Roz made a video:

See you at the Rainbow Bridge pup.

So Max is gone. We euthanised him last night. We found out he had bone cancer in his shoulder area about ten weeks ago. Take into account that he's twelve, has a bum liver, is epileptic, and already has a weak, stiff backend there wasn't much that could be done aside from pain medication and spoiling him till he was ready to go. He literally was on his last leg.

I keep forgetting he's not here. I woke up this morning and looked to the foot of the bed to say morning to him. I went to leave for the barn and I thought "better take Max out first". I went downstairs and almost asked my mom if someone let him out. I went upstairs with food and turned around to tell him to stay downstairs cause he always follows and mooches left overs. I think it will be awhile before I say "I had a dog that..." instead of "I have a dog...".

The past couple of weeks he changed from his normal happy self to just pretty much the shell of Max. I think he only held out the last two weeks because he knew we all wanted to be with him for his final day (my parents were gone for two weeks with family in Newfoundland). He was ready to go last night and I can only hope that he's been restored to his younger self and he no longer hurts.

I'm gonna miss him like hell.

"My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today."

Do want.

I would be very very happy with one like this.

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:04:25 GMT

These are mostly from the last couple of months...taken mostly by Roz. =)

He likes to dunk his head (up to his friggen eyeballs!) in the river.)

Oh...and I dyed Max blue and painted his nails bronze.

The other day I posted some picture of my bruised leg and some post gelded horse pictures.

I bring you more pictures of my bruise...which is...party colored...

Zombie leg.

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:06:59 GMT

One of the horses at the barn my horse is at got gelded the other day. The day I went up they took the clamps off.

The lucky guy:

And that same day I fell off. My horse managed to kind of trip or step on my leg when I fell.

The pictures don't do the bruise justice. Should I be worried about this massive bruise? Its still a bit swollen and getting darker...(it happened Friday).

This song...it just makes me grin like an idiot even when I feel shitty.

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:24:03 GMT

I am almost 22 years old. I should be saving money...looking towards moving out or something, or a new car...or savings, or just being all around grown up and somewhat responsible...

BUT NO.

I want a pony instead. So I kinda bought a horse (and for this, I blame Roz).

So he's not broke to ride, although he lets us...so Roz needs to put up with training me. =D And for this she has my looooove.

As you can see...he's pretty chill.

Do you like karate? Uh...no.

So this is what he was bred to do...but apparently he sucked. Now he has to deal with me. Poor thing.

Too many dicks on the dance floor.

I haven't posted in so long, but no one reads it really so who cares (although I did get an anonymous "fuck you", nice eh? It did have a smiley face at least...). Anyways, I'd like to say that things are awesome and great and all that shit, but really now? Are ANY of my posts like that? Nah. I have however been sick, randomly, my stomach has decided that in the middle of the night its gonna cramp up hardcore and keep me awake for a bit. I've been anxious and had a week of like, lame panic attacky feelings pretty much everyday. Thankfully that has stopped a bit...but not the anxious feeling. Basically, I am crazy.

I've been working as the only groomer now for about a month (they fired the girl I worked with a few days before Christmas). My boss runs the new store and I basically run the old one. Its kind of lonely and I wish there was a cool groomer or assistant that I could be better friends with during work. It is nice however when I think of the fact that I am the MAIN groomer there and they rely on my to make sure the job is done and done nice. I even had one of our more difficult clients tell me that he would follow me with his mean little dog if I left because I'm good with his little baby.

I'm gonna post pictures of doggies now...

I'll add in that I've been feeling pretty damn pathetic and lame lately ~~and lonely and clingy~~.

But you know what helps?

They're gonna be at Massey Hall in April...but the cheapest tickets are 140$ and do I really wanna pay that much to see two kiwis? (yes). But who will go with me!?

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:26:49 GMT

*grumble*

I feel like I have so many things to do in regards to Christmas and what not and getting presents and yet no time or drive to do it. Although today I made some christmas cards that are kind of cute. I think I wanna start being crafty again. And by again...I mean, start.

More work pictures!

Pretty border collie before!

These are the before feet.

And then afterwards...its called cat feet.

After.

Shih Tzu before.

After.

I've started putting bows on all the female dogs I can. Its just too friggen cute.

I want to read The Dogs of Babel again but that means stopping and interupting my current Enders Game etc. binge that I am on. I'm reading Enders Shadow now...and Bean just annoys me. I want Ender back...FYI. I'm totally naming my dog Ender. AND his number one trick will be...Ender, which way is the enemies gate? AND THEN HE WILL LIE DOWN. (Therefore, the answer is "down".) Anyone that has read Enders Game will understand. It is dorky and cute, in my opinion.

=3

And thats when we'll explode.

So I haven't posted in ages. Whatev.

Anyways, I should post, but I'm fairly lazy and do not have much of anything to say or talk about (thats a lie...). So I'm gonna post some photos of my job. Therefore you get a few before and after photos of the dogs that I've groomed and styled. Huzzah.

So apparently posting will activate more comments. THREE OF THEM, which is awesome considering thats pretty much my whole friends list...hahaha.

I haven't gone swimming all summer. How fucking lame is that? Except maybe not so much considering I also haven't done anything to make myself look sexah in a bathing suit, although I'll be honest, I'm a lazyass and never do. *shrug*

Currently I spend most of my time at work, then watching House and thinking of more things I want to download...Kendall should have never shown me how to torrent things. He also never should have given me Spore...now I hardly leave my room. Aside from leaving to play Catan with him and Jacq. My nerd levels are higher then ever. I dont know if thats a good or bad thing but I dont really care.

