It's been a really tough go lately. Well actually it's been a tough go for roughly the last two years and a bit.

I can't bring myself to do DARPG anymore. Nor can I bring myself to draw. To be honest with you I'm still not over Alexei and Banzai's deaths. Pretty amazing how it's been that long and it's still hanging on me like it was yesterday...

But as far as when I'm coming back, I don't know if I will or not.
Maybe some day, but I don't see it being soon.

There's too much going on in my life to able to make time for DA.

But I miss you too. It's good friends like you that have kept me coming back to check messages every now and again.

AYYYY SORRY I FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND INTO OBLIVION FOR LIKE, YEARS.
I saw your journal by the way, and lighteningfox was telling the truth, I'm on a VERY long hiatus. Trying to keep up with work and such, plus my niece lives with me now so I'm acting as a father figure. They're on dA as well and they're the best way to get news to me quickly. I'll give you her username so that she can play as messenger. xWingsOfFreedom She does a lot of roleplay as well. You might not know her but she knows you, I've brought you up in some conversations here and there. 

I miss you too comrade~

Well I'm sure she won't mind! She loves roleplaying. She's actually living with me now due to issues with her mother. So, now I have a minion-AHEM. Assistant. 

I'm sure she'd be very pleased to be able to roleplay with you.

I think Alexis plans on doing the Cynology, then coming back and taking Criminology at Queen's University. I think. She mentioned it but she could have changed her mind.
Yeah. But we need a male to do that and good lord getting a dog from Holland is stressful. Hopefully it's worth it.

Wellllll my mother brought home a dog from Tampa & then said dog decided it'd be okay to start attacking Buddy on sight.  So we had to fork up $900 to get Buddy's eye/eyelid stitched back together because Benson basically ripped it off of Buddy's face.  (He's doing good now, healing up.  Not too much tissue has died, so we don't have to get his eye removed.)
Uhhh I've been in Tennessee and Myrtle Beach for the past two weeks on a big family reunion.  It was great, lots of fun.
But honestly now that I think about it, other than those two things, not much has happened xD
Or not that I can remember, but I can't exactly recall when you disappeared so I don't know what was going on last time we talked.
Anyways, what's been up with you?  I've been reading updates on Alexis's journals and junk, but that's about it

North-Front In reply to xAvidaCreekx [2015-06-29 02:20:25 +0000 UTC]

It's ironic that you now have a dog named Benson as well. My Benson is Bugles' son as you probably know. (Why the hell do you guys always end up dogs that want to kill one thing or another. Like, jesus christ.)
Well I've been working mostly, some overtime to be able to pay off the renovation loan faster.. escorting Alexis around to Flyball and such cause she can't drive yet... but mostly working. Also dealing with other shit that's been a pain but really not worth talking about. 

To be honest I've been getting home and more or less just.. making supper and having 0% mental energy to do anything. 

Alexis' life is a lot more exciting than mine these days to be honest. XD She's off working at tournaments and doing dog sports, and I'm working to pay for a renovation. But hey, what are ya gonna do, if we don't get the roof fixed, the roof collapses. Simple as that. The CHG's are running again this year because Alexis volunteered to run them.. (I'm sure you've read this already if you've been reading her journals and whatever.) But yeah. That's really all that's gone on. Like, you're not missing out on hearing anything about my life because nothing interesting is even happening in my life to be honest. All I truly know is that I've been extremely tired lately.

Oh haha I didn't even think about that when we named him.  (I know, it's freaking ridiculous, I hate it.  No, and get this, they want to try to make it work with Benson and Buddy and somehow end up keeping Benson.  Like no.  Why would you even risk that.)
Yeah I read about it all in your journal, that stinks.  But once you get the renovations done, you won't have to worry about it again anytime soon, so that's good.  And same here, a bunch of stuff has happened but it's not really important anymore.

Alexis' life always sounds exciting xD  Those tournaments must be lots of fun.
Yeah I'm definitely not gonna be able to be in the CHG's again this year;  I haven't drawn in months, & my lack of motivation lately wouldn't help much in the games.  But maybe next year, if I get my life together by then and have time/motivation for it.
I figured not much had happened, both of our lives are pretty uneventful lately to be honest.  But it's still nice to talk to you  I totally get the tired thing; I've been just so exhausted lately.  Physically and mentally, just life has been so tiring lately, and it sucks, but it'll pass soon hopefully.

