Do you know how many dogs I’ve met that get scared or anxious around men because in their previous home men hit them? A lot, and they are very protective of the women who have adopted them now.

Men who are violent towards women are often violent towards animals as well. They think we’re all chattel. If a man wants you to choose between your dog or cat or him, dump the guy. Those animals will love you for the rest of your life, loyal and true.

Actually, I have something to add.

The other day I saw a story where a woman was asking why her dogs had suddenly started growling at her boyfriend whenever he was in the same room as her son.

And my immediate thought was ‘that boyfriend has hurt the kid somehow.’

Spoilers: that was exactly the case.

Trust ur dogs when they say something is off.

The first time my sister came to visit, via plane, after I got my dog, pupper growled at her and wouldn’t go near her for the first day. Next visit was by car (two day drive)and pupper LOVED my sister. They snuggled and played and none of us could figure out why the change. We thought maybe the scent of my sisters cat had lingered on her clothes, making that first visit a rough one. Whereas when she came by car, the scent had had time to wear off. Well that was partially true…

Fast forward about six months when I went north to visit my family. My sister walked into my parents’ house and pupper ran to greet my sister. Stopped dead in her tracks and started growling and barking. Hackles raised, full protection mode. My sisters husband had just walked in behind her.

My precious puppy wanted NOTHING to do with him. She barked, growled, ran away, and sat between him and my sister. Y'all my dog had spent maybe a weekend a half around my sister but protected her like this was her flesh and blood.

Eventually, my sister filed for divorce on grounds of “Extreme and repeated mental, emotional, and sexual abuse.” Divorce was final in less than a month because her claims were substantiated.

Trust the dog, honey. They KNOW.

I’ve never owned dogs, but I used to work with horses (which are a lot like big dogs).

There was this one horse I worked with named Tonto. He was a doll. He followed me like a puppy, snuck treats out of my pocket, he was the sweetest thing. We were practically inseparable.

A guy I was considering dating came to visit me one day, and Tonto wanted NOTHING to do with him. Normally well behaved, he shoved himself between us and would NOT let this guy near me. He was stomping, acting really aggressive, and tried to bite the guy. This horse was practically dragging me back toward the barn. At that moment, despite being like, 17, I knew something was up, and ultimately things didn’t pan out for guy and me.

A year later I found out he had lied about his age (he said he was 18 but he was actually 27) he was arrested for sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl.

TRUST THE ANIMALS.

I get it. I’m already a chubby woman. A lot of fluid retention due of my cirrhosis is going to make me look pregnant. And that happened gradually last week from a UTI. Can’t pee, can’t expel fluid. So when I went to the doctor yesterday, I wasn’t that offended when an old lady asked me, “When’s your baby due?”

(That doesn’t mean my self esteem didn’t crumble a little, but I digress.)

I was nice and explained to her that I had a health condition that caused fluid build up, and my UTI worsened the problem. 

What DID bother me was the woman’s comment after my explanation: “I bet you wish you were pregnant instead of having a UTI.”

...

......

Bitch.

You don’t know me. You don’t know all the health problems I have, have had during my life. Why would you say something like that? A urinary tract infection goes away within a week or so. A pregnancy is a 9-month-long commitment that puts your body through MANY changes and inconveniences. I assume you knew this because you’ve probably had babies when you were young. Why couldn’t you have just smiled and accepted my explanation? Like a polite person would?

Let me make this clear, y’all. I love kids. I was upset (depressed) when I realized having blood-related children is out of the question for me. It took me a good cry and talking with my dad to help me come to terms with this truth. Going through with a pregnancy? It could kill me. I doubt my heart could take the extra strain.

And also, I know what it’s like to be young -- a woman in her early 20s -- and having to take care of a sick mother. It’s stressful. It can impact you own health. There was a Christmas when *I* had to go to the ER four times! Because of my irregular heartbeat. (And this was way before my health worsened to what it is now. Only reason I haven’t been to the ER in years -- *knocks on wood* -- is because of better medication and less stress.) Even though I had my dad to help, no one knows how hard it is on caretakers until they have to go through that. 

If I had a kid who was healthier than me, that is NOT what I’d want for them. 

So, fuck you, old lady in the waiting room. Fuck you for bringing all these old, tucked away feelings back to the surface. I already have a lot on my mind; I didn’t need to dwell other old material.

I recreated this house I found on the Gallery (the exterior colors aren’t final) and gave it brand new landscaping. I wanted it to be somewhat surrounded by ponds (that are really two oddly shaped fountains), and instead of editing the original house, it was easier to start from the ground up. There are LOTS of plants outside; it’s the most landscaping I’ve ever done for a build. I learned a lot of tips from lilsimsie on Youtube, and I like that it feels hidden away from the rest of Sulani. That’s what Deacon would be looking for: a secluded getaway house.

I guess the next step is decorating the interior.
