Double post, the internet is driving me crazy since the wind storm the other day...

I was referring to snail mail junk mail. Things like catalogs from companies you'll never in a million years order from. The only problem is, they will stop all junk mail or none, so I like to get some catalogs from horse supply places, even if I didn't request them. With that in mind, when I heard about stopping junk snail mail, I decided not to sign up, since I might be missing something.
Unfortunately,,,,,,
I think it's possible to totally ruin an animal. To abuse it to the point it will NEVER be the same, or trust humans, or be happy again,,,
humans have counselling,,,,,,in addition to the possibility of love and affection to help them along,,,,,but even some of them don't ever get past it, IMHO.

LOL Officer!
thinkin' I need to give my HONEY more of a DO list![]()

Hey I was minding my own business and she proposed to me. I told her I had socks older than her but it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. She keeps me on the straight and narrow and I'm only 20 years older than her. She says age is just a number plus I figure she will be strong enough to push me in my wheel chair in a few more years. My girls think she is the best and that's all that matters to me. We both agree the girls come first and 2 of the 5 are ours. I was just born too soon because had I met her when I was young I would only have had one wife, shes my rock and I love her with all my heart.
now aren't you glad you didn't kill him?![]()
Lexi sleeps in my room with me as well - but not on my bed! There would be no room for me. She has a couple of doggie mattresses stacked on the floor because mastiffs often have elbow issues, and don't do well on a hard surface. But, oh maaan! That girl can snore! Her bed is next to the sliding glass door. Last night, she was dreaming and all I could hear was her toenails clicking on the glass until I woke her up.
those are the animals we bring to our place. The ones the rescues, adoption places, and animal people have given up hope on. There is no such thing as never.

I don't know as much as Blues but I think he will agree with me on this, actually when you rescue an abused animal you are their counselor if you think about it. We're really not any different then they are as far as feelings they just can't communicate verbally. That's why they are so great at reading our body language. Its us that have to learn their language and its doable. The only way they can tell us they are hurting is to scratch,bite,claw or kick. That mean behavior in my experience always gets worse before it gets better and the only way that I have found to deal with it is stay calm,cool and collected,after that normally a tentative bond starts and so does their healing. Not got as far as unconditional acceptance he wouldn't allow himself to love.

Morning,,,,,
not a good day here,,,,,,,my pain levels are going through the roof lately. Still not 100% what the problem is, but hopefully the doc will have some answers Monday (Tuesday?? the 22nd)
I'm really beside myself,,,,,I've decided to give up my two design team posts,,,,ASAP. A Design Team is a team that makes cards (or other projects) with freebie goodies that companies send you,,,,,,,I just can't sit in my craft chair long enough to make cards lately,,,,,,and when I CAN sit and make a card, I want to make the ones I want to make,,,,,,not what someone else tells me to make,,,,I'm late on one today, and I don't want to disappoint any longer,,,,,,it's just time to give them up until they can figure out the problem.
didn't mean to be a downer,,,,,,,but I'm a bit down today.I like my design teams,,,,but I just can't do it anymore. I never know when I'll be flaring, sometimes they don't get the products to me quickly so that I have 2 days to make a card,,,,and if I'm flaring those two days,,,,,,it's miserable. sigh.
Just.too.much.
Hope everyone is having a better day than I am,,,,,
but I think I'll be calling on someone for a creme brulee recipe when I get better at DIY![]()
Could you imagine a hyper mastiff in a house?
Oh gees ,Holly! I'm so sorry to hear this. Please don't worry about being a downer. We're like family here, only a heckuva lot less demanding. Sure hope you feel better and find out what the problem is quickly. I know that your posts have brightened many of my days. Here's to hopin' that your days brighten soon.

I agree, Raynes. Calm, cool, and collected is the key. Animals read us fast, and they respond to what they read.
I know I have a time with keeping up on what's going on myself sometimes. That's why I just jump in anywhere, usually off topic.....sorry.![]()
You have company. I'm not on FB either.
