Feels for animal lovers
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Yep, dogs can teach you a lot.

When I put Sophie down my vet was booked so I found another one who would do it that day but they wanted to see her first. Always in the past I would draw the end out far beyond what made sense for the dog. I'm glad I didn't draw out her suffering.

This was Sophie on her next to the last walk. She had another with about the same liveliness the day before she died.




This was Sophie on the morning I put her down. Couldn't get up. Was visibly distressed when she voided on her pillow. Showed no interest in sniffing around or eating that morning for the first, and last, time in her life once I carried her down to the garden.

"There are no perfect fathers, but a father will love perfectly"

What a fucking ridiculous statement.

Yeah, it's not entirely true because not all fathers love perfectly. I get the feeling that that statement reminded you of something or someone in your own life. Wink

Possibly, but I was thinking his father especially because of this.

I think I agree. That is why we should never judge the depth of someone else's anger about religion. Fuck his dad. (No offense.) Mine was essentially the same way but fortunately for me he lacked the wit or depth to make me miss him. Probably much tougher if he first made you like him and then rushed you up to Aaron's alter to be sacrificed.
