There’s so much doom on social media right now. The environment is collapsing. The economy will crash. Civil rights are ending. Democracy is dead.
What keeps you going? Why do you still get up and go do what needs to be done when the world seems to be ending around us?
My dogs. I stagger their ages so that I’ll always have at least one and thus would feel too guilty to ever kill myself.
Ours are 11, 7, and 3.
Nice. Mines about 3. Would you wait until 5 for a new one?
Depends on the breed / size of the dog. Large dogs have shorter lives. I like large dogs. About five years is a good age to get a puppy in that context. I wouldn’t wait more than seven years.
