I'm not asking for anyone to be perfect... but at least decent... pls

Hopefully no one finds my...I mean yeah, is decency hard to ask for?

I did have to say goodbye to my doggy. It's the first time in my life I've been without a dog by my side. It's strange when you're used to always have a presence following you around your entire life. Like losing your shadow.

Oh no D:
I'm so sorry, Bio. Let me know if I can do anything for you!

I could borrow your sister's doggies? I'd like to foster greyhounds, but not quite sure how stressful that might be because of everything involved with the human aspect.

Even the one that likes to bite? xD

iirc Medi Mint fosters cats. I'm not sure how different it is |D but I could ask her for tips.

I doubt she can help with interacting with the people, since that's the part that is too anxiety inducing. Especially if they have to come do house checks or anything. We never have guests and I have an unconventional way of living, so I don't know if that might raise red flags from their perspective.

Ah, I see.
Why does everything have to include people...

So far, it looks like there is an agency nearby that might at least be worth looking into. My father's dog might not have much longer either, so he's probably going to need the company of a dog too even if we can't keep them.

How was it with the agency

I looked into it and they actually stopped taking in dogs recently due to the racing track closures, and aren't looking for new fosters. I might try the orientation with a general type of animal adoption agency to at least learn a bit about the process, but they don't pay for the costs like some do.

Aw that's sad.
but also dog races??? why D:

They enjoy the racing. Just too many people involved who have to ruin things as usual. We would take our retired racers who still loved it to do lure coursing. Which is a different style of racing, but still fun for them.

ah, so it's dogs with a lot of energy doing what they like! But sounds like could be abused, yeah

I mean...I literally grew up in that world. Around race tracks, trainers, dog shows, lure coursing, etc. I even got to hang out in the booth where they controlled the electronic "rabbit" with one of the race track owners as a kid. They took care of their dogs. A lot of what makes the headlines is more likely going to be the negative aspects. There will also be confirmation bias with rescue organizations, because you only bring in the dogs that need help and not the ones that are well taken care of. But I also don't believe racing should continue because there are so many issues with the people involved. The dog showing world also needs to be held accountable, for various reasons. And horse racing.

Ah, I see. I don't think I ever heard about dog racing in Brazil, only the uh, dog pageants.

Are they actual serious competitions?

I think so!
I told my sister she should put her dogs in one of those, but now Luna is old and Fluffy is losing her fluff T^T

Aww, is her face also going grey? It's always strange to look at old photos and you realize just how much grey they developed.

yeah Luna is getting whiter in the face... when I see baby pics I'm like... who is this...

Heheh, it'd be cool to adopt every old dog possible waiting for a home if vet costs weren't an issue. So many have such a good spirit despite being a bit more stiff in the joints than previous years.

Yeah, vet costs are... an issue. My sister says she spends as much as if she had a human child xD

It used to not be so bad, but the healthcare system for animals has been getting worse and also with the increased lack of breeding standards means more unhealthy pets.

I might spend more on animals than children.

Ah true... poor dogs that are bred to not breathe @_@

wait... why are you spending on children... when did you have a child??

Future tense and hypothetically! It would be miraculous if I had one.

These days I was feeling nauseous and my bff told me it was a pregnancy. But the opposite of a immaculate conception. Wait no. Immaculate but not divine. Immaculate demonic conception.

Your hellspawn would probably grow up to be a lot more decent than most people nowadays.

I'm not sure... I haven't had enough therapy to not pass my traumas forward xD I feel like lil (de)monica would grow up to be someone with too many issues

It would still probably be better than most, even if not well adjusted.

Have you found new things to watch? I'm behind on a lot of the new things that have come out.

OH yes I was gonna say I saw that hbo max is doing a fashion competition?? I haven't seen it yet.

I still need to finish star trek |D

Is it the one with Marni? That one is at least on my list to see.

i Had a hard time getting into the first season. Too bad Bryan Fuller never got to stay on board with it.

Yes, that one!

hehe I still haven't finished the old ones.

Have you seen Work in Progress? The second season started. I kind of had mixed feelings about the first one.

OH I've never heard about it, but sounds interesting. Gonna add to the list!!

I've been watching the good fight. this season has been insane. Mandy Patinkin was a guest star

For the most part, I do like it. The second season is showing promise so far, though I'm not caught up.

The father binge watched The Good Wife. I'll tell him about the Fight. Update: He's already started watching it.

I gotta write it down. I thought I was gonna catch up with series yesterday due to the day off twitch but someone streamed the clue movie in discord and it was very fun!!

At first I was thinking of Clueless and was wondering if that would be worth watching after so long.

hehehe I imagine it still is
also Paul Rudd...

Do we have a modern day Clueless yet? I feel like there has been, but can't recall.

modern day as in something that can be compared to it or a remake?

Like an equivalent with current themes. At least Beavis and Butthead is back, so hopefully I can get Paramount to watch it sometime.
