I'm getting sick, and my client is dicking me around.

...I guess it could be worse.

Yeah, just remove the last word of that first sentence.

Dad's dog is dying.

Mom's dog is probably dying too.

there's nothing worse in the entire world than your dog dying.

maybe, like, 9/11.  but it's close.

My mother lied to me about having my dog put to sleep.  Keep crying, babies.

Yeah, two weekends ago i threw off the ashes of my dog into the air. 

It was a bittersweet occasion, as it was the only time I've seen my direct family in one place in the past four years, despite the three living together out east. 

If anything, the memories from the crazy-ass deathmarches I attempted to put my canine through, and how she one-uped me such as the time I struggled cliffside, then found her at the top munching away on a rabbit she just hunted down, made up the 'sweet' in the bittersweet parts of the mourning.  In fact, that's where we threw the ashes.

I hope you may have those memories with your pets. 

Best wishes there.

This is the third time in my life I've heard someone say that.  :facepalm:



Our cats are older and in poor health. Every day we've got them we are fortunate.

God, that sucks. What breeds and how old?

Mom's is 13, purebred lab, so it's not exactly unexpected.  He apparently got hit by a wave of vertigo the other morning and my stepdad found him collapsed in the snow, suffering from hypothermia (they're in a part of Arizona that has things like snow and hypothermia).  They've been trying to nurse him back to health but it's been more than a week and he still can't walk, so if things don't improve soon, well, that's no way for him to live.

For the first few years of his life, he lived with me and my grandparents in the house where I grew up.

Dad's dog is about half that age and so it's a much bigger shock.  He started walking with a limp a couple of months back; Dad took him in and he was diagnosed with valley fever, so he's been on meds for that.  But it didn't get better, it got worse, to the point that he stopped getting up to come to the door when I'd come by to visit.  Over the last few days a lump started growing at the top of his leg.  Dad took him in to the vet yesterday and they said it's a tumor and he's probably got a month to live.  When I saw him yesterday, it was about the size of an orange.  He can still walk but it's obviously terribly painful for him, and it takes a lot of coaxing even to get him to walk into the next room or out into the backyard.

My grandparents' dog died a few months back.  So this could be all three within the span of a year.  Two, at least, were old, but a giant tumor at the age of six is an especially hard thing to see.

My first dog was an old pit bull I had growing up who eventually had to be put down due to cancer. He spent most of his time drinking pool water (I assume because the chlorination killed the pain or something) or throwing up, towards the end.

Later I had a dog who had puppies, and she decided to hoard them in the darkness under the deck next to the pool. She gave birth to about 15 or so, and I think six or seven wandered half-blind right into the pool and drowned before my father just ripped the wood and concrete away with a sledgehammer/hedgetrimmer combo and rescued the rest. We gave them away outside the grocery store. The mother died of grief not long after.

I don't know if it's because we always adopted older dogs from the pound when I was growing up (meaning we never had a dog from puppyhood to adulthood, and we had a dog die every 4-5 years), or whether it's because my father died when I was three, but the death of a pet has never hit me as hard as I hard as I see it hit others. It's definitely a sad thing, and I miss pets for a good while after they're gone, but I'm clearly not experiencing the same things others are when they lose a pet.

...never actually said what breed the younger dog is.

Half Lab, half Great Pyrenees.  He looks like a giant Lab.

The people who shoved my entire family into poverty and put us through years of hell walked away with no punishment today.

:nyoro~n: Would anyone actually want to talk about that other than to mention that, yes, they were indeed smoldering with barely describable rage?
I mean, what's the etiquette here?


Well fuck. I guess I was supposed to ask. Sorry. I don't know where I got it into my head that maybe you didn't want to talk any more about it.

I'm getting medical benefits through the state soon, so I'm going to see if I can get a therapist.
I destroyed my pillow and screamed my throat raw a few hours after learning it. I just....god damn. So much goddamn shit poured all over us and then they just skip away.

Mom's dog is probably dying too.

It turns out he was.

While this is far and away the worst thing that happened today, it's been a pretty crummy day overall and is shaping up to be a week for the books.
