I am doing better.
We buried her at my moms house in her garden. Mom is going to plant some nice flowers there. It will be nice. Plus I can go visit when I need to. I did yesterday. People think I am crazy, but this dog was my child. And it hurts still terribly. Yesterday morning I was in my normal routine then I went to the bed to pick up the dog and take her downstairs, only to realize of course that she wasnt there. I sort of lost it at this point, but I am better.
I guess it will just take time. But why on earth do people keep asking me when I am going to get another dog? It makes me angry that they ask me this. I dont want another dog, I want my dog. How will getting a new one ease my pain?
The kitty was being super playful last night. This is the kitty that Schautzie raised. Shes really a puppy. She even eats dog food.
But I had a box with a bunch of crumpled paper inside. So I threw her in thinking it would freak her out. But she sat there and looked around then started rolling around in the paper. Her motor started going nuts she was so happy. So I sat with her for a long time playing with her in the box. I would scratch the outside and she would pounce on it from the inside. It was really fun.
She still misses her mom too I think. I have a stuffed dog that Bryce got me years ago. And I had it next to the bed on the dresser. She was cuddled with it this morning. I think she is confused as to where her mom is. Schautzie would always lay between us in bed at night, and Kefka would lay cuddled up with her mom.

Aww kik, hang in there. I think people keep asking when you are getting another dog, because they dont know what else to say, and most assume that another animal will distract you from your pain, and before you know it...your hooked.
btw PLEASE feed your kitty some CAT food. Cats need taurine, and its not found in doggie food. without it, they can get very sick. They need it for their eyesight, and kidney function. I know its tempting to feed them what the other animals in the house are eating, but its really not good for them.
Its been more than 2 years since I lost MaggieMoon, and sometimes I look and expect to see her. I miss her so much some days. I promise it gets easier. My animals are my children as well. My furry babies. I know you are angry and want to snap at folks, but they just dont know what to say Kik. Hang in there.

I always have cat food for her, but she wont eat it. She thinks its terrible or something. She is not going to have a choice now because, well, I wont be buying dog food anymore.

I hate that question. When are you getting a new cat/dog. It makes the pet seem more like an object than a family member. Something that can be easily replaced, which thay can't be.
SO I went to Zellers today to state my case. I brought all my paper work and I talked to a amanager. She listened pretty well and I said what needed to be said rather well. But when it comes right down to it, I have absolutly no proof that this woman took my money. I did suggest they track the woman down on their computers and talk to her. They did. And they know who it is. She wasn't working today but the manager said that she will be talked to next time she works. And I will get a phone call with the results of the conversation. Right now, that bitch who ripped me off is the only proof of what happened. But only if she fesses up to it. If she doesn't then I will have no choice but to pay the $25. But eitherway, complaints to the big shots of Zellers and HBC will be made.
I'll update the situation once I get a phone call.

I think people keep asking when you are getting another dog, because they dont know what else to say, and most assume that another animal will distract you from your pain, and before you know it...your hooked. THIS is my point. However, it's not that I don't know what to say, that's bullshit. Getting Sugar gave me something else to focus on besides losing Baxter. I absolutely wanted to die when he did, and I seriously contemplated suicide, cuz life sucked then, and I felt he was my only reason for living. He was absolutely my baby, and it was like someone ripped my heart out and stomped on it when I lost him. Granny didn't tell me he passed, even though she knew it. She refused to let me see him, but I forced my way past her, and found him. I knew he was dead, but I just had to see. I will never forget how stiff he was... it was horrible. And even this, was after I got Sugar. I probably would have gone through with it if I didn't have her, Fred, and Granny. My wounds still haven't healed from losing him. However, with Sugar here, and Fred, I don't think about him as much as before... Sugar gave me something new shower with love, and affection. It made ME feel better. That is why people suggest you get a new pet. Only non-pet owners would say it only because they didn't know what else to say.... never mind if you have another pet, like I did. How did Fred feel? He lost his best friend, his mentor, his buddy, and his father figure. I know animals have feelings too, just like I do. That's another reason I got Sugar, he needed a friend, I couldn't leave him alone like that. I will never, ever have just one cat ever again, they need each other. Sorry for the rant, obviously I'm still distressed about it.

I dont think kik was referring to "us" here. I believe he feels safe and secure here, and can share his deepest feelings. I think he was referring to neighbors, co workers, and friends, who stand there and stammer. Steph I know your advice was from the heart and worked miracles in your life. Baxter was a life line for you, and losing him rocked you to your core. Sugar was absolutely a god send, and not for one minute did I mean to belittle your advice. sorry. I hope kik is doing better today.

