GIF not mine also just Imagine that's you and Vision.

You're pacing around the living room rocking Tommy “Sweet, sweet Tommy, don't you wanna sleep? Daddy wants to sleep.” you sigh “if you go to sleep, I promise you will be my favorite twin.” behind you Vision is coming down the stairs “oh, come on now, darling. You know we love them both equally.” “Well, don't tell him that” Vision chuckles. “No luck with Billy”

“Tried reading to him, but for some reason, Charles Darwin’s the descent of man made him crying even harder. Oh. care to dance, darling?” “oh” you both chuckle. “It's almost like we're on a date.” “mm! Keep it down, lads, I was about to get my leg over.” you chuckle. “Vis?” “Hmm” “would you mind grabbing their binkies?” “Oh of course not. Binkies all round, I think” you and Vision set the twins down in their cribs.

Vision walks towards the kitchen “Now, I know parents aren't supposed to take shortcuts, but I think this situation calls for one, don't you?” the babies continue crying “so, go to sleep, my babies.” you move your hand but nothing happens “and go to sleep” you try again. The twins begin giggling “well, I don't think its very funny. Why won't you do what I want?”

“What's that, dear?” the babies start to cry again, you turn to see Vision has the binkies in his ears “that is not where those go” you grab the binkies and clean them “noise cancellation is not their primary function?” you put the binkies on the babies mouth and they stop crying “look, I think it's..” the twins shoot them out and start crying again.

“Vis?” “Mm” “what are we doing wrong?” “Oh don't worry dear.” Vision kisses your forehead “well figure it out. Perhaps we all need more time to get to know one another.” “maybe. Or maybe we just need some help.” the doorbell rings. “Oh” Vision walks over to the sofa and grabs a pillow to cover himself. “Hiya, kids” Agnes entered through the door.

“Oh, Agnes!” “Agnes, I was just fluffing this pillow. With my face” “oh, I was on my way to Jazzercise when i heard your new little bundles of joy were on a sleep strike.” “oh? Who told you that?” Vision asked, “uh, my ears.” Agnes chuckles, “Anyway, Auntie Agnes is here and I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve?” “oh Agnes you're a lifesaver.” “aw”

“Very well. But be careful of their belly buttons and remember to support their heads, and when was the last time you washed... Actually, you know what? It would be... Just... Maybe we better not.” the babies continue to cry, Agnes turns to you “um...uh… Do you want me to take that again?” you turn to look at Vision and turn back to look at Agnes “uh… I'm sorry?” “You want me to hold the babies. Should we just take it from the top?”

Vision chuckles awkwardly “what?” you chuckle “oh don't be silly. Vision, lets… let's let Agnes give it a try.” you chuckle nervously “fussy babies, meet buns of steel. We dare you to stay awake” Agnes and you both chuckle. “M/n” Vision motions for you to follow him “what was that about?” “what was what?” “what was what? That, that with Agnes just now.” you turn to look at Agnes and see that she's rocking the twins

“Well, I think she just got confused for a moment. She seems fine now.” you turn back to look at Vision “but what she said, the way she looked at you?” “how did she look at me?” “well, I dint… oh.” you turn back to look at Agnes she was spraying something over the twins “Lavender. It's supposed to have a calming effect. Ralph sprays it on me every night. But there's no taming this tiger..” she chuckles “it's so strange”

You start to whisper “that's not fair. It's not Agnes fault that she has an unusually high libido” “M/n did you really not see what I saw?” there's a thud behind you two “oh. Don't mind me. I'm just looking for your dark liquor.” “what?” “not for me. For the twins. What kind of babysitter do you think I am? I'm just gonna go and check in there”

You turn to Vision “Vision, the boys haven't slept in days. You and I both need a break and Agnes is just being neighborly, that's all.” the twin’s stopped crying “do you hear that?” “hear that?” “absolutely nothing” you gasp, Vision takes your hand and you two walk over to the cribs, “they finally fell asleep” “they're empty” “then where are the twins” “dad?, daddy?” you gasp “huh”

Agnes sighs “kids” she chuckles “you can't control em. No matter how hard you try” “well, hi” “hi” both you and Vision say “how are you doing, baby?” “aw”

You wander the world with a vision Of what life could be But then the years come and teach you To just wait and see Forces may try to pull us apart But nothing can phase me If you're in my heart Crossing our fingers, singing a song We're making it up as we go along Through the highs and the lows We'll be right, we'll be wrong We're making it up as we go along And there will be days We won't know which way to go But we'll take it higher You're all I desire When the going gets tough When push comes to shove We're making it up 'Cause we got love We got love We got love We got love Baby, we got... M/nVision

You walk around your house looking for Tommy and Billy. “Tommy, Billy?” you walk through the door and see Tommy and Billy standing in the kitchen “you know, I don't miss the crying, but jeez Louise, did you have to learn to walk? You two never stay put. Unless you're innocently forming a human wall in front of the kitchen sink.” someone sneezes “bless you” “Thank you” both Tommy and Billy say.

