Okay. I'm not an animal person. Not in the least. I count my cacti as my pets basically because they don't demand attention and if they forget that they exist for awhile they don't go and die on me. (I'm still a compassionate person though - just forgetful)
But I am going to write an update about animals. And why they are 'humans' too.
(except they're not. Science has proved this and as much as I don't listen to science, I will this time. Just once though)
Anyway. I find this really interesting. You hear that with people, when someone really close dies, they often seem to be permanently changed by it. Yes? *sees nodding heads*. Good.
Well. Our family (with the exception of me) are big dog lovers - Mum and Dad had Con since before we were born then she died when i was in primary school, then we had Presto who died a couple of years ago. Whilst we also had Presto we also had Annie (who we still have now) and then after Presto died we got Archie and after that we got Ruby. We currently have 3 dogs.
Anyway. Annie was still around when Presto died. She was never a genius and she wasn't really all that affectionate or anything. But she was a clever puppy and a friendly puppy. She looked up to Presto like he was the next messiah.
Anyway. Like I said, Presto died. Well.
Ever since Presto died, Annie has been changed. She's still a lovely dog, but she's managed to earn herself the nickname 'Dopey'. She constantly seems to be off with the fairies. She's....not the best of all things, she's not great with obedience.
Nothing particular to say. Just that I noticed this. So this is why Dogs are 'humans' too.
I have been feeling that maybe lately I have been presenting an apathetic front. Yes, I am still crazy jumpy a little wild but I think also apathetic. Well. I'm very sorry that I'm in the weirdest two weeks of my life and that I don't have a clue where my life is going after October 13 when I cease to get to school each day and have people who will let me stand in their circle and teachers to yell at me and tell me to study. This is why i'm apathetic. When I feel like i'm going to lose people, I start cutting myself off. Or maybe I start cutting them off from me. Doesn't matter. I withdraw. If you see me undertaking this process, feel free to slap me or hug me or glare at me, or maybe even just pretend that its not happening.
Ta.
OOOH. I got a very happy making email today. Best for ages.
