People amaze me sometimes...
So I came off of college, and right on the square I see a helping dog (I think that's what they call those in english) for a person walk around, all on his own, munching on some sigarette buds and trying to eat a sandwich out of a plastic bag. (unfortunately that's just how dogs think) It didn't really work out super well, so he decided to eat the whole damn bag around the sandwich as well.
Now, I know that you're not supposed to approach helping dogs and stuff, but I did try to gently approach him and coax him towards me to maybe see if I could just convince him
not to eat a goddamn plastic bag. But, no, he was way too shy, and skitted off to, with a little bit effort, just swallow the bag whole.
Realising it wouldn't be smart to come after him, I just found the nearest bunch of staff and asked them if they knew who the dog belonged to, and if they knew that he just ate a whole damn garbage bag.
Well, they knew. And, "Oh, no! It's fine! This exemplar is capable of doing that!" -They jokingley said.
Really? You think that?
You think that you can just leave a dog all alone on a college square and just let him eat anything he finds, without some serious health issues over the long run? And dammit, not even on the long run, but that poor dog must be feeling horrible with all that crap in his guts!! And, For Christ's sake, could you not,
at the very least have taught him to not eat crap off the ground? Is that just how you treat a creature that's dedicating almost their entire life to helping you get around!?
I'd liked to have seen the amount of crap that woman who owned said dog would've got the same norms for care that applied to children, applied to dogs as well...
And call me hippie-dippie, but sometimes I wish they did...

Hey, please just ignore this if this isn't applicable, and you have a perfectly balanced diet, but if you don't, try picking up some salads or some fruit, in your life. And maybe sit in the sun for atleast a few minutes each day.
I know it sounds petty, and it is, but even a petty amount of fruit vegetables, and sunlight, can make one hell of a diffirence, and can make you feel better! And, it's not like it's that expensive as well. An nice apple averages for about .80 cents each, in my local supermarket, and that was one of the more expensive apples!
I've felt that myself in Scotland. Living off of beef jerkey, and beans in tomatoe sauce, it only took a little bit of wet and cold to make me (out of all people) feel bad enough to skip breakfast in a hotel.
And I'm a Dutchie. Skipping something that's included in the price of something is a mortal sin for a Dutchie, so whenever they do that, it means they're seriously feeling bad!
I hope y'all start feeling better, and/or don't get sick, though!