There's a soft bark “now tell me which one of you just barked? Scoot'' you gasp “oh, boy. waiter , what's this canine doing in my kitchen sink?” you turn to look at the twins “the doggy paddle?” “Can we keep him, daddy?” “Well, I'm sure his owners miss him very much. Come on.” you grab a towel and grab the dog and start to dry them “huh. There really is no collar?” “Can we keep him?”

“He was outside. Crying, alone.” “Now, boys, taking care of a living thing is a big responsibility. Dogs need food, exercise, training, belly rubs, and cuddles. And kisses between their little ears.” “morning, M/n. morning, boys.” you show Vision the dog “Good morning, unfamiliar wet animal.” you chuckle “who is this?” “we're not quite sure. Why so formal, honey?”

“Oh, it's just a precaution really. I had a hunch someone might pop over.” the back door opens and Agnes walks through “hi, kiddos” “with exactly the item we require” “my kitchen window told me someone got a new pooch.” the dog starts barking “did you name him yet?” the dog starts sniffing an outlet “how about sniffy” “oh” Agnes chuckles. Sparks start to come from the outlet causing the dog to yelp and run away. “How about sparky?”

You chuckle and hold out your hand “well, should we make it official?” you move your hand and a dog collar appears tommy takes the collar from you. “M/n” “hmm” “Agnes was right there!” “Well, she didn't notice. She didn't even notice when the boys went from babies to five-year-old's” “that's not what we agreed upon. You made no effort to conceal your abilities.”

“Well, I'm tired of hiding, Vis. and maybe you don't have to either.” you take your hand and start to crease his cheek “M/n, we are usually so much of the same mind. But right now… what aren't you telling me?” “so, is sparky our dog, daddy?” Tommy asks Vision “what?” Sparky starts to whimper.

“Boys, your father and I don't think you're ready to properly care for an animal until you're at least…” you turn to Vision “Ten” he coughs “Ten” “ten years old” you show them 10 fingers. The twins look at each other and smile “wait, now hang on there a minute…” “wait, no, no, no.” “...you young whippersnappers.” “no, no, no” you gasp as the twins age up. “Lets just hope this dog stays the same size.” Agnes chuckles “woof, woof”

You're in the living room with Tommy sitting next to you on the sofa “sit, Sparky. Now spin. Good boy” “oh bravo, Billy you weren't so bad either, Sparky” you and Tommy both clap “that's was radical. Where's dad? We gotta go show dad!” Tommy got up and walked towards the kitchen Billy followed behind him. “Oh, hes… hes at work” “huh?” “It's Saturday” the twins turn to look at you “no, it's not. It's Monday” “this morning was Saturday.”

“There was an emergency at the office and your father had to go in. end of story. look , he just… he needed a distraction.” “from what?” “from us?” “no! No way! No” you get up from the sofa and walk over to them “sometimes” you start to walk them over to the sofa so you can sit “your dad and I aren't on the same page, but that's just temporary. Like the two of you, you might fight over toys, but he's always going to be your brother. And he is always going to be yours. Because family is forever.”

“Do you have a brother dad?” “I do. Yeah he's far away from here. And it makes me sad sometimes.” Sparky begins to bark and he runs toward the door. “Hey , sparky, what's up boy?” sparky begins to growl “something scaring him” “stay here” you tell the twins and walk outside. You see a drone and you can hear a voice “M/n this is captain Monica Rambeau. Can you hear me? I just want to talk. That's it.” you look up at the drone and your eyes begin to glow red.

You use your powers to take the drone down and you grab it and start walking towards the outskirts of Westview. You can see the force field you put around the town and start to walk through it. You come out on the other side to see a camp of some sorts. “Is this yours?” you throw the drone at Haywards feet, you can still see your powers covering the drone. They have men and women armed around pointing their guns at you.

