10:04 am: Real Life rears its ugly head, and fic progress update

I'm putting the first part here because I keep getting 'Are you stupid?' looks and various forms of "You do know she's like six hundred in dog years, right?" from my mom and friends for the past month and a half.  I really need to get a journal for RL stuff.  Feel free to skip it.  I just needed to get it off my chest without getting The Look.

I've had my baby, Nikki, for ages and ages and now things aren't looking so good.  Nikki's ancient in dog years.  I know this, I really do, but...She's my baby, damn it!  Just a few months ago she was outside playing with in the snow and acting like puppy and now she's just...I don't know how to put it into words, fading I guess is the best way to put it.  

The vet sort of gave me this pitying look and offered to put her to sleep.  I violently rejected the idea, but now I'm not so sure.  I know a few people who have put old pets to sleep, but this is the same dog was with me in my first car wreck, my first major break up and there to cuddle up next to me while I cried my eyes out, she was with me when things went to shit with my father.  She's been here with me for everything and I can't let go.

But at the same time, I'm wondering if I'm being really selfish because I can tell she's hurting.  But the idea also feels like murder because she is my baby.  Ever since I got her, I took her to Wendy's once a week with me to get Jr Bacons, and we'd drive around while listening to crappy music and then walk through the park for a change of pace from the neighborhood walks.  But starting a few months ago, she can't stand being in the car and actually threw up before we got out of the neighborhood on the way to the vet, and she's never been motion sick before.  She used to love being in the car and barking her yips at other drivers and scamming biscuits from bank tellers.

I don't know what to do.  I really, really don't.

*takes a deep breath*

*calms down*

Okay.  Okay...

Chapter Six of SE is roughly half done, but I might have to cut the latest bit and redo it as it's refusing to go the way I want it to.  This muse is occasionally taking trips to the future and binged on chocolate a couple of days ago, hence I have their first kiss written and some of the lead up, but not much extra stuff I can use for this chapter.

My muse for Snapshots is skipping through time again.  I have stuff for later, but the next snaphot is still in its rough outline form with bits and pieces.  Connections is doing the same thing, but I haven't been posting that in order to begin with, so there will be one from that verse later today, just not the follow up to 'A Furry Perspective' but something that comes earlier in the time line.  The follow up to Furry will be split into two pieces, I think, with one from each universe.

The immediate follow up to Unfulfilled Wishes is almost done, so that will be up tonight or tomorrow.  I also have another FF/HP bunny I'm posting right after this I most likely won't be touching again anytime soon.  If anyone feels the urge to play with it, go right on ahead.  Quite frankly, I'm disturbed by it.  It interests me, I just can't write it without getting the willies because of Side Effects.

I have a couple of little one shots in the works, one of them is a sequel to one of my fic reacts and is currently titled Living Family Portrait, that I'm working on.  I should have those up sometime in the next two weeks.

I think that's everything.  See guys in a few minutes.
