Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)

I think it was someone on here that shared a poem a couple years ago when I was struggling with pet loss. It was something about why you should never love a dog, never a get a dog, something. But it turned around on itself. It was really beautiful and moving and FB searches are turning up nothing and I would really like to find it again. I did try searching our site, and couldn’t find it either. Ideas?

It doesn't sound familiar. I know there is The Rainbow Bridge poem. That really brings me comfort when I think of my babies that have passed. However, that is not the one I think you are searching for.

I finally found it. I was thinking of Power of the Dog by Rudyard Kipling. It kept me up last night. I couldn’t remember any of the actual verses, and was thinking it actually said something about not buying a dog, but that’s not the wording used.

I'm glad you found it.

I'm glad you found it, too! I just looked it up and read it.

Well I update my avatar. What do you think?

Very cool.

I saw Joker yesterday. I liked it a lot. It was very sad though. It's not how you would think the Joker's story would turn out. I think it was a very good film nonetheless.

Starting the second campaign for Critical Role while drinking and wood burning. Trying to chill out for the evening and get some work done before all the ridiculousness of tomorrow

Today, I went to a friends for Thanksgiving. It marked my 11th one in a row with them. The grandchildren are teenagers and above now. One of the boys has an actual mullet and wants to get it permed. I wanted to laugh but they were serious...

The other thing on my mind today is the movie "The Irishman" - fabulous! It's long, but not for one moment did I lose interest. Joe Pesci is top notch, and everyone else is, too. The actress who played Lois in Goodfellas is in it. (Lois was the drug mule near the end, when Henry was seeing helicopters and making sauce, who wouldn't fly without her hat.)

Went out to do some shopping yesterday. I didn't go all out crazy with buying. There were so many people out on the roads. It was really crazy. I'm going to check out some deals online later today. Black Friday is a crazy day. Anyone else do some Black Friday shopping?

I'm glad you found it.

in the vain of fur babies. this by myself
SOFTLY

Padding across the velvet dark, contradiction all combined
Brushing across my sleeping face, friendship so inclined
I feel so happy when you honor me, by being close to me
Whispering softly in my ear, all the secrets that you see

From a little furry ball of fluff, to prancing, dancing sage
You make this drama that I live, bring laughter to my stage
Listening to my every word, quietly nodding answers to my pain
For every moment that I want to quit, you are there again

Anything that I could do, to make your day a joy
Some catnip packed within your very favorite toy
As I gaze upon your form, laying on your mat
In all the world I know, there is nothing like a Cat
