Happiness

I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground.
We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels.
I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!

@ Bella

The thing with my purrpurr is. She is used of going outside and becomes very temperamental if she dont get her outside time. Scratching at the door and becoming iratible. Id do it differently if i had a seconds chance. But cant go back now. She just chills out the front. Roams a bit. Goes hunting. Do you think i could train her to be an inside cat?

I know what you're saying about no help from anyone or family? Its basically the situation im in. Always doing the important stuff on my own. If anything. People are there to bring me down. Which is why im anti social and have agrophobic traits. We need others to a certain degree.

Im thinking about keeping a pigeon pair of purrpurrs kittens. They both tomcats. Good idea? I figure cause im home 90+% of the time. And alone.

@Former-Member

I have had a really difficult first half of life. And i am hoping it gets better. Basically being used and abused. Manipulated. Having power and control inflicted upon me. Otherwise facing repercussions. And it has had hugely negative impacts upon my mental health and my wellbeing. Many problems have been caused too me. It has resulted in all sorts of problems. And unfortunately it is still happening.

I am struggling to look after my dog properly. Meaning. Taking him for walks. Getting him to behave on the lead. Getting him to settle around other people and animals. And getting him to behave appropriately. Literally too the point of considering forfeiting him. He is booked into get his first and second vaccinations within the next month. But as for the long term picture. I am really unsure if i can properly look after him.

Purrpurr has been desexed and is recovering well. She looks after herself and is alot less demanding and alot less maintenance.

In the big scheme of things my dear Bella i am doing pretty good. There is just a lot of little problems that bother me and begin overwhelming me. Looking after ones self is not as easy as it seems. It is actually very hard work. 😧😤😐

Re: Happiness

@eudemonism
If you surrender your kittens to the RSPCA they may be put down I'm not sure if you know this fact?
Do you know people or family members that can adopt them?
About your puppy it does take time for him to learn? He may fret for you if you surrender him can you give him & yourself a little longer to work things out?
Can you buy him dog toys & look on the internet for dog obedience or training web sites? They will help you with him Euge?
I can do some research for you if you don't know where to find help? Just let my know if you would like me to, ok ?
Please don't rush into surrendering your pets? There is time just breath & relax please for them & for me?
Animal Welfare can always help you Euge. You can talk to a worker near where you live & get their help as your pets are why they have the love & care & their reason for being there.
Love & Hugs
Bella & Fur Family XO. 🙂

I think you can get PurrPurr to become an inside cat, as I saved a 12 month old female cat, & her 4 baby kittens. She was abused & so were her kittens. I ended up with them, & I kept the mum & 1 baby girl. The other 3 went to good homes & I named the mum, Sheba, & daughter, Eva. Sheba was never house trained, she is now, never makes a mistake always uses her litter tray, same as Eva.

Tho it did take time, step, by, step, as you say, you are home 90+% time. If you need help, I am here for you 100%, I will help you, promise + my heart!

We can do it, together, ok euge!!....

I have add a link for you, I hope you are encouraged by it. I love this song, it touches my heart, & lifts me Spirit high! I even get teary in a wonderful way watching & listening to it!

GOD loves you euge, & so do I!

Bella XO 🙂

@eudemonism
I agree eude it isn't easy sometimes to look after our selves? But when we are down, we just need to pick ourself up, brush ourself off, & start all over again. Never give up! Really as I see it, it's just a thang? Just a test? Just a moment, hour, day, week, what ever just part of being alive!
I'm here to be your friend, you are there to be my friend, we need each other's friend ship, yes?
So hey you! Where are my chippies & dim sim you promised me?
We can throw a picnic rug down on the grass under a tree with our puppies on their dog leads sitting near us having their share of the goodies. You & I can enjoy the day, food, puppies, fresh air, & each other, how does that sound for good theropy Euge? Now aren't we glade we have our friendship & our puppies? I know that I am glade!!

(((((((((((((Big hugs))))))))))))))))))

@eudemonism
Have you tried a dog harness instead of a lead? More comfortable for your puppy.
Does your puppy have toys to play with at home? Dogs need toys balls pull ropes squeaky toys treats to give him as a reward for obedience. Small pieces of carb not chocolate, dry dog treats cut into bit sized bits? He will be rewarded for obeying you.
Ruby loves me to sing to her & she dances around while I sing. I play catch her nose game just something I made up at the time. Now we play it daily I pretend to wipe her nose with a tissue & when she trusts me to do it I start to giggle at her & tell her, give me nose & try to steal her nose from her. It's real funny I giggle so much & Ruby makes funny play sounds & her nose gets runny & I try to wipe it with a tissue & she try's to stop me. It's all play no hurting each other I love it so much joy & fun & Ruby gets all playful & funny!!!....... Make-up little silly fun games, that both of you can play, & love, together.
Maybe you & your pup can make up some fun things to do together so that you both enjoy each other more?
Love & Hugs

Bella & Ruby!!!
XXOO. 🙂

Re: Happiness

Too much information @Former-Member and too many questions. You should put faith in the fact that i know what is best for myself. And stop comparing you too me. Because it is really annoying.

I took the two kittens
