Agreed, but there doesn't appear to be a long term solution in place. It's a circular issue.

Agreed, but camping at the state house in winter is also not a long term solution.

We live in the United States which has allowed 1,000,000+ die from a preventable illness in order to make money and boost sales. A country which has bombed the rest of the globe for the last 70 years and displaced/murdered tens of millions. Why do you expect empathy from such a place?

Maybe look up Building Futures. It's not clear what level you're at, but if SluggDaddy's suggestion doesn't work out reach out to Building Futures.

Truth is it’s not any of your business. I’m allowed to have a life if I have a dog.

You could transfer to Glou (literally next door to Tallulah's) for cocktails after - it has a huge patio with heaters!

Reply to comment by Previous_Floor in Dog sitting in Providence by Jule_z9
I adopted my dog when I was staying in Puerto Rico from a woman who didn’t want her anymore. I was in PR because I didn’t want to stay in NYC during the pandemic. Then I moved to RI because my remote job didn’t want me to stay in PR. I couldn’t leave my dog in PR because there like 2 shelter facilities in PR and there are a lot of strays in PR, if I give my dog to someone, she will most likely end up a stray. So I paid about 3k to have my dog shipped to the states. I had to pay 3k because she’s half Pitbull, so no airlines would take her, I had to book carrier that specializes in shipping pit bulls. I’m going away for 2 months because I need to plan my wedding in Domincan Republic which takes place in august. My sitter bailed on me so I ended up paying 7 grand to board and have my dog trained while I’m gone. So before you call anyone irresponsible maybe you should find out what’s going on. Thank you.

Oh whoops, I'm a dumbass. I saw Jake Wasson's name and got distracted 😅
But Joe is such a sweetheart and I miss chatting music with him. I think Button Factory is my favorite song of his

I mentioned electric paisan in my original post, he came into my work one day (at Eastside market) and we were chatting and he mentioned a show he was doing and I ended up going to it, now i see him come into eastside about twice a week and we're always chatting about shows and music. He's a really cool guy. Love his song Steel (Fall Apart)

A lot of places had heaters and spaces that were comfortable in the colder weather. Just asking if there are any that still exist and it looks like I got a few good suggestions here.
