(Or a dog if you prefer, or any animal you and form a connection with for that matter. I've even had pet parakeets that were great companions.
But cats and dogs seem to be especially attuned to humans.)

Onawah, thanks for your comments. I agree with your comment about dogs, we have 2 beautiful Labs who have been a tremendous source of love and joy in our lives.

Attachment 46638

Oh Alan, your labs are beautiful. I lost my beloved lab last September, I thought he was very sad at the sudden decline of my dear, dear border collie. He always had arthritis. Due to CBD, fish oil, and home made food I really improved his health for over 3 years. It turns out my lab may have been mourning the death of his best buddie but he also had bone cancer. I had taken him to a vet which didn't catch it at all.

I am not ashamed to admit that I miss their companionship, there unconditional love, their happiness, their goofiness, their friendship more than any human I have ever known.

Please know that I have read a couple places that they are starting to use mRNA technology in their vaccines. You would need to validate that but I feel an obligation to share this. I am not stating it as a fact, but I read it at two different sources I respect and it would certainly be worth looking into.

Dogs were the best thing that ever happened to me. I love everything about every single one of them.

I virtually never get drunk but do have a couple of glasses of wine almost every day. I'm full of stress and anxiety and it helps me deal with that. If I had access to weed I would use that instead. I've tried meditation many times to deal with my stress but I just can't seem to get into it.

Any suggestions for dealing with stress/anxiety would be most welcome.

Coming from someone that has had a history of overdoing alcohol in my younger years and would get very,very sick from even a couple of beers I stay away. Some times I could have one and sometimes, I didn't seem to have control. If you can have a couple glasses and relax, why not? Marijuana is legal where I live and I wish it worked on me, but it doesn't relax me, it makes me paranoid and anxious....just my luck. Others get a happy warm glow and I get the opposite.

Since I wrote that I discovered you -can- get legal weed in Texas, and yes, it does get you intoxicated. It has helped me cut down somewhat on my wine consumption.
