Oh my gosh, that is such a sweet story!
@beingtam looks like a lovely lady - I'm so glad you two found each other through Dax! What a cool met up.

Animals are so often the best of us aren't they? I know with Zara (my cat) she just seems to know when the day wasn't the best, you know? She might not communicate verbally - but there is definite compassion, understand, and a 'togetherness' that I absolutely believe is real and lovely.

What kind of doggo is Dax? Sorry if you've mentioned him in the past - I'm relatively new to Mastodon, so I'm still learning who's who. :)

@Mrfunkedude Sir, first things first - breathe. You won't be able to help if you don't help you, right? :)

It might be something concerning, it might be something benign - right? We have equal chances at both so maybe focusing on the positive and finding out how we can make this as positive as we can?

Dax is a good dog, I'm sure. You're such a good doggo-dad that I have full confidence Dax is loved, in a good home, and has a happy and fulfilling doggo life. That isn't necessarily over.

What if it isn't an infection and something worse? We handle it. You speak with the medical experts, get an assessment, and then you decide with the doctors how you'd like to approach this.

Then you go to GoFundMe and let us help you with medical expenses if they are necessary.

FOR TODAY - I have one request. You are such a wonderfully positive person. Can I have a wonderfully positive experience you've had with Dax? I'm a cat guy - but I know doggos love their owners. Can you share?

@Mrfunkedude Thank you for this! I happen by it this evening and it lands at the perfect moment.

* Social media is a facet of yourself. It is important to take time for everything.

* Notifications will be there when you are ready for them. They won't go away. You can let them build up or just ignore them until you are ready.

* Bookmarks help reduce worry about notifications. Worried someone you like said something you might miss? Bookmark it then come back and read it / unbookmark it later.

* You owe no one anything social engagement, they owe you the same thing.

@Mrfunkedude I thought Solo was that documentary on the red cups - I didn't even KNOW it was in the franchise. They really missed the branding mark there.

@Mrfunkedude Jokes on John. I auto-purge non-engaged posts.

:blobcatdab:

I'm not sure if that is the appropriate emoji, please swap it out with a more acceptable one if so.

@Mrfunkedude That is freaky COOL!

Mine just makes a click and sounds like it's drowning.

Absolutely need to figure out how to hack your doorbell.

@Mrfunkedude I kind of want to hear your rice cooker.

Does it scream, "SOMEONE'S HERE!!!!" when the rice is ready or just play a specific sound?

@dreamthievin They do. :) https://www.amazon.com/Reeses-Creamy-Peanut-Butter-18-Ounce/dp/B00E8LMAVY