“The missile was just a precaution. You can hardly blame us. M/n” “oh, I think I can. This will be your only warning. Stay out of my home.” “I wish it could be that simple. You've taken an entire town hostage.” “Well, I'm not the one with the guns, Director.” “but you are the one in control.” “you're still here?” you start to see the red ball of energy around your hand.

“M/n, I didn't know the drones were armed. But you know that, don't you?” she begins to walk towards you “A town full of civilians. And you, a telepath, brought a S.W.O.R.D. Agent into your home. You trusted me to help deliver your babies. On some level, M/n, you know I am an ally. I wanna help you.” “how? What could you possibly have to offer me?”

“What do you want?” “I have what I want and no one” you look at Hayward “will ever take it from me again” you raise your arm and see the familiar red glow around the armed men. They all turn their guns at Hayward and you start to walk away. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa stand down!” “M/n” “Stand down”

you use your powers to change the force field you put around making it glow red you turn around one last time and walk through again.

“Sparky! Come on boy!” “sparky, sparky” you're walking around with the twins looking for sparky. “hey , what's the trouble little dudes?” “we can't find our dog” “ah, don't worry. He's sure to turn up. Your dad wont let him get far. Sir.” “I don't know where he could've gone” you tell the twins “here, boy, Sparky! Sparky!” you hear some rustling near some bushes “Sparky”

Agnes pops up holding something that appears to be wrapped “sparky”. Agnes sighs “I… I didn't wanna come until id wrapped him up.” “What happened to him?” you ask “found him in my azalea bushes. Don't know how many leaves he ate. I didn’t find him until it was too late. Oh…. Tommy. Billy, I'm so sorry.” you turn to look at the twins and see them looking at each other and nodding.

“Wait. Don't. Don’t” they look at you “don't what?” “don't age yourselves up. The urge to run from this feeling is powerful. I know.” “It's too sad” “you can fix anything, Dad. fix the dead.” “what? no” “you can do that?” you turn to look at Agnes and turn back to the twins “I am trying to tell you that there are rules in life, okay? We can't rush aging just because it's convenient.” you chuckle “And we can't reverse death. No matter how sad it makes us. Okay? Some things are forever.”

You can hear Agnes sigh behind you “you said family is forever.” “He is family. Bring him back, dad” “bring who back?” Vision looks over at Agnes “oh, boys. Come here” the twins walk over and hug Vision. Later you are picking up some toys and you turn to see Vision walk through the back door. “How are the boys?”

“A little heartbroken, but they'll be alright” “well, it's not often you get a dog and bury them the same day.” “Well, life moves pretty fast out in the suburbs.” you grab the basket of toys and take it over to the counter “I spoke with Norm” “Oh?” you look over at him confused. “I unearthed the man's suppressed personality and spoke to him free of your oversight. He was in pain, M/n”

“Vision…” you chuckle softly “listen, can we just…” “what? Watch tv? Turn in for the night so you can change everything over again? No, M/n. you can't control me the way you do to them” you look at him “Can’t I? I'm going to bed��� “no! We're not done here. What is the Maximoff Anomaly?”

“The what?” “I have to believe that this, whatever this is, was subconsciousness at first and you only recently became aware of it.” “aware of what?” you walk out of the kitchen “Norm has a family, M/n” “he has a family, and he can't reach them because you won't let him reach them!” “I don't know what you're talking about” you turn to look at him. “Stop lying to me!” Vision begins to float.

The familiar red glow around your hand appears and you begin to float in front of him “This, all of this is for us. So let me handle it.” “What is outside of Westview?” “you don't wanna know, i promise you.” “you don't get to make that choice for me M/n” he points at you “you've never talked to me like this before” you start to slowly fall back to the ground.

“Before what?” Vision raises his Voice “before what? I can't remember my life before Westview. I don't know who I am! I'm scared!” you look up at him “you are my husband, you are Tommy and Billy’s father. Isn't that enough.” Vision slowly comes down “M/n, why are there no other children in Westview.” you walk over to the sofa and sit down “oh, god. There are just stop it.”

“No. no. the playground stands empty every morning I walk to work. Why? Tell me why?” “ Do you really think that I am controlling everything? That I am somehow in charge of everybody in Westview? I'm walking their dogs, mowing their lawns, getting them to dentist appointments on time? I mean, I…” you chuckle dryly ”I don't know how any of this started in the first place.”

