Here are a few of the MLer replies. I'm not going to attach names or SNs to them because that feels weird.
I'm always amused at the use of all caps. LOUD NOISES! J, I'm happy that things with puppo are doing better, and have been impressed with the grace in which you've handled everything else. You are awesome, my dear.
I am so glad that you are getting good news J! You deserve to have some great things to focus on in hard times.
Well, I'm sure that being worried for a loved and cherished dog does not take away any feelings for one's deceased mother. The human heart is capable of many feelings for many people/loved ones, and seeing as how J's heart is one of the biggest out there, there is no need to worry--- there is room for everyone in there. I'm glad that you're getting some well deserved good news. You've been through so much. ♥
J - I'm so glad Lucy is doing better. I know it's been a rough week and it's wonderful that you're getting some good news for a change. I know you have a really supportive and understanding family who loves you and would do anything to help you out (as all family should be!), but if you need anything we can provide from a distance, let me know!
You're handling all of this amazingly well, J. Everyone grieves in different ways, and you can never make everybody happy with how you handle certain situations. If Lucy's health is keeping you going at this point, GOOD.
WTF. How is it anyone's business how you are grieving for your mother? Or because your mother died you can't celebrate the good health of a pet?
I don't understand your cousin's reasoning behind the comment!
bc her cousin is a snàtch dragon. with a stripper name.
My aunt is a major hippie. Like she has her own weaving loom and is in the mountains at a weaving retreat right now kind of hippie. So I totally think of it as a hippie name, but it is kind of stripper-y.
1) I am now curious about the stripper name. 2) I am glad Lucy is doing better. 3) Your cousin is a giant dickbag 4) I <3 snatch dragon and am laughing uncontrollably.
I agree, Imoan. My first response was all FUCK YOU, I WILL KICK YOUR STUPID ASS AT THE NEXT REUNION, but then I got the swearing out here, and was able to be all mature and above it on FB
She sounds like a raging bitch. Glad people chimed in on your behalf. I'm also really glad Lucy is ok.
I am too. I have been really worried about her and I'm one of those crazy dog people who thinks of their dog as a kid, so it's been an incredibly stressful week/weekend.
