**THE UNTAMED SPOILER**
This was all very upsetting and terrible to read and then watch, but I couldn't stop whispering "you don't know who donated the golden core??" to myself the whole time.
Stop! Don't look at that damned dog yet. Look at me.
This is not a feel-good story. Turn back now and go look at some cute pupper gifs instead. You'll thank yourself later, trust me.
I mean it! Get outta here while you can!
I saw this book at a Goodwill just now. The cover was cool to the touch, like a Kong chew toy straight from the grave. It smelled vaguely of brimstone and, well, Goodwills.
I now need you to look directly into Benji's glazed, pooling eyes... frozen, dark, and deep... not even a single ripple of traceable emotion:
This is the haunting, thousand yard stare of a lowly creature that is somehow cosmically aware of all the other "Benjis" that came before. Generations of Benjis since 1974 that all lived their full (yet diminutive) celebrity pet lives. All in a line, like furry little dominos.
Media sweethearts one moment, then disappearing briskly into the night like a Scholastic Book Fair the next.
And this Benji. It knows that it is next.
It is the current Benji. But there will be more Benjis. So many more Benjis. Perhaps an unlimited amount of Benjis stretching distorted into the stark, stark canine future.
Oh, fuck, dear reader. I just looked at the copyright for this book...
... this is no longer the current Benji.
...
......
............ Aw, come on. Don't look at me like that. Here, let's heal that right up with a cute Benji gif. Who's this, now? Is that Benji the 6th I spot there? Who's a Good boy?! Yes, you arrrrre!
Noo my baby, my pet project, my most loved, nostalgic WIP... never abandoned, only I started writing in english for TKH and lost the ability to write good in italian😢
With immense pain we had to put our beloved fur-baby of 12 years down last week, Soul Dartanian💚
He experience a hernia rupture that flooded the left side of his lungs and body, it was to late to help. There wasn’t a way of us even knowing he had a hernia since he never showed signs of anything wrong with him, ever.
This is the most unexpected and tragic thing for me as he was there for so long, back when I had nothing and no one. He was my first son, familiar, best friend, an extension of me. Words don’t express the sadness that comes with death, but I know he is still right beside us guarding from the other world, my guardian✨
Due to having to take him to the emergency vet, the bill was quite heavy and it’s been difficult juggling it all. I have put our Etsy shop on a 20% discount for the time being to help our items find their forever homes and help us to support the extra vet costs🙏
You can visit our shop here 🌿
Thank you for your time and love, may it return tenfold💚
This is a very sad story and I hope she turns up okay, but the comments on Facebook are really frustrating me.
She photographed "lost soldiers" and she said it made her emotional so she pulled over to the side of the road to process it and cry.
Which seems like a perfectly normal reaction to a sad experience.
But the comments on Facebook are all saying she was "mentally unstable" and "troubled." Even Petapixel says she was "in distress."
She was crying after a sad thing! That's normal! There is absolutely no indication of her overall mental wellbeing. Perhaps she was struggling. Or maybe photographing people with a heartbreaking story takes a little processing. She seemed pretty lucid and polite when the cop checked on her. I could hear no distress in her voice.
I swear, some people must bottle things up to a scary degree. They've never heard of someone crying in their car before?
In any case, there is not enough information to determine her mental state. And assuming mental health is the reason she has disappeared is premature.
