IMPLIED CRITICISM?

Yesterday, on top of everything else going on to upset me, I felt hurt.

Hurt that I felt like someone seemed to think I was not looking after Teddy properly?

Our dogs are part of our FAMILY.  I treat them the same as I would a child if it was sick or hurt.

Teddy is loved and cared for 100% in our home.

ABOVE:  I have not 'staged' this picture... it is simply their place to nap.  With their own cushions... even though Teddy is hogging them all right now!

ABOVE:  does my dog look neglected?  I don't think so.  He is just cranky about the cone.  And I have already talked about why it HAS to be on him.

ABOVE:  The suggested ointment from a couple of people yesterday ... we have some.

We also have all of this:

ABOVE:  we do already have medication for Teddy's EYES, EARS, ALLERGIES & SKIN.  All prescribed by a VET. I don't know what else I am 'supposed' to do?

We got near desperation point about 3 years ago, and had some serious discussions about Euthanasia.  Teddy's quality of life was miserable, but we have persevered, and we feel Teddy loves being on this earth with us... even with a bloody cone on.

Coco has only had a mild skin problem when we took the dogs to the beach, and they were attacked by sand mites.  Other than that, Coco is very healthy.

Moving on.

The flooring guys are SUPPOSED to turn up today.  Let's hope they do... cos my wick is pretty damn short at the moment.

Having to deal with LYING PRICKS just gets me so hot and bothered.  I'm NOT a violent person.  But sometimes I wish I could beat the shit out of one person in particular.

dumm dee doo.... thank god I've got my emotional eating under control...

ONWARD...

ANON:  Thank you for trying to help.  I did feel a bit upset that anyone could insinuate that I was not looking after my dog properly... hence today's post.  

I apologise if I upset you.
When blogging and commenting, it is always best to re-read what you are about to say, as the written word can be interpreted in an entirely different way to how you meant it to sound.

And I am rather quick to be defensive... having blogged for several years now, and had my opinions/actions often criticised ... tis easy for me to just 'fly off the handle'.  

Moving on...

Me Spa pool has died!  I'm trying to get in touch with the shop I bought it from to see what they suggest?  Yikes.

The flooring man is here.  He's not ripping up the stairs!  He's laying new laminate ON TOP of what's already there!  Hope it looks right.

I just went out, picked up Lacy and Keera and then we went over to Mt Wellington and Lacy bought Keera's next size up car seat.  She went all "OMG I LOVE IT"  totally nuts over it!  I swear, she even CRIED ... cos it was SO BEAUTIFUL!
Lacy loves purple.  And pink.  So guess what colour the car seat is?


ABOVE:  Lacy going nuts over Keera's new car seat!  Poor Keera is going to be living in it by the look of it! *smiles*

ABOVE:  the stairs are nearly finished... AGAIN. This time I can see that the edges are flush.  Awesome.  So ready to have the flood damage totally fixed and finished.

This afternoon I almost finished the bag for Sophie.  Yaaaa... should be able to post both bags tomorrow afternoon.

End of Day: a good day, spot on with the OFL Plan... feels great!
nite nite.
