Buddy has been gone almost two years...tribute to all our lost animal friends

it's funny how animals can affect us in ways humans never will.In the last 5 years I have lost two grandparents..my stepfather..two uncles...and Buddy Guy.
To this day thinking about that big gump makes me more emotional than anyone or anything I have lost,including my marriage.

People who don't have pets could never relate...he meant more to me than 99% of the people I have known or met and all of us pet owners have had that *one* special friend....Buddy Guy was mine.

Tell your stories of your one true best animal friend...I want to hear them.

For me it was Buddy greeting me when he knew I had a rough day at work.After I showered I would lay down on the couch and he would wait for the ok to pounce on me and baby me....licking my face and laying on me.....215 pounds of dog pouncing leaves a mark btw.A St.Bernard doesn't play when it's time for hugs

I still miss him terribly

so I met someone today

we are going out Friday night...movie and dinner stuff.

Moving on is hard...still talk to the wife but I guess I have to move on.

I haven't been on a *date* in twenty five years...should be fun

On edit: Shouldn't use the term met today..we have talked before...more like first time we have shown interest in each other openly

anyone remember the Heidelburg(sp) project?

Possibly the worst case of folk art suppression I have ever seen.

To the Detroiters...is anything left of it?

so me and the wife are talking

She sent me an e-mail this morning saying she loves me and misses me...I sent her a corny love poem back...she says she cried for an hour reading it over and over....blah blah blah.

Lets see where this leads...she still is ignoring the 800 lb gorilla throwing a wrench in our relationship....her son.

25 years old...wont work....hasn't looked for a job in 8 months....lays in bed till 2 or 3 in the afternoon then goes to his friends house and smokes dope till 2 am....wont even clean his own room...she cleans it for him....we pay his car payment of 430 bucks and his insurance and his two credit cards while he lays in bed all day...while I drive a 1995 car and she drives something that barely runs.

Lets see how long she supports him and his boyfriend...neither of which work..on her 750 every two weeks pay....before she says enough and figures out who loves her and who is using her

this is wierd...wife stuff

we seperated two weeks ago...we both have our own places...I love her and she loves me but we just werent getting along.

She wants us to commute...she will spend one night a week here and me one night a week there.

Basically she wants us to be friends with benefits.

I'm not sure how I feel about this....yeah the friends with benefits is cool....but it just drags it out.

This is complicated

I have Junior and Katie...what have I got myself into?

I LOVE my babies but DAYUM...it's like watching two 5 year olds.

They are going nuts chasing each other for their squeakie toys...Katie cant lose.....she is fast...Junior just beats up the floor chasing her....he hasn't figured out a 25 pound terrier with attitude will out maneuver a 150 pound cow

Having fun for the first time in years

how soon is too soon?

last week my and misses backwoods broke up.

Last night I spent the evening with my new neighbor.....she is MUCH younger than me....19 years younger......we...shall we say enjoyed each other

I really like her....is this too fast and are these feelings just me trying to replace her?