You guys have been great. I did not mean any of you asking me anything, I just mean the people around me that talk to me on a daily basis. It is a very common question I get and it still hurts me.
Kefka and i played with the box again. She absolutely loves that thing. I dont want to get rid of it now.

Even though Sugar has been great, I'll admit when we first got her I wondered if I had made the wrong decision. She was painfully shy, and we couldn't get her to come out of hiding longer than 1 hour a day, for over a month. She didn't really start showing her true personality until after I moved away from Granny. She just hates Granny for some reason, I have no idea why. She loves everyone else, though. >.>

Well animals can be like humans in that way. Sometimes you meet someone and they just rub you the wrong way. There is nothing wrong with the person really, you just don't connect with them. I believe cats and dogs can have that same reaction. Either with people or each other.

um, granny is rough, LOUD, and aggressive. If I was a cat, I would hide too! She grabs them by the scruff and drags them to her chair. Good lord! I think Sugar like the slower pace of your house.
its HOT here today! hot hot hot! damnit, I hate hot.

This has been the strangest weather year. One day we have a frost, and the next day we have a heat wave. Then we have rain for 5 days, and not normal rain, its that sideways stuff. Then we go back to cold weather. Its crazy! my poor garden is freaking out. The rabbits ate most of my lettuce, and the frost got the rest.
We have a bald eagle visiting the lake. We had a baby moose swimming in it in the summer, and had a bear and 2 cubs this past spring. We have ducks, candadian geese, and tons of wild life happening now on the lake. Even had a red tail hawk visit for a few weeks in the spring. Swooped into my yard, and grab himself a small rabbit for dinner before he left. Lily my cat was freaking out. she wanted to get outside and kick his bahookie. I would like a nice normal spring weather pattern. About 73 degrees, sunny, and a light breeeze please

How the hell are you guys? Huh? SPEAK UP! Same old here. Work, get home, play till bed time then repeat. I have been getting my credit card bill down. The past year or so I've been spending like crazy. Buying things one after another. I finally decided to put my foot down and stop. I was paying it off pretty wqell for the longest time. Then I thought well maybe I can buy myself a few pleasure items now without getting carried away. Which worked but then soon after that I discover I need new socks and shirts. It was poor timing. Having to buy "need" items soon after buying "want" items. My credit card isn't back up to where it was but it put me back up there a bit. Good thing I still live at home or I'd be screwed. Also been getting back into comic books again (I'm such a child). I love me some SpiderMan and X-Men. I usually stop reading when winter comes around cause the comic shop is pretty far and bussing it there in the freezing weather sucks. Plus I don't drive. But now that the sun is out again going to the shop is easier and more enjoyable so I've been getting back into it. Its amazing how many changes can happen in the story line in just a few shorth months. I was totally lost at first but I get whats going on now. Also, I had to pay Zellers the money that was on my Master Card. When it comes right down to it there is no proof that I got screwed over and the woman never admited to stealing my money. I paid them but I also filed a complaint to their head office. Nothing will happen with it obviously but atleast I said something.

Well let's see. Mark went and bought a PS3 so we've completed the seventh generation systems now and so he's been playing Valkyria (sp) Chronicles and I've been trying to catch up on my sleep during that. I worked pretty much 12 days in a row the last two weeks and I haven't really recovered yet. >.>
I get to do inventory next week... 6am to 3pm...joyness. And then another 8-5 the next day for MORE inventory. -.-b Next weekend is my one friend's wedding that I'm not looking forward to for two reasons: 1) purple tux and 2) I'm not sure I'm in support of this marriage. I don't like him. <_<
Ben graduated from dental school last month so he's now Dr. Ben which is just plain WEIRD to say...makes me feel strange having a doctor friend.
Been trying to save money and my computer and JCP card are now completely paid off so now I gotta just work on my student loans, cell phone (which will be dropped in october) and damn car. The loan will get better soon because I've almost got one paid off. I'm hoping to save up $3k so I can get the hell out of here already but it's just taking longer than I hoped.

Time for a rant!
OMFG, I HATE CELLPHONES! You can't go out with a friend without them ignoring you every 5 minutes to check their text messages or answer a call. You can't go to a damn movie theatre without seeing little lights flashing through the darkness. They tell you to turn cellphones off during a movie. That SHOULD mean more than just the ringer. You can't go on the road without seeing some careless retard driving while talking.
Usless technology! Dispose of it.
