We can actually be sad about more than one thing. And these dogs were not fine. Many of them went into deep depressions and stopped eating. Many developed health problems and cancer just like first responders did. Again, we can be sad about more than one thing at the same time.

Gonna offer some advice. If you’re offering advice to an overwhelmed mom on here and your advice is “find someone to watch the kids so you can…” just don’t. Every mom knows childcare would help. If they haven’t gotten childcare it’s because they don’t have the option.
