What made you Cry Today
 

Not with literal tears but with a very sad heart I just heard that our Glorious Queen has covid-19. At 95 years of age I do hope She can survive this damned thing after all She has been through in life. God Save Her.

A few texts from my son

The horrible news about the latest tragedy in our country (fucking gun culture down in Tx). I'm not surprised that Beto O'Rourke got arrested for calling out Abbottt on his lunatic policy on Guns. Three Cheers for Beto.

Today...
 

That everyone is so divided that they can't wake up and see, we are doing exactly what the government wants us to do, divide!

Learning one of my doctor's made a mistake and should have never prescribed the two medications he did in combination. I don't know what caused it but awhile back there were some complications with a surgery he preformed. I cut him some slack because anyone can make a mistake and it wasn't anything major. I lived, I wouldn't have even known if he had he hadn't said anything. Plus he seemed upset, remorseful, bad it had happened. Now here we are and another thing. I'm not exactly sure why but this time I just broke down crying. Maybe because I learned it on my own and haven't had a chance to discuss it with him yet.

We go through so many things that we do not truly understand "why me"? Unfortunately what is, is.

Try to keep a positive attitude until you have spoken to your doctor and get the full story. Not knowing is so very hard to bear by ourselves. Know that others think of you as well and wish you only the best outcome no matter what it is can give comfort.

Damn, sometimes wish I could have a good cathartic cry. Haven't cried in years. As a person with Aspberger's, I just go numb when things get b

My brother's dog is now in a nicer place on the other side with lots of other animals to romp with. No more pain, able to jump and play again and happy he had a fulfilling life with his dad. I was happy I could ease my brother's pain and give him comfort, he is the last along with me of our family of 6.

I brought a photo of Brittney Griner and her wife to my altar and taped it up where my Santa could see her. I got through the first part of the prayer and then just had to wave my hands toward the photo, I could not finish. I am so devastated for Brittney and Cherelle.

Seem to be getting a little weepy in my old age. I didn't cry either time but did get a little teary-eyed. Looked on FB this morning to see my best friends grandson was born Friday evening. She died in 2020 but she would have ate him up! Then I saw a dog I recognized from 40 yrs ago (not mine) my heart melted when I read it and realized the poster was yup the owner of that dog. She was so smart and funny. And kept my drunk ass company a few nights as well

Not getting any better :watereyes:

I saw a TikTok of a dog who lives his whole life on a chain in the yard. The neighbor, who was recording the TikTok, said he's reported it to the police, but they don't do anything. He also said he stole a dog from them once that was in the same situation, and they just got another dog.

Those people deserve to be put on a chain in the yard, naked, surrounded by people who don't speak their language, fed and watered at someone else's whim, and completely exposed to the elements.

It makes me so sad to see how many of the animals in this world are mistreated. I try to get them out of my TikTok queue, but sometimes one sneaks up on me.

I have my one new rescue dog and she's all I can handle for right now. I have spent a small fortune taking care of all the health problems she came to me from the shelter with. And we're still getting to know each other. I have to face the fact that I can't save them all, but I can save at least one. :bigcry: :angry:

This is a hard one for me, too. All of the animals I've ever shared life with were rescues. There are so many who need warm, loving homes.
My newest rescue is Sage. She looks like a pitbull-rottweiler mix. She was found running wild in an apple orchard in Yakima, WA. They had to live trap her, because she was so afraid of humans she wouldn't approach anyone. She was badly injured, and we think she may have been hit by a car. She was terrified of people. She was pretty young, maybe 10 or 11 months, but had clearly already had puppies.

We got her last March. Since then, she had her injuries treated, including a surgical repair on her left rear knee. She has been spayed. We take her to training classes. She is like a different dog. She is affectionate, playful, funny, and so very smart. She has gained weight, so she is no longer skin and bones. Her fur has gotten softer and fluffier. She plays a lot with our other two dogs, and she is so snuggly with dogs and humans alike.

Someone clearly abused her before we got her, but her life is better now. I can't save all of them, but I saved her, and I hope that people see what can be done with a dog like her that not very many people might take on, and think about doing the same with another dog who needs help. Adopting Sage was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Also, for thread compliance, and totally off the subject of my sweetheart doggie, the thing that made me cry today was finding a comment in my facebook memories from a friend who died this past June. It sort of hit me all over again that she is really gone, and I won't get to hug her again. Her death was very unexpected, and I have not fully integrated it yet. The grief about it comes in waves, sometimes when I least expect it. She died as a result of domestic violence, and I now know three women who died pretty much the same way. It's heartbreaking and infuriating all at once.
