For the last few days Neo, my dog, has not been acting himself. On Friday April 27th my mother took him to the vet (note, he lived with my mom while I moved away for college) and the vet told her there was nothing they could do. Neo had an enlarged heart, liver, lung, and his trachea was collapsing. Neo was an amazing 11 year old mutt (part poodle terrier and who knows what else) and he will be greatly missed I know it was hard for my mom to tell me this over the phone earlier that day, and hell it was hard for me to hear. But I know he is no longer in pain. I begged my mom over the phone to let me see him one more time, all I wanted to say was goodbye. But the vet said they shouldn’t wait. Now that I think about it, it was probably best I didn’t see him that way and instead that I remember him as the hyperactive dog that he was

Neo Angelus, you were an awesome dog. Smarter than most humans and always made me laugh. I will greatly miss you. I drove home after the news and tomorrow my mother, boyfriend (who rode with me since I couldn’t drive, was too upset) will be doing a bit of shopping before I head back to Tallahassee. I plan on getting some painting supplies and painting a portait of Neo. Now it’s time for some cute pictures of Neo

When I first got Neo! He was my Christmas gift in 2000 :)

One of my favorite pictures of him! Taken around Christmas 2011.

Random pictures I took with him outside haha.

RIP Neo Angelus. November 1, 2000 – April 27, 2012 I love and miss you <3!

Today is April Fool’s Day (don’t worry I won’t put any lame “omg my site is closing!11″ entry or something :P) which means it’s Day 1 of the blog challenge! Each day in April I will be blogging and I’ll be using the topics from Sarai’s Blog Topic List! Other awesome Snark members are also taking part in this. For day 1 I chose #35 on the list, which is “What’s your earliest memory?”

One of my earliest memories is sorta a scary one, but at the time I wasn’t scared I more-so annoyed. I was around 3 and was big enough to sleep in a “big kid bed”. I remember at the time something kept interrupting my sleep to the point where I didn’t want to stay in my own bed anymore. I’d sometimes sleep in my parents bed but I also slept in my sister’s bed (she’s 10 years older than I am, so she would have been about 13 or so). I remember laying in her bed with her and seeing these two large and round black shadows in her window. I told her, she told our parents, and the police were called.

At that age I didn’t understand what was happening, but basically our neighbor’s boyfriend (at least that’s what my family thinks) was peeking into my window at night. The shadowy circles that I was seeing was him putting his hands around his eyes to see better. Of course at that age I was just annoyed that someone was at my window because he woke me up, but at my age now it could have turned into something really serious.

My family and I still talk about it sometimes and one thing my sister told me was that one night I wanted to sleep in her bed and she told me no. So I told her “Okay … I’m sure that mean guy won’t look inside your window anyways” which caused her to freak out and let me sleep in her bed I may have not understood what was going on, but I guess I understood enough to know that my sister was freaked out haha.

It’s weird to think I am 26 now, especially considering people ask if I am 18/19 and I get cared for R rated movies Birthday was on the 17th (it’s now about 15 ’til 2am so technically it’s the 18th) and I had a GREAT birthday.

Woke up this morning at 5:30am for work (not so fabulous), but overall work was a great day Coworkers kept wishing me a happy birthday and we even had pizza for lunch at work. After work I bought a few things and headed to Michael’s arts and crafts store to pick up some stuff to make a World of Warcraft inspired bag. Jose and I waited around the apartment before going out for dinner. He ordered me something and it finally came after 6:30pm. I was shocked when he told me to close my eyes and he presented me with a dozen red roses

Initially I thought of The Hunger Games and President Snow, haha (which by the way, I finished reading the final book today SO GOOD!) but they were a nice surprise. After the pretty roses came we left to go eat at Genghis Grill, which neither of us have ever been at. Basically you get a bowl and go to a buffet style area and pick what meats and vegetables you want (all raw) which you can also add a wide array of seasoning too. Then you pick a sauce for your dish as well as a starch and they cook it for you and bring it to your table when it’s finished. It was SO good and we plan on eating there again really soon.

I had chicken, steak, carrots, broccoli, and white rice in a honey soy sauce. Was very good, also had cheesecake for dessert Also got to raid in World of Warcraft tonight with guildies for the first time which was a lot of fun (even won some nice pieces!).

Overall I had an amazing birthday. Next weekend I am going home to visit family and to celebrate my birthday again Been getting lovely cards from family members also wishing me a happy birthday! This was also my first birthday with my iPhone so I was shocked with how many facebook comments, tweets, and forum birthday wishes I was receiving Thanks again everyone!