(Yeah no that's dangerous how about they don't. I think that's a better idea.) Yeah it sucks but.. I kinda shipped Alexis off to her grandmother for a bit because we're renovating her room now, so. Everything is a mess. XD 

Oh it is. She's always doing something worth her while. The tournament in Norwood is the first one that Svenja can participate in, and she's super stoked about that. 
I understand that. I was like "maybe.." then I thought about it like a sensible adult and just said "why did I even CONSIDER that as an option." 
Yeah, our lives used to be full of adventure because hey, hey, not as many responsibilities, then adulthood caught up with us broski. It is still good to talk to you when I can get on here for a few minutes though.
That feel. It'll pass soon most likely. Stuff like that is usually only temporary.

Alexis was saying that you'd met a Dutchie recently. Did she tell you that we almost had one as a working dog recently but we passed it up because I wasn't ready for another dog right after Bugles died? (Yeah that happened to.. In October actually. I don't think I'll have another dog for a while. It was pretty hard to be honest, because it actually happened because he has Sarcomas in his Spleen, which is a form of cancer that was only days away from killing him. That's part of why I wasn't here like.. at all for a long time.)

Damn, that sucks. Meeting a Dutch shepherd is an opportunity because they're kinda rare..
Yeah it was a while ago. For the longest time I was pretty down because, well, I mean I'd had him since I was 10. I'm able to function now, I'm still a bit disappointed that I didn't cremate him, but, the funds did not allow for that at the present time, so he's got his spot out at the tree line by the woods in the backyard. I couldn't really bear to be around the other dogs for a while. Like, I pretty much ignored them to the best of my ability, because Benson is Bugles' son, and to be honest I didn't feel like being around any dog at that point. I'm alright now. Still don't want another dog. Probably won't have another dog until after Alexis goes to college. (Which is in like 2 years holy damn, we have to find her a place to rent near where ever she decided to go so that she can take Sven with her. Bad stuff happens around campuses and I don't wanna take any chances of drunk guys showing up at her doorstep and mugging her or something. Not that she couldn't kick their asses herself but.. it's always good to have backup as far as I'm concerned.) But yeah, I don't regret euthanizing Bugles when I did. He was too far along to fix it, so, it was for the best.

Yeah I know, such a disappointment.
Man, that's terrible.  I totally understand the whole avoiding other dogs thing, though.  I'd probably do the same thing.  Especially since Benson is related to him and all.  Are the dogs doing okay?  (Oh my gosh, yes, campuses are crazy lately.  So many headlines in the news about campus murders and robberies and college kids over all getting into trouble.  It's terrifying.  But I think she'd be able to handle living on her own, especially with Sven by her side.  She's a tough girl, and if she couldn't defend herself, Sven sure as heck would.)  It's probably the best thing you could have done.  It's better than leaving him to leave the last few months of his life in pain.

The other dogs are fine. They we're a little depressed for about a week but, that's natural. Nothing compared to Banzai who didn't know what to do for like A MONTH when Alexei passed away. (Yeah there were 2 deaths on a campus about an hour away from us. But they wouldn't release how it happened. My two guesses are 1) Suicide or 2) Someone's running around with a weapon they shouldn't have. Alexis doesn't want a room mate, she doesn't wanna share a room with someone she doesn't know. If she rents somewhere, she might later find a room mate to live with her and pay half the rent, but she doesn't have to. I trust Sven to stop threats affectively. Honest to god, for her size (she's like 45 pounds now or something) she hits with a lot of force, it's like getting hit by 45 pound transport going 100km an hour. She's a scary dog.) Yeah, they didn't even know if he would have made it through surgery if that was a possibility. I've come to terms with the fact that there's nothing a could have done, and euthanizing him was likely more of a huge favour to him than anything else.

Awww poor things.  I know, I remember you telling me how Banzai was so confused about what to do with himself.  
(Man, that's horrible.  Do they not allow students to choose their roommates up there?  I know here you can choose to pick your roommate yourself or to be randomly matched with someone else.  Hmm it's good that she's planning on renting an apartment;  most campuses won't allow pets, especially freshman, and especially large pets like 45 lb guard dogs xD )

Hey so it's been a long time, and I was thinking about you today at work and figured it was way past due for me to say hello.

So hi. I'm not dead. I may be dead to the DARPG world but I'm not physically dead yet.

Just before we get into any conversation of sorts I will explain why it's been so long.

