suz. asks, what do you do if people wanna hug him?. that's tricky, i haven't prevented all contact. i think mental health has to be taken care of too. most people who don't know him don't touch him, though they may wanna, and people ask me sometimes if they can. i think it's impossible to be safe in this mad-made world, we just hafta be vigilant and careful to a whatever degree, while still getting about with the business of living. anyhoo i cant imagine him as a vector, he's a dog. some beings have to be free of our disease.
