  • I’m so sorry that happened. I was incredibly concerned when my dog’s vomit started smelling foul. It was only bile, thank God. I get to give my carpets a thorough scrubbing while my pup is away recovering. My parents were kind enough to take her in for a while for her recovery so I can get the rest I need and get some much-needed chores done. She was sick off and on for almost a week before her symptoms got bad enough to warrant a vet visit and I barely slept in that time. I should have taken her to the vet sooner, but she wasn’t acting truly sick until day 5. Until then she just puked every so often and I figured she ate something gross outside or wasn’t eating enough because she was eating so much snow. When she turned her nose at chicken and rice, I panicked. That’s her favorite meal.









  • Oh yeah. COVID was the worst. Some funny things came out of it, though. My grandma adopted a dog during the pandemic and I jokingly said she should name the dog Rona, short for Coronavirus. She fuckin did. The dog’s full name is Rona Jean Nelson. Nelson is the last name of the fictional black man my grandma said she was engaged to to piss off our racist extended family. The dog goes crazy if you sing to her “Roni Toni Sliced Baloney!”











  • I’m not a parent, but my little sister was adopted. The worst experience of the whole process was losing my sister’s little brother. The boy was a foster child and my sister had just been adopted at the time and the judge presiding over the boy’s case decided he didn’t wanna go through the evidence and sent the poor kid back to his abusive bioparents. It tore my family apart to lose him and my parents divorced a year later. My sister didn’t understand why her little brother was taken away and I was crushed and haven’t fully recovered, and that was 18 years ago. I always tell people who are fostering/adopting in the US to be prepared for heartbreak because apparently this kind of thing is very common. They don’t care about keeping siblings together, and jokes of judges can damn a child to more abuse.
