This is Billy Bob and the Consortium
Let’s Have a Conversation Today
Puppies, Dogs, Kittens, Cats, What Is Up?
Barb, you got here before Billy Bob this morning. I sure hope he is okay and that he did not get snatched last night. He did not Pete, breathe, he is retrieving treats for us for our talk time. Okay, that is good, it is a warm and fuzzy talk this morning. Not one of those, Pete, please! Oh, yes, we have not had one in a long time.
Morning, everybody, how was the short night for y’all? I had to not sleep so much, but be ready to slide away, the police were seriously doing their job last night. We all had the same journey last night. Officer Tripple is no joke, when he is assigned a task, he does so with great diligence. But at least he does it with no uneven hand toward us, that is better than the former officer who dealt with us, and that is a good thing. I sometimes think he goofs up so that we have that split second to slip away without a question being raised. Me too, but nothing for granted, the new law is the new law.
Alright, snacks, coffee, and get comfortable, Pete has stories to tell this morning, and he probably will make us all mad like he loves to do, but it is a good mad. Thank you, thank you very much, my topic today is one that is near and dear to our hearts but one that makes us question the mindset of those tucked safely into homes. Puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats, can anyone follow me yet? Pete, you need more coffee if you are going to be fussing about the fur population of the homes or streets. No Barb, I am not but I do need more coffee.
We are homeless, we have multiple laws, rules, and regulations passed against us, most of which land us in jail. There are few if any, shelters and fewer still the number of places that will help us get back into a warm, safe, good home, correct? Pete, my boy, where are you going with this mess today, where? Follow me, Frankie, just follow me and see my sideways logic. How many rescue agencies, how many million-dollar ad campaigns, television shows, marathons, walks, and rescue attempts are made for us or on our behalf? Pretty much zero, Pete, where are you going? Why do the furry little ones garner so much attention, money, care, compassion, and concern while we struggle and at times die out here on the streets?
Because they are cute, cuddly, innocent, and unhelpful to help themselves, Pete, people love the innocent victim of man’s meanness. But millions of dollars to keep them alive, fed, well, and safe while a home is found for them? I am just saying, why can’t humans turn some of that kindness to us and maybe we could bring about some of the same results in our own lives also? Pete, not going to happen, we are not cute, cuddly, nor innocent, the world has been trained to believe that we have caused this ourselves and therefore we must fix ourselves. Broke can’t fix broke guys!
So here is the coffee question of the morning: how can we help humans to see us in a different light so that we can get a little bit of that multi-million-dollar of help to turn our lives around? Oh, Pee, there is always a price to pay for the goodies on a beautiful morning, the humans don’t want to help us, they have been trained for too long that we are useless and beyond compassion or help.
Pete, a puppy or a kitten, licks your face, wags its tail, follows you around and does not make a mess after one or two instructions are given, the homeless at large need two to three years to learn that lesson, those humans want quick, cute, easy answers for their compassion moments, for it fades faster than a sunset and often does not rise again for a long time. That is hard when trying to convert puppy and kitten compassion to human compassion.
See here, Pete just coming from one of their great institutions, foster care, they don’t want to help anyone they have decided can help themselves, now that decision may be wrong or right, but they have made it, and you ain’t about to change their stubborn minds. Pups and kittens make no decisions about themselves, but humans they do, and the government assists with that process, daily!
Pete, the homeless are messy, troublesome, problem-causing, frightful to many, and carry baggage and problems that cannot be solved by a pt on the head, and belly rub and America is addicted to quick fixes and fixes that can be bought and that cause the problem to immediately go away and us homeless don’t fill that category. Many of us have been abandoned for too long. America and her addiction to quick fix have allowed her to be trained that homelessness equals failure, fault, and unwillingness to change and thus, no compassion or intervention is due the human.
Okay, everybody, let’s relax, breathe, and drink coffee. That was good, thank you, for proving my point very well. America is fixated on puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs but not humans. She cannot even get foster care right for the most vulnerable of all in this nation, that is a sad statement of truth. So, without major intervention, there will not be an end to homelessness for us, except to massively increase the jail population. Pete, you start our mornings off with such bright and cheery subjects, why do you do this? I love good conversations, a bit of a fight with words, and for us to think, because most of America is not thinking anymore. If she were thinking, she would not be heading down the road of moral decay, socialism and bankruptcy, and that is the quick version.
Now let’s leave everybody with the right impression today. We, the homeless, often have animals with us, they travel with us, and will protect us. They eat with us, and when we get food, they eat first, and they get under our same blanket to stay warm and drink our water before we do, so we are not saying we don’t love animals, we are asking why America is addicted to animals over humans. The ingrained mindsets and thought patterns have allowed Americans to spend millions on the fur balls and at the same time fuss over giving a dollar to a homeless person.
This is simply the Homeless Consortium, and we are just trying to stir you up a little bit to get you thinking and moving along in breaking mindsets that have been implanted over years and years of false news and false information. But I ramble on too long, please forgive a tired old homeless dude, have a blessed and peaceful day.
Oh, yeah, one last comment, one last nugget, before you finish your coffee, America, fur family members are not disposable, throw away family when you’re done with them, out they go. That is, after all, why we have fur balls with us; you threw them away, why?
