Re: Newbies Nest
Morning Nesters...Day 51.
Thanks G! Congrats to YOU! You are taking great control over your life and treating yourself well. Keep going, guy; I like seeing your progress.
Wags, it is heart warming to see her get excited. When you adopt a dog with six years previous life experiences, it takes time to figure them out and get their trust. Little issues present themselves, and I feel like a detective putting theories together with her backstory. We were told she had one owner for six years until they went homeless. We've had two night fires in the wood stove and as soon as she smelled the smoke, she went all freaked. So, detective me begins to wonder if she became homeless from a house fire...I'll leave the other theories about how a house fire could have occurred and brought about a homeless situation in the files for now. lol We looked at a Jack Russel Terrier mix at the shelter that had just arrived and was two years old. My boyfriend wanted her, but is glad now we have Marley. I told him, let's get both. He gave me that look. Enough said. LOL!!!!!!!!!! Hugs to you regarding your father. I know you've been through a lot already.
Bryd, I've made some progress on that front of carrying other's burdens and responsibilities. You work on that. Unfortunately, it can come with a price when you do. You find out who was in your life for the right reasons, that is for sure!!! There are different personality types out there and some are predators looking for the givers so they can take whatever you'll give. Be good, but watch out for the users. This topic could take up a whole message board or thread, so I'll leave it at that.
LC, thank you! You sound good! Thanks for the link. I looked at it and found the book in a PDF file to read. I'll try to give it a read.:thumbsup:
Lav, you are like my mom. Always giving gifts that are heartfelt.:love:
Ava and Belle and anyone else with animal ills, love and hugs to you. Pets are a special kind of worry. They are so dependent and have an innocence that makes it hard to see them suffer. When we lost our dog last year, I said no more pets. I always get so sad, but here I am with my new shelter dog. They need good homes. After I read your post on making your own dog food, I did some reading. I'm in maybe mode right now. I took in a sick abandoned puppy years back just until it was well. It wouldn't eat, so I made it homemade food and it ate it and got better. I couldn't have him, so a home was found. It amazes me how people can mistreat animals. There is something missing and wrong with such individuals. I'll go back to my post to Bryd with that.
MsDinah, my boyfriend finally went to the VA yesterday. His liver enzymes were normal and he drinks all day everyday. Go figure. I had a blood draw Tuesday and will get my results this coming week. I'll let you know how mine come out.
Hello to everyone else and have a good weekend. I'm happy it is here. Three visits for my health issues and a new dog have me wiped out!