It may sound ridiculous and irrational but I've found it hard to do anything DARPG related since Alexei and Banzai died. DARPG reminds me of them and I ended up quitting my working dog job in exchange for a pet obedience training job because being part of the working dog club was too hard to bear after I lost them both despite enduring quite a bit of time there after they died. When we got Sven I go as far as finishing her preliminary training before I couldn't do it anymore. She reminds me a lot of Banzai and I've been having a tough time attaching to any dog similar to Banzai. Lexi and I also lost our 11 year old Beagle to spleen cancer that year in October and that was when I really called it quits, since I'd had him since I was a mere teenager and it was extremely hard when he died because of him having been there for me through the deaths of the other two.

Long story short, DARPG is hard to do now, I handed Sven completely over to Lexi and made Sven their dog, basically told them "make something extraordinary of her", which they have done better than I could have by a long shot (Lexi is trialling her in disc dog freestyle on the 16th and 17th of July, it'll be their first competition), and I've been trying to hold myself together with rusty staples and expired glue.

Still making enough money to afford essentials and then some, so we are financially okay.

But I've just been a real live train wreck since I lost three dogs in the time frame of a year because of things I had no control of.

But I've missed you and I hope we can catch up at some point.

Oh wow I most definitely wasn't expecting to see your name pop up on my screen today. Honestly had me a little teary-eyed, since I've been going through a really rough time this past year as well (granted not as bad as losing three dogs, but still).

Anyway, hey! It's been forever, but it's not like that's your fault or anything. I knew you had been trying to cope, & also had Sven to take care of, so I figured it was a good idea to just let you be for a while so you could get back on your feet & focus on yourself. I actually was pretty active in DARPG there for a while, but I've basically dropped off the map recently. I've been sort of busy, but honestly the main reason is I've just lost all motivation for art. I hadn't touched my tablet or a sketchbook in months, & actually just last night was the first time I had worked on anything in a long long time. 

As for the loss of your dogs, I'm sure you're well aware, but I just wanted to say again that I am still so so sorry that you had to go through that. It was heartbreaking to me & I hadn't even known them, I can't even imagine the pain that you've had to deal with. But I always knew you were strong, & I'm extremely glad that you've been able to (sort of) pull through & are doing well. Also that is so awesome for Sven and Lexi! You'll have to tell them I said hi  

I know it's been tough; you know I'm always here for you if you need someone to talk to. No matter how long it's been.

North-Front In reply to xAvidaCreekx [2016-06-30 05:10:59 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't either to be honest. Lexi just happened to find out that someone drew a thing of Sven and was like "SOMEONE DREW OUR DOG" so I came to see it.

Sven to take care of? Lord no she's hardly mine anymore haha. I basically said "this is yours now" to Lexi since I always said I'd let her have a working dog at some point so when I couldn't cope I put Sven's papers in her name and said "she's yours as of this moment" when I handed the ownership certificate to her the day it came in the mail. It's been a lot easier for me to watch Lexi make something successful of Scen like she's done rather than trying to force myself to do it. With my current state of mind on the topics of working dogs I knew I could never give her the success that Lexi's given her, and on top of that, Lexi is more of "find out what the dog's passion is" kind of trainer. Sure, Sven would excel at protection sports like French or Mondio ring but you can really tell that her passion is disc. She just gets that vibe coming off her when she does disc and it's so nice to watch them work together. Evens tail never stops going and Lexi never stops smiling.

I feel you on the motivation thing too. A few days ago at work I was messing around with a pencil and a piece of scrap paper and I managed to churn out a scribble whippet and a couple Dutch shepherds, but my tablet is another thing I kinda gave to Lexi cause I hadn't used it in forever and I didn't want it to just sit and get full of dust. (All of my nice things are going to that child but I don't regret a thing. I'd be lost without her.)

That does mean a lot, even though it happened over two years ago. I think I'd be able to cope if it had been just one dog of a cause that I could put a pin in, but we still don't know what killed Alexei (I actually was thinking about it the other day and wondered if he'd been poisoned but, it's not like we have poisonous snakes here and I keep all my poisonous things out of the reach of dogs. It could have been a number of things but I just wish I knew what did it.) and Banzai after Alexei's death was a mental wreck. I had to pull him from Schutzhund because he got so depressed, there was just no excitement anymore. And what hit me most with that is that he died depressed like that, at the hands of someone who knew better than to drive 80 on a road with corners that people walk their dogs in every day.

