It’s not weird at all! It’s the way The Creator, God made us. I can be depressed some days, then I take my walk on the coast and I’m in awe of the birds! Two days ago I saw a falcon on a wire. I could have sat there all day and stared at it.
I love dogs! I love Yappy Hour at The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park. The dogs are so good. During my time in rehab for my hip replacement over St Patrick’s Day March 2007 a therapy dog breed Irish Setter came in. He had a St Patrick’s green bandanna on and he was so loving. What a memory!
Unfortunately the wonderful dogs must be vaxxed to the hilt to do their work. It's kept us from offering our services...Veterinary medicine is another killing field with faithful followers. Vets make most of their money from unnecessary vaccines.
Excellent point, one I hadn't considered before. Thank you. I'm sitting next to my dog Cassie right now, btw. She was vaccinated before I adopted her as an adult dog. Now under my care, she will not be receiving anymore, that's for sure.
Yep. Other than the vax already given when I get my next rescue (hopefully far in the future since I’ve got 2 lovies now), I plan to steer clear of vets as much as possible. Same as for me and docs!
We're now living in pre-pharma days of old, and hopefully we can handle issues with nature's cures. I found a naturopathic vet who was kind enough to send me homeopathic remedies for one of my dogs. That's the course from here out.
can't figure how to put letters to the sound i'm making when i look at that image but corresponds to feeling in heart + what dog says when he so glad to see you.

God gave us dog so that we could all experience unconditional love. Dogs see and understand more about life, the universe and everything than we credit. Dogs are such a blessing. Everyone should have at least one dog in their life. Woof!
I could use a therapy dog myself right about now! lovely photo. thx for posting it. ps I don't mind your grumping about the death of honest and true journalism. I wish you and yours a happy happy merry merry holiday. enjoy!
Topic close ta my heart! Proud ta honor a dear lady who started the first therapy dog program in the whole USA--her name was Robin Kovary--a tee-riffic dog trainer and dear soul who I was lucky enuf to call a friend. The St. Vincent's hospital pioneer dog therapy program Robin started was then modeled all over the USA (with her help/direction) and therapy dogs are now a thing (an' a good'un too!) at many hospitals. Robin also helped bring therapy dogs to the NY Foundling Hospital and the Village Nursing home--both in Downtown Manhattan too.--they served as pilot programs before the big once at St Vincents created under the auspices of champion dog lover Ellen Martin.
My late great GSD Zelda an' I were a team volunteering there and St. Vincents was the first NYC Hospital to welcome AIDS patients too (I was happy to bring'em smiles with my sweet Zelda! sad knowin' what I know now thanks to yer own hard work Celia--too many good folks died've the AIDS protocols but St V didn't know...).
Many've us volunteers were local "ahrtists" who were also dog lovers! The beautiful side'of dog therapy was seein' smiles or even better, progress! I recall one patient that would not do any physical therapy but was more'n happy to practice her grasp brushin' my doggie! Ellen allowed dogs in bed too! (This was no small thing at a hos-spittle!) So many hoops we all had ta go thru... (I do regret the "vaxxines" we volunteers had to take--an' the dogs too...sadly.. Once I learned 'bout "jabs-bad" we did titers later an' our AWESOME therapy dog cert program TDI -- Therapy Dogs International--was happy to certify with them/titers alone but sadly NYC mandated the rabies shot--the worst killer shot've them all--and city license was required by the hospital natch so we had no choice thar... .
To this day DELTA Society -- the largest therapy dog cert agency--requires dogs to have all their jabs--unlike TDI. FYI my lovely therapy dog got bone cancer right at the injection site've her rabies jabs (left hip), an' I myself got my own health issues post-hospital-mandated jabs (volunteers must meet same requirements as workers...) Also a kid with ASD which was likely related to the hospital-mandated jabs (per late great Dr. Ed Yazbek...yes maternal indeed MMR jabs even within a few YEARS of havin' kids kin cause babies to have autism--happened to his own grandson...a good caveat fer all mamas-to-be)
But anywho, I NEVER for one minute regretted the 5-ish years spent volunteerin' at St. Vincents with my bee-u-tiful doggie. Happy to honor the lady that' started it all---RIP Robin Kovary (sadly conventional Big C treatment at St V's took her own young life way too early)
Blessins' to all the therapy doggies an' their human partners all over the USA.
St. Vincents is now an expensive condo-mini-um complex. Sad indicat'er 've these times...
Side note on St Vincent's welcome everyone policy. St Vincents was a Catholic Hospital-- Robin was Jewish ---ditto here--and at this awesome place EVERYONE was welcome--'specially ALL the AIDS patients shamefully rejected by other places all over NYC!) St Vincents also were great to mamas (pro-nursing, pro-kangaroo care, pro-havin' midwives an' doulas around; my younger daughter was born there so the entire place brings back good memories...
Dog Therapy is a good balm for the troubles we are facin' all over! I think we all need some!
Final note--Robin trained a lotta celeb dogs incl. all photog. Bruce Weber's labs (who even rode horses!), I believe she worked many times with William Wegman...an' also then-locals like Riki Lake... She gave back in spades! (and only used positive / Karen Pryor methods... not to "Bash" the competition but dog folks'll know what I mean 'bout diff. trainin' methodologies thar...) Positive is the best, sumthin' we all need...
In a real sense you’re right Celia, it’s like complaining about the weather. For my part though, in order to stop I may have to go into rehab. It’s a recurring theme for us on TNT Radio Down Under, including on my own program. My last substantive article here on Substack moreover was a hatchet job on the New York Times’s rep. (⬇️👀) It won’t change the “Times” of course, I know that. All I can hope for is that a few more folks are awakened to the unadulterated mendacity and venality of the Establishment media, of which The Times is one of its primary standard bearers. I do believe — perhaps naively — that more folks are awakening to the MSM’s criminal shortcomings.
On a slightly different note, I read somewhere the other day that more and more people are reportedly becoming much warier about vaccination (compulsory or no). Well before any of us had any idea of the extent of the “adverse events”, this is something I suggested in an article early last year might be an unintended consequence of the hyper-aggressive vax push throughout the Covid “pandemic”.
Perhaps also a greater public awareness of the role the MSM has played in this “push” and the still unfolding tragedy that are the “adverse events”, (Pharma-speak for “deadly side effects”) might in fact be one of positive outcomes of The Great Covid Clot-shot Crap-shoot. So for this reason alone I’m going to keep kvetching about these cretinous creatures who populate our media.

