Join me for a drink?

[BlondGirl]

Something horrible happened in my life yesterday and I am trying to drink my sorrows away--anybody wanna join me for one?

It is Skyy vodka mixed with frozen Bacardi Daiquiri and yery yummy and contains about 900 calories in the pitcher and I need to share some of those pre-fat calories with someone. Anyone want a glass?

MMmmmmmm..........

I Hope All Is Well In The Morning, But

For Now, I Would LOVE Ta Have ONE Drink With You

Can I Have Mine In A Giant Brandy Glass?

 

[morninggirl5]

I'd love to share a drink with you Blondgirl.

And my shoulder is here if you need to borrow it.

 

[Starfish]

I don't drink, but I hope that everything is okay.

*Hugs*

BlondGirl

*Hugs ya* Don't drink either, but I too hope things get better for you soon.

 

[BlondGirl]

Thanks--i would love to get this off my shoulders.

WARNING--it is awful and is about my sweet Piglet-doggy.





You were warned



I felt bad all day yesterday--left early and went straight home--to find my sweet ADD dog dead--he had strangled himself in a power cord that I had hanging on the fence. It was obviously not a quick death but one that took a long time and that lad him in terror for a long time before dying (obvious from the layers that he had chewed through--how he got so tangled up with the cord still tangled on the fence is a mystery to me).

It was awful and took forever to remove his body from that--of course, by the time I found him, he was stiff and very difficult to hold up.

It was horrible.

My other dog whimpered and barked and yelped all night--he has not been alone for 3 years.

I feel very guilty (even though I knwo damned good and well I did not intentionally cause it but it still was directly related to my action of hanging the cord).

Sorry--I know this is awful--I am frusterated and saddened and am going to go have another drink.

I have a whole bottle so there is plenty for everyone! (I have anotehr botle out in the truck too so I doubt the well will go dry.)

 

[BlondGirl]

Damn--and I am eating a bag od cheetos with my drink and keep forgetting every once in a while and calling to offer him one--shit.

not the worst crisis in the world but it is no less saddening to me nonetheless.

 

[teresafannin]

I am so sorry about your dog. Pets are family & it is horrible to lose one. Take care, Teresa

 

[Starfish]

OMG! I am soo sorry for you, that is horrifying.


Lord, just oh lord! I wish I could hug you right now. I am so sorry you had to bare that.


Go ahead and do whatever you need. You can yell at us, or throw shit, or whatever.

I am truely sorry for you.

*More hugs* I have an aunt that lost two dogs of her own like that in the past. I'm very sorry to hear about this. It was hard for her as I'm sure it must be for you.

Something like that won't be easy to get over, but I wish you nothing but the best. Time can help heal all wounds. *Hugs*

 

[BlondGirl]

Thank you to each of you. It does help to have the encouragement.

I spent a lot of time protecting that dog from himself and often felt guilty that i have a small house and smaller yard for him. (My other dog is comepletely different from the Pig.) It had to happen sooner or later--but it is still difficult--I appreciate the support.

My son is away at camp this week--in some ways it makes it better, in others it makes it worse.

But--I am glad that I chose to have a letter sent instead of a phonecall from my son. One of his friends came over today and asked where Pig was--it took everythign to keep from crying. I did not realize how attached I was to that damned dog.

Time for another round?

not the worst crisis in the world but it is no less saddening to me nonetheless.

um.... don't get me wrong but...... Yes It Is... right now, for you, it IS the worst crisis in the Whole World.

if i could streatch my arms out long enough i'd give both of you a nice long warm Hug...

 

[Guest]

my condolences also

BlondGirl,

That just read so awful and I am sorry to see such bad news. I agree there are worse things, but that does little to comfort a loss.

Oddly, my pets are burried in my parents back yard and they are still brought food out dialy even after years later. It's odd, but the custom is that the spirit does not die. but it is within you and that is where you pet is-in your heart...

 

[Neale]

I'll drink with you, and toast your loved one's memory...

And celebrate the love you shared!

*hugs*

 

[BlondGirl]

I am planning to make a donation to the animal shelter in memory of my sweet Pig-dog. I was debating about a cash gift versus going to the store and picking out items--

For my son, who did not get to see the body (an important part of accepting a loss by death for both humans and animals--it prevents that believe that you were lied to and the loved one may re-appear) since he is away at camp, I am leaning toward going to take the time to shop for that dog's fave things to donate. Cookies and dog food and such. (And cat foods since the dog lived to eat the catfood! And the cat! SHE is not mourning his loss!!!!!!!!)

Has anyone worked or volunteered in an animal shelter and have suggestions on needed items?

 

[Sigil]

Can't help you with the animal shelter question, but I'll add my condolences to the others'.

Truly sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[Nathon_88]

May you always have treasured memories.

...*sighs*.

Where the heck is my bottle of scotch when I need a shot....oh yeah...upstairs.....Skall!

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read."

Hopefully, you can get a little, tiny chuckle out of that. Otherwise, I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.

 

[Guest]

just wondering

BlondGirl, I was just wondering how you were doing and if things were okay with the other pup?

 

[BlondGirl]

Thank you for asking. We are doing well. My son came home from camp today and I told him in the truck on the way home. He did well. I told him to think about the things he wants to buy in memory of the Pig for the animal shelter.

Our other dog (Stubby) got an ear hematoma 2 days ago. We went to the vet tonight and she said that when a dog shakes its head hard enough to burst blood vessels that swell the ear up like a balloon, that the ear infection is the thing to worry about--not the hanging part. (Is that the pinna?)

He has a yeast infection in his ears--this is new to me--never heard of that. She told me to us a 50/50 water vineger solution for rinsing his ears as well as my own to cut down on infections since that would kill most of the ear cooties. He has some special drops that he just LOVES to have me hold him down and apply.

With the Pig, we knew eventually that stupid dog would do himself in. My son did not even ask how--he knows from past history that the dog did something stupid to himself again and this time did not get rescued. Now that a few days have passed, and I have had more time for restrospective thought, I feel less guilty about his death.
LOL--it is a wonder I did not kill him myself during one of his bouts of excessive stupidity. He knocked me in the face once with the top of his head causing me to blackout. I was bending over to pick up the food bowl and my son was at the top of the steps watching me. Boom! Did not phase the dog a single bit.
Poor thing. He probably lived longer with us than anyone else would have tolerated!

Thank you again to everyone who was so supposrtive this week during my grieving. I appreciate it mucho.

 

[stogie]

That's the saddest thing I have heard in a while...screw the Daiquiris I got limes and tequilla...let's start shootn'. 'holding up a shot'...here's to feeling better...yumm.