“M/n, what you're doing here, it's wrong” he walks around and kneels in front of you “I…” “It's wrong” the doorbell rings, getting the attention of you and Vision “I didn't do that. I… you don't believe me.” “M/n, i want to, but at this point, I'm ignoring statistics entirely.” the doorbell rings a second time you get up and walk over to the door. You open the door, and are shocked “M/n who is this?”

“Long lost bro gets to squeeze his stinking brother to death or what?” “Pietro?” he nods, he opens his arms and you and hug him “who's the popsicle?” he points and Vision.

Protective Dad

George Weasley x reader

Description: Sirius Black doesn’t allow his daughter to sleep in the same bed as her boyfriend. But of course she doesn’t listen.

Writers note: I thought Of this idea and had to write it. it’s currently 1am and I wrote this while very tired so excuse me if this is bad.

After you spent the first half of your summer proving your fathers innocence you was finally a family again. You, your dad and mum could live at Grimmauld Place with your father not fearing he’d get shut back in Azkaban. You had spent your last weeks of Hogwarts and the few weeks of summer researching and going to hearings. Ever since you was little you knew your father, Sirius Black was innocent and as soon as he contacted you in your third year and told you everything you knew that your years of defending him weren’t a waste. That day was one of the happiest days of your life.

You sat under a tree beside the lake when you saw a big black dog in the corner of your eye. You turned and furrowed your eyebrows. whats a dog doing here you thought. The dog came closer and nudged at you arm, ‘hello doggie’ you smiled petting him. The dog pulled at the sleeve of you robe, ‘What is it?’ You questioned the dog. The dog continued to pull so you decided to get up. The dog then let go and ran towards the forest he turned to see if you was following. You hesitated but chased after him. You ran deep into the forest after the stray dog, feeling awfully stupid for following a dog into such a dangerous place. Once you where deep into the forest the dog stopped and stared at you. You watched it transform into the man you had seen on many pictures in your house. Your father. ‘Dad!’ You said and jumped into his arms, he hugged you tightly. ‘I’ve missed you so much, Y/N/N.’

Now that your summer had finally and truly begun you decided to get your boyfriend to stay over for a few nights. George had already met your dad, he’d dragged George and you Into the Forrest in his animagi disguise to introduce himself to your new (and first) boyfriend. You thought this was a bad idea but George took it surprisingly well. ‘George good to see you again’ said your father hugging the handsome redhead. Your mother did the same and kissed him on the cheek. ‘Dinner should be ready soon, just leave your trunk in the hall for now, dear’ your mother said. ‘Thank you for letting me stay for a few nights, Mr and Mrs Black’ George smiles as he sat down next to you. ‘Please, call me Morwenna’ your mother smiled. You all spoke of school and quidditch as you ate your food. ‘I can help you take your trunk to my room in a second’ you said smiling at your boyfriend. ‘Nope, not your room’ your dad said taking a sip of his drink, ‘he’s not sleeping In your room.’ ‘Why not?’ You said furrowing you’re eyebrows. ‘Because I said’ he said. ‘Mum please’ you wined. ‘If your father says no then no Y/N’ she said lightly. ‘Pleaseee’ you frowned at your dad. He shook his head at you. You stropped back into your chair to show your annoyance and saw George smirk at you. You loved it when he smirked, he looked so hot. You loved everything about George. He was also the only person that believed you when you said your father was innocent. After the meal was done you and George gave each other a good nights kiss and parted into your separate rooms.

You couldn’t sleep. You tossed and turned in bed trying to find a comfortable spot. You just wanted George to lay with you. You’d be able to hear and feel his breath upon your skin as your limbs tangled with each other. You had no idea why your dad didn’t allow him to sleep in the same room as you. But when did Y/N Black ever listen to rules, you where your fathers daughter after all. You slipped the covers off and opened the creaky door slowly so that it made as little noise as possible. Tiptoeing across the landing you came face to face with Kreacher. His dark figure almost gave you a heart attack, ‘mistress Y/N-‘ he said as he bowed to you. You cut him off by shushing him, ‘goodnight Kreacher’ you said as you opened George’s door. You heard Kreacher mutter goodnight and a few other words as you shut the door behind you. You turned and jumped as you saw George sat upright staring at you. ‘You scared the life out of me’ you whispered sitting on the bed. ‘Sorry, love’ he said kissing your lips, ‘what are you doing here?’ ‘To cuddle you of course’ you said as you pushed the boy down. You wriggled under the cover and into his side. ‘I was just thinking about how you used to chace me and Fred around the castle’ he said amused. You laughed at this and snuggled your nose into his neck and thought about the many times you’d chased the redheads around the castle throwing spells at them as revenge from their pranks. The twins liked to prank you a lot, mostly from the reaction they got from you but also because of George’s huge crush on you. ‘Remember the time you threw a pie in my face?’ You said giggling. ‘How could I forget, we got the whole hall having a food fight’ he laughed, ‘The 2 weeks detention with snape was horrible though.’ ‘Well you did throw an apple at his head, he had a huge bruise’ you couldn’t contain your laughter as you thought back to snape with a huge egg sized bruise on his forehead.

