I tell you, I can't stop.
It may have to do with that I'm off work (mostly) for the summer and I'm bored out of my mind. The dishes are done and I'm caught up with laundry. I've played the hell out of Rimworld that I think I'm actually bored with it. If I had a better computer, I could add some more mods and play it differently and in a more "refreshing" way.
Here's what I've been doing this last day:
I always had to get the kids up and going on Wednesdays during the school year. If we didn't make it there to the school cafeteria, there would be no cinnamon rolls. Nothing like happy kids all sugared up.
I lost Cherry in March. She was a reactive dog with separation anxiety and having tried everything, nothing was working.
My parents bought her a super heavy duty 60 pound crate - the one you can't escape from. I would still come home and she would have moved that crate (even with wheels locked) to the nearest piece of furniture, plant or book and destroy it.
I noticed that after I let her out of the crate that Manny would go in there and lick the floor of her crate. It took me a few days to figure out what was going on. I saw the teeth marks on the bars and realized that Manny was licking up blood from the crate floor from Cherry's mouth from chewing on the bars.
Trazadone worked but only for about 3 hours. I work 8 hours of the day so that wasn't going to work and Prozac just made her shake. Of course I had worked with Jay years previously for training.
She had also learned to unlock and open the sliding glass door and let herself out. Remember she was always a fence jumper, too.
The day I made the decision to put her down was after a huge fight between her and Shannon. I just couldn't do it anymore but didn't realize it until I called my mom. My mom gently suggested I put her down because I have been trying to make it work for years. Cherry was 11 and I had her for about 8 years.
Of course there is so much more to Cherry's story than just a few paragraphs but I just don't feel like writing about it.
The paper is BasicGrey Sultry and the stamps are Technique Tuesday.
Somewhere in this picture is baby Blake hiding behind the toys. The kids thought it would be funny to add all his toys to his carrier to keep him super occupied.
This page is made from mostly scraps from stuff sitting around my desk. I'm not very happy with the title. I don't think I like the font. But, you win some you lose some and this is just going to stay the way it is.
