you don't have to shut up about the dog...if you need support, people will give it.

that was about my pets...my cat, mikee, didn't come in last night and i freaked out.....i finally found him in the backyard with a baby bird that he had killed and was guarding! i freaked again. i spanked him and brought him inside. he had sneaked out when i came home for lunch.( then i laid in bed and felt enormous guilt for the baby and the parents. i couldn't sleep. no doubt rest is more important to me right now. i have to detach, from stuff, and work or clean or pack.)

i have to quit freaking about those pet things and deal with them. mikee no longer goes outside til the baby birds have flown. there are four nests in my backyard of mockingbirds. i can't deal with the pet hair in the house. instead of freaking out about them...... i secured the pet yard and they are now staying out there.......it's just pet things. it isn't what is defining me as a person.

i'm saying what i am going to do and am doing. that's what the thread is about. "the monkey mind"........http://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/browse/browse.cgi
