Only doing revenges this year due to the animals, working on my house, and trying to finish the donor's requests!

((I took down a whole room of black, plastic tiles in 2 days //weeps))

So, the neighbor was mowing my lawn when I got back from the store and I was like, "Thank you for mowing my lawn, but why?"

"Gon rain tomorrow." Okay, then!

His name is Bob and he has been taking care of Blondie, aka "Smokey", and Bear, a black lab, but he told me the previous tenants SHOT THEM. He did not elaborate with what or if it hit them or what. I'm surprised Blondie is anywhere near here due to that, but as you can tell, he made himself at home.

On another note, a family friend may adopt 1-3 cats as she has a bunch of acreage on the mountain near us, but she has to convince her husband lol

The local swimming hole is called "Suck Creek" and I thought it was hilarious due to how bad it sounds. Apparently, there were whirlpools, eddies, and rapids that early pioneers/rivermen encountered on the nearby Tennessee River that were super dangerous so they named it...THE SUCK, thus Suck Creek //wheezing

Since the dam was built, there's no longer any whirlpools so people just swim there to keep cool.

Warm up doodle since I moved my computer into my house with no AC //WHEEZE

What song do you think represents your life the most right now.

Isn't this the second dumped animal you've been taking care of? what's going on over there?

So, the county I'm in has no laws against dumping animals and there's a lot of animals just roaming around here due to it. A lady up the street from me is trying to start a shelter, she has 20+ dogs on her property, but she has absolutely no funding to do so. My neighbor has 7 dogs, not sure how many are inside/outside. I saw another dog, looked like a great pyrenes, and a cat that looked similar to Lil Mama roaming along some roads near me just yesterday when I went to the store.

I have no idea what is going on.

Some jerk set off fireworks and scared Blondie off my porch, but he came when I called for him. My family friend has a large cage for her dogs, so we set it up and he went right in. He was CRATE TRAINED. When I tried to let him out this morning, he wouldn't leave the crate to go outside until my friend's dog went out because he was afraid I wouldn't let him back inside.

I may go to a county meeting if I can figure out when/where they have them.

Really sucky update, but apparently the county I'm in has NO LAWS AGAINST DUMPING ANIMALS. So, even though I brought it up, no charges can be given against the previous tenants.

On another note, Blondie's name is apparently "Smokey". His twin sister was sadly killed by a car because, lo, they were dumped. The neighbors neutered him in March, he has his shots, and they have been giving him flea/tick medicine, but they have 7 DOGS so Blondie has been outside this whole time. He is not house trained so we got a puppy pad to put in my family's friend's crate so we're trying crate training first IF he gets spooked again. I still need to go next door and see how much they want to take care of Blondie because, allegedly, he is his "favorite" and Blondie may have an ear infection. I really do not have the funds to care for him and the cats, especially since the kittens are eating more and Lil Mama is still getting sick even with medicine //WHEEZE

Meehgan stole the scoooter bike? Bad Meegan. Off to Tartarus u go ! (This sounded more funny in my head before typing it and reading tags/story of lost friends. Very sorry for your loss. Have not experienced grief like that but was in a line of work which saw mirroring things, do not know what can be said for comfort, but hopefully Meegan stubs her toes)

She tried to gaslight me when she stole it too. Like, she said her mom got it for her and I was like, "Really now? I'll ask your mom where she got it!" And she followed me all the way up her steps saying, "No!" Yeah, her mom was NOT happy with her and I got it back. Look at this bad boy. Our trio would ride this baby for miiiiles. I really want my pacific assault scooter bike back, but they're rare now ;_;

I appreciate the gesture! It's hard to comfort someone who's grieving, but I know letting people talk about them, unfiltered, is one of the best things one can do.

May we see a picture of little Dainty (you) with her childhood best friends? :)

We mostly played in the woods by ourselves, so we don't have too many pictures of us together but-

The whole crew. I'm in front in the Dainty blue and black jacket, Dylan B is in the red hoodie on the left, Lil Dylan is in the red hoodie on the right. What's funny is, my brother's name is also "Dylan" and both Dylan B and Lil Dylan had older brothers named "Tyler", it was quite the coincidence. More below:

He was trying to look like a goblin from Runescape, it was very dark green. My mom stopped him when it start to get muddy for obvious reasons //WHEEZE

Us as high schoolers at Dylan B's graduation party...I used to be the tallest then they outgrew me. How rude.

A private memorial for my childhood best friend was this past Saturday.

The thing about grief like this is the lack of other people who have experienced it. It's very isolating in a world full of people who mostly lost pets and grandparents. I do not have patience for what other's consider to be tragedies. A lot of my friends died of ODing, committing su*cide, accidents, cancer, etc so when my friend said he was "depressed that his fish died", it's like comparing pop-its to a nuke. It's not even in the same category, a completely different scale. And it just sent me into an internal rage to have that comparison made. People around my age, just gone. I expect older people to die. You kinda prepare for that somewhat in the back of your mind, but my 2 younger childhood best friends? Gone within 5 years of one another of different causes and leaving me, the oldest and last of the trio, behind? How could anyone comprehend that? It's a level of despair I would never wish upon anyone.

The absolutely audacity of these GUESTS trying to make me put the kittens back outside. I'm not going to throw these babies out when their original owner did just that! Like wtf??

Bonus ranting about these people below:

They also took my foam cushion for my bed, PUT IT ON THE COUCH, AND LET THEIR DOG GO ALL OVER IT. When I took it off and made my bed, THEY TOOK MY TOWELS and put on the couch and had even more AUDACITY to call my couch GROSS. It was free and they were the ones complaining that I didn't have one at all! It was obviously owned by a family before and just had marker marks!

I offer my house for them to save money while they are looking for one of their own, since they were my friends, and they complain about every little thing, just because it's not HGTV ready. They then said they didn't have any money to pay rent right now or help with the house, and you wanna know why? They've been acting like tourists this past week, even though one doesn't start their job until next month and the other hasn't had a job in months. I calculated that they spent over $500 this week alone going to all the tourist sites, driving an hour away to different towns, and staying at the REED HOTEL, which is $230/night. I AM SCREAMING. They also didn't help my dad. My dad was helping me work on the house and the husband just laid their listening to political commentary like??? You're making a 71 year old man with metal in his foot mow the lawn of a 1.36acre property with a push mower by himself after we said we all need to take turns? They keep saying things like, "Maaaaybe we'll just get an apartment", trying to guilt me into fixing the houses fast , aka using money I do not have, but then say, "They can't afford a storage unit". The absolutely gULL AHHHHH

WIP #2 woo

[daintydoily]

They're in the biting stage if you can't tell.

[daintydoily]

Apparently, Blondie has been staying on my porch and not going back to the neighbors. They have not looked for him either, which concerns me. My friends have fed and brushed him, but they put the responsibility of him onto meeeee.

He's extremely sweet, but I did not budget for dog food and whatnot. At least he's neutered //WHEEZE Neighbors weren't home so I'll try again on Monday when I move in with the kittens (Lil Mama will stay at my parents for the appointment and healing) and see what's the scoop.

[daintydoily]

My computer just did the horrible reboot cycle thing again and it broke my lineart layer 🥲

[daintydoily]

Can you make a video introducing all the kitties? :)

2 of the Tabby Triplets looks so similar I cannot tell them apart. I found an XS collar for a buck at the thrift to put on Lil Boy so I could tell on sight, but they're too small ;w;
