Here is what we want to know…
… hasn’t 2020 been epically bad enough?
Apparently not.
Buckle up, Friends — we still have over three months to go.
How Pandemic Life has Ruined Twirling
I miss Normal Life.
You know, that time when we could go places and do fun things and not have nightmares about giving Covid-19 to someone we love.
I miss things being as they are supposed to be. Not this misshapen version of life.
The dead people — over 197,000 in the USA — I want them alive. I want all the broken hearts to be whole again.
I want my innocence back — I did not want to know all the things about people. The selfishness. The ignorance. The racism.
It all hurts my heart.
I want to do my own version of twirling again.
And I can’t.
I thought I would venture out in settings I considered careful — to twirl around the show ring with my dogs.
And then I saw photos of a Berner person proudly showing her dog with her silly gauze mask on her chin.
That is the kind of person I would need to trust.
I pulled my entries.
If my tribe is wrong about masks, all that has happened is we have worn masks.
If her tribe is wrong about masks, people die.
I do not get it. Wouldn’t one put up with something annoying and inconvenient if it might save a life?
Like a seat belt?
A designated driver?
A stop sign?
A Building Inspector?
A leash?
You know what I wish?
I wish they cared.
About the dead people and all the broken hearts.
About how their ___________ (insert any number of unflattering character traits) is ruining things for the rest of us in small ways — and devastating ways.
I miss Normal Life but even more, I miss the peace of mind I used to have twirling through the world…
…not knowing I was surrounded by people who would happily kill others with their ignorance.
Their very intentional ignorance.
Pandemic Life is exhausting and sad, isn’t it? For so many reasons.
Family
When things feel crowded on Long Island, Ruthie (Sparkler) has her own lake and cabin in Maine…
I think we all need such a place these days.
Ruthie reports there is just one small problem…
Acorns.
Like Ruthie, I think we could all handle that! Thank you, Lori :)
Out west in California, Nikko (iPup) and Zed (Sparkler) are unfortunately dealing with smoke…
Stay safe, boys!
Thank you to Tony for the photos.
Wildflower Zeus is celebrating his human’s birthday.
Happy Birthday, Penny!
And speaking of family, we did a quick outside visit with the Heintzbergers on the way home from Boise. Their new place is Pozy-approved…
Please have an awesome Pozy-approved day of your own!
