The Venting Thread

so sorry to hear about Backup and Arnold--my thoughts are with you.

I'm sorry, Adrianne. I don't know what else to say.

I am so incredibly sorry to here about your loss Adrianne. I cannot imagine the horror at coming home to that--nobody should ever have to go through this. To be so responsible and so dedicated to your dogs and then to have this happen--it's just so freaking unfair.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, and plenty of vibes sent that Shamoo can get her clearance to fly with you.

I know I haven't posted here in eternity, and I don't know Adrianne or Denis, but reading about Backup and Arnold has me in tears. I've still lurked from time to time, and I always got such a smile out of watching Backup and Sloan go crazy in the pool, or just reading stories about all of them. My heart aches for what they are going through. Having just lost Hannah, I thought I couldn't feel a greater loss, but I can't even begin to process how Adrianne and Denis must feel having lost two at once, and in such a way. My heart truly goes out to you both. I'm so, SO, sorry. I just don't even know what to say.

Ohh Adrianne, I'm not quite sure what to say, sorry for your loss just doesn't seem enough. Other than to send you guys TONS and I mean tons of HUGS.

I'm sorry Adrianne about backup & Arnold, I have lost a good good furry friend suddenly after an accident & I know how you feel, vibes to you & your family

I am honestly still reeling from what happened to Adrianne and her boys. I cannot even begin to imagine how she feels.

Some people can barely remember to bring their dogs in from the yard on a cold night, and their dogs will live to ripe old ages. I know that life isn't fair and that's just not how things work, but I'm struggling to understand why someone so good can do everything right and still suffer something so awful.

I really wish there were better words than "I'm so sorry."

Not sure what to say either. I will donate what I can to make the experience less horrible. I am so very sorry.

Another morning started in tears, an escape from this disgusting and broken house, return only lends itself to tears and crashing onto the floor. This cannot be happening.

Thank you all, I want to leave, I want to get to Alaska, I want to hide, but I can barely be here to clean up and pack. I keep finding blood we missed.

It's so quiet here.

I'm so sorry. So very, very sorry.

My prayers are with y'all during this time.

Hugs, I wish I was closer, I would do the ckeaningso you would nothave to. Hugs

I wish we were closer so there was more we could do to help.

I am so sorry for what you are going through, I have tears in my eyes as I remember the pain when I had to clean Izze's blood off the back seat of my truck after I rushed her to the vet ... Thank god for leather seats or I don't think I could have lived with a blood stain as a constant reminder .

At least you are moving far far away & can start Anew (I hope),it is said that god never gives us more then we can handle ... But, that doesn't make hard/bad times suck any less.

My vent for today: one of our grooms didn't show up to run the horses in his care last nigh & didn't show up this morning so we are a man down, my good good pony horse has an old tendon injury that has decided to flare up, & one of the horses kicked me in the leg this morning! Thank god he was only kicking at a horse fly or else he would have prolly broken my leg.

What's with all the bad luck lately?

Emily, you are so right. A member on the horse forum I go on lost her mare, whom they had for twenty three years, during the delivery and there was nothing they could do... as c-sections are difficult with horses and the vet wouldn't have had time. As I told that person, the worst things happen to those with the best intentions.

Still in such shock over this... I always loved seeing new Back Up videos and pictures, as he seemed to always have a smile on his face.

I am still in shock as well.

Wish I could reach through the screen and give you guys a big old hug. Y'all have been on my mind a lot the past two days.

*Hugs* I tear up with every picture of Backup & Arnold being shared on FB.


In other news....Almost came to blows with my husband and his mother over their narrow (and different) opinions on things I care deeply about yesterday. Glad my MIL left for Ohio this morning, unfortunately the husband is still here.

Its not a big vent, but here is the only place I can say it. My best friend is starting to bug me. All I hear about is how she is tired of working every weekend. Because she is scheduled to come in an extra day. I keep telling her she is talking to the wrong person, cause I work every weekend. I don't get 2 of the 3 days off. And I only get to spend 1 day every 2 weeks with my husband if I am lucky.
And on a side note Peewee didn't eat again last night. I'm **** tired of the fireworks going off.
Time to go to work again.

Oh Adrianne, I wish I could take this all away. I'm so sorry. Every time I see you post I want to just wrap my arms around you. They were such good boys.

This, really. I have no words for how sorry I am. Those two touched so many peoples lives, and it's sent a huge ripple through every dog community and then some.

As long as they are remembered, those who have died never truly leave us.

Adrianne, I can't tell you how much it saddened me to hear what happened. I know there's not much I can do for you, but I'm keeping you guys in my thoughts.




And my small vent of the day, When taking a break from jogging at the water station along the trail. David dropped Talon's leash on accident just when a bike came around the corner and the herder bratt decided to run for it. He went to sniff the wheel but instead it burned his nose and he reeled around just to hit his butt against the wheel pretty hard. Luckily the guy on the bike stayed upright, I yelled profuse apologize as they zoomed by (not that they cared about my apologies I'm sure) and Talon was ok. Scared him a bit, terrified me, and the entire time coming home all he wanted to do was eat the bikes >_< Now we have a new thing to work on. gargh
