The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for December 31, 2021

…and belly rubs…

Oh, to be as oblivious as a dog to the trials and tribulations of society.

We got a kitten from the humane society about 6 months ago

Some days I wish I was as happy, full of energy, and clueless as he is

Cats are the household therapy animals here, we have 4

Yeah we do!

I WANTED JUST ONE CAT IN MY OLD AGE. NOW FOUR HAVE TURNED UP AT THE KITCHEN DOOR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. WHEN THERE’S ENOUGH FOR ONE THERE’S ENOUGH FOR FOUR !

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ADRIAN AND ALL ANIMAL LOVERS. (Should I include those who aren’t? I wish I could be so charitable….What’s your view?)

Awwww, Koko!

We don’t deserve dogs.

Non-consensual face licks? AAAAAAAHHHHH

Being able to experience innocence whether in a loving pet or new born baby, can help keep your head above water in a cynical angry world.

What’s the guy sitting on? Not a chair… a platform of some sort??

Dogs are such a blessing.

It would be a much better place with more of them…..

Instead, we have more, well they aren’t licking your face.

What we really need is for people to be more like dogs. To be able to love unconditionally, to give more than they take, to always accept you as they find you and never to judge, to always be there when you need them and to always be the sunshine at the end of life’s storm. Why people call other people “dogs” as an insult is beyond me. For me it would be a compliment.

Beautiful. Thank you, Adrian!

Just stay off (anti)social media
