I'm sorry, Shir.
kitty~ma to Max!
Enough with animals getting sick, universe. Just cut it out.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

{{{{{Shir}}}}} I'm so sorry.
Thanks, Cass. The NFU looks like what I am looking for.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Shir. You fought like hell for him in the end, which is all we can do.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I really can't believe he's gone (3 hours ago he was still alive!), but very relived to know he's not in pain anymore.
There's blood and fur on my clothes, blood and fur on my carpet, where he had the seizures. I was there with him when it happened.
I can't believe how non-functioned I got. My sis moved things, while I shivered and started weeping.
At the end, we all were in the room with him, petted him down to sleep and kissed him goodbye.
His stuff will be donated to the local RSPCA.
I uploaded some of his pictures to my Flickr, here, few days ago (changed the title today): [link]
Thank you for all of your comments. I really can't believe I won't see him again.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm pretty certain it's what I was wearing. I don't think I bought the Zoya Irene until later. The Nfu Oh is just ... man, I love that color so much. It's the only color I own a backup for just because I can't imagine not having it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Shir. That's so hard.

Poor, Oz, he's trembling with antici....Say it!...pation.

Separating happy and sad dog posts, smonster, I'd agree with Bonny that Frankie looks like a pit mix; in my experience pits and their mixes are utter sweethearts and should be trained and socialized as appropriate for their personalities needs (in other words, like any other dog) but not for a minute feared or shunned just because they have big brindly bull heads. Still, it's worth being aware that there will be people out there who will be dumbasses out of breed prejudice, which may very well be why the shelter has him labeled as a boxer mix.
I'm not sure if you know it, but Pam of Pam's House Blend has turned into a fierce pit advocate and anti-breed-prejudice type since adopting one a year or so ago from the Wake Co. Shelter. You can probably find some of her writing on the subject at the Blend; we don't have any crazy breed ban laws around here, thank doG, but she'd be up on the dirt if there were any threats of same. (aside from being generally awesome, of course.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Here you can hear him cry for beer. [link] Oz LOVES beer. It is his favorite thing evar! We have no idea where he got the idea that he. must. have. the. beer. because we didn't just start off giving it to him. Nevertheless...
