Dogs give us unconditional love, something many of us struggle to give another person.

yup, keeping that yin and yang in balance is a lifelong battle, we must be mindful of each and every day...
all the best with your new found outlet for self-expression and sharing, so happy for you my friend,
onwards \'we\' climb, one unsteady step - at a time!

Anyone who tends and cares, with a gift in helping dogs, as you have, can\'t be all bad, or be a devil!
Man\'s best friend - the dogs, that is. Well, family first, of course!

Our biggest doubts are within ourselves as I tell my son who struggles to be a dad but I tell him to do the best he can no judgements.

Refer you back to dusk and Fred. I\'m not going to find anything else worth saying. Hang in there.

Dan,
in German we have a saying: Vater werden ist nicht schwer, Vater sein dagegen sehr.
It is easy to become a father, but hard to be one. Like d a said, all we can do is to do our best, come what may. You are doing OK!

dusk arising said:

Dan mate, we are all individuals. Some fail where we succeed and sometimes we fail where others succeed but that doesn\'t mean a thing because no two persons circumstances will be the same ever. All we can do is try to be the best we can, and when that turns out good then we should count ourselves as lucky and buy ourselves an ice cream or something.
There is a part of every one of us that is a saint.
In another day, another time, with a fair wind they might even nail us to a cross and tell everyone we came back to life after three days (and buggered off to Kashmir) but it\'s unlikely. And anyway i\'m allergic to nails thru my flesh.

Life is but a dream

in me, at least
you\'ll always have a hand
reaching-out, ready
to do what it can,
stay strong my friend

Life is a risk, get over it!
L. B. Mek said:

death tolls, my brother...
death tolls!
black n white figures, until
like Lord Sugar
(sounded a lot like you
in March
then his Sister died
in December...)
it becomes far too real
to simply ignore.
My POV is that of someone
who has immediate family members working with the NHS in the \'front line\' so to speak, dealing with both the physical and mental aspects of this cataclysmic catastrophe.
So as a supportive friend
I empathise with your plight, but
best not to base
our \'understanding\'
of a complicated situation, based on
the goal orientated opinions
of suntanned -
\'fear mongering\': sluts...
Yes, I totally agree
our \'democratically elected\' government
mishandled this crisis
at every point!
Still, what does that say about us...
Stay Safe brother

The Buddha taught \"life is but an illusion\".

Someone else just said \"writing about yourself is therapy, writing about the world is artistry\".

Goldfinch60 said:

Your words show such truth Dan, as Robert has said if we\'d have kept that first lockdown going for longer and even better to stop ANYONE coming into the country things would have been much better. But those in charge could not (and never will ) see beyond their own fulfillment.

Thanks for that, Dan. Good old Russell B - court jester, truth teller. I haven\'t seen him for a while.
I think what you say is pretty right. But we do have to take precautions on an individual level....or rather, you do with your family and I will have to when covid strikes here in Oz. as it could at any time.
Take care of yourself and family.

wonderfully life affirming sentiments you\'ve shared my friend, way to stay positive!

Dog or not we have mostly forgot
L. B. Mek said:

\'Nature way, is the only way!\'
Amen to that a good write my fried,
Trust born of self worth,
mined from those \'lost minutes\' within introspection\'s sleepless musings,
gifts us an understanding far greater than our intellect can seemingly comprehend - but somehow, we instinctively recognise as being unquantifiable yet undeniably: true...

You have obviously found love in your life Dan and that love has changed your dark into light.

Love the video, she is doing so well.

Doggerel Dave said:

(Provided you don\'t scare other people, scream all you like, mate.)
Dan, I think you\'ve got something there - \'To live is a purpose unrefined\' is a worthwhile conclusion for me, while how you achieve your mid poem balance is probably different for everyone, as you rightly point out.
Take care, Dave

So true Dan, I was brought up with dogs in the house and you just get to know how to be with them so even now in my elder years and I meet dogs all is always fine and dogs can see this and respond so well.
