Geez girl. What a crazy scary day.
I'm glad your dad, your nephew and you are all OK.

good luck on the lessons

You put a sleeper hold on a dog? I probably would've just tried to drown them with a garden hose.

BTW, the jules winfield gif is the anti small talk smiley.

That's a bit for one day, don't you think? Glad everyone is good, and the cops didn't get stupid with the dogs. Emphysema is a really hard thing to judge in people. I've unfortunately seen people in all varying stages of the disease, and it rarely presents the same. So many factors come into play, but noticeable hypoxia makes it a little scarier.
You are fortunate indeed to have a father like him. Wish I did.
Hope everything else is going ok for you. I kinda miss seeing you around

Your dad looks like Santa Claus! I mean, like Edmund Gwenn in Miracle on 34th Street (my favorite Christmas movie). Such a wise, sweet face! He sounds like an awesome dad.

That was a scary story. I am so glad you (the humans and the dogs) are all okay. I have to say that reading this earlier in the day may have influenced me when I was faced with an awkward question and a gut reaction today. If you want all the silly emo deets they are in my blog.

I miss you, baby!

Wow, that must have been so traumatic for all concerned. I'm so glad you're all ok

I wish I had such a good daddy but hey, the drink has got him by the balls, there's nothing I can do about that.

I hope life is treating you well, I miss you.

Thank you so much. I really needed the encouragement and advice. In truth, my gut has been telling me to just keep the dogs apart, whether or not I am the only adult. They do have dominance issues with each other. This is the ONLY dog that my dog has issues with. But my dog CLEARLY has issues with him. My dog is a Golden Retriever. If he has issues with ANYBODY it has to be serious. And if he gets into a serious fight with a German Shepherd, I don't think he would fare well. So thank you for saying what I was afraid to admit to myself. I know my friends will think I am overreacting to the point of ridiculousness, but I think I will have to live with that. It isn't about me and them. Or even "my way" and "their way" of dog rearing. It is about the dogs' natures and the fact that they both want to dominate. Or, more correctly, that my dog does not want to be her dog's bitch.

Again, thank you.

How is your pops today?

That's precisely why I love you so Baby don't take shit of of no one and I like it
I don't take that kind of thing personally. We all have shit to deal with on a regular basis. With everything I have been dealing with as of late, I'm lucky if I even get a chance to answer my phone. Don't sweat it, we;re still good

you bake an awesome cake Sue!

HOLY CATS! That sounds like it was a pretty intense few minutes for everyone involved

I'm glad that your dad and nephew ended up alright in the end, that could have turned south in a hurry. Hypoxia is not pretty, and I'm sure it's gotta be really very difficult for the both of you. I know seeing my parents sick was very, very trying for me and I'm sure it's gotta be the same for you.

As far as not paying more attention goes, I have a feelin' that your dad doesn't give it any thought at all. You've been an awesome daughter to him, and I'm sure your support and love means the world to him now.

Sorry that I've not been by here a little more regularly in the last couple of months...too much going on in the RW myself, and it seems like it's always a struggle to keep up with stuff when life is that way. Anyway, just wanted to say "hey!"
