We decided that Buford was old enough now to start to try leaving him out of his crate when we are not home. You see, he's always been crate trained, for MANY reasons. I know some people think it's cruel, but for some pets, it's just the way it is (in my opinion, at least). We started leaving him out for little errands and then left him out when I went to work. And little by little he's gotten better. With the trip to Champaign we just decided to let him roam. Brett's dad graciously came to check on him; let him out, give him his meds. And Bu did great!!!!! No accidents in the house and nothing destroyed!!! I can honestly say that I trust him now!!! What a good boy. Look at those juicy lips, don't you just want to smoooosh them :)
For a while now I've had a dark cloud hanging over me. I cannot seem to shake it. I keep trying to stay positive but it gets ridiculous after a while. It's actually laughable. I feel so overwhelmed. I am praying that it's not Postpartum Depression creeping back up on me. I have had absolutely enough of that. But I do feel some of those same feelings again. How does one stay positive let down after let down after let down?
I finally got some stuff to get started on my new jewelry line. Yep, that's right, I'm starting my own jewelry line. I have been brainstorming and sketching for the past week or so and have come up with a few ideas that I can finally start to play with. I bought some vintage brass chain and some other little things. Hopefully soon I will actually be able to show you something I made with my own two hands! I say soon, but that could be a while! Wish me luck.
