Moi-I think they get pretty rough sometimes. I'm not sure I'd want to go. XD

*hugs* Cats are pretty tough, I'm sure he's fine.

Awww. XD Lovey-dovey dog. Max just wants his armpits rubbed. All. The. Time. XD I've discovered most dogs like that. Everything's fine as long as they're getting their pits rubbed. *rolls eyes*

Oh my gosh, you're just too nice for your own good.

Just call me if someone's trying to kill you. XD I'll handle it. I mean, I'm really nice too but I turn into an animal when I get cornered. You can't think about it, you just have to act.

Tam-XD I'd pay to watch you elbow someone in the gut. That would be cool. *hugs*

I saw her working knots out, which was pretty cool 8u

This cat wasn't. He looked really bad. I hope someone took him in or if he was sent to a shelter, he gets the help he needs and gets adopted.
It's not fair if this little cat gets abused and then dies.
And people always say "Life's not fair \8u/"
Well, life can go fuck itself Bu

He is a lovable dog. He's also dumb and smart at the same time. Like we trained him to sit, but I can either say "Sit!" or just point down and he sits.
Unfortunately, when I point at him and tell him stuff, he just sits.

Me: You stop all that barking >8u/
Hyde: -sits- 8P
Me: >>

He also think he's owed food if he sits.
Like if I have a cookie or something in my hand, he runs up to me and sits xD

My Hyde likes his chest rubbed/scratched xD
He'll lie down and close his eyes when I do it.
When I stop, he looks at me like "I didn't tell you to stop >BP"

Since people have been mean to me my whole life, I know how bad it feels, so I try not to do it to others.
But I also have a lot of pent up rage inside me because of it.
I can usually control myself, but when I get upset, all I want to do is punch and kick the shit out of something xD

Moi, get a darnit doll, or one of those dolls called a fit, which is made to be pitched.

I wouldn't hurt a doll 8,u
I would punch and kick a punching bag...or the ones you can punch and kick...Not sure if that's still called a punching bag xD

I don't think I could hit a darnit doll. But I think pitching a fit would make me laugh and make the anger go away. They're little poofy things made of yarn, so they don't hurt stuff.

Moi-It's hard to accept that life isn't fair for animals. They're so innocent we just want to protect them. I don't even like watching those wildlife shows where the animals are killing each other. I feel so bad for the one that gets eaten even though I know the predator has to eat too.

XD I guess that's better than him running around like a bull in a china shop. My first Great Dane, Baxter, was hyper and moved around a lot which wasn't safe with his whip-like tail. XD My dad was constantly getting his you know where hit and he also bumped my hutch that I stored pretties in all the time. He broke a few. :/

Awww. Max thinks he deserves a treat just because. XD So you've got it pretty good.

XD We have a joke in our family where we talk for the animal and say, "I'll give you three hours to quit that." They think we have all day to pet them.

I understand, but you're not mistreating others if you're defending yourself. I think you'll feel better if you work on being assertive. I've been feeling worse lately too. I think I've been trying so hard to be a better Christian and, quite frankly, trying to be perfect that I guess I'm not getting my feelings out. When they finally come out I explode.

I guess I'll get being a human right by the time I'm 80. XD

Tam-My aunt has one of those darnit dolls. My mom thinks they're crazy little things. XD And I said if I was that angry I'd need more than that doll.

Tam: I'm the type of person that if handed a bat and told to smash stuff, I'd do it, but I'd feel bad afterwards because someone made all that stuff and I destroyed it.

Yeah, it's the same for me. I mean, I understand how animals are.
And it irks me when someone screws with an animal and the animal attacks them and people are like "OH MY GOD THAT'S A DANGEROUS BEAST WE NEED TO KILL IT!"
Yeah, it's totally the animal's fault it attacked an idiot who was messing with it Bu
You poke a bear with a stick and get mauled - that's your fault.

Awww xD
My Hyde used to wag his tail and just slap Saya in the face and she'd just stand there ._.
But they both had tails that curled up.

These dogs are spoiled 8u

I told Hyde "If I was dying, you'd still want pets wouldn't you Bu" because I was exhausted from mowing and he just kept nuzzling my hand xD

I know. But say someone once punched me in the face - it scared and hurt me.
So while I would be about to punch someone in the face, I'd remember how upsetting it was and it'd make me hesitate and not want to do it.
I acknowledged my empathy as being bad because it keeps me from doing a lot of things.
While it's a blessing, it's also a curse.

I've learned that being the super best Christian is not possible.
People are imperfect and trying to be is meaningless and will drive you nuts.
I know because it nearly drove me nuts xD

Yeah. I remember how being hit feels and don't like hitting. But deer really are just jerks. At least the males.

Wait, you're out here hitting deer 8u?

I talked to my dad about hunting.
Having Native American ancestors, he taught me that if you plan to kill an animal, you need to use as much of it as you can.
He said that's what our ancestors did.
They didn't kill just for sport or fun - they killed to survive.
I talked to him about me going hunting and he said I could never be a hunter.
I asked why and he said I don't have it in me to kill anything - especially an animal.

I actually was playing the game Fallout New Vegas and I came across some starving animals on a farm.
The owners had all died and the animals were left to starve.
I looked up online if there was a way to feed them and people said no and said it'd be best to just kill them. That was the only humane thing to do.
So I did. I killed the animals and even the babies.
I legit teared up killing animals that don't even exist xD

Moi-I probably would too if it was nice stuff. Otherwise, I'd probably reason with myself that it was headed to the landfill anyway. XD

Exactly! This one evil little boy used to come by and throw rocks at my dog years ago. I didn't know it until I caught him one day and then everything made sense, I'd wondered why she hated him so bad. I told him if he ever did it again I'd let her loose and let her get him. XD To my knowledge he never did it again. I may have also told him I'd beat him but I don't remember, it sounds like something I would do. XD I know I couldn't have done those things legally, but I wanted him to believe that I would.

XD That helps. Great Danes have long, thin, hard tails. They really hurt.

That's no lie. XD But I'd rather they be spoiled than mistreated.

At least Hyde was honest with you. XD

I know, I have it too, just not for human creeps. XD For animals-always. *nods*

I know but we're supposed to try. I don't know, I think I just need to get better at taking the forgiveness that is freely offered. It's like I try not to mess up so I don't need forgiven. XD

Don't feel bad. I can't hunt either. I'd have to be starving to death and even then I don't know if I could.

I would have too. That's just awful.

I worry about that kind of thing, like if an old person dies in their home will anyone find out before their pets starve to death?! I try not to think about it.

Tam-Being hit is no fun. *hugs* Not that I've been hit much, but I can imagine. The couple of times my parents spanked me when I was little hurt my feelings so bad. XD
