I had a super delicious nectarine this morning. My sweet dog almost died in April but now he is doing great and will turn 13 in a few weeks. He’s the absolute best

I am fully aware the world is awful, and we should be paying attention. But my feed on here is *absolutely* demoralizing. Anyone care to drop their good news below? Small or big. It doesn’t erase the bad, but I know there’s good people out there doing good things in the midst of this mess.
