Do they know for a fact that she has cancer and she's terminal? I would have done the same thing if I were her, honestly. I would have wanted to go home and take a bunch of pills. I hate that she's miserable. I wish things would get better for all of you and they will eventually, it's just like you said... a really sucky time in your life. I don't know how you are doing it and able to talk about it. I would disappear from here and not be able to talk to anyone. So just an FYI, if I ever disappear, something really shitty happened.
well yeah it is a really shitty time. I dont mind talking about it. I have real life friends, and have told 2... the rest I dont feel like bringing down. Hell I avoid almost all my friends... I learned that most of them suck and only call when they need vet care....and if I ever hang out with a group I am always the center of entertainment, and I feel like they only invite because I entertain them. Ever notice how when I talk about going out, I go out alone? I honestly have more fun that way- and meet new people.... and tell them I am a secretary, that way the next sentence from them is not "I have this dog..... " anyway back to mom. She is being a total cunt... and I understand why, but it just sucks that her last days, my last memories will be of her in pain and being a bitch. I am still trying to figure out what to do with her 3 deformed ducks. They are really fucked up and cant live at the park- that is why I got them from the park, they were near dead...being beat up by the other ducks... but now they are healthy, just still have deformed legs.
See, that's my big fear. I don't like to see people in pain and dying. My g-ma went through that and I honestly wished I could have suffocated her in her sleep. I thought about my parents being like that and how I might try to kill them. Maybe that's messed up, but I don't think anyone should have to live their last days miserable. That's why i was curious if the DRs knew for a fact that her time was limited. I don't get why they can't just keep her doped up. I know she's had a drug problem and all, but who cares at this point? They didn't dope my g-ma up and she was in pain all of the time too. I don't get it. I go to the hospital and they are all too eager to give me pain meds. They gave me morphine and let me drive home for an ovarian cyst, but an 89 year old woman with COPD and all kinds of other problems, they give her some Flexeril. WTF?
Too bad this place is so far away from you. I'm looking for places closer. I don't know if they would travel to get ducks or not. http://mthollyducksanctuary.com/our_story
I was kidding - that was meant to illustrate how fucking big those things are. They're like well-tempered, vicious-when-provoked, canine horses. Fascinating dogs, really... A friend of mine has a couple to protect his ?Bandi? sheep (short, brown-haired sheep that do his lawn for him without uprooting the grass like their wooly counterparts) from the wolves and coyotes... They're big mofo's. I'll say that much. Kinda reminds me of ?Ralph? on the Looney Tunes cartoons that would punch in next to Wile E. Coyote, on the day shift, watching over the sheep in the pasture.
they are not wild ducks, they are the pecking ducks- white. People dump those at the park all the time... that is how they get there, since they can not fly. Hers are tame, and will get in your lap if sit on the ground. She kept them in a fenced in back yard. I cant put them in my back yard, my dogs would eat them..(her dogs loved them and guarded them) ... I thought about putting a little temp cheep fence here for them... but I know the coyotes would get them. There is a little lake at my sisters where her horses are, but again.... coyotes. ---------------- yeah Pyrenees are weird dogs. Her female came from an alpaca/Pyrenees breeder... they sold her as a puppy and the people returned her 8 months later... the breeder dumped her at the pound because she was spayed and useless. I hate breeders. she is very true to the breed... guarding, bitchy, and does not like humans,wants to be outside at all times... barks, and I hate her. But the male also came from the pound- but I dont know his history... he is a big wuss and thinks he is a lap cat. He does not even like to go outside... he runs outside and pees and poops, then runs back to his sofa....all fast and funny, like it is a race. Since my mom lives near a hospital, ambulance sirens are a common sound... and you should see how he tries to hide under the bed... only his head will fit. There are always pyrenees at the pound, since a breeder lives in the area... people buy them, then realize that most of them have that barking-guarding nature and dump them at the pound. Every person I have ever talked to that has or has had one... all were annoyed with them. With the exception of BOSS -my mom's male... I would never take one.
I'd take them if I were closer and thought they would be safe at my house. I don't know what my dogs would do with ducks. They are pretty cool towards animals. They don't mind cats, so I dunno. Tractor Supply had some really cute ducks and chicks last weekend that I wanted. I still want a brown and black bunny, but I feel badly keeping a bunny pinned up and again, I'm afraid my dogs would hurt it looking for the 'squeaker'.
