad you're his friend.

 

[f1shie]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon D'aaawww. Yeah, when Persephone passed, Cooper was often staring at me like, "ayo, you good?" It's really sweet how in tune these doggos are to our emotions.

1,266 - Just did chest and back light and day 12 of punches time for bed zzzzz

656 - Few minutes here and there-- Man I miss the meditation app on my old phone but it isn't available for this OS... >: IT WAS SO CUTE TOO

Good thing - FARMERS MARKET DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY and only a handful of days left before colonoscopy and before I CAN EAT SOME DELICIOUSNESS

Cooper status - Chilled with him downstairs when mom and dad were out and he basically cuddled me. He's too cute.
