Hey, yo. Almost two here, I should really quit the screens before midnight, but oh well.
Hope all of your morning rituals are as productive as ever.

Wife scheduled small dog to be put down on the 22nd. It's the right move, as time hasn't been kind to her the past few years, but still. As much of a pain in the ass as she is we've still had her 8 years and have lots of good memories.
Still have to figure out how to explain this one to kiddo.
+++vibes dude.

I’m gonna be a freaking mess when our tiny dogs pass over the rainbow bridge.
Speaking of speed metal, I had 250 of these printed with metallic \m/ (>_<) \m/ purple ink on black vinyl and I only have like 243 of them left. So if anyone wants some cheeky stickers in their life send me a TBD number of dollars for shipping and I’ll drop 13 of them in the post to ya.
@mandown @AngryMetalsmith @stevew ?
For people I see regularly, just expect that I’ll shove a few in your paw next time we hang out.

Is this the one you guys rescued on vacation? Who subsequently got its eye damaged in a fight?
sorry timmah, RIP little dog.
our kids were a mess the first time we had to put down a cat.

Just paid $250 to find out our 3 yo cat has the teeth of a 15 yo cat and needs $500 of extractions. I will spend ridiculous money on pet health without a blink though.

Just a shorthair tortoiseshell
I bet I know a guy who would love to leave a couple around an airport facility or three.
'Morn. Ran 3.5 easy miles in the rain this morning. The Boston Marathon is Monday. I am nervous/anxious.
Hello!
up at the b to catch a flight to san Fran to have some vacation fun with the San fam. Flight boards in 20 I guess, but I should be able to shitpost from the sky so see you soon.
have a phone screen for a program manager position with a former mentor in a different company. I didn’t think it was initially something I wanted to do, but I enjoyed working with her quite a bit.

This is the year! Go babs!
You could do my yardwork instead?
*Le sigh*. I suppose I should do some yardwork.

Good luck Babs. I share your nervousness.
Prepping for a five month long thru hike is exhausting. Really wish I could get all my shit together then take a mini vacation right before stepping off. That would be awesome.
rain varies between almost nothing and torrential downpours. which has revealed to me which downspouts are currently clogged. le joy.
neighbor black lab gang dropped by for a visit earlier. my dogs lost their minds. everyone is home safe and sound now.
did a brief stint on the treadmill this AM. thinking about running > 5 miles makes me chuckle at this point. maybe I will someday regain my fitness to the point where I could enjoy running 26 miles, but not today...
good luck at the marathon Baboon

Yep. Found her with a shattered pelvis in the woods outside Westcliffe. RM was instrumental in donating money so we could save her instead of sending her to the beyond.
I have no idea how this is going to go. Kiddo is 2.5 and somehow still likes small dog, despite small dog having gotten nippy recently (no real teeth, so it's not a safety thing). We've tried to tell her that small dog is sick, but I don't know how much of that she understands.
Oral health will be the death of her. Her teeth were atrocious when we found her, aged well beyond the rest of her body. Within the past few years we spent $2K for tooth extraction due to infection, but that destabilized her jaw bone and the infection never subsided so she's continued to go down from there. The antibiotics also resulted in partial deafness so she startles easily and is mentally declining as well.
We're probably $15K out of pocket in the past 5 years, so clearly spending money on pet healthcare isn't the problem.
gotta fill up and clean off the dozer, lowboy will be arriving this afternoon, going to get some layout done today on the pad. Need to figure out where to put the well.
Thinking I can probably just put them in an envelope and mail them standard ass mail, which won’t be a lot of money really. Would you be opposed to five bucks for a baker’s dozen stickers mailed to your door? PayPal, Venmo, whatever.
at that age i'm not sure how much it will register. our daughter was 4 or almost 4 when we lost the first of the 2 cats, and she wasn't nearly upset as our son (who was 6 at the time).
We've got 3, 10+ year old dogs at this point, so this will be a good preview of what the next few years will look like.
As much as this social media shit sucks, it is wonderful to wrap up an anniversary with a quick, beautiful, cheap Facebook post.
Well she doesn't have a dick to suck so the best option is out the window for me.
Works for me
My daughter was about that age when we put down XL dog #1. I don't think she really understood what was happening, she was probably more upset by how upset I was than anything. She definitely had more of a reaction when we had to put down XL dog #2, 3 or 4 years later. Just be very brief and very simple. Ask her if she has questions and answer accordingly.
Sorry guys. No getting around the fact that letting go sucks, but holy cow did you all go out of your way to do right by that tiny little life. She had a way better life because of you.
