"La partie la plus difficile d’avoir un chien n’est pas celle que l’on croit.
Ce n’est pas de devoir se lever tôt, même quand il fait froid, même sous la pluie, même quand on a sommeil ou tout simplement pas envie. Ce n’est pas de sortir chaque soir, alors que tout ce qu’on voudrait, c’est rester sur le canapé. Ce n’est pas de ramasser les poils dans chaque recoin de la maison, sur les vêtements, ni de passer l’aspirateur trois fois par jour en sachant que, dans une heure, on croira ne l’avoir jamais fait.
Ce n’est pas de dépenser de l’argent chez le vétérinaire, dans de la nourriture de qualité, ou dans des jouets qui ne dureront que quelques minutes. Ce n’est pas de planifier ses vacances selon s’il peut venir ou non. Ce n’est pas de renoncer à certaines sorties, à certaines invitations, parce que là où tu vas, lui ne peut pas aller.
Tout cela, même si ça paraît beaucoup, ne pèse pas. Ça devient une routine. Ça devient de l’amour.
La partie la plus difficile arrive doucement, comme le crépuscule qui se glisse en silence entre les rideaux.
C’est de remarquer que son énergie n’est plus la même.
C’est de voir que la balle qu’il poursuivait sans relâche reste désormais à mi-chemin, et qu’il te regarde comme pour dire : « j’ai essayé ».
C’est de voir que l’éclat dans ses yeux est toujours là, mais voilé d’une douce fatigue.
C’est de constater que ses poils blancs ne sont plus une anecdote rigolote, mais les marques du temps qui fait son œuvre.
La partie la plus difficile, c’est de te souvenir du chiot maladroit qui mâchouillait tes lacets, et de le regarder aujourd’hui, agitant lentement la queue, le corps fatigué mais l’âme intacte.
La partie la plus difficile, c’est de savoir que, pour toi, il a été une partie de ta vie, mais que pour lui, tu as été toute la sienne.
Et là, oui, le cœur se serre. Parce que tu n’es pas prêt. Tu ne l’es jamais.
Parce que l’amour qu’il t’a donné ne connaît pas de mesure, et que le silence qu’il laissera ne pourra jamais être comblé."
Et pourtant, tu le choisirais encore. Mille fois.
Parce que tout ce qu’il t’a donné, il l’a fait sans jamais rien demander en retour.
Morale :
Avoir un chien, c’est accepter qu’un jour ton cœur se brisera.
Mais c’est aussi savoir que, tant qu’il battra, ce cœur vivra plus plein, plus noble, plus humain.
Parce que celui qui a été aimé par un chien a connu une forme d’amour qu’il n’oubliera jamais.
An illegal migrant has been sent to prison after turning up at a Heywood school armed with a hammer, hatchet and kitchen knife.
A South Sudanese national named Both Douk Deng.
He was stopped at the school with a hammer, hatcher, seven-inch kitchen knife, and jerry can containing half a litre of petrol.
I dread to think - it would have been a pure massacre.
How much more of this do we have to tolerate?
Are we going to gamble with the lives of British children to accommodate these animals?
On day one of a Restore Britain Government, every single of these scumbags who has broken into our country will be detained, and they will be deported.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
The global coup we are all caught up in is explained here. The ‘climate crisis’ is being used to control you, your family and every aspect of your life.
HOW TO FIX YOUR LIFE ALONE
1. Stop waiting for someone to save you.
The day you take responsibility for your life is the day your life begins to change.
2. Learn to enjoy your own company.
If you're uncomfortable alone, you'll often accept people who aren't good for you just to avoid loneliness.
3. Fix your daily habits before trying to fix your entire life.
Better sleep. Better food. More movement. A cleaner space. Small habits create big transformations.
4. Distance yourself from what drains you.
Some people, environments, and routines quietly steal your energy every single day.
5. Stop comparing your journey to everyone else's.
You are not behind. You are not late. You're simply living a different story.
6. Spend less time escaping reality.
Distractions may numb pain temporarily, but they also delay healing and growth.
7. Learn to calm your mind.
Meditation, mindfulness, prayer, silence, journaling, and reflection help you reconnect with yourself.
8. Forgive yourself for who you were during difficult times.
You were doing the best you could with the awareness, pain, and resources you had then.
9. Build discipline instead of relying on motivation.
Motivation is a feeling. Discipline is a decision.
10. Protect your peace.
Not every argument, invitation, relationship, or opportunity deserves access to your energy.
11. Accept that healing takes time.
A life does not fall apart in one day, and it rarely rebuilds in one day either.
12. Keep promises to yourself.
Every promise you keep strengthens self-respect. Every promise you break weakens trust in yourself.
13. Stop talking yourself out of your own potential.
Many people fail before they even begin because they convince themselves they can't.
14. Focus on progress, not perfection.
A small step forward is still forward.
15. Become the person you needed when you were struggling.
Give yourself the patience, kindness, encouragement, and support you once searched for in others.
The hardest part about fixing your life alone is that nobody sees it.
Nobody sees the habits you're changing.
The thoughts you're fighting.
The tears you're hiding.
The discipline you're building.
The healing you're doing in silence.
But one day you'll look back and realize:
The person who rescued you...
The person who refused to quit on you...
The person who slowly rebuilt your life...
Was YOU!

I'm absolutely gutted to hear that Bill Oddie has died. 😔💔
Bill was my hero growing up, first in the hilarious Goodies, then as a birder & naturalist. 🐦
His TV shows brought birdwatching to the masses, his passion & knowledge inspired me.. 🙏
Rest in peace legend! ❤️
As a former police sergeant, I find this footage raises some important questions. From what can be seen, the officer did not clearly identify herself before engaging with the individual. If someone genuinely believed they were being attacked, rather than confronted by a police officer, it is understandable that their immediate reaction may have been to defend themselves. That context is likely to be highly relevant when assessing any allegation of assault against police.
I also remain concerned about the language used by some officers. While I appreciate there are occasions where firm and direct language is necessary, there appears to be a growing acceptance of swearing and unnecessarily offensive language. If a member of the public behaved in the same way towards others, they could potentially face arrest for public order offences. The police should be held to at least the same standard, if not a higher one.
Perhaps I’m old-fashioned, but I believe policing is at its best when officers lead by example through professionalism, courtesy and clear communication. Those principles build public confidence far more effectively than aggression or unnecessary confrontation.
@KevinTheRanter@JohnSwinney We need Nuremberg type trials for everyone who was complicit in this horrific organised crime. The police the politicians the social workers and anyone who knew this was going on and turned a blind eye are every bit as guilty as the perpetrators!
@RupertLowe10@whitey_boy1 Not prison, Nuremberg style hangings for all who are following orders from vaccines to hiding and protecting tape gangs to enable the invasion of our country. Hang them all!
