I have been remiss

[rahirah]

I haven't been posting because I've been feeling down lately, and it all seems like too much effort. I miss Sam. I miss Cuervo. I've been thinking about getting another dog. I miss having a dog more than I thought I would. There are all kinds of good reasons why I should not do this, and yet I find myself browsing adoption sites and going out

:hugs: I hope you feel better soon :)

And I thought the new DW had a lot of genuinally great moments, but the pacing overall dragged a bit. It seemed a bit self-indulgent to not cut it down to 45/50 minutes like all of the other season openers were

I do already like the 11th Doctor much more than the 10th though, and I thought he found his feet in the role a lot quicker than DT did in early season 2, but then DT's Doctor never really did grow on me quite honestly. I nearly always found his comic moments quite irritating

Yeah, this wasn't a story that needed extra time to tell. But I did like a lot of the bits, so I'm overall hopeful.

I know when I lost Nikki, I only lasted a week before I had to get another kitty. And then I had to get him a friend. :-)

Missing a pet can be horribly depressing. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree that I think Matt can grow into the role and make it his own, and I also agree about the companion crush. That's why I ended up loving Donna so much. She loved the Doctor, too, but it was a grown up, best friend love, not starry-eyed crushy love.

I look back fondly at Barbara and Zoe and Leela and Liz and Nyssa and Tegan and all the other companions that did not have a crush on the Doctor. *g*

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. *hugs*

Thanks. :)

Honestly, I think it's easier to bear up to "real" problems with grace and fortitude. I mean, something tragic happens, you deal. You stub your toe... Mommy!!!
:D

Thanks. :)

Sorry to hear things, are so rough for you Barb. Hives are a b*Tch and half. We have had bad and good news here. My grandfather is getting worse, but I finally won my disability after nearly three years !!!
As for getting a dog, have you thought of maybe getting a smaller one ? A miniature poodle or maybe a yorkie ? Papillons are excellent dogs, and are a bit more like cats. Or you could get another siamese, a young one that will bond to you as Cairo has to Wildrider. If you get a talker, then the house won't be as quiet, or sound as empty. Morgan and Lilitfh filled that hole for me, when my siamese passed away ten years ago.

I'm not really a big fan of miniature dogs - I like my dogs to be dog-sized. *g*

Cairo and Silly might have a different opinion on that subject. They could actually be around a dog that is smaller then them, and they can boss around more easily. And anyway smalls dogs think they are large any way. Even Papillons think they are big dogs. Even my 30 pound papillon thinks he is a huge dog. And it's nice to actually be able to carry a dog when it need's to be done. If your not much for small dogs, how about medium size, around 25-30 pounds, that way they still big enough to walk on their own in safety. But if need be, you can carry them. Shelties and cockers are about that size, they won't be too much bigger than Cairo, and he could still boss them around. Like Higgins and Lilith will do to Morgan.
