On this channel, we post our beloved pets, fosters, pets of family members, and even wildlife shouting “go pods.” These animals, these pets, are members of our collective community. So when we lose a member of this community, one of our precious pets, we often grieve as a community. I’ve seen the recent pet loss guys. I just want you, and everyone who has ever lost, and will someday lose a pet to know, we’re here for you. We’re here for each other. </p> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Main Topic</h1> <p>Links and stuff</p> <p><a href="http://gregorygeiger.com">GregoryGeiger.com</a>&#160;</p> <p><a href="http://tryingtodobetter.com">TryingToDoBetter.com</a>&#160;</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-link is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed"> <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://papress.com/products/extra-bold </div> </figure> <p><a href="https://www.bispublishers.com/type-tricks-user-design.html">https://www.bispublishers.com/type-tricks-user-design.html</a>&#160;<a href="https://www.uxdesigninstitute.com/blog/accessible_design-inclusive_design/">https://www.uxdesigninstitute.com/blog/accessible_design-inclusive_design/</a></p>
