Happiest when out for a walk with my dog, swinging a poo bag and throwing a ball

[Dogs 4 Rescue @Dogs4Rescue]

An appalling lack of judgement from @WomansWeeklyMag whose ‘Money Makers’ editorial suggested taking up dog breeding to make some quick cash ���😡
But how on earth has this suggestion become normalised in our society? That is the question that sits above their error of judgement. And that is why we are making this video and asking you all to RT it.
Publishing an apology needs to be replaced with a concerted effort on their part to educate their readers about the state of the rescue crisis, and the benefits of adopting a rescue over buying a puppy. Not just one token article, they owe us all a sustained campaign.

@sleeepysandy @kateofdoom Don’t they come with the same risks? Do you have any links or info as I just don’t know enough about the differences. My mum had Alzheimer’s and in those circumstances, without capacity, it doesn’t bear thinking about. Or again, where people feel coerced/a burden.

@kateofdoom @sleeepysandy Thank you ❤️ I was genuinely asking how that experience could have been made better but the original poster has now blocked me. Assisted dying is such a challenging topic, but people need to discuss all sides openly. I’d like to be protected in old age but also have the choice😢

@sleeepysandy @kateofdoom Dad spent his final week in hospital, with cancer begging die. He was surrounded by medical professionals, on hand with pain relief and relaxants and between us, we never left his side. He had green bile streaming from his mouth, nose & eyes. How could that be made better? 💔

@OrganisedPauper @sleeepysandy What would better palliative care look like?

@mimoma99 @Joannechocolat Sing and dance as much as you can, and take pictures and videos to remind you of those moments 💙

@JoeyMannarinoUS Washing the area daily in 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (on advice of dermatologist) has really helped mine. Had it pre covid so not related to the vac (likely related to stress).

@kally0277 @NatHird77 @CV_Dalcher Would it matter?

@ultra_vegan Hi 👋🏼🙂

@PaulHic85721620 @fesshole …but then who would walk the dog?

@helenh49 @kateferguson4 @PippaCrerar I’ve just come across this. Lots of British housing on there already

Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

[Alan Davies @alandavies1]

I often walk my dog past Athlone House and wonder what goes on behind the new gates & fences. Turns out it was bought for £65m by a Russian oligarch who won’t denounce Putin. RT if you agree it should be seized & repurposed to house Ukrainian refugees: https://t.co/1eJQurT2Jg

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]
