rmorelan Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Oh god. My dog died tonight. Collapsed outside in the dark. Could have been there for over twenty minutes when me and my dad found him. He was still alive, barely so, when I wrapped him in a blanket and carried him back to the house (needed to move him, it was dark and the only light I had on me was my cell phone). Heavy guy. Dad's got a bum knee. When I got him back into the light and unwrapped him, he was dead. I couldn't have been moving him for more than thirty seconds. The change was amazing. No colour left in muzzle or gums. Tongue went dark purple. I went through a couple cycles of CPR before my mom got me to stop. She said she didn't want him coming back with brain damage and that he been really lethargic and unhappy the last week. DIdn't expect the CPR to work but had to try it. I got up, didn't look at him, and just walked away. Went to get a pair of latex gloves. Don't know why. I think I wanted to look in his throat to see if he choked (my dad gave him a T-Bone early). Then it sunk in. Went back to see him, see if I could pat him one more time and just hug him again. Had him for fifteen years. Parents had moved him when I got back. Feel like crap now. Afraid to go to work. Even, worse I had a couple of assignments to finish for a 12am due date. Tried to force myself to put the finishing touches but couldn't focus. Don't know what to tell the profs, especially cause I had an altercation with one earlier this year. sorry to ramble but i needed to get it out. don't want anyone to see me right now or to talk to anyone i know sorry for your loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman101 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 So there I was just watching some top gear on TV and a EFFING MOUSE just decides to poke its head out from under the other sofa. And then wanders out, a couple inches, and takes something, and wanders back under the couch. F@#K!!! Gotta load up on them rat traps now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leap87 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yesterday, my mom and I officially purchased a brand new condo. I got to move myself out at the end of August and then her at the end of September. So much packing to do that I don't even know where to begin. This is called going into debt at full speed. After spending over 5000$ on a vacation, we purchase a condo. Then I get scheduled for 4 conferences all over the place which are going to cost a bit more money plus 2 planned vacations.... Money crunch. NEEEEEEEED to find a way to earn money fast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_horrible Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Haha, Law, that is good to hear! But I will be the opposite voice. I am absolutely fed up with my job right now. I just realized that I really screwed up an experiment, and my results I presented to my boss are totally unusable. I don't know what sucks more - having to re-do it all, or having to tell my boss I effed up and didn't realize it 'til now. I just keep chanting "two more weeks left" to keep sane.

future_doc Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I can imagine how acceptance into med school might cause one to let one's guard down for a bit of time.

Get the old school traps and bait with peanut butter or chewed up wad of gum. (If you are renting) Complain to landlord ASAP that you have vermin and want something done! Good luck!

You can also use a slippery sided garbage can with a ramp that goes up to the top with peanut butter inside the garbage can. The mouse falls in and can't get back out and then you drop the mice somewhere away from your home. You can often get more than one mouse that way. You have to make sure that none of your other food is easily accessible though, no matter what trap system you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
