  • It’s the 10th of Stan Rawlinson’s 10 Pet Commandments:

    -Stay with me on the ultimate difficult journey. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do I will always love you.

    What a strange, cruel policy from the vet. When I had to put my cat down, my vet had me hold her in my arms while she administered the shot, and then she left the room so it could be just me and my cat til the end. Since I decided to take her body home to bury on my parents’ property, my vet recommended that I show her to my remaining cat so that we could mourn together. She said he would understand what death meant if he got to see her, but he would be distressed more if she just disappeared.

    What a hideous policy for everyone involved, shame on this vet/shelter for so many reasons.


  • It’s called the scrub mommy because it has a soft side :)

    (I didn’t make that up, thats their advertising).

    Also it does 2x the work for less money than the scrub daddy costs. I didn’t make that up either, but it’s true, they’re cheaper, and that’s very funny.









  • I started using reddit in 2011, I’m not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I’m a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven’t actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I’m waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I’m used to using (aka easier) and then I’ll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I’m subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I’m excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it’s new and small still.
