The Venting Thread

[Dogdragoness]

Really, you are such a jerk. Didn't Frag live with your ex for awhile? Wouldn't that constitute getting rid of him even if it was a couple weeks?

I NEED a dog. You might not understand that, but my friends do.

To be a snarky bitch, do you Need a business whose name is plagiarized from a well known copyrighted entity?

THIS

@DJEtzel I do not do serious dog sports. I will not pretend to know what kind of dog it takes to do serious dog sports.

This dog is not being dumped at a shelter or pound to add to the number of unwanted animals, as Adrianne said, he is being responsibly & carefully rehomed ... RE-HOMED ... Responsibly.

You & I both do not to the level of sport Falon & some others do with their dogs, so I don't sit there & pretend to know what the hell I am talking about ... & I'm sorry but neither should you.

He is being stationed in San Diego.
Have spent a greater part of the day laying in bed crying.

He was supposed to go to DC or virginia.. we were supposed to have weekends and be able to drive to see each other and now that's all ruined

It's closer than Japan but it's still so far.

I don't want to deal with this, I wish I didn't love him.. but I do. I know he's the one for me so I just have to deal with it but I just wish I didn't have to.

I want so badly for normalcy this wasn't in my life plans. Dealing with all of this just hurts and it sucks and I NEVER wanted it. This whole life of deployments and secrets and 5 minute phone calls and skype dates I just never wanted it.

He loves his job. So much of who he is I have to thank his job for kind of molding him into that which is great. I love him.

I just.. want him to be around.

Oh no Stupid monitor!

I am so sorry, Fran! Your post really hit a nerve.... I felt the exact way about Dan and his enlistment. The good news, the world can be yours... You are young and once you have finished school (or maybe you could transfer?) you can move near him! Depending on what rank he is, chances are good they'll let him move out in town and you can live together

I'm sorry Fran that sucks.

Maybe you could save up for a trip & go down to visit him this winter?

How long have you been dating? That really stinks he's moving away ..a lot of people do something similar here. A lot of people work out west& have schedules of 3wks on/ 1 wk off. My boyfriend did it for 9 months and it sucked.
Bright side? Internet! It still sucks but it's nice to be able to talk almost face-to-face with just a monitor between you both.

I am awesome... I left my lunch AND my debit card at home today. Jon got called in early so there's no food for me. Thankfully I only have one dog left to groom and I'm out of here. She's one of my favorites and I love her owner, but that's about the only plus today.

I do get the confusion over someone letting a dog go that they really care for because it can't do a sport. I had very high hopes for Jack and was crushed when he was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. I was going to do All The Things with this dog. However, life had other plans--we got him surgery, got him PT, got him supplements, and he still goes to swim therapy weekly. It was frustrating and heartbreaking, especially considering having 3 dogs was not really in the cards.

Honestly, I never once thought of giving him back--he's my boy, he has taught me a lot, and he gets along very well with Sally, which is quite a feat. I don't feel this way because I'm an "idealist furmommy," this is just my reality when it comes to my dogs.

That having been said, I know that just because it's *my* reality doesn't mean it should be everyone else's. If Falon was carting the dog off to the shelter, selling him to the first person that came along, or if this was his 3rd or 4th home I would have an issue with it. However, this is a young dog with a stable tempement that has a good safety net that I'm sure will be able to find an awesome home. Heck, after hearing all about him *I* want him and I'm not in the market for and new dog, let alone a young GSD. I really don't think this is some horrible thing--I'm sure he will make a new family very happy.

I do like the name "Fraggle Rock" for a collar business and enthusiastically support it's use!

Feeling completely bitchy for no particular reason.

I'm be harassed to smile, and eat, and take care of myself, and take my medicine, and take my vitamin, and eat, and smile, and all I want to do is yell a childish "shut up and leave me alone". For no reason. Which is worse than being bitchy in and of itself because I know I am being bitchy and feel worse because of it.

Zander is being super clingy, not helping. I am tired of dealing with insane people. Food not only sounds incredibly gross right now, but I know I am just going to end up sick anyway. Crohn's. I want to hurry up and move, and someone is dragging their feet. "Just another week."

WHY DOES THIS ALL BOTHER ME SO MUCH TODAY. SO IRRITATING. SO STUPID.

I'm sorry you feel that way I felt that way Saturday, through Monday becsuse I had the new job of taking care of these friends horses that went out of town for the week. Now that I have a routine going, it doesn't seem so bad.

My advice is allow the feelings to happen, get them out some way or another (I don't mean like at other people, lol) but maybe to to the gym, tske a run, or whatever.

Maybe Zander is sensing you're down in the dumps & trying to cheer you up? I know buddy gets super clingy when I am down.

My cousin is flying out on Friday for Iraq. He works as a engineer there. He has a two year old son and a one due in oct. he has been over there before but this time he is moving his family there once the baby is born. It's never bothered me before but I almost cried saying good bye to him on Monday. I just have this gut feeling that he shouldn't go. Not really a vent but I'm worried about him.

I got out of the shower this morning without rinsing out my conditioner. How did I even manage that? In 32 years I have NEVER done that!!

Found what may be my dream plot of acreage in VA and scrambling to get all the information on it before it's sold just to see if I can afford it is making me insane!

I have to be in Boston for another year to graduate (it's too late to transfer, I'm a senior this year)
so at least there's that.. I've never even been to california though!

I feel a lot better with some time to deal.
It could've been Yemen.
It could've been antarctica

I can still visit.. it's a hell of a lot closer to Japan and the time zone doesn't suck as much.

Plus..
it's right next to the SD zoo..and seaworld.. and comicon

I have decided to look at the bright side.

We won't get to see eachother every weekend or anything like that but.. it could be worse.

You guys are right. There is skype, I can fly over, he is coming home for christmas

we can make it work.

My friend is going off to college in a couple days. My other friends are on their family job/trip until November. They're my best friends, and I'm still here, going to college at a local state college. Oh well, I'm saving loads of money this way

Although I will likely end up in Mississippi, outside San Diego is still a possibility. And if we both end up there...can I say Abrams and Merlin play date!
