@ENKELI Awww how precious!! Wingless Angel is a beautiful nickname to describe him! 😍❤️ and I hope he can live for another 12 years as well 🙏
I don’t have a cat nor a dog but everytime I see pets it makes me happy and it’s one of the best coping strategies to keep me grounded. 😍🫶🏼 animals are the best creatures all around!!

@Blackcloud I had a Border collie several years ago and a friend gave me a fridge magnet with a Border on it that said "May I be the person my dog thinks I am."
As an animal lover you are a decent person in my eyes!

@ENKELI Thankyou for your response in regards to my earlier post from yesterday.
I did respond earlier to your initial reply but it got deleted so I’m gonna try respond in a way that fits the guidelines.
I had a consumer/client that was in a distressing situation. they’ve stated that they wanted help not sympathy a little after I told them I was sorry they went through that, because they said that me being sorry doesn’t help. Me doing my role, I understand everyone has different needs and I try to do so and be accepting of it. However, it was the way this client delivered such things that got me p!ssed off (not that they were necessarily being ‘abusive’ but..)
anyway, after that, I got into some conflict with the supervisor cause I chose to end the interaction with that client (for my own comfort) instead of following what the supervisor told me to continue telling the client with — FYI, the client was just being more direct and honest judging my overall responses to them (aka expressing their opinion) but I felt uncomfortable throughout the whole interaction with the client cause I was scared they were gonna later on start being abusive

@Blackcloud I do love wet weather, when I am inside and dry. Or at least undercover and not getting saturated. Lol
