DOG WALKING TO START A BETTER WORLD

Dog walking for a ‘better world’ sounds pretty good.

But what’s a better world?

Let’s start with a cleaner world.

Sure, clean air and clean water are important, imperative, and yet impossible to demand when dirty air and dirty water means more money for the polluting industries.

You may wheeze when you breath and gag when you drink tap water, but it’s the dog crap that takes the #1 spot when it’s on your shoes, your clothes, your furniture, your floor.

If you don’t have a yard, but do have a dog, you understand the importance of dog walking.

Besdes, what’s good for the dog is good for you and your environment.

Let’s say it together:

Dog walking is good for the environment.

But it only works if you pick up after your dog. Leaving dog doodle where it drops ads to the problem.

Fixing Problems With Dog Walking Rules

The first rule of dog walking is having a good dog.

A good dog knows it matters.

It knows it matters because its owner keeps dog fed and clean.

But sometimes that’s not enough.

This is when you learn how to be a better dog person.

They call it ‘Obedience Class,’ and pretend it’s for the dog.

It’s where you learn to identify problem areas and how to address them.

Actually, it’s a life lesson on how to deal with any problems when you believe in no bad dogs, just bad owners.

Life Lesson #1 From Dog Walking

Me: Is your dog friendly?

Them: No.

This is an invitation to keep dogs apart from each other.

Life Lesson For Dental Health:

Dentist: Does your tooth hurt?

Me: Yes.

First, identify the problem.

Cracks roots leaking bad tooth mojo is a problem.

Solution: Extraction

Two hours later, after multiple attempts to get every last little tiny piece of tooth followed by three x-rays, problem solved.

That’s one broken tooth that won’t be breaking other things in a run for better health.

I drifted while I sat in the chair with what felt like six hands working. One set was drilling and probing, one was suction, and one set of hands was giving me the fish hook from hell to make room for the others.

Then I passed out a little, jostled awake by the fish hook fingers.

You don’t want a life decorated by dog shit, or a life defined by a killer tooth that wants to take you down.

Action in the face of potential problems in the future make for a brighter future.

Vote Like A Dog Walking Pro

These midterm elections shine a light on the future.

One party is getting railed for bringing justice to the insurrection riot of Jan. 6.

The self-proclaimed ‘Law and Order’ party is working overtime to convince voters it wasn’t an insurrection, just a normal day at the Capitol with normal tourists.

A law and order group loses a little when its leader is a professional scofflaw.

Actually it loses a lot and it’s still not enough.

Like a tooth gone bad, anti-government bad actors need extraction from public life, even if they’ve been elected by an anti-government base.

What is it about a voter base who votes against their own self-interest in order to comply with the wishes of a proven failure?

Does it make half the country losers because they can’t tell the difference?

Tune into a college football game being played in the Deep South where the players are a black majority and the audience a white majority cheering their team on the field, but denying their community off the field.

And they can’t tell the difference.

Oregon Primary Elections

Every state has highlights.

I’m sure Mississippi has highlights. One of them is not Governor Tate Reeves.

Shy away from anyone who copies Tate Reeves blazing trail to the top in a state rated 50th in education:

This is some of what Reeves believes on his wiki page.

“Reeves is a staunch Donald Trump supporter.

In his 2019 campaign for governor, Reeves promised, “If I’m elected governor, I will work for President Trump.”“

Your guy is supposed to work for his constituents, not a golden icon of shit-talk.

If you can’t see a golden icon of shit-talk, get a super bright light and rub some horse paste on it.

Republican Oregon Is Running Christine Drazen

What are the chances Christine Drazen is different than ol’ Tate.

Does Oregon need a Trump lady clone who comes from the political drama side of serving the people?

During her time as Minority Leader the Republicans refused to attend legislative meetings in order to deny a quorum so that legislation could not be passed. Drazan participated in these quorum denials and left the state. She also forced the readings of the entirety of legislation as a delaying tactic.

She was endorsed by Oregon Right to Life during the 2022 election.She opposes Measure 114 and received an A rating from the NRA.

I can’t sit before this keyboard and say anyone in any level of state power who aspires their state to copy Mississippi.

Besides, Oregon is working through enough problems of its own.

Why not work on the things that work here, not somewhere else.

With people making up solutions to problems bigger than the problems, like part of the state joining Idaho, or Northern California, Mississippi might be right for them.

Who wants to take a chance on a governor more than happy to skew election laws, improve the gun lobby, and applaud forced birth?

Flushing Oregon gains locally could end up putting the state on a boycott list, as in don’t come to Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, or Oregon.

If dog walking can start a better world, dogs would vote, but they can’t.

So vote with them in mind.

Just be sure you vote the dog and not the shadow.
