I can’t cope

[Captain24]

I won’t be lucky enough to get tested. @tyme. Things never go my way. I’m just really down and out. Really badly down and out. 

At least you can get a little alone sleep. I enjoy my sleeping for nightshift as I don’t have dogs to juggle. 

I had a sleep this morning and both dogs were in my bed. I touched Jett and he attacked me then pix attacked him so I had a full on dog fight over the top of me! 

[tyme]

What!!!!???? Are you okay???

I can see Pix is trying to teach Jett a lesson!

Arghhhh... dogs. What to do? Do they ever 'grow up'? @Captain24 

How old is Pix now?

[Captain24]

No I'm not, not even close @tyme 

Its priceless. Whenever he attacks me she gets all defensive! She is my

protector! 

Pix is 5 and a half. Jetts not long turned one. I don’t think they will ever grow up. But I do love them just the way they are. 

[tyme]

Reminds me of Allie and Zac in the past. If Allie was 'naughty', the Zac would tell her off for us. It was very cute because Allie was a labrador and so much bigger than Zac. @Captain24 

I'm glad Pix looks after you. 

Is her knee all better after the surgery? Remember one of your holidays, she was really struggling?

Is Jett only just 1? Ruby will be one either Feb or March. 

[Captain24]

Pix just looks at me when Jett is being an arse. @tyme. He was one in October. Pix has healed perfectly. I’m not sure how Jett has gone. I’ll ask the vet to check at his yearly injection. When mum is walking him she jerks his lead if he is doing the wrong thing. But it pulls in both his knees. I can’t afford $2500 surgery. But she won’t stop

its her way of hurting them. She doesn’t with her own dog too. She’s just a bitch. 

[tyme]

Really. @Captain24 ??? She does that to Jett? Is she aware it's not good for him?

If you get a harness or one over the mouth (if they have them that small), is that better? Maybe the vet can suggest what is better for Jett? Definitely you wouldn't want him hurt.

[Captain24]

He wears a harness which is lucky @tyme. So has a go at dad because he doesn’t pull Pix’s hard enough. 

Sh doesn’t care if it hurts them she believes they need to be punished. If it hurts then they may learn their lesson. 

T/W child abuse

That’s the same as kids we hard marks on us for days because we deserved it and it was to teach us a lesson. She still does ‘stuff’ to me and just says I shouldn’t have been doing there I was in the way. 

[tyme]

That's tough... Do you think she was brought up that way too @Captain24 ?

I just finished a book about asian cultures and how the father had full control over EVERYTHING. I would see it as 'abuse', but maybe that was their asian culture? IDK. For example, the father would call the wife and child a few times everyday so he could check on them. He would demand a certain number of dishes to be cooked every evening, he told his wife what he was and wasn't allowed to wear, he controlled all finances and wouldn't let the wife work. 

Is this seen as abuse in their culture or just a way that things 'are'?

The book was called Tiger Daughter and it really made me think. I wouldn't recommend it to you now though, because it has instance of suicide and it shares the father's thoughts about suicide which made me - ANGRY!

[Captain24]

I think she was @tyme. But it’s all about violence with her. She isn’t happy unless she is physically or mentally or emotionally hurting some one. 

In our culture that would be abuse and I believe it is but I guess if it’s their culture maybe it’s just standard and acceptable. 

I thought my abuse was standard. That everyone else coped what I got 

Um going to bed. I hope you have a good couple of days. I won’t see you until Friday. 

Take care

[tyme]

I really don't know. It's complicated.. people are complicated. 

Oh, I forgot to share. Remember how recently I was very hurt by someone? I heard yesterday that a few days after the incident, he had a mild hard attack. 

I won't say he deserved it, but I hope it puts things into perspective about how much and how many people he has hurt @Captain24 

I'll see you when you're on next... please take care. Hope you are okay.

Hugs, tyme
