Ah yes, the everlasting dilemma. Says the girl who got off work at 9:15 after getting there at 8:20am and was in bed by 10pm. 
I REALLY dislike doing out of state deals. Especially when the car and half the buying party is here, but the co-signer and the one with the credit and thus most of the decision making power is in the other state and one of those people who just HAS to do things their way, regardless of what actually makes sense and thus just keeps things going around in an endless circle with no real end in sight because there's no good reason as to why he just doesn't buy the car I have right now and be done with it. We have the better price, better business practice and it doesn't involve driving a brand-new car 1000 miles through snow covered passes.

My entire living area smells like nasty dead deer. Josh stuck a couple leg pieces that had meat on them in our mini fridge for the dogs. I didn't know about them so they didn't get frozen in time for the dogs and guess what went bad in the fridge.... The deer legs. Now every time I open my fridge that smell comes leaking out. Add to that the fact that Josh got another doe two days ago so now there is a bunch of fresh meat in that fridge now too. I'm taking a tonnnn of meat to my in laws today though since they let us use their extra freezer space to store most of our meat.
I have a few candles burning right now

Rhio took Leland away from us. Not entirely surprising considering how trite she is about being so willing to tear up his family/happiness for her own personal agenda, and how little we get to see him (unless she needs a babysitter). We didn't get him at all for any holidays, only saw him briefly on BeAu's birthday back in October. And there isn't anything we can do about it, except sell the Christmas gifts we had for him.
And despite this being done, she is probably still stalking me. So...police time!

Every time I mention finding a job outside of town, my mom throws a FIT. You know what? I DON'T WANT TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE AND YOU'RE ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS. Plus I can't make $600 a month forever. I NEED a full time job, and there simply AREN'T ANY in my field around here. If I want a job, I HAVE to move. Go guilt trip someone who cares.

I just wanted to thank Talon for taking care of that burden in my bank account known as money. I was really looking for a reason to blow away the rest of the money I had, thanks.
Talon was playing with Zoe in the yard and I go inside to use the restroom (neighbors dogs cause issues so I don't like leaving them out alone), and when I get back they are still happily running around. It wasn't until 30 mins later when I force them to stop and come inside that I notice the blood dripping from Talon's face. :yikes:
I grabbed him and his lower eye lid and swollen closed pretty much and there is blood dripping from what I thought was his eye. I got his eye open but didn't see anything really, but I was so afraid it was either the thing he had before that made his eyeballs swell or he cut his eyeball and would lose sight in that eye. So we got to take a trip to the ER Vet.
Turns out he jabbed himself really hard with what was most likely a branch from a bush and took out a huge gash under his eye ball. So the eye lid swelled and it was actually bleeding from the cut under his eye, not his eyeball. They flushed his eye just in case, took a good look at it and gave us antibiotic drops and sent us home. Talon didn't so much as flinch from any of this! My dog has a high pain tolerance. -_-
So his eye is back to normal, the cut is healing, he's his dopey self, and I'm even lighter on money than I was before. So happy for CareCredit!

I think I'm guilty of this sometimes ..but it comes from a genuine place& if it's something I know lots about (focus, building tug drive in non-tugging dogs ..and that's about it! LOL!). I'm sure some people think 'That dog of hers isn't even that focused so why is she giving advice?' but the reality is we've FOUGHT to get the focus we have now& I learned a lot ..so even if people have way less issues, sometimes I think the vast knowledge I've accumulated in the last 18 months may help someone new to figuring out their issue with maybe not so much experience in the 'bad dog' category !
