OT: Sad Time Again

Dawn-Moderator's picture

Our little Pearl passed away on Monday.   She was our little pocket kitty but she had a lot of heart.  She could jump like a flying squirrel. It was amazing!

She was all white with green eyes and won a calendar contest at the humane society where we adopted her from in 2006. 

She put up a courageous fight against cancer for almost a year but we had to make a quality of life decision. 

 

We've lost two precious pets in 6 months and I am so heartbroken.

Opinions Needed

My Ss is just about a month away from turning 23.  He has graduated from college, has a job(granted, it is an entry level job in his field but still a job), lives in an apartment in the next state over with his girlfriend, yet we are still paying for his cell phone and his car insurance.  I also have him on my AAA account.

I think that it is time for him to start paying all of his bills.  Dh thinks that I am just looking for something to complain about and pick on Ss.  He says he has more important things to worry about.

OT: We Had To Let Our Fur Baby Go Yesterday

She got pneumonia and she fought the good fight but she just couldn't beat it. She was hooked up to an oxygen machine to help her breathe and it was still a struggle. She also had more seizures.

It was the hardest thing we ever had to do. 

Today everything I do or see reminds me of her.

I am heartbroken......

OT-My 15.5 yr old puppy had a seizure this morning

Dawn-Moderator's picture

I am sitting here moderating the site and trying to get a grip on myself. Even though she is 15, she is still my baby. She seems to be ok now, although I still need to get her to eat.

I think one of these days, she won't be able to recover. That is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I have a meeting in an hour and I will have to leave her for a bit. Hopefully I can put myself together after the ugly crying!!!

FYI

Ss has lost his scholarship!!

Dawn-Moderator's picture

Ss18 got a full tuition scholarship. He had to keep a 3.5 GPA. The first semester he told us he was getting A's. I was happy because I didn't have to deal with his lazy, video game playing, sleeping all day, ass!! We also had zero contact with Bm. Yay!! All was right with the world!!

Then he joined a fraternity. I was against it. Stepson is easily distracted and I knew his school work would suffer. I was over ruled. Dh didn't protest much, even though he had reservations too.
