There goes another weekend chat

Barb - make him move out of the bedroom  . . . why should you sleep on the couch or in the guest room when he's the one who did the disrespecting.  Might give him a little more incentive to think about his actions.

Hoping all the ailing doglets are doing okay this morning. Lots of good healthy thoughts.

Rascal has been FRANTICALLY biting as his tail/butt these last 3 days, so I'm taking him in to the vet this afternoon. Fingers crossed it's something simple, like anal glands, and that he gets relief from whatever is bothering him. He also needs more Frontline, and potentially a bordetella if the boarding place requires it... and of course he is required to get his "annual exam," which is just like a regular exam, only more expensive. It will probably be $200+ by the time I'm out of there, even though he's had all his vaccinations etc., and that's for a pretty darn healthy dog with a case of the itchy butts. This is a note for all the lurkers out there: pups sure are expensive! :-p

Barb, I don't know why men say that women are hard to understand.  It's always been the other way around for me.  Men can be so utterly oblivious when they do hurtful things.  Sending you tons of love and comfort vibes. 

on a lighter note - I get a bunch of emails from touchy feely websites in my business email one just had this quote - I could only think of here:

Barb - I'm sorry you're dealing with a rough time. If you need to vent or share, feel free to pm me.

Tina - I'm thinking good thoughts for the kitty. It's especially sad when you realize an animal is better off at a shelter than it was in a home.

Karen - I hope you'll share a ton of pictures of the new bathroom.

I can't believe how fast the weekend flew by. I did get a ton of stuff done at home though and even tackled the huge stack of filing that I've been putting off for way too long. I was enjoying a nice evening sitting outside drinking a glass of wine and chatting on the phone with my girlfriend when Buffy decided to walk around the table and poop about every 2 feet.

Saturday night I locked him out of the bedroom.  He came to the door, tried to open it, found it locked...and said "Really?  You're locking me out of my room"  I didn't respond. 

We have a door that goes into the master bedroom from the back porch...so he went around and used the key to come in.  I said...go find someplace else to sleep.  So, he did.  The couch.  We have a guest room he could have used....but I suppose wanted to be the martyr.  That, or he merely fell asleep watching tv.  More likely.

Our guest bathroom tub/shower is too small for him.  That's where my head was.  I love the big a$$hole and think of him first.  What's wrong with me. 

He's dealing with the repair of my Trailblazer today.  I told him I may just trade it in for a new vehicle.  So, I need to know first how much its going to cost, etc.  Ended up only being $105 to update some programming in the computer system.

As I vent by writing this out and getting it off my chest to you all...I'm softening.  But, he needs to truly understand the severety of the hurt he placed on my heart and soul.  It was one of those life changing, deal breaking kind of hurts.

Men seem to want things like this to disappear and often think they can simply apologize and everyone just moves forward. Nope.  It's not that easy to get over some things.  Time does heal but it takes longer if you believe you're feelings are being discounted.  I prefer to make them bleed a little before applying the bandaid if they're being idiots.   Let him crouch in the guest bathroom.  Hide all the toilet paper too.  Note to men reading: don't mess with Texas women.

Hide all the toilet paper too.

Now thats a good one.  Further...maybe I'll replace it with sandpaper.

  . . . . . . . . and that, my friend, is why you've been married for 30+ years.

I read a quote this weekend that said "marriage is like a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle and the picture is all blue sky"   (((Barb)))

I hope even if you have to spell it out in black and white, that he gets it and makes amends.  I'm really sorry you have been hurt so badly.  I feel sad thinking of you being hurt by the man who is your usual safe haven.  ((hugs))

I'm talking yet another friend through suicidal thoughts, not actions, just thoughts.  It all seems to boil down to feeling alone.  His last serious girlfriend moved on years ago and got married and had a child.  His life hasn't advanced and he's stuck.  I wish everyone had someone, or some people, to SHOW them on a regular basis that they are loved and cherished.

{{{Barb}}}  Go figure where their little pea brains are sometimes...

We got a lot of rain and storms Thurs and Friday.  I have had the windows open and attic fan on since Friday.  Yea!  It has been in the 60 at night, 80's during the day.  It has been a very welcomed break.   So happy to hear that some parts of TX got a little rain.  I still keep trying to blow some your way but guess I am not as full of hot air as some have said, lol.

Hope all the doggies and kitties that are not feeling well have a burst of healing with the promise of cooler weather.

Take care all,

I love this quote!

Barb, you can borrow Cher if you'd like.  She's a nut puncher.  If you close a door & don't want someone to walk in she'll "escort" the person back out for you.

Cher got to see her sister Ruby today.  Rub has some issues that her owner has bustered her hump to fix.  We didn't expect for Rub to ever be safe around other dogs, but she & Cher played for a bit.  I was so happy to see them together!

these two things seem counterproductive

Maybe thats what happens to the logic side of my brain when my heart is broken.

Paige, I'm glad you had such an amazing party. Very sorry to hear about your other friend. I hope he is able to pull through and get help. I agree with your wish - that's one reason I like dogs :)
