It's honestly a continuous grieving process for me. I still feel the loss of each kitty deeply. 'sha [ age 10; condition was liver failure, semi-quick once diagnosed and she made the decision that she didn't want any more tubes by chewing all her IVs off ] I received a phone call the day after she passed from my mom who had just found two litters of kittens in the wood pile being raised by raccoons. They were only a month old so I'd have to wait another month to rescue one. I said I would if there was a girl and not a blue-grey- there was exactly one girl and she was a full tabby. So the decision was technically the following day but I had a month of alone time which could have ended up being more. The little tabby came to me very sick but we got her healthy. In the end, she was the only survivor of all the kittens. Bitchcakes [ age 14 years, 9 months; condition was cancer] Her disease was hidden by her arthritis, her pain meds kept her going until she started having problems eating. She ended up in the ER hospital where testing eventually revealed she had cancer. She was given days to weeks. We had 6 weeks together after that diagnosis, careful hand feedings twice a day, heating pad, pain meds and episodes of Metalocalypse. Two weeks after she had passed, I ended up clicking a link I was sent and there was one itty-bitty baby girl in need of a home. A little tuxie. Potato Bug [ age 1 year, 3 months; condition kitten leukemia ] The freshest loss, she went downhill way too fast for such a small kitten. She was being treated for what passed as anemia but when she refused to eat anything one day, we went to the ER. She never came home. This was a few days before I had to head to Atlanta. In the vendors mart, there was a picked over table of random plushies - a small tuxie had been pushed to the side. It stays on my bed in the pillows by my head - Bug used to climb under the covers and hug my neck to fall asleep. About 3 weeks later I was pity-partying on Bug's adoption site and there was a tiny not-a-tuxie kitten that looked like her world was ending too. They said she might be too shy to function. She's currently snoring in the cat tree's highest point after a full day of mischief and mayhem. For me, a kitty is an ESA. A kitty needs me to be functional, non-feral, semi-adult creature so that's what I am. I spoil them, they keep me sane. I still grieve 'sha and that was ~16 years ago. I currently can't watch videos of tuxies playing in the snow and being tuxies or enjoy french fries because those were Bug things only 7 months ago. The Metalocalypse DVDs are gathering dust on the shelf because the last time they were watched, it was while carefully cuddling my little Bitchcake and feeding her puree. They are always in the background, they were family. Sakura isn't a replacement, she's merely the newest family member.

Changed clock as instructed.

I've never had a household that was devoid of canine and feline family members so that might affect my answer, but, there really isn't a timeline. Just as with a hereditary family member, they're not "replaceable" in the sense one might "replace" a significant other. If you picked up a new kitty a day after losing your long time feline companion, you're not somehow replacing your old family, you're rescuing new family that can help you work through the grief of losing someone special to you. Each pet we take into our homes is a unique personality that can't be erased once they are no longer with us, and it become apparent when you learn to interact with your newest adoptee. What matters is your capacity to open yourself up to loving this new family member: whether or not you are able to process grief with the help of others or if you have to shut down to do so. If the answer is that you can love someone while grieving for another, then you can adopt a new pet right now.

I knew i hadn't been awake that long... I'm locked in on PlayStation but i knew wasn't no way i got up at 1 and it was already about to be fkn 4. Not that I have anything to do, but I was like "I should have the munchies by now"

lol i dont' know if i knew this was a day. every day is a day.

The AI was somehow too stupid to generate CJ and just made two Franklins instead.

These mfers didn't even know it was a thing...just like me. But here we go... anything for a click. Really, getting rid of fact checkers was a brilliant move...people dont care about facts...just more slop, pls

Has a warrant for his arrest in Bainbridge Island, Washington for throwing a blue Koopa shell at a ice cream truck because it refused to stop for him when he waved for it.

The irony of DST happening on Women’s Day is not lost on me. Only 23 hours for y’all .

Ha! The clock in my room (which I did not change in the fall) is now correct. Always stand pat; inactivity resolves everything.

This still might be my favorite twist that Oda ever pulled. Blew my goddamn mind the first time I watched it.

None of my pets ever died. They all went to live on a farm.

His idea of foreplay is dressing up as Yogi Bear and his partner dressing up as Cindy Bear

Once had a threesome with two women who were dressed up as Wilma Flinstone and Betty Rubble

White women on TV that I wanna dick down. 1. Kate Snow in that silk clothing 2. Ray Romano’s wife from Everybody Loves Raymond 3. Two chicks doing a booty bump on a Family Feud episode I’ll never see again 4. Humana spokeslady who’s like 50

Andrew Dice Clay is not funny, overrated as hell.

Yes you hunnnnntyyyy. You a bad bitch. Period.

I have been fkn missing out. Taking full advantage of this. I got a Dr appt at 10:45 and I'm going to celebrate immediately after

Kind of relevant…maybe?

Ooh, so just a couple of years before they make you poop in a box and mail it ...fun times, but not the reason I ever thought I'd be mailing a turd.

ftfy

I figured it should be Michael but these mfers dont care...this is why i cant call prompt goofs artists...you dont just put out a shit product because you wanna be first

So economic problems overshadow the need for healthy humans 🙄 If we leave the clocks alone we will reduce obesity and strokes....but the dow

I'm still alive, the Internet has been pissing me off a lot lately on top of being boring and uninteresting so I felt that I needed to step away for awhile.

Ok so im just now realizing this is actually a thing ...i am also learning that there is a vocal section of men on social media that are mad that no one celebrates men's day. Turns out it's nov 19th Since I'm new to both of these "days"....what am i supposed to do? I'm broke so not buying any gifts...do yall get to wear costumes....ooh, tell me there's fireworks.

in case anyone was curious about how the humane society trip went, this is maggie.

Awkward. She can never find out about this. Hinata: Find out about what?

I may be wrong, but I think there are AI datacenters that are hiking up prices.

No Mikey's not right.

so-called adults

You're going to be a body guard for a guy that's stronger than you. Makes too much sense. 😄

BLUE LOCK Episode 5: To Be Reborn

yeah, we all saw that coming from the start. no way Ury was a traitor

I got another cat before my very old cat Sox died. I didn’t plan it. I didn’t want it, but he needed me. The CDS does stuff in its own time. a year seems like a long time. Look at it like this, your old pet would want you to help another like how you helped them.

I miss Kudasai.

I lost my shiba 5 years ago this month. I haven't replaced him. I'm not opposed to getting another dog though. You seem ready to me.

Convinced Mr. Hoonie to rub his bald head all over Frankie Froesty.

Went to go lay some pipe on Frankie Froesty.
