From My World

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Doing some creeping to keep up on what's going on in everyone's life. Not much really going on with me but here is what's going.

DH rarely talks to me about Puke and when he does it's usually to do with money. He had to borrow money from his mom to help pay a big doctor bill on Puke and then just this morning he mentioned he was going to order something for Puke she was wanting. Guess she's blown through her babysitting money. He cannot save any money either all the while I have a nice chunk in my savings. So very glad we split finances.

Any time he does talk about Puke I let him say his peace and I quickly change the subject. It's nice being in the dark regarding Puke. I think it's made my life and marriage happier. I rarely even think about her. No mention to me about coming for a visit. Our annual BBQ is going to be in June so curious to see if she'll make it for that. I'm sure she'll want to bring BF if she does to which I'll say no as I no nothing about this boy. Since he's 18 he can put himself up in a hotel.

Been almost 2 months since Ms. Kitty left us and I still miss her like crazy. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I have an occasional cry when I look over next to me on the couch thinking she is still there. Some days I think it would be nice to have another kitty in the house but I'm just not there yet.

My only struggle now is anxiety and panic attacks. Have always struggled with them but now my life is less stressful so I can really focus on working through them. I've been able to put myself first and it's quite nice.

No. When she had birth control implant done. My insurance didn't cover it because doctor wasn't in network. I say the bill should have been on BM for not checking but DH can't tell her no. Oh well. Not my money.

Well, I've put the bug in his ear that he needs to prepare for next year when I drop Puke from my insurance. Either he'll have to cover her or BM will. Puke and BM obviously don't appreciate me covering her so why bother doing it any more. My insurance was only supposed to be secondary to BM's but then she dropped insurance on Puke all together even though CO says she is to cover insurance on Puke. Sucks to be her!

I remember how it felt when I lost my furbaby. I was pregnant so it hit me even harder because I didn't have my wits about me already. There were mornings I would wake up expecting him to be waiting by the bed for me. I did get another puppy but it was a good while and it's really not the same. Unfortunately if anything this new puppy is more stubborn and difficult but I still love him. And BioBaby always has the biggest smile when the pups around so even if he ate all of my shoes (almost there) I'd still love him.

lol i like my pets like i like my kids - already potty trained, past the puking and teething phase, and already trained in basics. Wink }:)

aside from that, i would never get a puppy or kitten - the REAL reason being, there's far too many adults that dont get adopted out cuz they're not cute and fuzzy anymore so they get overlooked. those are the ones i'd go for Wink NOT knockin' anyone at all for getting the babies, but a grown, or at least HALF-grown pet suits *me* better.

When I lost the love of my life - a blond cocker spaniel I got another one from a rescue group about 6 months later. I must have impressed them as to my love of my baby as they let me come get him off hours.

dont hate'cha at all! i'm not a cat person actually - i'm a dog person first, and an (any) animal person second. funny thing is, my cats were more like dogs than cats. they were never destructive, the greeted me happily when i got home, and would come when called.

but most cats are @$$holes Wink i still miss their presence.

If a cat starts peeing on everything and there is no medical reason, then there is another reason.

The cat was in, or going into, the litterbox and something traumatized her. Like another cat attacking when her or a human banging on the box.

The litterbox is nasty. Should be scooped daily and completely replaced monthly. Ideally, the litterbox ratio should be 1 for every cat PLUS 1 more. So 1 cat = 2 litterboxes. 2 cats = 3 litterboxes.

Anyhoo, it is not normal for a cat to start peeing everywhere after that amount of time. Then again, maybe kitty is possessed or a Pod Kitty inhabited by an alien...

It's time Another. The best way to honor your canine ' s memory is to give another your home and love. And it might bring a little extra life to your older one.

I got my 2 before THE canine of my life died. I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't have later. It's been 3 years and I miss that dog so much it hurts. I am thankful for my 2 crazies though.

It took me 10 years to get over the loss of my first dog (that I got as an adult) before I got my next one. I was absolutely heartbroken.

When my only female kitty passed away 5 years ago, my heart went out of getting another one. Still had one and he passed away 1.5 years ago. They're cute and funny and adorable, but my heart isn't in it any more. My sister really aggravated me after the last one passed saying "One day you'll come home to a new kitty!" - meaning she would leave one there. She couldn't believe that I had no interest in having another. Finally told her if I came home to a new kitty, she would come home to that new kitty later in the day.

That's very possible. Especially with multiple cats and the kitty was feeling territorial. My sister has always had a lot of cats (all indoors). The fewest she had at one time was 5. Turned out the Who-Peed-On-The-Counter culprit was being terrorized by another kitty every time he tried to use ANY litterbox in the house. Sad
