Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Met my future dog yesterday.
Long story, but the owner has breast cancer and needed to find a forever home for a staffy (my dream dog).
Spent about 2 hours with him yesterday making sure he’d be happy with me as his human. He’s very shy but we both fell in love.
Meet Adam the new love of my life 😍
LOOK AT THE LITTLE BABY!
My favourite thing is naming pets with human names. Like my cats are Bob and Rosa (Bob was named after Silent Bob but I revoke it and he’s named after Bob the Drag Queen – he was named by my ex-stepdad. Rosa is named after Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99). Can’t wait to name a pet Greg.
I can’t wait to confuse people at work when I complain about him taking a shit on the rug
Eeeeee!!! I accidentally found the cat’s cuddle spot!!! 😻😻😻 it’s much closer to the TV than I would normally sit but I decided to sit there while petting her and she CRAWLED ONTO MY LAP. I nearly died. I didn’t have my phone but when she got up for a bit I grabbed it and sat back down and here she is purring up an absolute storm. She hasn’t cuddled at all the whole 2.5 weeks I’ve been here - I’ll sit here all day long to feel her purring contentedly against me1. Oh please kitty cat don’t let this be a one time thing. We can chill any time. Any time at all. <3
prrrrrrrrrr
Aww so satisfying when they do this! The elation of being chosen! And a beautiful kitty 😍
She’s not at that stage yet. She prefers to stay mostly adjacent. I went to go feed her (I’m guessing this cuddliness was all a ruse…!) and now she’s back to ignoring me from the other side of the house. But if I can be cat trapped by her before I head back home that would be an accomplishment indeed.

Hey just so you know, the image description for vision impaired users was actually already in the alt text of the photo in that comment (which you put in the square brackets when you use markup). That’s how image descriptions are meant to work. If you hover over the photo on desktop or long press to open the image in another tab on a mobile browser you’ll see the description.
Just fyi about accessible tech if you’re going to keep wanting to label peoples photos.
Ok well I use the safari version of Aussie.zone on my phone only, to me it just looks like it’s just the photo of your cat with nothing else. I tried long pressing and it didn’t do anything. Whatever the case, I must be the only person who didn’t realise this and apologise for adding the ID and I promise never to add an ID to any future image from anyone :) thanks for letting me know
Yum. I think I’m going to go and start my own dinner now, you made me hungry.
Tomorrow marks a week since I moved into the new place. I’m feeling so much better, and feel like I’m in a much more healthy place mentally than I was in the last place. And honestly, a lot of it is just the little things, like being home alone, and having access to knives, and administering my own medication
It’s already started! That European festival thing I decided to give a go, I wouldn’t normally do because of all my people anxiety. Who coulda thunk that healthy environments make healthy minds?
That’s fantastic. The environment of the last place didn’t sound healthy for anyone
Awesome! 💯 So glad to hear it’s all happening for you after your hospital trip and all that stuff last week.
Things are looking brighter for you everyday! You got this! You deserve only good things 💜💜
