...quite sad, honestly. But what is sadder is that my first reaction was to think about "RL" Blue's Clues, Huckleberry Hound, and Ioryogi... ;_;

Woot! I'm slightly less poor than before!

New trailer with new footage of Volume 4! (Contains some rather huge story spoilers, so if you haven't already played it on PS2, don't watch):

So my other old dog's heart is failing. Took her to the emergency clinic, and they say it's congestive heart failure and something they can't quite see in the lungs as well. All nighter time with her. I have her on my two comforter blankets that she likes to sleep on with me, and she's stable for now, but her breathing is still shallow despite the emergency clinic treatment.

I could have left her there over night, but the place didn't have a specialized facility for that, so essentially it would have been her in a cage with some oxygen hooked up to her for $1800. Got her some diuretics via IV and then some other meds for whenever this opiate that they gave to her to calm her for the X-ray wears off.

Ugh.

When my dog got parvo, I was asked if I wanted to leave her at the vet or bring her back daily for treatment. I don't know how or why or what but something told me not to leave her. She passed away at my side a little over an hour later. While I was, and still am sad three years later, I am glad that I didn't leave her there, without me.

I'm not sure what to say, I've gotten a little emotional with this going through my head again, but I hope the best for you and doggo.

She's gone... the opiate weakened her respiration too much. Despite elevating her and attempting emergency breathing for dogs... she's gone.

Damn, I'm sorry man.

Sorry dude. I still feel the sting from when Sparky passed. If you need to talk just lmk.

Pour your heart out Vyre. There's few times in life when a man should cry, but when they come don't worry about holding back.

I've lost enough of my animal brothers and sisters to know how bad it is. Time is what you need. Let me know if you need anything.

I feel like I'm having this discussion a lot recently but...why?

I mean, I personally don't cry much. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've cried in the past decade. But that's not because I'm holding back or "being a man about it." It's just not my natural emotional response in most situations even though I've been told my entire life that if I feel I need to cry, do so.

I've never really looked down on people -- men or women -- who cry at appropriate times. Loss of family, emotionally turbulent times, emotionally moving movie scenes or something.

But it seems recently I've seen a resurgence in the "men shouldn't cry" thing. I dunno. Sometimes I feel like I don't cry *enough*. I just get angry at ***and I know that isn't constructive.

I sat through my grandmother's funeral not sad, but angry. At just about everything around me. The priest, the family who set up the farce of a service, the supposed God presiding over the service. The weather for being bloody miserable and putting me to the test on a day which falls under the category of "only drive in this weather if you don't have any choice." The kind of weather that makes a normally three-hour drive take almost six.

Anyhow. Point is. "Angry" may have been a "manly" response to the situation, but you know what it wasn't?

Helpful. To anyone or anything.

Being able to shed a few years and get it out and move on is really underrated, I think. I wish I was capable of it more often.

I mean, look at the goofy "emo" nickname Nik has given me. Someone who has healthy emotional expression doesn't get in passionate fights about politics/religion with people on the forum of an aging video game.

Sorry to hear about your doggo :(

And now for something completely different.
