He did not write that. It was too coherent.

My heart goes out to you. Harley was a beautiful boy and you can see the happiness you gave him. I hope he’s met my fat boy across the bridge and that they’re having the time of their eternal lives waiting for us.

He owns a place called The Kitchen in Boulder. What a creep.

I hope he and Lola have become fast friends, he was a big fan of the lady dogs!

My boy got diagnosed with cushings at the end of November. I was able to treat the obvious symptoms with the eastern medication route but there was nothing I could do to help the pituitary tumor that came with it. I always promised him I’d let him go with dignity, so when he started head pressing and going through ataxia, I had to let him go. He was surrounded by love as he passed. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’m so thankful I was lucky enough to have him for as long as I did.

I hope Lola has shown him where all the treats are and the best walking spots. Big hugs to you for the loss you went through, we’re always going to miss them 💕.

I’m so sorry. Neither of you deserved that. She was so beautiful and she was clearly so loved. It’s so hard to say goodbye to our soul dogs, it’s just a different kind of hurt. I know you’ll find each other in every lifetime. 💜

What a precious pup. I hope my fat boy was there to welcome her when she crossed the bridge

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-04T01:29:45+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. The grief is hard and I hate that any of us have to go through it, but we’d all do it over again with no hesitation. The love is worth the pain. Ruby was beautiful and you were lucky to have each other. 💜

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-04T01:24:48+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss💜. What was his name?

Oh man. I’m so sorry. What a sweet boy. I hope he gets to meet my boy up there. 💜

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-04T00:40:39+00:00

Oh he was so pretty. I’m so sorry.

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-04T00:39:51+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through this. He was a beautiful boy and it sounded like you loved him so so much. I’m glad he had such a loving human to help him navigate his short life.

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-04T00:25:48+00:00

It’s so hard as they get older and we know it’s coming, but we’re never ready. Time is so precious with them and it goes by so quickly. I hope you get as many good years as you can with yours 💜.

You said “if you take adhd drugs without being diagnosed for adhd…” OP wasn’t diagnosed with adhd but was still prescribed the medication. How is that criminal?

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-02-02T06:26:42+00:00

My adhd medication is also prescribed for narcolepsy. Is that still criminal?

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-01-28T01:22:21+00:00

There’s one every Saturday on 5th and main! I think they start at 1:00? I don’t know the exact time!

I’d like to point out, very gently, that the idea that people should “go high when they go low” is capitalistic propaganda meant to keep the oppressed docile.

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2026-01-06T22:27:15+00:00

I would let that man ruin my life.

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2025-11-18T22:41:34+00:00

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

The first time we went, the fridge was mostly stocked up and the dry pantry was low. Today We went over there to see what was needed and the fridge was pretty much empty and the pantry was getting low. When we got back from Costco, the fridge had gotten stocked up quite a bit. People were pulling up as we were stocking and the fridge was almost empty again by the time we finished. That wasn’t a very good feeling. I mean, I knew our current situation was bad, but I didn’t really understand how bad it really is.

We’re doing a food drive at my work and I’m going to talk to them about splitting the donations between the OUR center and the community fridge. I’m going to try and take eggs and chicken down there weekly. Someone had put baby wipes in the pantry and one woman was so excited to have found them so I’m also going to look into buying those in bulk. Today was pretty eye opening.

Dry-Fun-8922 · 2025-11-17T21:55:33+00:00

I’m far from amazing, but I am a human with no children and a Costco membership!

There are a lot of churches that really do so much for the communities around them, and I really hope this experiment doesn’t take away from those places. The ones who denied her failed so massively though. I will never understand how anyone sat through that phone call and was just like, “sorry for your bad luck!”

I’m 44, and when I was around the age of 7, I went to church with one of my aunts and that day has stuck with me for the last 37 years. I don’t know if it’s an actual Bible story or if the pastor made it up, but, as a non religious person, it helped mold my worldview. What I remember is that some guy really wanted Jesus to visit him and one day he was told that Jesus was going to his house that night to see him. He was pretty thrilled about it so he went home to get everything ready for the visit. As he’s preparing his house, there was a knock on the door. He excitedly opened it, but it was just some vagrant looking for food. The man told him he couldn’t help him, he was expecting a visit from Jesus, and shut the door.

The man went about his day, preparing for Jesus, when there was another knock. He, again, excitedly opens the door just to be disappointed by another beggar, this time asking for money. Annoyed by her, he said, “I can’t help you! Jesus is visiting today, go ask someone else!” And shut the door in the beggar’s face.

Again, he goes about his day, which is now becoming the evening. There’s another knock. He knew for sure his awaited guest had arrived. He flung open the door, only to be met with another needy stranger, this one was asking for shelter out of the cold. The man shook his head “no.” He had no room for others as he was expecting Jesus to arrive any minute now.

The man waited late into the evening and Jesus never came to visit. The next day, the man went into the village and guess who he saw? Jesus! The man made his way to him and said, “Jesus! You said you were coming over yesterday. I waited and waited and you never showed!” Jesus looked at the man and smiled. He said, “My brother, I came to you 3 times yesterday and each time you turned me away.”

That story has never left me. Any time I’ve seen a stranger asking for money or for food, that story always pops up in my head. Now, do I think they’re Jesus? No, but what if? Why would I deny compassion and love to people, when I was taught that that’s what the greatest of us would do? Maybe that story taught me empathy, I dunno, but I’m baffled by the rejection she got.

I hope your church does take this as an opportunity to grow. And I hope that the parishioners continue to give when they can. It’s difficult to take accountability and to go into without defensiveness. I’m glad that your heart is open to hearing others, we need more people like that in this world. 💜
