Moka is the first new dog I dog sit since Boss died. I don't have memories of them together. There's nothing "missing" from Moka being here. I don't think about how they used to interact or how they did things together.
Since Boss died I've thought a lot about whether or not I wanted to keep working with dogs. Every interaction was just a painful reminder that he's not here anymore.
When Callie sleeps, I see an empty spot next to her where Boss would have cuddled her.
When Moshi plays, I think of how she would get him to chase her.
I'm alone to go get Theo for his walks, and he doesn't have Boss to shadow, or annoy.
I feel the silence when I meet up with Lola and her human to go for our evening walks. Boss doesn't run up to them barking from excitement.

But with Moka. There's none of that.
And I have to say, it's the first time since Boss died that I'm actually enjoying my time with a dog rather than being sad.

Thank you big boy. Moka bear. Mokaccino.

Hi my name is Moka.

I'm a big Golden Doodle boy who enjoys very leisurely walks, sniffing and making noise complaints.
I'll never say no to a treat unless you think kibble is a treat, then I'll spit it out because how dare you.
My favourite ways to relax are standing with my butt propped up on the couch, (this rump needs support sometimes you know?), sleeping on the couch, sleeping on a dog bed, sleeping on the floor, sleeping in the big chair.

To my mom: take your time, there's no rush to come get me. I'm teaching this new human how to be my butler., chef, personal trainer, and assistant.

If their attacks on Pal was "self defense" and because of the resistance group, why are they annexing the West Bank?
Maybe because the aggression never had anything to do with Oct. 7, getting the hostages back, or "self defense", it was just an escalation of what Izzy was already doing before Oct 7.

Zionists and supporters denied that it had anything to do with ethnic cleansing, with taking the land, and sadly, they're still going to deny what's happening and justify it at the same time.

Knowing what we know about N***s and Hi**er, imagine watching it all unfold on your screens while our leaders defended Hi**er?

We have no leaders.
No one is leading.
All those in positions of power are just circle jerking one another.

Resting bitch face.

Shehar Segal, millionaire (possibly billionaire), the person behind "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation", was first hired to work with the IDF to help with branding after Oct 7.
"When Hamas attacked Israel in 2023 and Israel began its offensive in Gaza, Segal lent his branding expertise to the army, he told an Israeli podcast last year."
"I found myself in the army dealing with influence operations - narrative building," he says. "Fighting the narrative war against Hamas."
"A person familiar with GHF's activities says the Israeli government asked Shahar Segal, the Israeli restaurant owner, to join the group to project the image that the initiative has nutritional value for Gazans."
"Segal sends daily updates about the Gaza food project from his base in New York, where his restaurant group is expanding to a new luxury condo development in Brooklyn."

There's so much to say.

17 years ago a friend drove me to the south shore to meet a dog named Tuna. He was wild, hyper, barky and and running around jumping on us. A few days later, June 23, 2009, he was home with me.
He's been gone 6 months and I'm still grieving.
I miss his barking, his destruction of toys, his hu***ng of pillows (his own), his love of sticks, his love of just laying down and sniffing the air, his love of games.
I miss his snoring, the sound of his paws when he walked around, and I miss talking to him, telling him he's a good boy. I miss him sleeping next to me while I worked and coming with me to walk dogs, and being his grumpy self when we had doggy guests staying with us.
You know what I don't think about?
I don't think "I should have corrected him more", "I should have used an e-collar", "I should have je**ed the leash harder", "I should have used more fear and more stress in his training"
In fact, I regret every moment I was ever impatient, or harsh, or stern with him. These moments, though they were few and far between, haunt me. Especially those from the first couple of months because I didn't know anything about dog behaviour or training then.
Another thing that weighs heavily on my mind are the people of Palestine. Those in Gaza have lost everything, many have lost their pets too. But their pets didn't die peacefully, with a sedative and some treats they're not usually allowed to have. If I'm struggling with the loss of Boss, how the f**k are they doing with not just the loss of their pets, but losing friends and family, belongings, mementos, their homes and with the loss just piling on? How do they not just curl up in a ball and sob? How do they keep going through all of this AND starvation, no clean water, no menstrual products, no medication, nothing.
I f**king miss Boss and I recognize that just grieving him is a privilege that millions of people in Palestine, Sudan, Congo don't have. I get to hold Boss' sweater, have a keepsake of his fur, spend time looking at pictures of him.
I get to curl up and do nothing but cry if I don't feel like doing anything.
I get to celebrate his gotcha day.
Happy gotcha day Boss man.

It's the little things. Like cutting up a cucumber. I pick up the ends and turn to toss them to Boss.
It's so automatic, that I only realize what I'm doing once I've turned and Boss isn't there.
It's not the first time I've cut cucumbers since he's been gone, but after 16 years of giving him pieces of cucumber while I slice it doesn't just stop because he isn't there anymore.
I turn and he's not there and I'm f**king shattered all over again.
It's not just that he's not here as though he were somewhere else like at the cottage with my parents because I'm dog sitting a dog reactive dog.
No. He's not there because he no longer exists.
Like he never existed and I'm the only one who saw him.
Like a ghost.
Or like everyone's memories of him have been erased and I'm the only one who remembers who he was.
And I'm the only one who misses him.

We need a thousand . Every celebrity who has worn Palestines colours on the red carpet, who has declared they support Palestine but haven't done anything to help, should be on a ship helping to bring aid. They have the money, the means, the power and influence to do more than wearing a pin and do more than sharing posts on social media.