You couldn’t even remember falling asleep but you opened your eyes to see your handsome boyfriend cuddle into your chest. You closed your eyes again to fall back asleep when you heard the door creak open. ‘I told you she wouldn’t listen’ you mother whispered. ‘I have an idea’ your father said running down the stairs. After a few minutes he entered the room banging two pans together. The noise making you cup your ears to minimise the loud sound. The noise had also woke George and he too was shielding his ears. ‘Good morning!’ Your father yelled still banging the pans together. ‘Sirius!’ Your mother yelled and your father looked at her and stopped the banging. ‘What are you doing?’ You wines covering your head with the covers. ‘Saying good morning’ he said taking the covers off your head, ‘you’re not supposed to be in hereee’ he said tickling you. ‘But it’s so unfairrr’ you said through giggles. George watched with a smile as you laughed uncontrollably. ‘No more sleeping with George’ he said walking out the room. ‘He’s crazy’ you laughed looking at George. ‘I think he’s brilliant’ George said kissing you. You cupped his face as he lay you down. Your lips moving together, fitting together like a puzzle piece. Knock knock. ‘I want you out of the room in 10 seconds or the pans come out again’ you heard a muffled voice from outside the door. You groaned and gave George a final kiss before opening the door to go get dressed.

Thanks for reading! :)

Part One!!!

Today, Sunday, March 29th, 2020 at 10:13 PM

My name is Emily. I have a 1 and 1/2 year old dog named Rocky. He is being euthanized due to human aggression and what is believed to be Sudden Onset Aggression Syndrome on April 2nd, 2020 at 11:00 AM EST. I’m ashamed to admit this, but he is my favorite dog. He’s my first “big” dog. I had another dog before him, Bella, who’s a chihuahua, and she is a very passive, very timid dog. She gets jealous easily. She doesn’t like Rocky because I brought him into our lives and she was jealous. He was always bigger than her, but he doesn’t know his strength and size, so he’ll accidentally hurt her. He tries to play with her but she doesn’t play. Not with him, not with toys. Anyways, I like to say I rescued Rocky. He was 8 weeks old when I got him. I paid $100 for him. He was in the possession of these people who were doing drugs, they had a filthy home, and neglected their puppies, although I don’t think they meant to really neglect them. There were three of them, if I could’ve taken them all I would’ve. But I took Rocky because he was the one they plopped in my arms. They said they’d probably keep him if I didn’t take him, so I prided myself on the fact I probably saved him from backyard breeders. I paid for him and left. It was raining when I walked out of their home, it was November 5th, 2018. He was born on August 31st, 2018. They gave me a blanket to take with us; his blanket. I lost it though. He adjusted very well into our family. He was a very good boy. I remember taking him for walks and he would try to walk the opposite way I was walking so I had to walk backwards to coax him into walking my direction. He finally got walking on a leash down pat, so I started socializing him with people. He loved people. In January 2019 we went to the vet for the first time. I remember something the vet technician said to him which has been replaying in my mind a lot lately; “I can’t wait to watch you grow up!” It warmed my heart when it was spoken, but now it causes my heart to ache unbearably. Why? Because although he did get the chance to grow up, he won’t get the chance to continue growing. He’ll never get gray and old. He’ll never be an old dog. A month after his vet appointment, he reacted in an aggressive manner to a stranger while on our walk. I will admit I did a shoddy job socializing him but in my defense it was a very bad winter and there was nobody besides the people in our home and friend group to socialize him with. I also didn’t feel comfortable socializing him with other dogs until he had his shots, which he got in January. He is a very smart boy, he learned how to sit, shake, high five, and lay down. He could also catch treats and toys in his mouth and that was so amazing to me. Anyways, he reacted negatively, and I thought it was a freak thing. I was under the impression that dogs aren’t inherently aggressive, you have to abuse them for them to be aggressive. His aggression didn’t stop, and it only intensified from there. I brought him to my animal science classroom at my vocational school, as they had a doggy day care, but he didn’t last 15 minutes. He was cowering, and very afraid of the other two dogs, and snapped at one of the dogs, and drew blood. It was just a very tiny scratch on the dogs nose from his tooth, but it was enough. I immediately apologized and took him home. He never acted aggressively towards any of the students or the teacher at the time, so I assumed that like most dogs of his breed, he was dog reactive. At least towards strange dogs. That seemed true enough, as eventually he had a doggy play date with my boyfriend’s beagle. They were both muzzled the entire time, but Rocky did surprisingly well with the dog until toys got involved. He was more interested in the people though. His aggression started very suddenly, but it was subtle at first. He was resource guard his food from the cats only, then he’d start lunging at strangers during walks, then started biting me when I wouldn’t let him bite someone, and then biting unprovoked towards members of our family, most notably my 9 year old sister.....

