Just in case people don’t realise - we have 3 dogs (Sheba the labradoodle is 14, Rosa the cocka and Razzle the border collie are 1) - we got Rosa and Razzle after our darling Molly died at age 3 - a very big hole that needed to be filled (but never will completely) #dogsoftwitter

We have 3 steers who we saved from being slaughtered and they keep getting bigger #hugecoos they are our lawn mowers we have 3 alpacas - two who are real areshats and were like that when we got them (that’s why we took them #longstory ) and 3 goats cause I looooove goats

And a pony who is also an arsehat who is lame if he eats rich pasture which is a difficult to manage but we didn’t want him to end up as dog food (which shouldn’t happen to any horse but happens all the time) Animals keep me sane because you don’t have to speak to them

And they love you unconditionally #animals

I’ve been clinically depressed most of my life plus a type of anxiety which makes me very angry - it’s genetic and I have many relatives with the same inclination - I have good much of the time as I have had good doctors but sometimes it’s best if I stay away from people

I am married to an autistic/adhd man who comes from a long line of autistic people - inventors and creative types who are wonderful - my son is autistic - my daughter might be - all makes them better people - their unique take on life has made me appreciate life more #asd

This makes me the odd one out in my immediate family because I’m not autistic - I’m just nuts (in a good way)
