Dogs are magic. They live in the present. They love unconditionally and have absolute trust about where their next meal is coming from. With a yard and a doggie door they’re in heaven. Now one of my pups has developed into a bit of a predator. She’s killed two raccoons and three chickens. But she’s an Australian cattle dog. Protecting her herd is her job. But she lays on her back either her head in my lap and all my fuck the world thoughts vaporize and disappear before my eyes and my heart is light as long as as I don’t turn on the news.
I’m glad you have a real canine coping mechanism to turn to in difficult times. And hey, dogs don’t watch the news and they seem perennially delighted—probably a good life lesson for us humans!
Yikes! I’m so sorry you have to deal with this ongoing poo-nami! I wish I could send you a case of Chubby Hubby, which I agree is the absolute best Ben & Jerry’s flavor. Thanks for the your words of encouragement despite, well, everything. Keep on keepin’ on!
I will help you clean up the poop if I can run away to the DR.
I am kidding. But also. Watching a lot of House Hunters International for cope. Not going anywhere. But a girl can dissociate and google houses in Costa Rica.
Fellow “House Hunters” and “Caribbean Life” girlie over here 😂 It’s warm and often beautiful, but rainy season probably isn’t the right time to run away to the DR…sigh.

“Poo-nami” - good one 😂 Now I want to know how many more puns and euphemisms we can come up with for these fecal fountains, this veritable brown wave…
…this craptastrophe, this guano gusher…this excremental explosion…
Oh it is definitely a craptastrophe! 👏👏👏
We solve the problems. Thank you Sarah. Slow the darkness down.
It’s all we can do 🙏

Cherry Garcia is still my favorite.
