OK, I have made a decision about the dog. I am not gonna get it. I would love to have another dog but I am gonna wait a little bit. Spock is 9 years old and I think he has a few more years in him. She is adorable but I had also decided long ago not to get a puppy but an older dog that needs a home more than a adorable pup everybody will want. Also I took Spock for a walk on Sunday and when we got home it was so quiet and peaceful and I started thinking that I wasn't ready to give that up and start cleaning after a small pup and house training again and all that stuff. I am very proud of myself for making this decision, because I always tell people they need to think about the next 15 years when they want to get a puppy and if they are willing to make this commitment. I am also hoping to start college and I need to see how that will work out and the time I have to spare... Now I am justifying to myself why not to get the puppy...

well I talked about my son visiting his dad the other day, well that went well... not really.
he told me he would pick him up around 5 and have him for dinner. at 6:30 I sent him a text message and asked where he was, then he was stuck with his family in another town where they were at a birthday party so I just said that the boy was hungry and I would just have him for dinner and he could pick him up the next day if he wanted,that would be Sunday. I told the boy his dad wasn't coming and for the first time since he moved out the boy cried and wanted to see him. his dad called and they talked and I heard him saying he would pick him up early. I mentioned a football practice but the boy was so upset he cried that he didn't want to go to practice so he came at 9 in the morning to pick him up and he missed practice. but I used Kolinahr and I am ok with it all, he was very guilty about it and I don't think this will happen again.

anyway I took the dog for a walk and went alone to a cafe and really enjoyed it, it is different to be alone at a cafe than to be alone at home for some reason.

well today my son is sick and he is sleeping right now and I am drinking my coffee and listening to the radio.

going to the theater tomorrow, hope my boy will be ok, it's a children's play my brothers girlfriend is in. he adores her so I really hope we will make it.

    You've been through a lot in a fair amount of time, and have handled it all marvelously.

    I have an older cat and some younger cats and they give him a hard time, too. Not all the time, and the cat isn't feeble, but as far as giving Spock quality of life, this may be the best decision for now...not always fun to make those semi-hard decisions.

    You are such a good parent, Helga. I think you do an amazing job of making sure he is well, and balancing a little time in between for yourself.

    Take care. Enjoy your coffee.

    Glad to hear you made a decision.I agree that taking care of a dog is hard work, but I guess it somehow pays off in the end right?
    I think your right about it bieng different drinking coffee in cafe rather than at home, I can't explain it but I feel time flys by when I'm in a cafe or resturant, you just look at the clock and say :OMG! Is that the time?LOL!
    Hope you Enjoy your coffee.
