Little things that irk you 2

[charlesr]

I can't find my bloody wallet and I have a date in less then 2 hours! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!

Tell her immediately. If she's ok with you being penniless, you know she not after your vast fortune.

Aaaaargh, my bloody crazy-arse mum!!!!!!

Her dog's not been well for ages, bad arthritis and a failing liver, though he's managed to make it to 17yrs old. Was having dinner today and the dog wasn't even getting up, I tried to rouse him but he couldn't even f*cking stand up! So she says "he hasn't eaten for a fortnight" and then I just fly off the handle, asking her why she's letting him suffer like this when he's clearly been slowly dying for aaages by the sound of it. She was like this with her cat, it got cancer and she just *waited* for it to die, weeks of agony for that cat, tumours everywhere.

Now, don't think I'm being heartless here, that dog was MY dog, I trained it up, always played with it, often grieved its death in the future, and I just can't bear to see him the way he is now, absolutely no quality of life, just lays there and periodically pukes up mucus, plus he totally stank, too, I even had to clean him up.

So, it's clear she wants to wait for it to die, however long it might take, however agonising that wait might be, and I bollock her about it, MASSIVELY, how she's 'supposed' to be a Christian but she's just keeping the poor bast alive for her own selfishness. Plus, the INDECISION!!!! So, in the end, I *sorta* get through that the best thing would be to have him put down, and as she wants him cremated, too, I ring the vet up and ask how much the needle will cost, how much the cremation will be, and my mum starts butting in as I'm on the phone "they're not taking him, we're bringing the body back, they do experiments" (wtf?!) and she keeps on butting in whilst I'm trying to remain all calm and collected and I just end up shouting "f*ck off, y'weirdo!" (ashamed of that). And once the call's over, she backpedals, starts blubbing and goes a bit psychotic, kind of how he's an old teddy she doesn't want to get rid of. After about an hour, she relents and apologises and agrees (though I *know* what she's really wanting, a drawn-out death so she can get the best 'value' out of him) Anyway, in the end decide the deed will be done tomorrow 'cos it'll be ?400 cheaper (I'll be paying for this, she's still got debts). What a crazy Mother's Day!

Ah, Christ, I said some terrible **** tonite.

I love my mum but she's so f*cking Norman Bates at times (BANGS HEAD AGAINST THE CORNER OF A BUILDING). Bad genes, bad genes, that's why I'm the way I am.

Ah, f*ck, *grieving* massively right now. I'm gonna be PAYING to have my dog killed tomoz, and it alarms me, yet I'm gonna do it regardless, he's clearly far too sick, I pity the man.

I took a feral, wild dog, never hit it, just played with it and looked in its eyes, it started to behave and LOVE, such a great little dog, so f*cking funny and intelligent, for all of its 17 years, RIP Carlin, I am so f*cking gutted about this act, it's unbelievable.

Soz for being so sentimental but you never grieve cats like you do dogs. It's so f*cking awful, I am crying my f*cking eyes out.

But I'll be OK, it'll pass.

It's really hard to get a pet put down, in the end you know it's for the best but it's painful nonetheless.

You are doing the right thing for Carlin, just remember that

Playing SNES UN Squadron and doing pretty well. Went out in the freezing cold to pick up Selphie and now my trigger speed is much lower as a result.

Thanks wicky, 'twas hard but it's done now. Quite surprised at how smooth it was, only took about ten seconds for him to go, it was literally like he just hit the sack after a hard day at work, no whining, yelping, he just looked really peaceful. Everything must come to an end.

Weirdest thing was the bill - ?187. A 187 is the California penal code for homicide, how odd!

[JazzFunk]

PS: also weird is I forgot I posted about the rapper Tim Dog dying...then my actual dog dies a few days later....!

Ah, well!

[wakka]

F*CK compton. And pet deaths.

[JazzFunk]

^I like that.

[Kieran76]

You have my sympathy. Losing a pet is so hard. We still talk about our old dog and it has been 4 years since we had to have him put down. Me and our lass had a mini wake for him at the pub and did every whiskey in the place.

[charlesr]

How many did they have?

[MisterBubbles]

D.Cameron on TV talking about apprenticeship's, after the tories killed them in the 80's and got the whole country to go to uni and run up massive debts, and now we don't have enough skilled people doing the right jobs, so it laughable.

[nakamura]

So true MB.

Yeah, it's *horrible*...though summat weird just happened. Haven't smoked for a bit but REALLY wanted some tonite, so call my guy. Then, without him knowing at all, guy says out of nowhere he's got a J.R. bitch going for peanuts, unspayed but with all docs (he's got too many dogs). So I buy my mum it and she's now over the moon, and dog is super-cute! Odd day. Think I might have to re-read The Alchemist again!!!

Probably the wrong thing to do, but she seems really f*cking happy right now!

[Kieran76]

It is never wrong to give a dog a loving home. As you can tell, I love dogs.
