Let me give you another one. We feed the critters that come into the back yard. First come the feral cats, then the raccoons, then the possum. They come to eat and go. However, once there was a little kitty that stayed. It would hide while the others ate. We fed them just outside our sliding glass door. One day the little kitty came up to eat. I was sitting in my chair watching TV. Just then my wife came down stares. I told her to open the door slowly and stand back. The kitty came inside climbed into my lap and went to sleep. We had been adopted. She was the sweetest kitty that you could possibly imagine. She would sleep with her head in my wife's hand on the pillow and crawl under the covers when it was a little chilly. We wish she could have lived forever. She had a long and happy life.

Engrish slipped me a pm that simply stated "stray now fat. Yum, like better chicken."

Not sure what that meant.

All the dogs I've owned over my life were all discarded by people too stupid to train them, or too cruel to own one.

Fucking though!

its one of the few places where we can talk openly about things that truly matters to is, WITHOUT a shit ton of bots and shills...

one of my dogs, she was abandoned at an old strip mine probably from someone running rabbits.

Let's be honest. We all need hope like you declared because right now, the economy is crashed, niggers and jews are everywhere, politicians are fucked in thr head and yes, wars are coming. It is simple truth but you can call it doom and gloom. We will all be dead soon or painfully survive meek days.

But yes, I too enjoy a smile and hopeful fantasy story every now and then as well.

I've got a soft spot in my cold, shriveled heart for that kind of thing too. It's important to keep everything balanced - the hope, righteous anger, compassion, scorn, and everything else. Too much of anything will warp your character.

Here ya go man. I've helped fix feral cat colonies to live out their lives in peace and have adopted 8. You're right there's a lot of gloom here. It comes with the nature of this site. That being said YOU have to find happiness within yourself. Nothing can give you happiness but you.

I saved a lot of frogs this week
