So I wake up this morning, about an hour ago, and my parents say to me "we're taking Foxy [my dog] to the vet on Monday at 5:40 [to have her put down]" and I was like.. great, wonderful way to wake me up. I mean.. I know that it's going to happen eventually, but I've just been hoping it would never come up that we would actually have to make the decision. I figured there would always be a way around it. I've never had anyone close to me at the time die, human or animal. Yeah I've had cousins, great-aunts, great-uncles, etc etc but.. they've never been close to me at the time, more like in another country or in another state and I haven't talked to them in a while. So it's going to be really hard, even though your probably thinking 'oh its just a dog.. get over it' I don't think it's just a dog. Also I have to work on monday from 4:30 to 9, I'm thinking I'll either try to get someone to work for me and tell them that I'll work for them next time if they ever need it, or have someone switch with me and I work on Tuesday which would really suck because it's the day before I leave for New York/Allentown. I was sort of hoping this whole thing with my dog could wait until after Thanksgiving, after all the holidays buttt I guess not.
Well I'm off to have a shower and practice driving a stick [-shift car]