Lemme tell you, when Bugles died I was just happy we caught it before his spleen ruptured because the vet told me that had it ruptured it would have been excruciatingly painful and all I could picture at that point was the screaming that Alexei was doing when he died. It's awful to say but I'm just happy I got his last days in with time spent together and that he went peacefully.

I appreciate that compliment, it's high praise, believe me because I've felt anything but strong for the past two years.

I told Lexi you said hi and she wanted me to tell you that she appreciates you putting up with me and being there for me. Long story short you are appreciated and you might even get gift art in the future.

That is very appreciated. Just know that I will provide that same support for you. If you ever need to talk to me in a hurry about something that's bothering you, Lexi is willing to play messenger since she's on more than me by a long shot. All you've gotta do is note her and tell her you need to have a word with me and I'll be there asap.

But thank you for not forgetting about me because I was dead to the world for so long. You're a true friend Sherman and I couldn't ask for a better one.

Oh yeah I think I saw that picture! It looks really good so far

hahaha I just meant that having the new puppy around in general was a lot to deal with, even if Lexi is the main caregiver. I actually just recently had a Pyrenees pup in the house, but she went back up to Canada with my grandmother so we only had to take care of her for a few weeks. She was crazy though; I had forgotten how intense puppy caretaking was. Disc sounds like it suites the girls nicely, I'm super glad they were able to find a sport that they were passionate about

Yeah seriously I hadn't done anything in forever, but I just felt the urge to draw even though I had no idea what to draw. I've been trying to get back into the swing of things but it's hard because I'm basically forcing myself to try to find motivation when it's not really there. There really hasn't been much to do around here lately, so I've sort of had to resort to art again.

Gosh it doesn't feel like it was two years ago though. I was seriously feeling like it was this past year, & I was like "woah we both had really awful years this sucks." Yeah that was one thing that I always think back to, that Banzai died without his best friend. See with Alexei & Bugles it was health issues, it was best for them to go. But Banzai didn't deserve that. Speaking of, did you ever find out who the driver was? 

Jeez no I don't need gift art from either of you guys! There's seriously nothing you could even draw considering the fact that I'm currently inactive in the DARPG community soooo no. 

I'll be sure to keep that in mind  Lexi is such a lifesaver, she's just wonderful. 
But yeah, I mean it's been rough lately but I've managed to pull through mostly. The biggest thing most recently is that Anikan went missing a month ago without a trace, so that was pretty devastating. I'm still on the lookout though. Umm other than that, I was involved in a pretty bad car wreck a while back. All's good though, nobody was seriously injured (however my car was completely totaled).
I don't know if I had talked to you about this at all considering the fact that I went through a very serious depression afterwards & didn't really talk to anyone, but last September my brother tried to commit suicide. He's alright now & hasn't tried anything since, but it still weighs down on me everyday. But anyway that's most of what I mean when I say I've had a rough year.

& of courseeee I couldn't forget about you! Aww dude you're a great friend too, even if you disappear all the time.

(Alright, I'll apologize beforehand for the small rage down below after I respond to the parts of your comment that I need to. Prepare yourself.)

I'm sorry to hear about your brother, and your car wreck. I'm glad everyone's okay though. I don't believe you talk to me about it prior to this but my memory is absolute shit so, you may very well have.

I'm also so so so sorry to hear about Anikan.
It just so happens that Lexi and I have been in that same boat since yesterday.
Benson went missing yesterday afternoon, and we haven't seen or heard from him for a little over a day now.

Benson is all we have left of Bugles. And he'd never just take off like that and not come back.
We're under the impression that he's been stolen at this point. Lexi is devastated, Svenja and Sadie are devastated.
I can't even describe my own feeling about this.
It's at this point where I start asking myself what in the blood soaked hell I've done to deserve having everything I care about ripped away from me for no good reason. Benson's been my little man for seven years.

I want to find out who in the fuck stole my dog.
And I want to know now.

She's been gone for over a month now, and we have all searched for miles as well as put up signs in nearby vet offices and online. She just disappeared; we were under the impression that someone may have taken her but at this point it's unlikely unless someone just doesn't want to come forward. I've had Anikan for nearly as long as you've had Benson. I raised her by hand, and although she's just a cat, she was my baby. And honestly all I want right now is for her to come back home safe. 

