J.D., I'm a little late (on account of the fact that I'm sicked up with feckig flu lol) but better late than never huh?
Congratultions on 2 years of teetotalling! Indeed, you should celebrate and with vigor!
I'm also very impressed that you can still go out with your mate who still drink and not be tempted or judge them. This is a very big thing. You sound very level headed and very comfortable with you you have become.
Please keep up the good work and enjoy your new take on life.
My father was an alcoholic, his father was and my mother's father was so we have a predisposed genetic link to alcoholism in my family. I know that nothing is worth putting my family through what I grew up with as a kid so I respect anyone who makes the choice to become a better person.

so I took him in and later on ,he developed "asthma"....I've been pilling him for years on prednisone(spelling?) to help with his asthma...
and from being on the pills...since November of 2008...he developed "diabetes" from being on steriods(predisone)...so I have to give him
a insulin injection once every 12 hours....it sounds like a pain in the ass but really its just another quick step at medicating him since he
already has to take the pills anyways....he has a total quality of life..if you saw him you would never know he was sick from this......
so thats why I haven't "put him down"....he still is kickin it so I am his "servant" lol!!! He takes his lumps very well for an animal that
is this heavy medicated.......and this cat eats like a "dog" no doubt.....many have said he could easily out eat a small dog!!! LOL!!

And yeah your German Shepard(extremely beautiful dogs they are I must add) sounds like a treasure Metal Goddess...he may live to be 20 years old....so we can't
put a time tag on how much longer we have with them....its ok to notice they are aging but never rule thier length of time left...they do suprise us many times!!

Yeah I know....it sucks....but its a life experience having an animal....its the risk we all take when we get them..ect...as you know obviously...
but I think that the good times with them out-weigh the pain from losing them so its kind of a catch 22 if you will ya know it? You have
any animals right now Hellrider?

I would do the same thing. Bella, my last Cattledog had a short life. She was epileptic and would have cluster seizures but I tried the best I could missed work due to being up all night with her, got her on Meds but they were not enough. She died just two months short of her third birthday, as she went into seizures even valium could not stop. I cried like crazy over her. My face was supper swollen from crying over her. I still had to go to work the next day. She was a beauty. She was a star! A shooting star too soon to burn out.

and from being on the pills...since November of 2008...he developed "diabetes" from being on steriods(predisone)...so I have to give him
a insulin injection once every 12 hours....it sounds like a pain in the ass but really its just another quick step at medicating him since he
already has to take the pills anyways....he has a total quality of life..if you saw him you would never know he was sick from this......
so thats why I haven't "put him down"....he still is kickin it so I am his "servant" lol!!! He takes his lumps very well for an animal that
is this heavy medicated.......and this cat eats like a "dog" no doubt.....many have said he could easily out eat a small dog!!! LOL!!

I think anyone should save an animal whenever possible. My little (getting fat) Lucy is a rescue dog. She was emaiciated when I got her, now, she bordering on "pig" because I hate to see her hungry for a second. Now I have to adjust my attitude.
As for shot peening, I'm sure you will find many worthy. LOL

Oh KEWL! Looks like I showed up at the right time!
Great news about the job, J.D. I'll start thinking up some evil we can do with that sucker ASAP!
(oh, and btw....I donate regularly to both our local humane society as well as to the one in Michigan where I got my two rescue birds. I've easily placed a hundred animals over the years and actually HELP in the cleaning and care of animals at our local rescue place. Plus, I am nice! HAAAAA!!!). Now then, back to the peening.... :) |
