Was rear ended Friday night driving home from work.
Once again, another family member passed away today. Seriously, eff cancer!
RIP Aunt Della
I know the doctor said that Duke's condition hasn't gotten worse, but he has passed out 4 times in the last 2 weeks, and he is hacking a lot. I don't think it's an actual cough, but more like a hair ball hack. Makes me sad. I am sure I am over reacting, but knowing I am leaving him for 9 days for the MC is just tearing me apart right now.
Had to put our cat down last night. Really sucks. Had him for 10 years. He was a great pet.
Duke is 11 and Ellie is 12, so I guess it's par for the course with dogs their age.
Its not kennel cough. He has major heart problems and the vet said that with that he knows when he gets too worked up and will stop. Duke gets excited very easily and once in a while, does not stop and it leads to a scary view of him falling over and looking out of it.
Its scary because we love the little guy and in the last year were under the impression he would not be with us much longer. But our little boy is a fighter and despite only being with us a couple of years now, has made an impression on us that is amazing.
He has congestive heart failure, so this isn't uncommon for his condition.
He just had an ultrasound on Tuesday and everything checked out. They said his condition hasn't changed (which is a good thing). He said that his mind thinks he is a healthy dog who wants to play, but his heart can't support that so he can't get the oxygen he needs. I know this is just a side affect of his condition, but it doesn't make me feel any better or less on edge. I just hate seeing him like this, he should be able to play hard like he wants. And I hate it even more knowing I won't be there to watch over him for so long.
Rant 1:
My cousin's mother in law (no idea what kin that is to me) was opening up her Starbucks store... homeless guy was wandering around suspiciously and sure enough... He came in and beat her and another co-worker pretty bad. Cousin's mother in law got the worse end of the stick.
She has extreme bleeding on the brain, having mini stokes, has no idea what year it is or anything. She does not recall the situation at all.
One good thing is that, the police did catch the guy and he tried to fight them and they roughed him up pretty bad.
Rant #2:
Local news station always posts local stories on facebook about the stuff. Well, the first comment on there really ruffled my feathers. It was a lady making a joke about it by saying this exactly... "I did NOT want SOY... I said SKIM". Nothing ticks me off more than people making idiotic comments like that. I replied back that there was no need for a stupid comment like that and she said she was making light of a bad situation. I don't really call that "making light" of a bad situation... I call it a poor sense of humor.

Dev, you can't pick your family but you sure as hell can pick your friends.I go out of my way to help everyone. I have helped all my friends move. I even helped my one friend renovate his damn house. I spent 4 weekends and some days during the week cleaning out my grandmothers house and packing my sisters house so she could move. We are moving Saturday and no one can help. My sister hasnt lifted a finger to help. My parents have done nothing. And all my friends have other stuff to do on Saturday. They have known the date for a month and everyone was all gung ho that they would help and now its going to be me, my 1 friend, and my father in law. I am so sick of being taken advantage of. I really wish I could be one of these people that just goes through life not giving a crap about anyone or helping anyone. My father comes over and tells me this morning he has to work Saturday because he needs the money. Keep in mind, he just got back from a 2 week vacation in Florida and took off multiple times to help my sister. Sometimes friends really are better than family.
Brutal dude. I'll come help.I go out of my way to help everyone. I have helped all my friends move. I even helped my one friend renovate his damn house.

THP Outing to help Dev move?
I know exactly what you are going through we had the same thing happen to us. I finally threw my hands up and just hired movers because I couldnt do it all myself. We packed everything and I took some small stuff and electronics in my car but other than that the movers did everything. Really did not want to pay them but had no choice. It didn't end up being to expensive though.
