I'm positive that, if ever something will happen in my life, this forum will never be a part of the experience.
Why would anyone give a stuff what bad happened to me.
Do you really care if I would post that I just killed a snail and I feel very very bad because of that?
Do you actually care if someone got a year older? I think you're just going to post because it's polite but do you really care?
I would! :D
But still, empathy is the key word here. There is no reason people shouldn't care about each other, or have the complex that "Its not me, why should I care?". Such thoughts often lead to pride, greed, and selfishness. Sure, right now its an internet forum, but what about in the "real world"? Perhaps this is a prime example of how the world has come to be. :/
But, on topic, I do hope your dog gets better, Chewy. I don't know what I'd do without my dogs. Best wishes, and I hope things turn out alright. :)
