I went to bed early last night but I still woke up tired. What is up with that?
I want to ring the vet and see if she'll put the dogs down, but I'm scared she'll say no, I'm scared she'll say yes, I don't want to do it and admit that I'm willing to take something's life just because I don't want to deal with it any more. Not Christian... breaking promises once insisted upon... arg. But I don't.want.to.clean.up.any.more.dogpee. I want a house that smells fresh and is free of dog hair.
Arg. Would anyone like a sprightly 16 year old Jack Russell?
I need to clean up. I want to write something but my ideas are all stupid. I'm going to go for a walk, it's sunny, maybe inspiration will come that way. Maybe I'll call in to the vet in person, that might be easier.
I wish I had some thing to say for your friday morning interest but sadly I don't.
I need a holiday. I feel like moving house. I got my P60 today and when I see what I actually earned last year, it seems so pathetic. Sigh.
Right. Breakfast, then into the open air where things will all seem more buoyant. Everyone seems depressed and miz at the moment. January's over. St Brigit's day is past. Shouldn't we be welcoming the Spring... I have some animals to sacrifice to it...

Ha! The bold shock of your last line just made me cackle like a sea-witch in my little shared office, thus dispelling any illusion that my co-officee might be under that I am actually working.
A 16 year old Jack Russell is an old Jack Russell. They are piddely little creatures even in youth (my Mum has a three year old one. We call it pee-pee). It must be pretty hard to handle now that it's getting old and incontinent.
There's always the option of an outside kennel - as you say, spring is approaching, it wont be too cold.
oh gosh, i should not have read this today.
could you get a belly band for him? it's like a little diaper for boy dogs, pretty easy to put on. my mom uses them for all her male dogs. works great.
sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed.
Ha, DL. Nah, they're too old for outside kennels. Their lives aren't fulll enough to warrant the misery of that!
Bethany, ah, there are many responmnses going through my head to that one. The irony is, I used to think like you, I really did.
I wish you lived here, so you could take on my deaf, blind, peeing, epileptic skinny 14 year old Jack Russell and his mother, I really do! But I can't see anyone else offering to take on the job. I know it's mine, I do. But to be honest, cleaning the floor is bad enough: if I had to change a dog's shitty nappy as well as Bodhi's, I'd be booking myself some euthenasia, I really would...
A puppy is for life, not just for one and a half decades.
Yep. I know the slogan.
It's more than just a slogan!
It would be like having your granny put down.
My granny is 92 and not too happy about it. She says she's just waiting to die.
You already have issues with the fact that the dogs live in the kitchen.
She's done well to keep one step ahead of ya.
It's quite a leap from removing them from where you prepare food and blowing their brains out ;-)
Hmm. I was thinking we might just squish 'em.
I never want to dig under your patio.
No, that's where my OTHER granny is.
Nervous laughter all round...
I think if the dogs are a serious problem (and believe me, if it were my problem, they would have been under the patio months ago), you should accept that you can't be their mother as well as everyone elses'.
You, your children and your husband have a much stronger right to your love and devotion than the dogs
(you are at the head of that list deliberately). Take them to the vet!
That is what I'm thinking. It's been a long time...
The others are right as well... but this is stronger...
