Of all the photos that have come out of Ukraine in the past two weeks, it's the one most heart-wrenching to me. The photo that says it all about what that evil bastitch Vladimir Putin has done to that country.
I came across it on Facebook. On one of the many dachshund-related groups that I'm a member of there. It was a few days ago. And I've been thinking about it a lot.
It's a photo of a Ukrainian woman, fleeing the destruction. In her arms, she is holding her dachshund. Keeping it safe amid the turmoil.
I saw that photo and it damn nearly broke me.
I have a dachshund also. Her name is Tammy. She turns ten years old one month from today. She and I have been through a lot together. We look after each other. She's been there for me through a lot that's happened in my life. And in return, I like to believe that I've given her a good life. I'm hoping that we have many more years together (dachshunds can sometimes live to be twenty, maybe a bit more). Tammy sleeps in the bed next to me every night. We curl up together. I can't imagine my life without her, and I know that one day I'm going to hurt very much when she is no longer with me.
I saw the picture of that Ukrainian woman and her dachshund, and it broke my heart.
Why is this war happening?
I don't agree with Lindsey Graham on everything but he's right. Someone in Russia needs to KILL Putin. Needs to blow him away or slip some polonium into his salad or whatever. He is a madman. A lunatic who God only knows what he's going to do with his hand over the button that could launch three thousand nukes at the civilized world.
I don't know much. But I know this:
In Ukraine, tonight, a woman is desperately holding onto her dachshund.
And it pisses me off, what has happened to her and her country.
