The Worst Weekend EVER!

So, this weekend sucked.



I had to put my older boston to sleep Saturday and while I know it was the right thing to do and that he was suffering and no longer living life just existing it still sucks. I got him from rescue in 2000 and was just going to vet him and foster him while I found a forever home for him -- yeah right. He was adopted out twice and bit the adopters each time with the last time being a child's face; afer that he was no longer considered adoptable and either had to live with me or be put down. Well, he became my dog and Wally had a brother. I do have to say that the 7yrs that I had him he bit everyone: my mom, granny, grandpa, friends, boyfriends (he even peed on some poor guys head on our first overnighter needless to say it was also our last overnighter) the vet, and Mr. Jesi but never ever did he bite me. I had no choice he became mine. Well speed up to last month when he started having seizures and was diagnosed with heart failure, the vet gave him 3-6months and he gave it a good effort and lasted 1 month. I guess I could have kept him going longer but he had gained 3lbs in water weight in 1 week and couldn't walk and just stopped being Ralph so before he started to suffer any longer I made the hardest decision ever and let him go. It sucked and still does, I still expect to see him walking around. The one thing that gave me a silver lining was the fact that he bit the vet while he got the first shot. That's my boy!


On a better note; I met with the group of knitters and had a good time. I find it really helps me get my knit on having other people to be with and it was what I really needed after the morning I'd had. I got the birthday shawl done at 12am and blocked it overnight, I'm so happy I got it done! After blocking it wrapped all the way around my shoulders and actually looked pretty damn good! I warned Mr. Jesi that his grandma better appreciate it for what it was and she did, I didn't have to snatch it back. And now I know that I can finish something and give it away without crumbling under pressure.

Drum Roll please:

Alright, well that's all I can do now. I need to start on my sweater.
