Not much to say, just wanted to get that last entry off my page since I'm no longer dating said geek. I chose to end it for my own reasons, so please no "I'm sorry to hear that"s because I'm not sad over it. Sad over the loss of a friend perhaps, but not sad over calling off something I wasn't feeling.

That is all, continue on with your deviousness.

Also, my birthday is friday...I would like Zachary Quinto wrapped in a pink bow, a leopard gecko, and perhaps some oatmeal raisin cookies...

Okay, so long story short. My computer died, I freaked because I thought everything was lost. Someone wanted a decent chunk of change to wipe it and replace the OS. Best Buy wanted an even larger chunk of change just to see if my stuff was still there even though they thought it was all gone. I met a geek online, he said it sounded like it was all still there. He offered to fix it, we continued chatting for those lonely months I was without computer. I gave him the computer, he recovered my files and got it back to me. I'm now dating said geek and I'm finally back online. Woot! Just bear with me as I try to get through the hundreds of deviations I have, lol.

So, I started by uploading my adventures in haircoloring that you all have probably missed because I've been lax on uploading things.
Here's Pt.1 - [link]
And here's Pt.2 - [link]

I'm going to go through things now and find those few shots I took during that whole time period and upload some of them.

Now, for the update you've all been waiting for I'm sure. We no longer have our pup Dakota. He had to be put down due to the aggression he started showing towards me. We worked with him for weeks before we decided it was best just to put him down. Before you comment, let me say that it was not a dominance thing. A dominance thing we could have worked with. He would growl at me whenever I went to pet him, and you could just see the hate in his eyes. It wasn't even a regular thing, it came and went. One minute he'd be fine and happy, and the next he was a different dog. He was acting more like he was afraid of me and was warning me to stay away.

I don't even want to hear any of that, 'well there must be a reason for it, what did you do' crap. I would never, never hurt any animal in such a way that would cause them to fear me. I despise anyone who does.

Also, I know there are people out there who are going to say something about finding him a new home and yes, that was an option, but because he had turned so suddenly on me, the one who had spent the most time with him, we decided putting him down was the best choice. Even if he had went to a home where the people knew his previous situation, I would have felt guilty had he decided to bite someone. I didn't want him to become another statistic that german shepherds are dangerous dogs.

That's really all that's been happening. Or at least the biggest thing that has happened since I last updated. Nothing else really seems worth mentioning.

I would love to get another dog this spring, but at the moment my mom really doesn't want another one. My dad has been talking with her, and she is less adamant about it than she started, so there's a chance we'll get a new pup this spring. But, we'll see. If we do, I would like to get out to the humane society and adopt one, but my dad wants another GSD. I guess we'll see what happens when spring rolls around. I'll do my best to keep you guys updated.

And don't feel like you have to tell me how sorry you are about Dakota. I wrote this just so you guys would know what was going on. When the decision was officially made to put him down, I knew it was for the best, and I wasn't as sad as I would have been had he been hit by a car or something. Does that make sense? Basically that connection we used to have was gone because plain and simple, he was not the same dog.

Later

I haven't updated my journal in quite some time because I just haven't had much that I've wanted to update about. There are some major things I'll write about later, but for now I'd like to talk about a really awesome person on dA who could use a little help from anyone who can afford it.

Here's 's journal entry:

As some of you may know, my lovely ferret buddy Duncan hasn't been feeling too good for a couple of months now. He's been to the ferret specialist a couple of times now, and not even she seems to know exactly what the matter is. What is for sure is that he can't stomach his kibble anymore, and that his internal tracts are not functioning properly.

Duncan is now on a hand-feeding procedure, and gets a lovely luke-warm 'meat-shake', which contains Royal Canine convalescence support and A/D meats from Hills prescription diet. He gets fed three times a day, and seems to be doing good on what he gets. His stool however, remains odd.

A couple of weeks back his stool was really odd. In fact, it looked like urine, but it came out of the wrong hole so to say. The specialist Hanneke Moorman demanded to see him as soon as possible.

Tomorrow is another vet visit, and we're going to see what is up. I fear I have to leave him behind for examination.. or worse... but don't want to dwell on it too much.

Needless to say, this whole 'going to specialist' and getting special food for him is running me into the ground financially. I never like to admit it, but I need help with it. Duncan's veterinary bills are around 600 euro in the reds.. and tomorrow is another visit which won't be cheap.

I don't like to ask anyone for money... so I thought it might be a good idea to design a little pendant as a reward for donations. People can buy this pendant to help out, and are free to donate more money if they'd like.

If you feel you could miss a little money for this cause, please follow the procedure. And if you can't spare any money, perhaps you can help by spreading the word on this cool ferret pendant.

All the little bits will help people.

Pendants are $25 per piece, but if you wish to donate more that is also possible. Shipping is $5 for Europe and $10 for the rest of the world.

If you want to buy a pendant, you can send your donation through PayPal to my email address (graywolf_howl [at] hotmail [dot] com). Please put 'Duncan Donation' in the subject line.

The pendant can be found here; [link]
