Well my morning was ... interesting. My poor dawg Macey collapsed over her cookie this morn, and gave me the scare of my life. She started thrashing around and whining and I thought she was having The Big One. We have laminate floors that are slippery and she couldn't get her footing to get up. I just laid down on the floor beside her, grabbed her up with a big hug and calmed her down and petted her until she settled down. I have no idea what her problem was... maybe she just had a senior's moment and forgot how her legs worked. At length we got up as if nothing had happened. She went and stole Mort's treat and went into her crate to eat it - so it was back to business as usual.
I have been convinced, for the past two years, that she is gonna die any day now. She falls down stairs. She falls up them. She doesn't walk much anymore and when she does, she is just bagged afterward. Been like that for two years now, and I am beginning to think I am going to die and go to hell and she will inherit my vast estate and fortunes!
I started doing my clean up chores for the day and happened by this wonderful podcast by Jordan Petersen. I love this guy - he is a classical liberal and is a fossil left over from the days when you could still talk to liberals and debate with them without having to go to war with them. Here he interviews Pierre Poilievre - who is running to lead the conservative party for Canada. This is a real interview, not the typical lefty shitshows and hatchet jobs you see on the mass media all the time. Both men see the problems the nation faces with rampant shitlibbery and cuck conservatism and both make some interesting observations. You Yanks complain all the time about the Uniparty you have down there... welp, us Canadians could give you guys lessons on how that works! I was seriously thinking about 'voating harder' because there wasn't a lick of difference between the libs and the cucks - both groups are utterly unconcerned with working people or the middle class, and totally consumed with hanging on to their soft cushy jobs in politics. What's the point in voting when the parties are both filled with grifting shitheads and petty tyrants and sexual perverts?
Pierre makes the right noises, and says the things that our cuck conservatives are generally too gutless to get into. I am seriously thinking of renewing my membership in the conservative party and voting for him to lead it when the time comes. But... talk IS cheap with these guys. They'll say whatever they gotta say, and renege on it later. Voating is just so much kabuki theatre up here in Canada. But... somebody has to run this shit show, and Turdo La Doo is clearly not capable of the job... I dunno. At least... in this interview, the players are allowed to speak, there is no agenda, and none of the usual media hype and histrionics and clown acts.
If you are Canadian, conservative, and have a whack of chores to do today - put 'em on and put in your ear buds and spend some enjoyable time with rational adults talking about the issues of our day. I am old enough to remember when this was the way everyone acted.
But all this stuff is Canadian. Gawddammitalltohell... my lawn is growing as I type this, so I better get after it before it gets after me. I hope your chores are quick and fast, that the family is coming over and that you have some fun things planned. Have a great Sunday and - as always - thanks for stopping in. For us... Macey is fine for now and all is well. Life doesn't get any better than that.
Cheers,
Filthie
My dog Dexter is thirteen years old. Has a small lipoma growing off the side of this ribs along with one on his belly between peepee and back leg. Not big but I'm watching them carefully. I'm single (divorced) and he's been my best buddy for his whole life. I remember when he was a little puppy how attentive he was when he was called. Knew he was something special then and he practically understands English now. Rescue dog. They're the best.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a bad day (week...month) at Mikey's House in the Woods when this dog passes.
I hear ya Mikey. Macy is 16 and her time grows short. I won’t mourn when mine passes because I know she has a place to go when the time comes. Your friend will too, and we’ll see them again when our time comes.
DeleteSorry to hear about your pup, Glen. Hopefully she pulls through.
ReplyDeleteI gave this show a listen a couple of weeks back, just after it came out. Like you, I have almost no faith in the political system or the conservative party of Canada - the latter merely exists for its own sake. But a bunch of military vets recommended the show, so I gave it a listen.
I want to believe that Poilievre (AKA 'Smol PP', as he is affectionately referred to by Raging Dissident) is going to fix these problems. He certainly knows what they are. But as you've more or less said yourself, it's one thing to talk the talk but quite another to walk the walk.
By the way, if you're looking for a good podcast, Jeremy MacKenzie's (AKA Raging Dissident) show is a decent listen. It is quite lengthy, averaging about 3 hours per show, and being an ex Canadian Infantry NCO, he's pretty salty. But it's a good show all the same.
I’m terrible, JL. I’ve seen Bracken around for years and never followed him until recently. I will check out this new guy too. We seem to have very similar taste in the company we like to keep on line. Glad your up and poasting again too! Hope your recovery is fast… this country needs more men like you guys.
DeleteMr. Filthie- I've had 5 German shepherds. All heros in their own way. I let one live too long due to my own interest. When you see the happiness disappear from their eyes, it's time. I hate this part. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Tex. You can see that look and so far, I haven’t seen it. She falls down the stars and thinks it’s funny when I flip out. As long as I see that smile and the glint in her eye… we’re good. But when her Maker calls her home…I will know it and send her along. I figure I’ll have the vet give a mild trank to begin with so that she sleeps…and then give her the nasty one once she’s under. I intend to be there when I hand her off to her new Owner and make everything as easy as I can for her. She has had a good dog life and lived well, and hopefully she will pass the same way.
Deletedo not know about dogs but the occasional cat will sometimes have a seizure and then go on as if nothing
