@clacke Oh wow - I had no idea. (I'm painfully American in some areas :blobcatgiggle: )
Yea that makes a lot of sense. We have those same struggles with non-white babies. It's harder to adopt as people want babies that they can pretend erupted from them directly.
I grew up around a few adopted people and I have non-white family members that I grew up with. They experienced a lot of unique discomfort because they were non-white living in white neighborhoods with white family members. In specific they were made to feel like they weren't real members of our family.
One of them has dealt with those issues into their adulthood and in our later adult life.
> What's new is that the hate has now come for your kids.
That was my take on what you said. Reading that (I'm LGBTQIA+) I immediately think about all the other areas that are invisible boundaries they don't see until all of us flow around them. At risk groups are always the 'canary in the mine' for these types of behaviors and they just never listen.
There is too much personal ownership. They would have to read and understand the blindness, and that hurts. Way easier to just blame the applications.
Thanks for the tunes @Mrfunkedude - I bookmarked you when I have more time to mix it up.
If you happen to enjoy listening to an eclectic radio station that you don't have to monitor and here a guy randomly make jokes in a radio announcer voice -
@Mrfunkedude oh cool. I've done VO but DJ'ng was never my forte. I got the voice - but I'm the one you want sitting in a booth making music for others.
@Mrfunkedude today has been a day of 90mph conversations and firedrills. But it's been productive and overall pretty positive. I appreciate you asking.
Good news? A pretty challenging conversation that has had a lot of egos, attitudes, and big opinions might not be nearly as challenging as we anticipated.
That dog has one of the smiley-ist sets of eyes I've ever seen! I'm cheating a little because I can see the reflection in his eyes - but that is a look of love and adoration - pure and simple enjoyment of the moment.
Dobermans are very social and trainable aren't they? I love dogs but I'm pretty high maintenance so I tend to find furry friends who don't need me as much. :)
He has had you his whole life? What a sweet and wonderful gift to have given him. With his energy levels, you've undoubtable had quite the relationship! I imagine little puppo Dax growing to teenager Dax growing to Adult Dax has been a joy to behold.
I did notice that they tend to live shorter lives - but I think that just makes the time all the more precious, don't you agree?
We are given a million moments to make precious. He is given hundreds of thousands. It sounds like you've spent the better part of his entire existence making them the best moments that anyone could have. That is to be celebrated and commended. :)
