Lost my dog (chihuahua) of 16 years, 6 years ago this month and only a few month's after I got together with my now fiance. I had her for more than half my life and it was a major adjustment for me, losing her. Even now, I tear up when I think about her, and as I'm writing this tbh. Not a good look for a burly looking guy, but I try to remember the good times.
I miss you Fawn. Miss you so damn much.
That's more common sense than many people here in WA have, at least in western Washington. Have to occasionally head up to a city dubbed BrainDead Island and nearly EVERYONE wears a mask at all times. Walking outside, biking, pumping gas, and yes - even while driving. As you can imagine, the virtue signaling is high there. Tons of Joe Biden and Harris signs, BLM painted everywhere (even on the schools), gay pride flags (even the church) - it's nauseating!
With those jobs comes the risk of being fired when you're right