I want to start riding again but I want money more...

Sharks are awesome.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:34:53 GMT

I'm gonna try to make more posts. Not better, just more. Also, I think I've made this exact same post.

=D

I'm waiting for a chance to Bel-air someone...

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:20:24 GMT

Alright, so Jacq told me I am required to make a post. Which isnt that bad considering I was planning too. Except, I'm lazy and the mood is lost. You see, this morning while driving to work I was all "You know what, I'm happy. I think, I mean, right now, I am currently content." So I was gonna make a post that was all YAY...but no. I changed my mind. Next time the mood hits and I'm compelled to make a post I probably won't then either...which is really a good thing cause usually I'm tempted to make a post when I'm feeling all emo and shit.

Anyways, I had my first real practical grooming test. I've had a few type of tests but this is the first one where I have to do everything including the trimming and styling of the dog. Luckily its a very good dog and didnt have an excess amount of fur.

Before:

After:

His name is Bow Bow and he is a shih tzu. This test is considered the "puppy trim".

So I'm gonna post some more shit but I'm lazy and I hurt my shoulder. Or at least my shoulder hurts, because I've been lazy and just lying in bed using the interwebs and watching House.

<3

I really really really hope he's my boomerang.

Thu, 29 May 2008 02:05:19 GMT

Myles told me that when he worked Tech Support they had to stop giving service to a few customers that would call in each night with the same problem. Turns out it was because they broke the same thing over and over again just so they would have a reason to call. Cause it was night and they were lonely and wanted someone to talk too.

I feel like that.

Oh Christ, I'm not that desperate. says:
Can I see you tomorrow so that I am not sad and lonely?

YOU BITCH

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

I mean to write "YO". AHAHAHHA that makes a difference

Fri, 23 May 2008 00:54:41 GMT

I've been feeling pretty shitty the past couple of days.

I fucking miss James. I miss my best friend and stuff.

I think, I'd even make an exception to the rules and not kill him if he were a zombie.

And well...I like this comic:

Some Delicious Copypasta.

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:42:26 GMT

For some reason, I've been wanting a rabbit for awhile. I dont think I will get one anytime soon. BUT I think they are sweet shit, and his name would be Bigwig...or Blackavar. =D Yay, Watership Down.

Also, I was looking at a nifty rabbit site and saw this:

Note: If rabbits don't get along they may play a little game one could call "I'm happier than you are." Usually when a rabbit flops near another it shows how comfortable it is with the other, but with rabbits that are not good friends it can actually be used as a mild insult. When used in this way it means something similar to the "I don't care about you" insult described later, but more like "I'm happy and you're a miserable excuse for a rabbit, so there."

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:43:49 GMT

Apparently, I am a vanilla seductress.

Also. I think I'm quitting. I'm done. Fed up. I'm a quitter. I give up and quit, I cut people out too. I just decide its easier to not deal with then to do it. How pathetic.

|| Jacqueline || says:
Will you be my boyfriend?
Melissa says:
YES
|| Jacqueline || says:
okay. Thank you. Now can i crawl into your lap and die of embarassment?
|| Jacqueline || says:
maybe cry a little?
Melissa says:
yeah sure.
Melissa says:
I'll cry too though.
|| Jacqueline || says:
okay. Thats fine. We'll make a little river.
Melissa says:
AND DROWN THE WHOLE WORLD
|| Jacqueline || says:
AND WHILE WE LOOKED SO SAD IN PHOTOGRAPHS
Melissa says:
THEY'LL ABSOLUTELY LOVE US WHEN WE SMILE

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:28:55 GMT

Post to follow...when I'm not such a lazyass.

Also. I got a random facebook message from a magician that saw me at my uncles store this one time. Nifty. I still hate facebook though.

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:19:25 GMT

I think I'll buy a computer this week. I have money to spare, its not like I'm moving out anytime soon. Also, for the same reasons, I think I'll start pestering Dania about part boarding her horse. I would have something to occupy my time for at least 3 days of the week. Granted I was gonna do that anyway.

Thomas is back again after spending a week with the guy. He's not ready. So now he's back and he has tons of toys and beds that came with him. Hopefully we'll just keep him at the clinic till I can have him. =D

I'm petsitting this weekend. Should be okay...probably lonely. I'll probably end up upset staying alone in the house.

In other news. I feel pretty low. Not like super upset, more just pissed off and unhappy. I feel like I started back up where I was the last time this happened. Which means that perhaps I didnt really get over it and maybe was expecting it? Be prepared for some actual emo post time in the near future. I'm just never around the computer when the moment hits. Also, I find myself stock piling the emotions until I'm ready to do the big ole ugly cry alone...or with Jacq/Kendall/Sarah.

edit: Thomas picture cause I don't think I've put him before.

Want.

I think thats it.

Oh wait, I just learned that when I was born (I Just) Died in your Arms Tonight (Cutting Crew) was the number one hit that day. Todays actually my brothers birthday (James said we should go in on a gift for him but that was before he was all "CRUSH YOUR HEART"). So I was lame and got him a giftcard.

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:45:50 GMT

Saturday. Thomas (the cat at work that I adore and want) went to spend the weekend with his possible adopter.

Sunday. James told me he's thinking about breaking up with me. I guess I didnt react properly cause now I guess we are. Isnt it illegal for someone to break someones heart more then once? Whats the rules on that?

Monday. Thomas came back, the guys not ready yet for another pet. Makes me love that cat more. We're both alone.