[opossumly-cryptic]

I've had my doggo for about 5 years and I feel like you guys need to know about him

•He's a rescue, and we originally didn't want to even meet him because in the kennel all he did was bark and bare his teeth

•The second he entered the meeting room he calmed down and got super cuddly and sweet

•Didn't know how to play at first (he was 5 years old)

•Seriously we gave him so many toys, and the best response we got was a blank eyed stare

•After weeks of cuddles he slowly came out of his shell and learned wtf toys are for

•Expresses excitement and happiness by barking and baring his teeth while wagging his tail

•Was never socialized as a pupper so we took him to the dog park a lot to help teach him to play with other dogs

•It didn't really work, but once in a blue moon he'll chase other dogs for like 10 seconds

•Is a big fricking bully to any dog under a year old. Size doesn't matter. My dog is a pomeranian, I could easily punt him across the room, yet he has sent full grown rottweilers running with their tails down.

•Doesn't know wtf crying means and I need to actively avoid him when I'm sad because he'll just get mad

•Hates everyone except our family

•But would never bite a living soul

•Tolerates kids no matter how rough they are with him

•Is a fluffy ball of destruction that goes through his toys within 2-3 days

•EXCEPT for this giant stuffed lamb we got him that's literally his size. He loves it to pieces, but not literal pieces :)

•Everyone assumes he's female because his fur is so pretty

•We used to leave him at doggy daycare once a week, and each time he'd spend the whole day avoiding other dogs and sitting in the corner

