Well as the title says, Rudy passed away on Wednesday this week during my lunchbreak at work. He was suffering from Cushings Disease, which is common for his breed along with other terriers. Basically it is like arthritis but worse and shuts down their organs. Rudy was so bad because his kidneys, and liver were shutting down and he could no longer walk upstairs, sleep on my bed with me or barely go outside to the bathroom. Then one day when he went to the bathroom we noticed blood a lot of blood. We took him to the vet that morning while I was at work since he continue to experience blood the next day as well and our vet said he had a severe intestinal hemorrhage where he was basically bleeding to death. Worse than poor Earl.  I was not ready for it but knew I did not want my buttercup to suffer so I held my baby in my arms sang his favorite song to him and told my mom to go along and let him be with his brothers up in heaven. I still am grieving about it as this is so sudden especially after losing Earl 3 weeks ago. But we have Oliver, our new little Posh Maltese puppy to help cope with our sadness. His name is a tribute to Earl standing for "All Live Earl" or "I love Earl". We got him shortly after Earl died but only because we could not handle seeing Rudy at the time being so sad without his brother and we were miserable. Oliver barely knew Rudy but had a playmate for a while. Now he has my sisters dogs to play with for now until she moves out. We will get another Scottish Terrier but not right away as Oliver needs to be potty trained and its stressful. He's almost got the hang of it surprisingly. I will upload pics of him eventually when I can feel happy again. I just am not doing ok right now. It will take me some time to heal as Rudy was really a good friend and my therapy buddy. He will be so deeply missed. Rudy I love you forever and thanks for being there for me when I had a bad day, panic attack or just needed something to cuddle and keep my feet warm. Thanks for the wonderful 10 and half years you have given to me. May you find happiness with your brothers in heaven. xoxo

R.I.P. Earl :'(

4 min read
ummm greetings everyone reading this.... no i am not dead... i just have been avoiding this website for a long ass time do to sorting my head out these last nearly 2 years and trying to find a job which i finally have... and will be busy with it. with 40 hours a week.. and have hardly any free time to myself. but that is all i will say on my job matter no further questions will be answered for my safety of my job sorry.  all i will say is that its office work and leave it at that seriously i am not going to explain it dont ask me. i cant for legal reasons. heck i might have to delete this journal later O_O

anyways as you can probably read from this ....Earl my maltese passed away this morning. he has been suffering from a terrible cough for several months almost a year now which turned out to be him having an enlarged heart causing heart murmurs. lately we have noticed this week that he has been having to get up more in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and his coughing has sounded worse to point of him sounding like a honking goose. :( poor little thing has a hard time eating because he needed his teeth cleaned again but we could not do that since it involved putting him to sleep which cant take that risk. so yeah his breath smelled like rotten feces no joke but the guy was so loving you looked past his horrendously smelling mouth and constantly wanted to kiss him. So with his struggling to eat and going to the bathroom, he had weight and this morning before i was going to my autism group meetings with my friends, my dad was coming downstairs and noticed giant puddles of blood dripping down the stair case. my mom was freaking out because she thought it was Rudy who has had trouble peeing lately...idk why he just will not go outside. hes ok though dont worry i think he just either ate something bad or mightve had a minor bladder infection. but hes fine now sad now really depressed but hes fine health wise...

anyways....... so with the blood going down the stairs and my mom freaking out, Earl comes hopping up the stairs after me crying and shaking freaking out and I bent over to pick him up and hold him when I screamed into tears because I saw a giant puddle of blood and a slight bit of poo from his bottom. I wanted so badly to stay there and be there to help my poor mother at the time. because i literally have never seen her cry so much. he was all she had left of her parents. i wish i could have been there to have helped earl in his time of need and the last memory i have of him, is him just looking at me scared shitless. i at least am glad i got to kiss him. but i miss him so much. i have no one who will come running to me when i have a panic attack or bad day who is always there by my side to snuggle. i miss him so bad. first Toby and now Earl. I just hope i do not lose Rudy any time soon.

I really am trying to hold my shit together now and i am happy that i have a job and will be participating in statewide autism conference in August with my friends but i just wish more than anything right now, I could have one more day with toby and Earl. one more day where i could hear them talk to me, play with them, kiss them and watch as they smile and their snowy white fur glistens in the sun but theyre gone. and im almost still upset with how the Avengers movie ended. saw last night and loved it but... dear fucking god that ending is depressing. for now im keeping an eye on Rudy. poor little buttercup is crying and looking for Earl confused.

maybe i just will finish my steamboat willie legos.

