Oh gosh. Life happens regardless of the narrative structure we try to impose on it. That's a terribly shitty ordeal, I'm sorry lil!
This is the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time! Is this your pig? Do you still have a pig? I need to come visit you so I can play with piggies.
Not my pig unfortunately. I actually had to sell ol' Squeak a few years back. He got too big for his enclosure and was wandering up the mountain I lived on more and more and one day he slid down the face of the mountain and got stuck in a crack. He was ok, after I got some buddies to help me lift him out (he weighed about 250 lbs. at that point), but what with the rainy season (and the intense storms that can happen) it was only a matter of time before he fell and really hurt himself. The thing is, there's no vet that would have been able to patch him up where I was living, so I did the hard thing and sold him, which sadly means that he was slaughtered and eaten. :( It sounds cruel, but there were no real options and I hope you'll believe me when I say I thought long and hard about how it could be avoided, but that's the way it had to go. I would like to get another pig when I live in a place where I won't have to make those kinds of choices: they can be the most companionable animals and have so much personality. I'd love it if I could have a pig and a dog that got along really well, like these two. Squeak made my old dog (who is still alive and lives with my friend) his bitch (not sexually) and would always steal the dog's food and try to eat his tail.
I really try not to judge choices people make about situations I know nothing about. I know you are a good person and therefore wouldn't make a choice like that without thought. Hahahahahah..that sounds adorable. Similarly in this video, it looks like both the dog and the pig are trying to eat each others faces!It sounds cruel, but there were no real options and I hope you'll believe me when I say I thought long and hard about how it could be avoided, but that's the way it had to go.
try to eat his tail.
Consider it edited! I am an aspiring grammar nerd. To answer your question, I am a puppy.
Earlier today I was feeling some sort of way. I was very energetic for a lot of reasons and it manifested itself somewhat chaotically. I'm truly crestfallen to find my attempts to improve your mood came off awkwardly and to find a suggestion on how to listen properly as thanks. I would try to paraphrase how you might be feeling, offer it tentatively for your approval in an effort to make you feel even a little bit understood, and stand back to let you grieve, but because you already know what I'm trying to do it would feel forced. Kind of fake. And I hate fake. Even though I truly am sorry for your loss. And pardon me, I read grammar nazi at first but I see that you wrote nerd. I thought I was just using your words. Here, read this. I hope it helps.
Thanks for the edit and the other edit. Note: anyone coming across this page should know that some items have been edited and deleted, so it might not make too much sense anymore. Note, bbootz - the initial post was a little weird, but I do feel a lot better having had this conversation with you. I appreciate the other comments as well. Notice I deleted my stupid suggestion to read something. I also love the idea of sudden sofa humping. There's lots of interesting points in the link you sent, including this: There's no funeral - just a wake tomorrow. I'll be going and I'll be keeping the article you sent in mind. thxThere is no shortcut to mourning, the shortcut leads to madness. When you subvert the system and offer a mourner a shortcut, you are leading them to madness.
