We lost a Loved Friend today.

Aurora was put to sleep today; she was over 17 years old and had really declined in health for the last month. She was one of the main reasons Pauline and I got together.

This pic is her on my desk in Sept 04 acting like she owned it just like she thought she owned everything else, as you can see she showed her respect she had for me, if she wasn’t bitching at me or sticking her tongue out at me I wouldn’t know who she was.

Not a good day here, but life will go on but I will miss her and I know Pauline will as well.

Aurora

My baby is no longer suffering, but that is little comfort. I still miss our Randi and I sure didn’t want to go through it again, especially so soon.

I love you Aurora & I hope I made you happy.

Aurora

Bad Monday

Monday started out ok, for a day off. We went and did our errands that we had. Things were fine until we got back home.

We came home to a few messes that Aurora had. We cleaned her up and Harold took her outside since it seemed as if she was going to get sick. It was horrible, she couldn’t stay standing and fell down. =( I’ve been crying on and off all day since.

We know that it is her age and her time, but I keep wondering if there is anything else we could do. So Harold called the vet and we are taking her in later today. If it time for her, we’ll do it on my day off Thursday. I know it is selfish, but I want a few more days.

When it was time for Randi, she had a blank stare, won’t meow, purr or give any indiction that she was with us, would move from one area to another and won’t sleep. Aurora is still meowing at us, growling when she wants to be left alone, as of Sunday, she was still looking at us when we eat for some of our meat. Not that she is eating much at all. It is a nibble here and there….occasional lick of water or cat milk that we got her.

I’m torn, I don’t want her to suffer anymore, but I don’t want to let her good yet. Like I told Harold, this sucks. =(

Another Encounter

If you had read Harold’s post a few weeks ago, you know of the issues we’ve had with a local homeless guy, who is not all there.

Since then, Harold has gotten me my mace and I make sure I have easy access to it when riding.

I rode into to work Saturday and guess who I saw? That same sorry SOB. I saw him about 20yds out. I slowed down, got my mace ready and saw him do the same shit. Instead of riding on the his right, he moved to my right, and then started to tuck his head down and aimed for me when he was about 5-10 yds out I yelled “You try to run me off the road one more time motherf****r and I will mace your sorry ass!!!!”

His head came up real fast, stared at me, and put is hand out as if to say okay and moved away from me. I called Harold when I got to work, he was pissed off. He called the cops and they sent an officer out to talk to Harold. This one actually took a report and filed it. He knew exactly who we talking about.

The officer said he couldn’t arrest him but next time I shouldn’t even warn him, just mace him.

Harold talked to our lawyer he did say that the officer was incorrect, because when he aims for me and even when he misses it is assault.

So next time, that mother is going down. We’ve warned him and I’ve warned him by myself, so now he is free game. We haven’t done a damn thing to him and yet he keeps trying to run me off the sidewalk. He must have a thing for female bikers, cuz he sure in heck hasn’t tried it to Harold.

I was so aggravated and depressed Saturday that it actually helped me that I yelled and stood up to him. It got some of my aggression out……which I may get into later.

It was busy as heck at work that night, but we still got a lot accomplished so that was cool.

New Pictures

I put these up a few days ago, but didn’t get around to doing an entry here: Aurora & Reggie and the new color of our bedroom.

I’ve been keeping busy, work is good for that. I’ve been doing good on trying to keep my mind of Aurora not doing too good.

I did have a break down tonight. She made an uncontrollabe mess and Harold was cleaning her up when I got home. We didn’t want to, cuz of her weakened condition but we had to bath her bottom half. What really got me, was that she wasn’t trying to put up a fight. So afterwards I held her into a towel and lost it. She pretty much let me.

The only things that give me some sort of hope is that she licks chez, ate a little chicken last night, drinks a little tuna and is still drinking water………but it is so, so little on the amounts. She is still “bitchy” when comes to demanding attention, especially from Harold. That just helps to keep things “normal” feeling.

Alright, I don’t feel like loosing it again. So I’m going to all it a night.
