    I speak to my dog in complete sentences which was a mistake because now she knows every synonym for park, walk, treats, and any time we’re referring to her even if we just say ‘her,’ ‘it,’ or ‘the hound.’ She even learned that any time we spell a word it’s related to something she likes and she goes bonkers.








  • Being intelligent and aware of everything and then having that intelligence slowly taken away from you, feeling your mental capacity diminishing day by day while still having the awareness that it’s happening, it’s pretty heavy stuff. It really brings to mind my grandmother’s decline after she got Alzheimer’s, she was slowly losing herself and for a long time she knew it was happening and it was painful to watch, not to mention how brutal it must have been to experience it.

    Flowers for Algernon is an amazing story, but it hits pretty hard after watching it in real life.
