  • I used to agree, then i went to a couple of French restaurants and started thinking of them as the same as Mexican, Italian, etc. - Ok to go for breakfast or lunch; it doesn’t have to be white tablecloth anniversary dinner for $100. French is fucking delicious! I didn’t know i needed 4 kinds of onions in my soup, but holy crap it’s good! Great bread, sandwiches, omelettes, …











  • My mom adopted a very sweet cat from a shelter. Within two weeks we learned that she was sick, barely eating and losing weight. She passed on my mom’s lap within a month of adoption. We assume she was dropped at the animal shelter because the previous owner knew and didn’t want to deal with it. That seems so cruel- to put a sick animal through that process of shelter and adoption. I’m glad that we were able to give her care and love at the end but I’m still angry at the asshole who dumped her.




  • With people it’s sometimes when you start morphine, knowing that it’s the beginning of the end. It’s the same- when they can’t really communicate and you know they’re uncomfortable, when you’re praying that they go in their sleep,…

    These moments in life are so fucking hard. And the guilt in your heart hangs on even when your brain knows it’s the right and merciful things to do.




  • It’s merciful but it’s incredibly difficult. What would you want someone to do for you?

    When you come home and your 20 year old dog is lying on the floor in a puddle of pee, poo, vomit, and blood and can’t get up it’s likely time (or past time) to help him go, but you’ll still feel terrible about it

    When your blind dog with liver cancer is at the date your vet thought she would pass; she still lifts her ears and wags her tail a bit when you walk in, but she also can’t hold bowel or bladder, vomits most days, and has to get carried to the yard; and you put her down a few days before you have surgery knowing you won’t be able to clean the floor or carry her for a couple of weeks, you’ll feel guilty and selfish and like you killed your dog because she was an inconvenience even though everyone tells you it was the right thing to do.
