STILL NOT DEAD
Posted 9 years agoHi. If anyone cares, I'm still sorta here. Just not really posting much. Maybe will post more. IDK.
I'm not dead!
Posted 11 years agoReally, I'm not.

Life and death
Posted 11 years agoPretty sure nobody reads these, but whatever.
Last week I had to put my 16 year old cat down.
Not because he was sick or dying, but because my stepfather didn't want him around anymore.
Backstory: Tiger is old, old cats meow for no good reason. Tiger meowed at night, woke stepfather up. Instead of doing the normal thing by going back to sleep, he sits and stews over how much he hates the cat and how he has to wake up in a couple of hours to go to work.
He didn't get enough sleep, he fell asleep behind the wheel of his big rig and drove it into a snow bank. Nobody injured, truck dented. But he could have died or wrecked the truck, blah blah blah.
skip ahead a couple of weeks, cat wakes him up again. he demands the cat must go.
Here's me left with the guilt that I must get rid of my cat, who I've had since he was eight weeks old, because of a 'what if'.
What if stepdad crashes the truck?
What if he dies?
what if he gets fired?
So basically, I was in full-blown anxiety attack mode. At first I tried to find him a new home. But some sage words from my father made me realize that Tiger was just too old to adapt to such a huge change. So my only option became to euthanize him.
The vet examined Tiger and found he had a mass in his belly. Possibly a tumor. Tiger was going blind and developing dementia. I suspect he had some form of ocular cancer as well. So, while the circumstances sucked, its for the best that we spared him the inevitable sharp decline in health.
The last thing Tiger likely remembered was me. My hand cradling his head. My scent.
He was my baby, my best friend. He was a gentle soul, more likely to run and hide than ever hurt someone. He was a food thief and a warmth hog. He kept my feet warm in the winter and was a soothing purring pillow when I was upset. He loved head-bonking things and getting forehead kisses.
There's a cat-shaped void in my heart.

Sketch Commissions!
Posted 11 years agoI'm possibly going to open for some sketch commissions in the next week.
I'll post some examples and have a few slots for each.
Sketch portraits - $5
Full character sketch -$10
Multiple characters - depends
May also consider turning a sketch into digital ink, but idk.
I'm ridiculously broke and it's really stressing me out. So I need the extra cash.

An update on life
Posted 12 years agoI suppose.
I was hospitalized last Wednesday for upper abdominal pain. Turns out I had gall stones. I had to have the gall bladder removed. I just got home yesterday. Moving hurts. Laughing hurts...
I may open for some commissions just to make up for the money I'm losing from missed work.

My rat died
Posted 13 years agoMy last remaining rat, Shredder, passed some time last night. I had to go to work, so my dad buried him for me in the yard where we've started a small graveyard (no, we don't bury things often, we just tend to put them all in the same area)
I'm gonna miss him. How excited he got for treats....how he liked to drink for five minutes right when I decide to go to bed (TAKATAKATAKATAKATAKATAKA), how he would hide under my plush Murloc when I let him out to play...
I dunno if I'll get more rats...I mean....I love them, but I long for a dog....*sigh*
I just emptied and dismantled his cage...I don't know what to put up there instead of it. :c

Back from Otakon
Posted 13 years agoYep, I forgot to say that I was going and how one could spot me. but oh well. lol.
it was fun, exhausting, and what not.
Met Jason David Frank (AKA, Tommy Oliver from Power Rangers) and got him to sign a figure...
Shouted 'BUTT SCRATCHER' several times in crowded areas...
yep...not much to say. They need to start limiting numbers though....

It never gets easier (Rat related)
Posted 13 years agoMy two rats, Splinter and Shredder, are going on three years old...That's old for a rat...
Well, Splinter (my favorite) has become parilyzed in his back end. He's old and I don't have a rat-vet (I know, stupid)...I know he's on his way out and I've made him comfortable with extra soft bedding, a water bottle right by his box-house where he can just lean over for it, and a little food bowl at nose-reach...
He still gets all wide-eyed and excited when I shake the treat bag, trying his hardest to crawl to the cage door. I give him treats first for his effort and his brother really seems concerned for him and keeps him warm at night.
If his condition worsens, I'll take him to a vet and have him put to sleep. But for now, he is still as active as he can be without working back legs. *sigh*

New years stuff
Posted 13 years agoWell...I did end up going to Furstivus this morning...and, well....I just didn't feel comfortable at all. I ended up leaving less than ten minutes after buying my ticket (after getting a refund, since I hadn't even signed my badge). Having my first furry con at a beginning furry con probably wasn't good...especially when I'm used to HUGE conventions, like Otakon.
Meh.
Meh.
unhappy new year.
Posted 13 years agoThis new year isn't off to a good start....
One of my mom's cats, one I spent half of my life....13 years....with has very aggressive cancer...in just this month, he has declined so dramatically...its very difficult to see a once very robust cat reduced to this...he is going to be put down next week...there is no use extending his discomfort for our own selfish needs. He has already made his peace...he knows he's dying....but it still hurts us....
on another note, I'm not going to Furstivus...I was going to go with my aunt, but she's sick....I don't want to go alone when I'm already so depressed....
I don't like this new year....I want my cat back...

Furstivus?
Posted 13 years agoIs anyone watching me going? I'm still on the fence. I'm not getting a hotel room, so that's not an issue....just, really unsure about going to a convention alone.
halp!
