My Best Friend.

Here are photos of Buddy and I cuddling and snuggling outside yesterday. Excuse my ugly face( have you ever hated yourself so much for being ugly that you just wanted to destroy  yourself and just literally smash your face in? Well, that's for another blog post) but it can't be helped but the images are otherwise so poignant, so touching, and show how much he still loves me even though no one else does, and I'm so grateful and thankful for it. I love him back just as much. I sometimes wonder if he has any idea how much he truly means to me? He's that special dog and special friend that only comes along once in a lifetime. We share a strong bond that will last forever and will never be broken.

Shortly after these photos were taken he alerted me to danger and told me to quickly get inside and within seconds I could see movement out of the corner of my eye: the neighbour's dog next-door, the big scary-looking Mastiff was running loose off-leash in their front yard and inching over closer and closer to our driveway, dangerously close to the front veranda where we were sitting and this dog could easily eat Buddy in seconds( not that I would let it; I would get in-between them and fight to the death trying to save him sacrificing my life for his if need be but I'm not going to take the chance either or put him in any danger,either) so I quickly scooped him up in my arms and we went inside. What a smart dog! He's always been so protective of me too and even when the 13 YR old starts to get aggressive with me he'll get all defensive and protect me by growling at him or even charging at him if he gets too aggressive yelling at me, raging or starts throwing things at me,raising his hand to me, or advancing towards me in an aggressive way.

My friend A's (in Ottawa) girl is also 2 years old already and speaks 3 languages; Mandarin(from her mother), Spanish( like her father) and English( like everyone else) which I find impressive, and we oddly haven't been able to find any diet cola anywhere at all in town which is really strange and all I drink is caffeine-free diet cola and in a pinch I'm even willing to have regular diet cola ( even though I prefer caffeine-free as caffeine can trigger migraines) but can't even find that,either, so I don't know what I'm going to do since that's all I drink. It's the only thing( besides water which I think is flavourless and gross) that doesn't have any calories( and I want my calories to come from my food not my drink and I'm already fat enough as it is) and I already get dehydrated easily as it is with my kidney issues plus it's in the 30 C plus range again with humidex in the 40 C range so you have to drink even more  to stay hydrated, not less.....oh, f*ck, this is going to be a real problem and I only have just over 1 case( of 12) left....I wonder why though? What happened to the supply, and it's not like it's a long holiday weekend or something either and everyone's having a BBQ and bought it all....WTF? It's like we live in some Third World underdeveloped country where you run out of necessities and other supplies.
