I still catch myself calling his name....

It has been over a month and I still miss him dearly. When I see his collar or just one of his random toys I still cry. Even now just writing this and looking at his picture I can't help but cry like a baby. I can't even describe what he meant to me because he was so much more then just a dog. He was more then a friend and more then just family. It hurts when I get ready to go to bed and go to call his name and remember he won't be able to answer it. And I can't but feel unprotected because he is no longer there to watch over me and Katy. And it sucks so much that she will never know him or even remember him cause of the short time they had together. She will only have his picture and not understand how much it hurts mommy to see them. Why did it have to him that got sick? I hate saying this but I wish it was one of the others.

Dippy, We Will Miss You!

On Sunday we lost a member of our family. She was only 4 years old and we loved her very much. On Tuesday she was chased by a dog and cornered. Dippy is a very small cat, at full grown she is no bigger then a  6 month old kitten. Her little heart couldn't handle it and caused a blood  clot to go to her brain. We will miss  her very much but we are thankful for the time we did get to spend with her.

Dippy came into our lives when my husband found her at work and rescued her. He brought her home and Lil'Bit and Tiger automatically went into parent mode and started taking care of  her. She would sit on Sean's shoulders as  he sat at his computer and played video games. And she would either curl up next to me or laid on top of me when we took naps together. She was a very special animal and nothing would ever be able to replace her in our hearts. 

Why There Have Been No Post This Week

Sorry about not posting lately. Things have gotten really heavy around my place.

We found out Monday that Bird has heartworms, and right now I'm out of work and we do not have the money to pay for it. So we are making some huge sacrifices to get her treated and Kiba and Lil'Bit tested and treated. Along with getting them the prevention so we do not have to worry about this anymore for all six of our pets.

We are currently selling off two of my skateboards (yes, I collect skateboards) for $50 each, my Vivitar camera and all its effects for $150, along with all our DvD's for $2 each and BluRays for $5 each. I am also willing to sell off some of my manga collection and my Shonen Jump collection.

Also as I said I'm currently looking for work. I am currently putting in applications at fast food places near my home, as much as I would prefer to do graphics or web design I'll take any job right now.

On a lighter note, post will be picking back up, but I will no longer be posting everyday or on the weekends, post will be made on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for now on. Fable 3, Batman: Arkham Aslyum, and The Darkest Hour reviews will be posted over the next two weeks. Along with the MoP:Beta Pandarian starter area videos on YouTube.

Missing Tiger

So it's been over a month since Sean let Tiger out and hasn't returned. We have been calling shelters and vets but noone has seen him. We've walked the neighborhood looking for him and calling his name but not even a clue as to where he would be. We put posters up and set food out to wake up to it being gone but no Tiger.

Tiger joined our little family at Christmas in 2005, Sean came home with two cats as our first Christmas presents to each other. Tiger was mine and his brother, Mouse, was Sean's. They were the best gifts each of us could ask for, and always will be. Mouse was a black tabby, that you could barely make out the stripes on his back. My Tiger was a orange tabby that stripes went up in to a lepard pattern on his back, the tip of his tail was broken before we got him but he didn't seem to care about it.

Two years ago around Christmas Mouse and Tiger left the house together like the normally do, but this time instead of comeing back after a day or two Tiger came home after a week and a half and Mouse never did. We spent months hopeing and pray he would come home, it took Sean a while to come to the fact that he wasn't comeing home this time. A hole was put into our little family the day he left but was filled a year later when Sean brought home this little black and white kitten that could fit in the palm of your hand. Tiger didn't know what to do with her, since she was so small and she was  female.

Now two years after the dissapeareness of his brother, Tiger dissappears, and just like Sean I'm not giving up just yet. I'll keep putting food out and checking the porch every day. I'll call for him everytime I go outside, and I'll light my candle and pray for him every night.

What I'm Thankful For

Thanksgiving 2011

Everyone knows Thanksgiving is the time of the year to be thankful for the things you have and for the family that is around you. It is not just for chowing down until you pop the button off you pants. It is also the time to bring family and friends together to have a great time and enjoy each others company.

It has been a long year for me with Sean deploying, Stephanie coming to stay for a few months, my mother-in-law remarrying, Jonni finding out that I have another niece or nephew on the way, Sean coming home for R&R, and the new kitten. Also with Sean coming for good, well at least til they deploy him again, in just a few days, I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

I am thankful for my wonderful family and great in-laws. My family has always supported me in everything I do, and there are very few people that can say they actually like their in-laws.

I am thankful for my husband. We may argue and not always get along but when it comes down to it I would rather have him beside me then anyone else.

I am thankful for my pets. They keep from being lonely and warm at night when Sean isn't here.

I am thankful for the roof over my head and the floor under my feet. I am thankful for the car that is in my drive way.

I am thankful for really everything in my life.

Even though I didn't really do anything for Thanksgiving this year. I tried to join in with my family in Texas with Skype, but that didn't work out on. The issue was their end and not mine. And I don't have any plans to go to any crazy sales for Black Friday. Instead I will be prepping the house for Sean's return.  

Squidoo Lens: Keeping Your Cat Healthy During the Winter & Holidays

My mother has been doing this for sometime and has made a little bit of money off it. So I figured I could do a couple of articles a week and earn a bit of extra money to play with, while I'm looking for a job. Which if anyone has anything open, I will babysit, clean, do any design work or just simply write articles for you please email me.

Anyway I have be researching a couple of articles and just finish posting my third one, Keeping Your Cat Healthy During the Winter & Holiday, and wanted you guy's opinion on it. I know I'm not the best writer but I think I'm pretty decent. This is the first lens I choice to give to a charity, so lets see how it goes.

The next lens I am will be writing is about dog health during the winter.

Why I Love My Dog

(Sorry for not posting for a while. Been extremely busy with hubby on his way home.)

So the other day I went to do all the shopping and all. When I got back I sat in the car for a while and talked to my mom, where Lil'Bit can see me from the living room windows. After a while I decided to feed the pups before going in. Then I decided I was gonna stay out there for a bit and play with them.

I guess Lil'Bit got worried and not seeing me in the car and now where around the house he went to my office window that I have small window unit in to keep it cool, with the air conditioning wanting to work on it's own schedule. Any way, he climb out of it and went looking for me. As I cam around the fence to come inside he came running up to me and I let him in the fence to say hi to his kid and wife and the back inside. Now normally he would have just ran around the neighborhood until I catch him. This time he didn't he went straight to me and the straight to the front door, kinda like saying "Ok, you're alright so let me back in to chase the cat some more."

Since he was being so good I thought I would reward him with his favorite meal, chicken nuggets, so I loaded him up in the car and took him to get some. He behaved the whole way up there and back, I was so proud of him. After he ate his chicken nuggets I let him out of the car and had him follow me to the door to let him in. Normally I would have put him on his leash, but since I didn't grab it before we left I didn't think of it. But he stayed right at my side and went straight to the door and didn't even fight to get in.

And this is why I love my dog. He is my best friend and my guardian.
