I envy my cat, Fred.

[Jeebo]

Fred is snoozing on the couch in front of the 50-inch TV, the same couch I sat on for about 12 hours yesterday dejectedly watching election returns. I just petted him on top of his furry head and said, "I envy you, Fred. Because you don't know." He lives in the same house as I do, and yet he lives in a different world. And his world does not include what is now making me miserable in my world.

1. I relate....

[PlanetBev]

2. I envy my deceased parents and friends

They would die all over if they could see what happened last night. At least they don’t have to feel the despair I am feeling now.

5. Yes, glad my parents are dead

[MMBeilis]

3. We should all make sure that our pets do not find out about this, though most of the larger dogs....

....will figure out something is wrong.

4. I hear ya

my cat is sleeping next to me on the couch…a world away while I’m still unable to eat.

6. I also envy Fred.

And my own four furballs.

7. My cat knows something is up.

The last time I was this upset was when a tree fell on our house (Milton). She's probably expecting another hurricane.

To be fair, I would prefer another tree to Trump.

8. Thank you Jeebo...

you made me think about my 2 Yorkies, who are snoozing beside me right now; and of all the other dogs who have owned me over my 84.5 years. I began thinking about what all those dogs have taught me. Thus said; today only, will I 'lick my wounds'. I resolve that beginning tomorrow I will not let all of this defeat me. I will do any thing that is legal, moral and ethical to help right this wrong.

9. Wonderful attitude.

I am glad you are able to adopt such a positive attitude. I'm not sure I will be able to, though. But I'll try. "God grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference."

10. "Getting into politics is like stepping in dogshit." Fred

Actually it was Che Guevarra who said it.

Our cat, "Molly" agrees with Fred and Che.

11. My doggie is in heaven

and I'd rather be there with her than live in this hell on Earth. The fucking moron has slowly been killing me (physically, mentally and emotionally) so I may be joining my baby soon. I hope so! Since I will not be able to get or afford health insur according to the GOP 2025 plan I know what is in my future and it sucks.