BRIEF: Since its establishment in 1851, the venerable New York Times has enjoyed one of the most enduring, iconic reputations of all the world’s leading newspapers. Of this few folks would be in doubt, including those who might be less enamoured of the so named “Old Gray Lady’s” unique charms. What’s less certain though is whether such ‘notoriety’ is still deserved after all these years; as heretical as it might be for the ‘faithful’ to contemplate, perhaps ‘her’ best days are past. In this two part series, Greg Maybury ‘spills some ink’ in the service of a higher truth about this self-styled bastion of journalistic integrity.

Good journalism is not dead. It just moved from msm outlets to Twitter and then to Substack. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I read all your articles and really look forward to the next.
It would be nice if we could enlighten the world to the truths as we see it. But one person at a time.
There are 3 friends that I discuss the news I read, for example from your great journalism. It’s such a pleasure to know I’m not alone in my thinking.
I’m an alcoholic that treats my disease moment to moment trying to maintain my conscious contact with God and stop listening to my ego. If I listened to my ego it would fill me south unneeded bad thoughts about world affairs. The world is fucked but today was a good day me. I am grateful for all the good things in my life today. Dogs Cats Chickens Rabbits and an apricot tree full of juicy fruit that I’m harvesting and drying. And I get to read your enlightening and refreshing posts Celia. Can’t beat that with a stick :)
This warms my heart….as my puppy lets me use his body as a pillow when I’m sad. They feel it. Love you Celia🤗
My feline companion, Nefertiti, has similar instinct and sensibility.
Animals are smart.
Even the chickadees at my bird-feeders look up at the window and say "Thank you" in their own language.
I love this! This plandemic has changed me so much in the strangest ways, relationships with animals is one of them. I know, weird.
It’s not weird at all! It’s the way The Creator, God made us. I can be depressed some days, then I take my walk on the coast and I’m in awe of the birds! Two days ago I saw a falcon on a wire. I could have sat there all day and stared at it.

Hopefully these sweet creatures have a bit of guard dog in 'em, to protect the kids from nurses/doctors wielding vaxx-filled syringes. :)
Unfortunately the wonderful dogs must be vaxxed to the hilt to do their work. It's kept us from offering our services...Veterinary medicine is another killing field with faithful followers. Vets make most of their money from unnecessary vaccines.
I hate vaccines for animals as much as I do I humans. I am definitely "anti-vaxx."
YES.
Excellent point, one I hadn't considered before. Thank you. I'm sitting next to my dog Cassie right now, btw. She was vaccinated before I adopted her as an adult dog. Now under my care, she will not be receiving anymore, that's for sure.
We adopted our cat...the neighbors left him. He will never get any vaccines!

Nice. They eagerly wait to get in to do their jobs.

Daisy Moses Chief Crackpot--Loved your comment. I wonder how many on Celia's substack know of Dr. Ed Yazbek?
Celia--Creative grumping is good for the soul. Have to learn how to have fun with it.
If we replaced medical labs with medical Labs, we'd have a whole lot more health.
It is worth every minute to me, reading every word. Thank you for all your writing about "journalism." I find it fascinating.
And I am so thrilled to hear your book is coming out, soon I hope!
You are a very compelling writer; we are blessed to have you "piercing the ostensible." Thank you so, so much, Celia.
Sorry, the phrase i misremembered that your father coined is "penetrate the ostensible."

A Xmas greeting and HNY to all..
Greg Maybury--Excellent contribution to the world where truth and integrity matter!
Nah...please don't stop grumping. We may need to go back to printing presses in order to restart literacy in America.