I've mostly gotten past the being sad part and now I'm just pissed off. Because this shouldn't have happened, none of it should have happened. Not to Anikan and not to Benson. Pets don't just fucking disappear like that.
It's incredibly tough to deal with but at the same time I'm glad someone understands what I'm going through, ya know? At least there's someone who relates to what's going on. 

Unfortunately, if someone has An, it's unlikely that they'll come forward at this point. She does have a microchip though, so I'm hoping that that will be my saving grace; hopefully if someone has her they'll have the decency to at least take her to a vet, in which case I pray that the vet will scan for a chip. If someone doesn't have her... I mean Anikan maybe could've survived for a week out there. Maybe. But there's no way she could've lasted this long I don't think. (However I haven't found her body so there's still hope.)

As for Benson, I hope you guys are able to find him as soon as possible. He hasn't been gone that long, and he's smart, so if he's still out there he'll probably show up soon. But if someone took him and they haven't already returned him then I have no clue. Either way, I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts; I wish you guys the best of luck in finding him.

UM. LIFE IS.. I dunno how to come back to that honestly, my life has been work, work and more work, and then other things and CHRISTMAS IS TWO WEEKS AWAY I HAVE TO START GETTING STUFF FOR PEOPLE ALREADY.

SVEN IS FANTASTIC. Alexis has been keeping everyone updated on her for the most part, since I'm like never here. She has internet connections at School so she's on a bunch during the day apparently, or so she's told me. But, Sven weighs 43.6 pounds now, and she's roughly.. I haven't measured her lately but she's about 20 inches tall. She has to get a bit taller yet to square herself up.. the part that gets me is that she practically has the dog form of abs. XD She's all muscle. AND HAVE A MENTIONED THAT SHE'S A MAJESTIC STALLION WHEN SHE RUNS? JESUS CHRIST IT'S BEAUTIFUL. 

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
WHERE DID YOU GO.
I MISSED YOU.

Ugh same, so much stuff to do!  AND I KNOW RIGHT CHRISTMAS IS COMING THAT MEANS WE GET TO TAKE A BREAK FROM LIFE FOR A LITTLE BIT.

Oh my gosh that's great.  I know, I went and stalked Lexi's profile for pictures of her xD  Dang, she's gotten big so fast!  I'm glad she's doing good, I miss hearing about her all the time.  Buddy's finally thickening up;  usually he's pretty slim, but he's gotten buff lately.  And I don't know if I disappeared before or after this, but we have two kittens now as well, and they're doing swell    And Bella's annoying as ever.  Anikan's health is improving ever slowly, but she's definitely better and her fur's been growing back.

OH MY GOSH I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I JUST KIND OF STOPPED COMING ON HERE AFTER A SMALL HEALTH SCARE AND THEN YEAH ONE DAY I WAS LIKE "HEY IT'S THANKSGIVING I SHOULD GO ON DEVIANTART I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THERE IN FOREVER" AND NOW I'M BACK  
I MISSED YOU TOO I PROMISE.
Okayyyy I just got back from Disney/Universal last night.  3 day trip.  It was awesome. 
Uhm, I don't really know.  Not much has happened in my life lately, to be honest xD  I've volunteered a bunch at this local wildlife refuge, which is an incredible experience.  And I'm about to start volunteering regularly at this dog rescue nearby, so that's fun.  Yeah really there's not much.  I'm going up to Illinois for Christmas to visit family (they're the ones who breed Huskies and Great Pyrenees!) - I don't really want to go because I'm not sure yet what we're doing with the animals while we're gone, but that's whatever.

AND SUDDENLY IT'S ALMOST FEBRUARY WHERE IS ALL MY TIME FLEEING TO.

Yeah she's like.. 46 pounds of muscle now. XD And according to Alexis she has 'dog abs'. I wasn't sure that was possible but, upon petting her today I realized that is is VERY possible, and kind of creepy at the same time. That's good to hear! It's always great to see a dog go from slim to a total stud. Ah, Bella. Still don't know what to think of that dog. XD It's good to hear that Anikan is improving. 

PFFT. JUST TODAY I WAS LIKE "HEY WHEN WAS TH LAST TIME I ACTUALLY WENT ON DEVIANTART TO TALK TO PEOPLE? DAMN IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
I MISSED YOU TOO.
I have never been to Disney/Universal. Dang, look at you doing all the cool stuff. XD
Well you know me, I've just kinda been.. working. XD How was the visit to Illinois?
