Sad and Happy

[Jennifer and Jack]

I don't know if this is even the right place to post this but since the reason for it is Jack I guess it is okay.  My health has just been horrible lately and I have not been able to take Jack for his long walks. We always walk miles a day, we stop and greet people, other dogs and play and sniff. Since November I have not been able to do this

I don't care for me but I care for Jack.. I love it so much, it makes me so sad that I couldn't do it. One of my friends recommended a long time ago to get a motor scooter like what I use in the stores so I could walk him.

 

I resisted so much the idea because I kept thinking I was going to get better but I just am not.. So I went ahead and ordered a scooter. It will be here today. I should be so happy because I want so badly to take Jack out, to go on our trails to walk and to play but I don't know if I can get past the humilation of a 38 year old women riding around in one..

 

I am trying to work my nerve up to do it. Jack deserves a walk and I deserve to enjoy  the pleasure of seeing him walk.

 

I just feel sad that my life has come to this. Hopefully it won't last and I will get better quickly... Now you know how much I love my baby.. I would rather eat poop than draw that kind of attention to myself.

 

wish us luck... we are going to go walking../riding

Thank you , I don't really know this women, she told me she better tell me privately before I get told publicly. That is what I thought too. I thought we could talk about anything... I am not asking for support for my sickness, I am sharing about how much Jack means to me and helps me.. I just am on a lot of prednisone and it broke my heart and made me cry because it wasn't my intention at all.

 

I just thought this was a great place to gush about our babies,, I never ever would want to hurt someone or make them feel sorry for me.. I think I have said a million times in my blogs how happy my life is in spite of everything, because of my doodle woodle.. .

Seriously?  I am sorry that someone here has made you feel bad about your posts.  My goodness, perhaps walking (or not walking in this case) in your shoes for a few minutes might change this person's mind about saying offensive things like this.  

I am new to this community and I won't get my Doodle until the end of May but I can attest to the fact that this is a warm, friendly place with lots of people who love their dogs and care about each other.  I felt that immediately upon joining this site.

Don't worry about that one person who needs a lesson from Cesar Milan about 'negative energy'.  Post away about your precious Jack and your future escapades with him tagging along side your AWESOME scooter!!

Jennifer, not to worry, if someone doesn't like your posts they don't have to read them. Problem solved. DK is great therapy, so if it helps you cope, who is anyone else to judge.

Ahh,  your convertible is so cute .... just like my little sisters, even the same color.  I know for me when she was diagnosed it was the worst feeling in the whole world because there was nothing that I could do about her illness.  The one thing that I could do though was be there to listen when she was having a rough time!  Some times you really do just need to vent .... I was designated as the "President of Pep Talks R Us" .  Anytime she was feeling down she would give me a call and I would do my best to turn her around!  So, don't ever feel the need to apologize for letting it all out! 

 

Glad you guys got out for a ride .... hopefully that marathon shopping trip is planned soon!

It looks like fun!! Does Jack fit in the basket?? hee hee!! Keep posting all you want!  It's everyone's choice on what they read or respond too.  How rude!!

Very brave of Jack to get on your scooter!!!!!  I think Allie would have had a heart attack! 

 

I don't really think you should give that person the benefit of knowing they hurt your feelings.  They must have very low self esteem.  Keep your chin up!  I hope you get better soon!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am just thinking if I had a scooter, where would I put Vern?? LOL. Looks like Jack is enjoying his new ride.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Oh Jennifer PLEASE ignore that ONE comment. We are your support group. We want to hear how you are doing, I want to hear so I know my prayers are being answered. Pooh Pooh on that cranky person.

[Jennifer and Jack]

I am going to go ahead and order one of those bumper stickers.. Thanks for making this fun!

 

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Love the photo Jennifer. Jack is a lucky dood!  Get better soon :)

seriously??? WTD is wrong with people?? If you don't want to read it, don't. I happen to love your discussions. You are a kind, thoughtful person who is obviously in love with her doodle, through that love you have helped doodles in need! Seriously??? Those are the kind of humans that I just don't have time for. This is a forum for doodles and their families to ask, blog, discuss whatever issues come about. Sometimes we humans need a place to share, vent or look for a human's hug when something effects our lives which in turn effects our doodles.

Please Jennifer - keep sharing!!! I might not respond to everything you write but you can be sure that I read every one of them!

 

Now that I vented  - I love your scooter! I love the fact that you now can do what you love so much which will turn, help you to feel better about yourself and paws crossed, that it will help you heal physically.

Enjoy your new wheels!
