Thanks... I like rodents even if I can't have them now. I am lucky enough to have cats and a dog I share with a good friend.

We're so lucky to find two dog experts to help us catch the dog, she was totally in flight state. The expert let the dog out through two gates (I don't know what that is even possible), then opening the last one I guess ex friend finally realize the dog was scared and would take off so she started chasing the dog, believing she could catch a running dog. Dog just got more scared. I was just in time to put the cats back inside or they would be gone too.

After we looked for the dog the first night, I managed to really hurt my knee cuz I slipped on ice and I am hypermobile. But I felt as long as I can walk, I need to do what I can to catch the dog. Dog was so confused, she didn't know her new home and managed to pass the only bridge across the river, so she was on the other side of the river all the time in many different places, but never found the bridge.

Anyway after the first night, ex friend, friend and me sat on the couch. Ex friend tried to get friend on her side by saying "Look att all my blisters, you need to pity me". Friend just looked her in the eye and said "Well, I don't think you deserve any comfort, think of the dog instead with very thin coat having to sleep in the snow!" Ex friend had expected something else, the usual "Poor you" but it never came so she just got quiet. I didn't brag about my injuries, I managed to get frostbite second last day too and was excluded from the search. But as experts had been called in, they found her without me. I was just happy she came back. I wanted to be out there but there was no way I could have gone out that day. I more felt human and weak, rather that than any "Poor me". I wish I could have done more.

Something almost funny, before the dog took off, she say with my young and strong cat on her lap. She used to have a ragdoll that tolerated everything. I explained my cat isn't that breed so you have to be really careful. When you pet him, you can't hold him, he will stay if he feels safe. But he started to leaved and she held him down really hard. I got mad and said she had to let him go. She said that he must learn to be a nice cat. I said he is, but you are being cruel with him and you're making him scared and mad by giving him no escape. I told her this cat doesn't know how strong he is so when he will bite you he will bite down to your bone in your arm. She called him an insane cat and let him go just a second before I saw that he was really going to bite her. Actually I should have let him bite her.

Your stalker might not be as bizarre, but he is way more trouble than mine, and also more scary. I complain about a handful of messages and you get tons, and they are really sick too. He sure does not sound like a safe person. I feel a little worried now that he is so intense and won't let go. I'm not saying he is dangerous but from what you said, he could be. Mine is just messing up my mental health, and isn't contacting me as often. Now I don't know yours, but he sure sounds scary!!!

Mine has just hurt herself to let others see to evoke pity. She has said the worst things I've ever heard anyone say, but they haven't been threats, just words what she wanted should happen with me. I've breaken off twice with her, I should never taken her back the first time. But she seemed to not even remember what she had said.It was over a year before I kicked her out for good. She told me that she hoped my animals would die so I would hurt. She said I needed to lose all my friends. She said she prayed and hoped for my best friend to die. And my mom and dad she told me she wished would die too. And my sibling and their 7 year old. Told her I should lose my money and my house and have to live as homeless with no one helping me.

After several months I actually contacted her and showed her the message and asked her why she wished that on me. She said she didn't write that because we were just talking and suddenly I left not to come back which hurt her. I asked if she blamed what she said on someone else, but she said that she must have written it, and she was just a little upset, not a big deal since everyone gets upset at times. Yea, I've been upset with people, but I have never in detail told them how all their loved ones should die.

Finally I said to her that she only thinks she is bad off among our mutual friends, I told her what I was dealing with and what others had to carry around with them. Most of them try to fight back despite bad health, bad home situations and things like that. One of them, someone I knew more than she did, actually passed. To that she just cried and then told everyone so they could know it was time to pity her. Thing is, he was a dear friend of mine, they had talked a few times. Also, I felt the most bad for him, because this was the tail end of illness when everything was starting to clear up. They say you can't feel bad for the dead, but I felt bad for him anyway. He had such more to give, and after illness he had planned a big project, something he had put aside for years.

It's weird how I took her back and weird I put some one her stuff before mine. I guess midst craziness I couldn't tell her how crazy it really was.

At the beginning she sent mutual friends to talk me into talking to her. I asked if they knew what happened. They said ex friend had told them I kicked her out over nothing and overreacted. I told my side of the story, and they got quiet, said they know she can be weird sometimes but not that weird. Then they apologized for having bothered me, you could hear how shocked they were. But wasn't their fault, like everyone else they had just been manipulated.
