What Are You Thinking? Continued 5

I remember teasing a friend when she got her puppy neutered - I told her it might have been her dog’s dream to be father. She didn’t appreciate my humour

The husky my sister-in-law has is a beautiful one, including the cold as ice white eyes. Not grey, white. His coloring is magnificent too. He was a rescue used only for the sole purpose of breeding before. He was treated harshly. I do believe he was badly beaten, also barely fed. He was so emaciated, he looked like a skeleton of a dog. He was neutered at the dog shelter. One day before he was supposed to be euthanized, my sister-in-law was called to adopt him. Now he's so spoiled rotten (I have a hand in it) that when I visit, I bring a piece of cooked meat for him to eat. He's back at regular weight and has the handsomest coat of black, grey and white mixture.

Thank you for the well wishes. If only chocolate fixed my troubles. They would be small and most likely not spoken.

Side note: if anyone knows how to reset the dictionary on a iPhone let me know. This thing is driving me crazy!

Settings-Keyboard-Autocorrect-Off

that will kill the “predictive typing” and automatic changes. you’ll still get options to select from, but whatever you type will be what appears in you message/post/etc.

Well, you know, it's necessary, I suppose, but it seems terribly rude to me. What exactly makes me a superior species that can dictate to others? Dogs aren't generating much pollution; what gives me the right to prevent them from populating the earth? It would probably be better off if they were in charge.

Things aren’t okay at the moment, but I’m trying so hard to focus on the positive, to look at the things I’ve been learning and achieving in my DIY endeavours. But I know the minute I get into conversation with anyone who scratches the surface it will cause the whole facade to crumble. So I isolate myself. During the time I just need a big fucking hug and for someone to tell me “hey, you know what? You do matter, keep on going”

I’m such a fucking loser.

I’m not after anything from anyone, just needed to throw my thoughts out into the world, to admit somewhere that things aren’t okay right now, and to offer some explanation to those who aren’t getting replies from me.

You’re not a loser, you are just human, with emotions and feelings. Sometimes those get so intense we just need to focus on us and getting through. This too will pass, you just need to remember you are worth it, if for no one else but yourself.

Hey, Joe

I agree. We've fucked the place up right royally.

Dogs get picked up by shelters and are euthanized because no one wants them.

Thinking about why I continue to try, knowing nothing will change

I have saved the ones I could. But I have a feeling that one day my children will secretly want to put me in a shelter and have me euthanized. What goes around comes around.

Nope, don't think so. Murdering humans is a heinous crime.

Then I guess I'll just have to do it myself, dammit. I do not wish to be an inconvenience in my old age.

 

[Joe_Bob_Gautama]

I agree. We've fucked the place up right royally.

I debate with myself about telling my children not to have children because the world is about to really suck. But then I see a beautiful baby and my heart melts. Mixed feelings.

And we are in charge. They are domesticated and rely on us.

And we rely on them. That's why we turned wolves into dogs. Though I often walk a neighbor's Shih Tzu who clearly thinks she is queen of all she surveys. I think Shih Tzus were a mistake in the domestication process. Can't hunt, can't pull a sled. Why did someone invent them?

 

[blade_rocknut]

Time to get moving...

 

[JustAnotherFlower]

I can't remember the nightmare that startled me awake early tthis morning (it's probably for the best). But I woke crying out with tears running down my face. What the hell?

Hoping you took any eyeliner and mascara off before bed, lest you become frightened at this morning's visage.

Kidding, of course. Bad dreams suck schvetty balls.

Euthanasia isn’t murder.

 

[misterman88]

I don't know if my quality of life is going to improve

 

[barefootgirl69]

How can you say that?

 

[Leigh81]

Noooooooooooooooo

Potential significant snowfall on Monday

Black sheep life is not for the faint of heart.

Black sheep life is not for the faint of heart.

Tell me about it.

 

[fsa52]

Tell me about it.

Been there, felt that and vowed not to ever do it to my kids!

 

[EmpressJosephine]

I think I need to get here more often.

 

[MsLead]

Been there, felt that and vowed not to ever do it to my kids!

It's all about breaking the chain of abuse. Because I lead the about face my son has an amazing successful life on the opposite coast and is a great support for me but he can't really understand the shaky base that holds up my life and my family of origin wants nothing to do with me so, the black sheep life of being the table turner is a lonely one full of struggles and I keep reminding myself that I'm the only one strong enough in my family to do it. Not many can...and if you do, there is no safety net.
