Bastless and Odin
Hi all of the incredibly kind and generous of self people on this Forum. I so comprehend how hard things can get.
Odin is now assertive regarding shared meal times, although I have to ensure that there is a specific order for all four footed children to obtain adequately their share of the food.
Odin is now amazing - he knows the sound of my little Lazer and welcomes me home. He is receptive to pats and brushing although this is usually brief. I also now receive licks and purrs. I am certain now that he understands biting and scratching is no longer acceptable - I remain horrified due to his previous families maltreatment.
As for me - how am I travelling. Totally involved in the reality from chidhood abuse and the detrimental influences upon me. i have decided (as hard as this is) to be assertive and try to deal more appropriately with the crap stuff that other people will use to hurt me. In essence I am also learning the ability to wear my undies on the outside and my cape is ready to fly away when needed.
It is so scary. Maybe one day with suffiecent practice - the nasty stuff in my mind will lessen. It is pretty well essential to do this now.
Otherwise it will be back to the sand for my head and the ostrich feathers well and truly waving in the breeze from my butt.
Thank you and regards
Bastless (in loving memory) and Odin
