I really will never own another dog.
I found our family dog dead in the front room when I was a kid. I helplessly watched our next dog get strangled by its' own choke collar in a freak accident (again, just a kid). Then, I had to take our next dog to the vet and hold on to him as they put him to sleep.
Sorry for the downer, but it does fit well into this thread.
I put my dog to sleep on the same day Justin threw his no hitter.
Sorry to hear this. Losing a pet hurts like hell but sometimes you're too embarrassed to talk about it in case people think you're nuts. But you know what? Fuck that. They're members of your family and you deserve a chance to mourn.Quote:

We got her from a dog rescue where my wife volunteers. Basically it's a shelter in Southfield where they don't kill animals to make space. We volunteered to foster her while she waited for someone to adopt. She had been rescued from a puppy mill where she lived in a crate and was used for breeding all the time. She was really underweight and had arthritis in her spine. She wasn't spayed, and she was in heat when she got to our house. I thought my wife was completely nuts for doing this to me...
Another troubling thing was that she would randomly let loose a gigantic flood of pee in the kitchen. So to address both of these problems, my wife bought a bunch of Pampers and cut out a little hole in the back for her tail stump.
My other dog, Guinness, is a 10 year old large black lab. He's neutered, but that didn't stop him from repeatedly tearing off her diaper and ... all the rest. But within a few weeks, she was out of heat and growling at him whenever he tried anything. We figured out how to keep her from peeing in the house, so we could get rid of the diapers. She did eventually settle into a good friendship with Guinness, following him around from place to place, and sleeping against him at night. When we saw this develop, we realized that all three of us liked her too much to give her away to anyone.
When we left the house, she would hop up on the back of the sofa like a mountain goat and stare at us as we got in the car. She also sometimes stole Guinness' toys, especially a stuffed duck that he loves. And she had bad breath all the time. And she did occasionally break into the garbage. And she did once hop up on the counter and crack open a bottle of dog medicine, which she shared with Guinness, and I had to make them both throw up with hydrogen peroxide. But that was as bad as she ever got. She was so innocent and goofy and friendly that we occasionally shared our furniture with her, and we were more than happy to do so.
As she gained enough weight, she was finally ready to go get spayed. My wife was allowed to assist. And when they opened her up, they found that she was so full of cancer that she had no more than a few weeks to live. My wife was horrified. We were both completely heartbroken, and still are today. We had her cremated. When her ashes arrived, I actually hugged the box they came in.
RIP Bonita, my sweet girl. That's her in front, Guinness in the back.

I'll never forget the experience of having her around, even if it was only for a little while. I'm now a committed believer in fostering shelter dogs.
And we've done it again. George is here now. George is another Rottweiler - there are a lot of those in shelters these days. He's only 2 years old, and it's still hard to keep him from peeing in the house. George is a little scared of me. I think I know why:

This is a dog that should be at least 80 pounds, weighing in at 59. He's almost painful to look at, he's so skinny. He was starved and abused by his previous owner. I spend a lot of time with him.
If you like dogs a lot, and you want to get one, please visit a local volunteer shelter and meet the ones they have instead of buying one from a breeder or a store. They need your help and there are always really good dogs available. Some of them came from families where they lost their homes in the mortgage crisis and there are so many in the shelters right now. They need your help. OK, I'm done preaching now.
Back to your regularly scheduled "suck" thread.
Oh, man....good stuff, Swami...sad but good. I feel for you.
I'm a huge dog person, and so is my fiance. I made her read that story Swam - I feel for you. Don't let anyone ever tell you that mourning for a pet is unusual.

Whoops, time for more Vicodin!
Talking to family members you rarely ever see. Kinda awkward.
Yeah, I had a family party last weekend and there are a bunch of cousins I hardly know anymore. They were all like 5 when I used to be at family gatherings more often and now they're all going off to college soon. I have no idea which is which and I feel kind of bad.Quote:

So fucking frustrating.
The convos usually start and end with "Hi."Quote:

^^^ Awesome.
I expect a post later in the day that says something like this:
Having terrible gas in a cubicle and looking to make sure no one is around so you can rip it just to have someone walk around the corner to come talk to you as soon as you do.
Actually, I share a extra large cubicle with the other techie that works here but thankfully he's been out working on things all morning. He just got back so lets see how this goes....
Realizing that the 15 page paper you have to write is single spaced. Fuck.
I hate that, add the around the corner pop in to the list of suckQuote:

This is a rough day for you, Zek. What's the paper on?Quote:

That's how I got through college, my friend. Bullshitting is the way to go.
Can you talk about your time spent posting on WTF?
I would enjoy that. Perhaps fit in a bit about mah lazers chargin'?
I could also mention how I get to work at 8 and spend the first hour reading the Free Press sports page and Detroit News sports page online, spend a good 20 minutes a day e-mailing my sister who now lives in Tampa (I'm going to visit a day AFTER the tigers play a series there, dammit!), and how I wrote the paper on company time. This is the way to an A right?
Nicely played, young Zekyl. You have learned well.
Quick update, I'm 3.5 pages in and I've yet to actually mention what it is I do here.
Everyting on our company website is in my paper right now.
Just keep talking about "how much you've learned" and "how much the experience is really going to help your career". They'll eat it up, they love hearing that their programs and shit are really working and changing young people's lives.
Update: Page 8. This is really starting to suck majorly.
Single spaced shit just drags.. and drags...
It sucks that my internship was harder than Zekyl's.
I call bullshit. Did you have to write a 15 page paper and avoid farting all day?Quote:
