He seems to be recovering, at least from more acute phase of his illness ... He is much slower and may be he will remain like this for rest of his life, yet he basically acts like before, with same preferences, for example tearing apart something just behind me (he has special things to tear apart, from me ..). No juping into bed or over barriers (or into armchair) - but still definitely my dog. Waiting ....

Right now he mostly want to do same stuff as before - walking around timely, piss over other dog's marks, dig out anything edible from under the snow .. even if less energetically.
But he might not live into 2019 ..... And obviously, he requires more attention than before.

At least when it more closely related to reality than false lights ...

Sure, there are some objective factors in probably all civilizations we can imagine now - but why all their lines must repeat same mistakes as humans did?! It seems to be part of problem: if humans can't even *imagine* something different-good - this different-good will never come on its own,

I know, this is very unpopular idea among humans, writers or otherwise. But I come to conclusions something is really wrong about this human-dominated world, because humans today, like few thousands years ago, when they first started to realize (some of them) they can't properly resist their own wrongs, still can't! They can't even recognize something wrong about to be done by humans 'like them', and even less can do something effective about this! Thus stories with assumption

Well, I don't have much to say, just saw this stereotypical message about 'personal growth' on FB and wanted to say it probably tragically incomplete: it must say 'personal growth in interpersonal relations [where non-humans are persons too], and understanding of subtle stuff", because humans quite bad at this, yet it makes all the difference between good and bad, love and .. un-love, real and fake.
