Its been too long since I've spent some time with our shelter dog, Moochi...
When we got him he was so stressed that I doubted he'd live, it took a couple of years for him to really believe that he has a real home!
He is getting older now, so actually he feels less of a need to run, although he gets to do that when it rains. I used to take him out quite often late in the evening with me on a motorbike, that was great times hehe...
A couple of years ago I started using Nostr, that was also quite some experience. But soon I realized that the Bitcoin I received in sats was also a problem: since I knew the value of it I had a problem passing it on, and also it was far from enough to actually make a living.
So what to do? I started buying doog food for street dogs that matched the sats I got. Of course then sharing that process was natural, and it turned the whole thing into something that I could really both enjoy & believe in.
The old guy above got some of that food, I was really worried about him since the store he owned the entrance to was closed to be rebuilt. At some point he disappeared, but then one day he was back at an even better spot: the local market!
Also he had a lady who was now taking care of him, including treating his fur and cuts 🙂
I still owe the street dogs around the world ~100 dollars worth, I will follow that up of course. The reasons for that delay are complicated to convey in public, I guess most here will understand.
Now that I've realized that Hive won't yield enough for it to be a source of income on its own its therefore natural to simply continue this project here as well.
Which means that I'll find a way of moving what I earn to street dogs, ideally directly feeding them directly, or donating cash to dog shelters I can check out IRL.
We'll see, at least now its all announced! I will still use Hive and other platforms to build an income if possible, but that will be indirect and in ways that does not interfere with this intention.
That's all!
