I do believe I should be at home hidden from society today. Everything is irritating me. It does not help that my husband and I work together and he is the biggest irritant right now.

Can't I just go home and play with my dogs and chickens?

lol Christina. I feel your pain!

It's early in the process, but a family that used to foster and rehab Pitties for MARS is very interested in Lucy. I hope to set something up over the weekend so she can meet their pack.
I hope it works out for her, she's really deserves a great home.

I just...I don't really know what to say on this one. I don't know if I should be impressed, or terrified, haha.

I LOVE Mpix!!

Amazing what people can do these days.

Alright guys, help me brainstorm...

I found out Jereme LOVED whales as a kid. I also want to sort of go the fun/nostalgic/toys/games route. I found beautiful whale tale cuff links but I think I'm going to give him those for our vow renewal.

He is also a history buff (history games?), into big machinery (RC excavators?), and was really enamored with snorkeling/coral reef life.

I was sort of thinking of maybe having a wooden "Gee Family Farm" sign made, like we were planning on for the NH property. Just as a reminder of what the future still holds.

Ugh, usually I'm SO good at this. I hate commercialism and buying stuff for the sake of buying stuff, but I LOVE finding/making something really meaningful for people. Especially in times like this, when I want to do something really nice for him to remind him how awesome he is, since he forgets lately.

Gosh, I'm feeling so discouraged about Frag this evening. Since I've been dating Brian, Frag has gone back and forth between living with me and my ex, his true owner. We still don't have permanent living situations for him. The thing is, he's always been afraid of Brian. Some days he's totally fine and will play and cuddle and lick him, other days for no reason, he'll completely avoid him, run from him in the house if he walks near him (even if Brian is completely ignoring him) and will hide in the corner with his ears pinned back, like tonight; obviously unhappy. My thought is to let my ex and his family keep him permanently and only borrow him for dog events, trials, and fun days at the park or hiking. But that would break my heart so bad, not getting to have him around anymore. He's my heart dog, and this is going to be the toughest decision to make next to a Euthanasia decision. :/ I'm not sure how much help anyone can offer so I'm not necessarily looking for that, just venting. I don't know what to do or how to decide. I'm gonna be a wreck without my main man around.

I'm sorry you have to make this decision. You know whats best for your boy and you'll make the right one.
