  My beautiful 7 year old Beagle was sent to the Rainbow Bridge on Oct. 4, 2008. My parents had to put down Rosie on Saturday morning, she started having back problems, and the vet gave her medication to help her ease the pain, and it worked for a while, then, for some reason, my parents said she came back inside hobbling, basically dragging herself behind the tv set, and just yelping and whimpering, and panting, trying to figure out what happened with her back legs, and so my parents took her to the vet, and found out that she was paralyzed from her middle of her back to her back legs. It would have cost us thousands of $ to have surgery on her, which we cannot afford and there was no other guarantees, no other options, so.. we had to put her to sleep, to ease her pain and now she is in a better place.. I just regret that I could not be home for her, to say goodbye, and that is enough to kill me right now. In dedication, I would like to share my “cards/prints” I have used of her. Rest easy pretty girl, you can run again, and I’ll see you again someday. Thanks for being a great dog and you’ll be deeply missed.

  Latley I’ve been noticing something about people, now I must admit that this is not a scientific experiment I am conducting, but I’m perplexed but that actions of some humans. / I walk around this big ol’ world minding my business, trying to be a good person, trying to help my fellow man get a leg up in life. But Lately I’ve been running into some of the most appalling people. The over confidence they exude in their actions, in their words that they speak to other humans. As if they are perfect and can do no wrong. / But I’m beginning to think that maybe that’s it’s defense mechanism. I believe men and women have to think they are perfect or a better word, over confident in order to survive in this world. / Like the Darwin theory states only the strong survive. If you don’t exude this air of confidence then the human population will not trust you or your boss will question your validity, friends will not confide in you, the opposite sex will look past you. It is a defense mechanism that is in everyone in order to make decisions in life, work and relationships. It is in our nature to protect ourselves. With saying that, do you ever wonder what you look and act like through the eyes another person? We live our lives day in and day out probably without that thought once crossing our minds. Some people live theirs live and could care less what other people think and that can be thought of as a non-conformist, or self absorbed, unfortunately it usually is the later. A non-conformist would never have that thought even enter their mind. I know ,I’m not perfect, I know I make countless mistakes throughout the day, month, years, Life. / I don’t have that confidence and because of that it makes other think I have a low self esteem. They have a point , I have to say but I like to think of it as being honest with myself. I know my weaknesses and my strengths in life. As a child and as an adult I felt as if I was sitting outside the circle looking into life. I told myself this is probably the reason why I am so hard on myself, because I could see my flaws as another person looking at me would. I never felt the over powering feeling of pure confidence as other people do in life. No, I wasn’t shy if that is what you are asking yourself. / I was observant and cautious where I placed my thoughts and feeling because I learned early on, that people’s confidence could be ripped apart like a paper kite caught in the rain. / That’s the thing with confidence it’s like air, it’s fleeting. If more people took time to stand back and see their selves as they are at this moment in time, would they like themselves? / Would they enjoy their own company? I’d like to say I know myself, I know, I’m annoying and hyper at times, hurtful, demanding, literal. I can be a real pain in the ass, but I also know the great things I am. The point to this is that I know, I acknowledge these facts about myself and I can prevent the awful personalities from emerging, most of the time. / No one is perfect and that’s okay. So we should let go of this false sense of confidence and strip it away to the core of who you really are. I get my confidence in knowing I did my job right, or making my friends laugh or just seeing the smiling face of my family. That is what gives me confidence in life and helps me hold my head high. All I’m saying is let’s try a little tenderness… — Mari
