Granted: you now have the ability to smell like a dog. However, you are a dog now and your wife gave you to the humane society.
I wish people were more aware of mental illness as a disease. (Really!)
What is that I smell? Oh, its Padre. Gosh, he smells like an old, wet dog that been rolling in a .... that was shot a week ago! Phew!
And Sdh, I wish your wish could be granted. A person I know is so friggin intelligent she could have easily done something truly worthwhile with her life. But sadly, she prefers to use her intelligence to destroy other peoples lives. And I don't mean hurt ... I mean destroy. A terribly sad situation. She's not seen as a
threat to society so I don't suppose she'll ever get help.
Mental illness comes in all kinds of guises and disguises. Some of the homeless we see have had some bad luck, or a drug problem, but there are some who are simply mentally ill. And all we've done as a nation is dump them on the streets to survive the best they can.
I see advertisements on television of little puppies with round, wet eyes and folks soliciting money to take care of them.. and that's okay. But I've never seen an ongoing advertisement soliciting money to help the the mentally ill out on the streets and those are human beings.
Okay. I'm done with my rant. I'd sure like to see your wish granted.
And my wish is .... I wish Padre didn't smell like a dog!
