[Error: unknown template qotd] When my mother was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer my family only offered words but no help in any form. My mother was forced to take care of my grandmother while recieved chemotheraphy and radiation treatments. I in turn skipped school to take care of my mother and take her to her daily treatments. My family harrassed my mother at my absence from school, too busy with their retired social lives to even step in and help. Instead of focusing on treatments and having some quality of life from the time she was diagnosed she was stressed, depressed, and filled with pain of ever form. She passed away 4 years ago. I recieved my high school diploma six months after she passed. That time frame is a touchy subject with me concerning my family. Not once have they ever express guilt or sorrow in the way they treated my mother. Not once, by word or letter, have they ever appologized. Even if they did, words can't bring back the dead.

May. 11th, 2008 04:37 pm Well I finally did something I've been needing to do for months. I bathed my dogs. Not that I neglected to do it, it just seems whenever I had a day free on the weekend to do it was forecast to rain. >:/ no joke. Its a half day affair because when I wash them I need to wash their beds. Kind of pointless to wash them if their beds are also filthy, yes?
So I get into gym shorts, when I really should have put a damn swimsuit, got all the towels in the bath room and headed out to the backyard. This is where I messed up. What I should have done was put the beds through the wash so they would be drying while I was bathing the dogs. Opps. So I bath Lucky first, who tried to slink off everytime I didn't have a good hold on him. Thats hard to do when you're other dog is trying to bite the end of the hose the water is coming out of. Thats a hint as to the nightmare with Yoko. So I finally get Lucky washed, get him to shake then lead him to the bathroom with a few towels on the ground, rub him with one, turn on the vent and left them to dry while I tackled Yoko.
Who had been digging where the water was hitting the ground from the hose. Nice. Now she's muddy. Nothing new come bathing days. Now the fight, squirming not to get away for the water but to attack it. I really need my friends to come over and film this and send it to America's Funniest Home Videos. So how do I solve this? I put her in a headlock between my legs after I get her head and neck soap free. She doesn't fight me to get out of the headlock, but to go at the water when ever it comes into her view.
Oh if you're wondering what breed she is, she's a English Pointer. A true blue blood hunting breed.
So now their in my room, damp, laying on more towels while I'm waiting for the dog beds to go through the wash.
Now if I could get her that excited and interested into jumping into water she's beat any labs butt at distance jumping. She'll go after a toy.... just not into a body of water. She'll jump in and out of a kiddy pool but thats it as of now.
On another note I am missing my friend Ghazal terribly. She'll offically have been gone for a week at 1pm tomorrow. She won't be back for at least another 2 weeks. ;.; I hope everything has gone well for her and she's having a great time visiting her family over seas. I would have begged and pleaded to be able to tag along when I first heard of this if it wasn't for the fact home country is IRAN! The people I know from there are great, its the government that is the true fear. Even so, I worry about her getting out of there and back home at the end of the month. The photos I've seen of the place are amazing. But I miss her. I hope to hear from her soon by e-mail.
