Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
7/4: the kindness of strangers
We've been taking care of a stray puppy for the past few days, but we knew we couldn't keep him long term. We've been trying to find a good next step for him. Adoptions are down nation-wide because of the economic situation, and our local Humane Society isn't accepting any more animals. The city-owned animal welfare shelter would have put him to sleep. A dog-focused no-kill organization in Little Rock helped us out, and today we dropped off the puppy with them. They'll raise him at a foster home and get him adopted. It was sad to send him on, but it's good that he'll be with people who know how to handle and train dogs. I hope we launched him well!
The organization's volunteers whom we met seemed really nice, too. One of them emailed me to say that the puppy is doing well in the foster home, and that's great news.
