I am so tired, I can't believe I even have the coordination to type. But I just need to vent..
This past week, everything has screwed up.
I found out what is wrong with my knees (Of course I had to learn it the hard way) and it turns out that I will need surgery if I ever want to swim or run again without my kneecaps slipping out of place and hurting terribly. It's uncanny, but I have the exact same problem with my knees that Ripley has with his. It is unimaginably painful when the kneecap slips out. Anyone who has dogs with patellar luxation, give them a big hug for being such troopers. I don't know how Ripley lives with it.
Also, I have stopped raw feeding. Hopefully it's temporary, but I doubt it.
My parents have gone berserk, Dakota's runny poo has returned, and I just had to stop something before I went completely insane.
My schedule has gotten to busy and family problems have gotten so overwhelming that spending an hour a day preparing food for them is something I just cannot do or afford anymore.
Whenever I am seen putting meat in the bathtub, it starts a huge family fight, always ending with my parents threatening to sell "those damned dogs" and me locking myself and my dogs in my room for the rest of the day.
It just isn't worth it anymore. I am upset about it and I feel bad that I had to stop the one thing that was helping Ripley's weight, but I would rather feed him the second best thing, and devote my extra time to trying to work out the family problems.
This isn't really a vent, it's more like a whine, but it is an explanation for everyone (especially Willow, you've been such a big help to me during all of my raw feeding troubles ) who was wondering why I've stopped feeding raw.