R.I.P. Toby

3 min read
As of 9 am on Thursday Toby the Mexican white Schnauzer passed away. We first noticed something was wrong on Monday afternoon when we could not get him to eat his dinner. We assumed due to his teeth and old age that they were rotting away and it hurt him to eat. We tried to give him softer foods he likes like chicken and fish but even his favorite foods still could not get him to eat. My mouth then the night before his passing tried to give him medicine and as he opened his mouth he cried. We knew then something was not right. To make matters worse, he started to shake more and lay his head down like his mouth was sore.  My mom called the vet and left a message Wednesday night saying she was going to take him in the morning to see the vet. She tried to get him to sleep and he was up until 2 in the morning shaking violently in a seizure like state. When she did get a hold of the vet, he met her early to examine him and he said Tobys mass had gotten so big to where it was quite possibly now a tumor, he had gotten blinder and even lost nearly 10 pounds of weight. Poor Toby looked to be in such severe pain that it was at moment my mom decided to end his suffering instead of spending thousands of dollars on bloodwork or teeth surgery. He is in the process of being cremated, and my sister is still getting over the fact that she was in the room with my mom during his final goodbyes. I was in Houston for the rodeo and Galveston while it happened with my dad. I regret not being there to help more but thankful I was able to kiss Toby one last time before his death. He will truly be missed by me and my family as we are struggling to accept he is no longer here. Rudy is still confused and thinks Toby is on vacation as he keeps looking around the house for his big brother. It will take time to get over him but he was the best damn dog, yes he could an asshole and growl at me and people, but at the same time he was so smart and loving. I could go on and on about what a loving dog he was but just typing this journal is becoming difficult on me. I have done nothing but cry for 3 days straight now so if I am still away for a long time this is why. Toby wherever you are, we love you and hope you are finally at peace. We are truly grateful to have spent these last 12 years of our lives with you in it. xoxo

last night i was experiencing some mild chest pain as i was sleeping. woke up this morning to an even more intensified pain between my breasts and below my bra line. my mom makes me call the doctor assuming it was an upper respiratory infection since im crying that it hurts to breathe. when i get to the doctor he is pressing around on my chest and saying if i did not have a cough or any other pain in my ribcage or sides then it was pain related to something else. he then asked if my bra size was effecting it, or my spine. i said no since i have the correct bra size and never get chest pain during back aches. usually just sometimes headaches and my back felt fine. after feeling around on my chest he said i couldve possible sprained my sternum while sleeping or other things but wanted to do blood work to make sure my hemoglobin levels were fine and that my white blood cells were working properly. there could be a possibility that i am anemic, have blood cell problems or worse. freaking the fuck out hoping im ok. they have to take apparently according to my mom 4-5 bottles of my blood and my mom had to rub my head and hold me down while i screamed and shook violently because i was freaking out so bad when they drew my blood. the nurse had to call my mom into the mom because i could not calm down. the large needle had me panicking so severely. i really really really do not do well around needles. i felt mildly dizzy after but not entirely sick to my stomach. i was still shaking afterwards as well. i just hope i can sleep tonight since as i lay on my bed now...im struggling a bit to type this as my arm is sore from the blood work and im biting on my lip to ignore the chest pain. it feels like a hammer pounded my chest or like i have an orange in there that has been freshly squeezed for juice. if that makes any sense? idk... but yeah  

PS: im pissed cus unless this clears up or we figure out whats wrong i cant drink any caffeine which means no coffee. thankfully i can drink hot decaf tea... (i drink only hot herbal or snapple but shit snapple has caffeine NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) :tears:

well this is just a wonderful jolly old start to the year aint it? the singer of the band "The Cranberries" passed away suddenly yesterday at the age of 46. Im just very startled since I used to listen to her stuff growing up. heck i even sang her songs for a solo audition in high school choir multiple times. my parents saw her live before her band really took off. im just emotional and wish to god it could have been Donald cocksucker ass Trump. all the good people seem to die so suddenly. its just not fair. seriously i want to throw a giant ass party with tacos and everything when Donald drops down dead.  but who knows when the hell that will be? just praying to god we Americans have the common sense not to re-elect him in 2020. knowing how stupid we were to nominate him i wouldnt doubt seeing his ugly ass face only a mother could love in office again.

hope the rest of you all are doing well... just been super busy since the holidays and still wishing i had a damn job. everyone seems to out for the type of positions im applying for in office and its a real pain in the ass. hope to god i find something soon otherwise i literally might at this point get a damn job at mcdonalds. but no i refuse to steep that low with a god awful paycheck. i want at least $7 something an hour but if its a high quality job for experienced computer people like me then id say between $10-15 per hour but really i am not expecting that much for my second job.  also do not want to sound like a gold digger snob with too high of expectations. although i do have high expectations when it comes to finding that special someone in my life and do not expect them to ever come into my life any time soon. i actually am doing fine being single since i seem to attempt to pull into many dipshits anyways. XD well here i go rattling off the walls again.  yeah im gonna go nows im currently freezing my tits off no joke cus its like 30 degrees and dropping down to a low of 13 tonight here in Texas. trying to stay warm. excited cus im making roasted parsnips & carrots with potatoes in a white wine sauce with porkchops and mashed potatoes with chives for dinner. my mom hates parsnips since my grandparents always made them for her growing up. ive been bugging for them all year XD i only get to eat them like literally maybe if im lucky, twice a year. so yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy for veggies :D
