SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT JUST BLEW ME STRAIGHT THE HELL AWAY........Paul showed up at my door, E answered.......I am scared but I am so relieved, I hope I was able to be a friend......but more than that I was able to say thank you.....Thank you for making me see me making me realize that the man in my life loved me unlimitedly ( yes I mean E) and that I did deserve that love and I was good enough to love him....for so long I have felt I was never good enough for him hell most days for myself.......
now paul isn't loving himself he has to have surgery tomarrow and he will be in my prayers, and I was able to thank him I made my amends I appolgized TO ME......NOT TO PAUL TO ME.....AND IT FELT SO DAMN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SO BLESSED AND I KNOW IT I COULD STILL BE OUT THERE RUINING MY LIFE AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!
I thank the Good Lord for today even though I know my E is feeling something ( though he won't say what) I know I am a bit scared, only because of everything I did while we were apart I cant ever make it up to him and the hardest thing I ever did was be honest with him.......you know today it was so easy to be honest with him.....I was able to look him dead in the eye and tell him I love you so much and I am THankful.......
So I gave Paul a hug and said good bye and have a good life, because I can't be friends with him, especially while he isn't being one to himself......
on a down note he showed up because my bails bonds man is trying to get money out of him......even though that case is over....WTF?!?!?!
Love and Hugs,
Pamm and Fam

gee, remember when you thought you couldn't LIVE without Paul? I'm going to get that word "can't" out of your vocabulary yet!
Glad you handled the situation and don't worry about the bondsman..you've done everything you were supposed to do.

Take the puppy in to be checked out. It could be Parvo and that is severely contagious.
Even if it's NOT parvo, it could be something else that could get all the animals sick, and you have a houseful of furbabies.
Hang in there, sweetie....you're doing great!
Hugs and prayers!

Hope all the pups and kitties are well and happy. It's great that you rescued those pups. So many dogs are living in misery and they don't deserve such a bad life.
Congrats on 15 months! I'm a ways behind you but I'll get to that point eventually!

Least you will
as for the puppies all are fine but one
"Bullous pemphigoid is an uncommon skin condition that affects dogs, and is characterized by the appearance of fluid or pus filled blisters, and severe open sores on the skin and/or mucus-lined tissue of the mouth. Bullous pemphigoid requires initial aggressive treatment, and may be fatal if left untreated.
Symptoms and Types
Bullous pemphigoid comes in two forms, the common blister (bullous) form, and the relatively rare long-term (chronic) form. The bullous form is characterized by open sores, short-term blisters, and circular lesions on the top layer of skin. Called epidermal collarettes, they are characterized by peeling edges, are circular in shape, and have a rim. The onset is often sudden and severe, and distribution of these symptoms is widespread across the head, neck, abdomen, groin, feet, and mucous membranes (the moist tissues lining the nose and mouth). Dogs who are severely affected may also exhibit lack of appetite and depression.
Causes
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when the body creates an antibody that attacks the cells of the body. The body is, in effect, attacking itself. Referred to as an autoantibody, this specific type is known as the pemphigoid antibody. It is directed at the skin under the surface (membrane) or at the inner mucus linings of the body, and causes a blister formation below the skin. Sunlight may worsen the condition.
Diagnosis
A variety of tests may be used to diagnose bullous pemphigoid. An examination (biopsy) of the lesions, of the tissue and fluid in the blisters, is the first step. Urine tests, and bacterial cultures may be taken to check for secondary infections caused by the entrance of bacteria. Other tests that your veterinarian decides to do are dependent on additional symptoms that may suggest alternate diagnoses. For example, other possible diagnoses may include fungal infection, or exposure to toxic substances.
Treatment and Care
Treatment varies depending on severity of symptoms and the possibility of secondary infection, due to bacterial infection for example. Bullous pemphigoid condition requires immunosuppressive agents, which slow or halt the immune system’s activity, and gentle cleansing soaks with antibacterial shampoo and water. Antibiotics may be necessary to treat bacterial infections that develop as a secondary result of this skin condition. Continued hospital treatment is only necessary if serious symptoms remain throughout the body (systematic) or secondary infections occur. Even with prompt and effective treatment, the long term prognosis for this disease is not good.
Living and Management
Patients should be monitored frequently for signs of progression of the disease, or for medication related side effects, such as a weakened immune system that is not functioning as it normally would (a condition known as immunosuppression). Keep patients out of sun, as ultra violet (UV) light may worsen lesions.
Prevention
Since UV rays may worsen the condition, avoiding excessive sun would be best for your dog until treatment has finished."
She is also allergic to the grass and only has the blister form.....so she is on meds and out of the sun.....has a little bit of energy about herself thanks to sugar water but she started lapping it up like I would a bottle of vodka.....yeah till she got sick.....but no blood......still have reason to worry these blisters on her little belly and cooter have me in pain seeing them there!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to tell you ONE MORE TIME....you can't make E behave in any way other than what he wants to behave. The only person you can control is YOU. Worrying and stressing about what he's doing/thinking/etc. is just getting you upset and not doing a darn bit of good.
I keep telling you....you're stuck together 24/7 and I don't think it's good for ANY relationship. You both need a little "me" time.
I luv ya, but really, really think you need to detach a little.
Glad the puppies are doing better.
Hugs and prayers!
Amy

Dad is fine...we had a long heart-to-heart talk and I don't know if he will get the sleep study done, but I made him thing about a lot of stuff.
I didn't realize you were working...GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
I know it bugs you about what is bugging E, but you're not going to find out until he's ready to talk. Don't bug him about it, keep your boundaries if he's taking something out on you that doesn't belong to you, and keep on keeping on.
A girl at work's pit just had puppies, and she's going to sell them when they're old enough (they're just opening their eyes). I have pics of Lisa and Sonny's pit puppies on my camera, so they were showing them to people at work last night...feel like I live in "pit land". Of course, I get to come home to the 3 cats and wonder-wuss, the chihauhau
I'm going to sleep now....hang in there!
Hugs and prayers!
