    On this day we had to put our pure-bred chocolate Labrador, CJ or Cody Junior, to sleep. He was a 13-14 years old so he kinda hung in there. We will never be the same with him gone.

    Poor guy had developed bone spurs throughout a good portion of his body, limiting his movement and strength in his back legs, but still remained somewhat active even up till July when he injured one of his front legs going down the stairs. In his last few weeks he had developed what we now know was diabetes, drinking constantly and urinating just as often. That combined with the continued weakening of his legs meant that his quality of life was so appallingly low that the only humane option was to put him to sleep.

    I will never forget his last moments, at least I pray I don't. I hope that they are one of the few memories so starkly seared into my skull that I shall never forget, even when everything else blurs out and vanishes in the fullness of time. Staying with him as the vet injected, I cannot remember what, into his arm as he slowly died, the two of us holding and stroking him, making sure his last sight was us showering him with love. Then just staring at him with his open eyes as we continue to pet him, as if he was just resting his head against the table.

    May you rest in peace CJ, no matter what, your family loves you now and forever. I hope we get to see you again one day.

I am currently taking a muscle relaxant, it says take take meds with food and plenty of water. Apparently the quantity of both that I consumed before taking it were insufficient. I spent the whole day feeling like I was freezing to death, and feeling like I swallowed the business end of a morning star.

Needless to say, the title says it all.

Take my bad day as an example, learn from it so you do not suffer as I did.

Take care all,
Cheers.

Over the two several days I have only had intermittent connection to DA, apparently for some unknown reason something likes to sporadically block any connection to DA. It isn't the browser, I can connect to other websites just fine and there are times when I can connect to DA seemingly at random points. I found out that I can connect when I visit the site using 3G (don't ask, old cell) and I could connect using a website that acted like a proxy server.

I don't know why this is an issue, apparently DA knows about it since I am not the only one having trouble. I do not think it is Cox, but again I cannot think of what is causing this problem.

So if you comment on something, give me a little time to respond since I may not be able to respond until this annoyance is cleared up or I can connect again.

Take care, stay safe, and best of luck to you all.

Cheers.

Windows 7 updated last night, when I got on today I got a real heart skipping surprise.

Chrome appeared to have been reset back to factory default.

Thankfully that was not (fully?) the case. I was asked if I wanted to reload the extensions, and all my bookmarks/history/etc were present afterwards. Thank god.

However apparently Chrome does not recognize that I am on the same laptop as before, adding an extra section to my recent tabs area.

Hopefully nothing else has/will gone/go wrong.

Freaking Chrome.  

For some unknown reason I have been having trouble connecting to Deviantart for the last few days. Sometimes I can get it on my laptop, others my cell if I use 3G, other times not at all. Seems really weird.

Anyone else having issues?
