Ring out the bells again like we did when spring began...
It's not even September yet, but it feels like it. It's still 90F+ every day, but today, it's cloudy and breezy. The kids are going back to school tomorrow. It feels like September.
Honey is dying. probably. She's going on eight or so now, and she's been overweight ever since she got spayed, which was - I can't count how many years ago. In the last week or so, she's been having accidents in the house, and for even longer now, she's had trouble getting around. She limps a lot of the time, and climbing up or down stairs or onto my bed - a matress on the floor - seem difficult for her.
Mom's trying to put her on a diet, but I think she intends to feed her something like once every two or three days? and that's not healthy. Regulating her food, maybe feeding her a certain amount once a day, and not letting her eat table scraps anymore would probably be best. Then again, Mom's also the one who shut Honey in the bathroom this morning and told everyone not to let her out - then she got mad at me when I kept Honey in my room, instead. Honey likes being in my room, and I told Mom that I'd clean up any mess she made. I just don't like the idea of shutting her in a room all day alone.
I'm ready to let her go, though, I think. As ready as I'll ever be, anyway. The saddest part of it isn't really losing Honey, it's the fact that Lucy grew up with Honey - we had Honey for a long while before we got Lucy, so Lucy's never been without her. They really love each other a lot, and that's the worst part of it for me. Lucy's going to be heartbroken.
I suppose it's a good thing that we have Bubba now, too. He won't replace Honey - for any of us - but at least Lucy won't be completely lonely. Lucy and Bubba get along really well, too, so I hope she'll be okay. I just really hope that Honey doesn't go through too much pain.
On brighter notes, I finally finished the index over at thelettersix (which is not a community anymore). It only took a couple of days, and now I'm in a writing mood (I think). So let's put on some energetic music - I'm thinking Shirota's 'Owari na Ki STAGE' - and get something done.