•Despite his roughness is a VERY good boi and deserves ALL the love he wants

My first 3 days

Day 1: Today I started my Appalachian trail thru hike journey. I woke up at hotel in Dawsonville, GA from sitting in a car, that my parents were so graciously driving, all day yesterday. We had an exquisite dinner the night before and my tummy wasn’t feeling well. I woke up at 7 am and took a nice long hot shower since I wouldn’t be having one in a long while. It was good for a hotel shower and I was thoroughly cleaned. I brushed and flossed as well. Afterwards my parents took turns doing their morning ritual and we left the hotel around 8:30 pm. We stopped at a breakfast place and a grocery store before heading to the trail. By that time my stomach was feeling better. Once we got to the visitors center I had a little orientation with several other thru hikers and were showed a new method to hang our food so bears couldn’t get it. After that I was off! My parents joined me to the top of the Amicalola Falls and after some pictures and hugging I was by myself for the rest of the 7 miles to the start of the Appalachian trail. It doesn’t start at the visitors center it starts at the summit of spring mountain which is an 8.8 miles climb from the visitors center. So I technically haven’t started the trail yet. Once I got started from the falls where my parents sent me off I was going at a nice pace and my legs fell into a rhythm and the pain from going up the falls seemed to melt away. I crossed some other hikers when the trail crossed a gravel road and kept going up. They were looking beat and I stopped to have a quick drink of water. We talked a bit but then I started cooling down which I didn’t want to do yet. So I kept going. I got back into my rhythm and got up a quite steep part until it went flat for a while. It was nice listening to nature through my grunts and breathing and hearing nothing. It was awesome. The farther I got the more I hurt. My legs were aching and my lower back was complaining but I kept on trudging. Of course it got to a point where I had to stop and eat some trail mix and more water. After finishing the trail mix from several stops I was almost there. I also had to sit down a few times to rest my legs. Eventually I made it to the to of springer mountain. There was one point where I crested a hill and was looking at the summit from below where I thought “that cannot be the summit its too far”. But of course I was wrong and walked up it anyway. After resting at the top I started down the actual Appalachian trail. I was beat so I decided to set up camp near the shelter 100 yards from the summit. It didn’t take long and it was well marked. I set up my hammock and put my sleeping bag and pad in to weigh it down as it likes to flip over when empty. Then I got my med kit out to put some mole skin on some parts of my foot that were getting rubbed. After that I got my food out and heated up some water to cook it. Tonight was chili with beef dehydrated by my loving mother so all I had to do was boil water and pour it in there. While it was cooking I started to shiver as the wind picked up and a drizzle started. I had on my gloves and my long johns and my fleece and my rain gear but I was still cold. Wishing I had my ski jacket but knowing that it would be way too bulky and heavy. Once the water was boiling not even a minute later I poured it over my food and let it sit in the food cozy my mom sewed together herself. She treats me well. There were lots of other people at the campsite and one of them even had a dog but it was very protective and would growl at you if you got near the owner. Still a good boy. I ate my chili after it had rehydrated and then climbed into my hammock because everyone else was retreating to their sleeping bags to get out of the cold. I laid down inside and just felt my body slowly warm up but the wind kept chilling my butt and I wished I had an under quilt. I’ll buy one maybe at the next town and see where I can fit it. The rain slowly tapered off until it was only drops falling from the trees blown by the wind. It was after dark then and I slipped into a warm cold sleep.

Day 2: This morning sucked. I was woken at midnight by a cold wind that sent shivers up and down my body. I also had to pee really badly but I didn’t want to get out of my sleeping bag knowing it was much colder outside it. I tried to fall asleep and I must have been successful because th next time I woke up was at 4 am. I noticed that all the condensation that happens from you breathing with a rain fly above your head was frozen to the ceiling of my hammock. You see my hammock is basically a floating coffin with an insulated bottom and a rain fly that encloses me in a protective cocoon from wind and rain. Unfortunately it was way below 32 and it doesn’t protect me from sheer cold. My sleeping bag is rated for 20 degrees so it must of been below that as well. At 4 I begrudgingly got myself out of the hammock tiptoed to a tree and pissed on it. Then I scurried back into a relatively warmer hammock except it wasn’t warm enough for me to fall back asleep. I just lay with my eyes closed trying different positions trying to get warm. I put my rain pants on and put my rain jacket over my sleeping bag to protect it a little from the eventual drops of the frozen condensation when it warms up in the morning. I changed my alarm from 7 am to 8:30 thinking I could get a little sleep after sunrise instead of getting up at sunrise. So when 8:30 comes around i tell myself there’s no reason to stay inside any longer. I start to unzip my bag as my brain is telling me “WHAT ARE YOU DOING ITS COLDER OUT THER YA DINGUS” but I ignore him. As I get outside I look around and everything is frozen. Every branch is covered in ice and even my hammock is covered too. I quickly put my rain coat on to warm myself up and do some exercises to get warmer. I jog in place and stretch before starting to pack camp. I even make some tea to help with the cold. I try to eat my breakfast of cliff bars but they were frozen solid so I put them in my inner pockets to warm them up. I pack everything back into my pack and set off knowing I’ll warm up faster from hiking. While I’m hiking the wind is blowing the ice off the branches in wood chip sizes. It was like walking past a wood chipper when it spews the wood out. But ice was falling on me instead. Sometimes it hurt but mostly it just fell on me harmlessly. I had most of my clothes on including my long johns and fleece and rain gear. It surprisingly didn’t become uncomfortably hot until mile 4. I had descended quite a bit from starting on top of spring we mountain and it was just raining from the branches down here. I passed many people and even several doggies. When I was changing out of my warm clothes a bunch of day hikers with their children came by asking how far I was going and when I replied they said to their children, “wow he’s better than all of us combined”. It brought a smile to my face. As I kept hiking along I stopped at one point to eat my breakfast and some beef jerky and just listened to nature. I was surprised no one passed by during that moment since there was so many people today. There was a pair of guys with a dog that kept playing leap frog with me. I asked them where they were headed and they said the same place as me but they didn’t know if they’d make it at their pace. I kept going knowing I’d see them again. Then I found a glorious sight. A big tent with oodles of food and water underneath it. A group of adults who had thru hiked before had set up a table and rain tarp and were handing out goodies. A bunch of other hikers were there already and while I was munching and drinking more hikers stopped by as well. We all talked about different things and at one point a guy asked me about my future and I said I was going to grad school for robotics. He replied, “Robotics?!?!?, you mean you wanna be responsible for sky net?” And one of his friends said, “Oh Terry shut it with that trash”. I chuckled and responded with, “No I want to help make sure skynet doesn’t happen”. That brought a few chuckles and the subject was changed after that. As soon as I was done I thanked them all and headed on my way determined to go 15 miles before sundown. But as it turns out that was a mistake. At around mile 8.5 my knee started giving out going down a hill so I stopped took it easy and rested. Then when I thought it was better I kept going. It wasn’t better and I gingerly limped hoping maybe taking some weight off it would be good but still gaining ground. Eventually it came to the point where I was limping painfully and after a frantic text to my mom and dad (I was lucky for any cell service) I staked camp at a little tent site about 4.5 miles from my destination. It hurt to put any weight on the knee so i just sat and elevated it on my sleeping pad. A couple hikers passed by and when they asked if I was camping here I told them of my predicament and one of them handed me an instant ice pack. It helped reduce some of the swelling and made it so I could get to work on setting up my hammock again. Before I set in for the night I had to put my food into a bear bag using the pct method. The method involves pulling your bag full of food up all the way to the branch then tying a stick in the middle of the rope so when you let go, the stick keeps the bag suspended and the bear can’t cut the string to get your food which they had now learned to do. It took me a while to find a branch suitable to carry my food since my food weight about 10 pounds and all the branches around here looking pretty flimsy. Eventually I found one and with a little difficulty, since it was my first time doing it, I had my food suspended in air. Afterwards I went back to my hammock jumped in and enjoyed the music of nature. I even took a video because there was a really loud bird of some sort making some weird noises. I thought it was an owl but let me know what you think. Then since it was going to rain again I closed up my rain fly just as the sun was setting. Before going to bed fully, I read my book a little bit until sleep took taking me by the hand into dreamland.

