Watching over my elderly dog who had dental extractions last Friday and is still recovering from the intubation, poor old guy. His throat is very irritated, the vet had told us this but it's hard to see him in discomfort. I'm blowing off work tomorrow to spend with him, I want to make sure he's safe. Work will be there the next day.
Had a great morning with my dear friends at church. I know so many on Lemmy are atheists and I understand that, but I just have the best friends in the world there and it's such a joy. A happy progressive welcoming inclusive place full of excellent people. It can happen.
Aw give him a hug for me. We have a rescue cat who had to get all his teeth removed after a severe infection from living on the streets. We fostered him for a bit during his cone-head convalescence, fell in love with him, and wound up adopting him.
I was at church today also, playing music with my wife. I'm not particularly devout to be honest, but I believe in the community which got me settled into a new city and hooked me up with people who helped me live out my dreams. I owe these guys big-time. The priest is an old guy who came out of retirement to say all the stuff he's bottled up for years. He's super-progressive with a great sense of humour and he keeps things short. It's great! Today was his birthday and we all sang to him.
That's wonderful!
I'm not a big believer in Jesus per se, but I get a lot out of the community and just a generally better way to live life, you know?
My dog is a bit better today, he appreciates the hugs. Poor old puppy.
awh sorry about your dog. hope he feels better soon :)
He's doing a bit better thanks. He just demanded some of my toast so he can't feel too bad. But ugh the coughing is awful
oh just had a flashback. My dog had a kidney infection in december and was 2 weeks in Dog ICU. 1500 dolard latter and she is here full of energy! Best wishes for your old baby!
Edit: I'm an atheist but Having a comunity is awesome, and religion is just someone elses problem if you make it. :) happy for you!!
Ugh mine was a 4K bill. I'm still wincing over that. He's worth it but it was hard to put an old guy through. He seems much better today.
I'm not that into Jesus per se but I am all about the community, and just the general sacred feeling? Like I feel it transcends daily life and sets the tone for the week. You know?
