Cold Empty Feeling

You wake up and its another day.

More of the same. Rinse Lather Repeat.

Even though your Cheerleader tried to motivate you.

They have their pain and you have yours and its not the same.

You live in a bubble that does not change. They live the world and experience life.

How do you explain color to a man who had been blind since birth?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Giving up is not an option but a wish

Just another cold lonely day here.

Sad Day

What can a person say about their dog?

Most people are either a dog or a cat person. I am an animal person. I love most animals and generally dislike most people. I have 2 friends in the state I live in (NO smart ass I dont just live in the state of denial). The last time I actually saw one of these humans in person was a little over 3 years ago. Time and lives get in the way of shit, you know what I mean?

Besides Doctors, Physical Therapists, and Medical Transport Drivers only other human interaction I have is with my Mom. She is the person who keeps me grounded and going on day to day. One of my other best friends in the world was a small brown dog named Salsa. Sweet little dog really. I loved her more the 99% of people I know. She was honest like all animals. If you were an asshole or a bad person she would make it known and not go near you. If you were decent she would love you unconditionally. She was a terrible beggar and panhandler for tablescraps. I know humans are supposed to train dogs but she managed to have me and my mom trained to do her bidding.

For a little Chichuahua she lived a good life but with some medical problems. She had one MCL surgery, MCL strain, rectal surgery, Cancer surgery, and twice sedation for teeth cleaning. Since the rectal surgery she had to have anal glands expressed every 6 weeks and then her claws trimmed at same time. So today I decided to totally up what her total care costs over the years have been and was shocked by the total. $7500 roughly plus whatever her food cost over her 11 years we had her. But to me it was money well spent to help my small friend who more than once kept me from eating a bullet.

This little dogs death has hit me really hard today. I spent 13 years as an EMT. I saw many tragic deaths and people taken way to soon. With the exception of the death of my Dad in 2002 I had not cried this hard in years. Unless you have ever truly loved a dog, scarificed for a dog(money for her cancer surgery was supposed to be for my lasik eye surgery),and sat with them as they breathed their last breath...you really don't know what it means to be a dog person.

Having a dog or a cat is a lifetime commitment. The animals lifetime. Not until you get bored with them. Not until you move to a place that does not allow pets. Hey fucktard your moving? You have an animal find a fucking place that allows animals dipshit! Your new squeeze Mary Jane Rotten Crotch does not like dogs and your dog hate her and your thinking about getting rid of the dog? Are you retarded? If your dog does not like someone 86 them from your life. Animals are always right.