Day 3: Today I tried to hike on my hurt knee today but had no luck. I got myself to Horse Gap where the trail crossed a road. There many hikers passed me making sure I was okay with one hippie looking girl offering me some pot to ease my pain. I of course said no. I had called a cab company to come pick me up and take me to a drug store so I could pick up a knee brace. Luckily a local who helped thru hikers with their problems had happened by and agreed to let me hitch a ride with him. We drove to Coopers gap where he handed off some packs back to some other hikers who asked him to carry some weight for them. After meeting them and talking with other hikers that stopped to get some water from his truck we drove down to the town of Dahlonega. There we stopped at a Rite aid so I could get a knee brace and then to a motel where I got a room for the night since I wasn’t capable of getting back on the trail with my knee in this condition. It was a cheap motel called the Mountain Inn and I got a room for 65 dollars. So I cooped up and watched some TV and read a book to keep my knee healing. I iced it as well to reduce the swelling. I also got to hang my stuff over the shower to dry since my hammock and sleeping pad were wet from this mornings rainstorm. Hopefully the rest will help and I’ll be back on the trail tomorrow I already have a shuttle service booked to get me back to the trail so I can try again and this time take it slow. That’s all today I’ll update you on my progress tomorrow hopefully it won’t be bad enough to go back home.

20 THOUGHTS: A bit unfit and a bit fat, but that’s alright

LAST Saturday night was just weird.

This column, with tongue firmly in cheek, prides itself on its gambling connection (Nat Fyfe, if you can get anything over $3 for the Brownlow just remortgage the house, don’t be subtle).

So to think of the possible odds for North to score only one goal, into Doggies 21 goals in a row, into the Wallabies highest ever score against New Zealand, sweet Jesus what a multi.

Then looking ahead to this weekend, first plays second, third plays fourth, another must-watch weekend of footy.

Oh, and Lord’s starts tomorrow night. You’re welcome.

  1.       Positive up front, and how bloody good is Roughy? Gets a send off this Sunday and rightfully so. 282 games but remember he lost a good chunk with his cancer battle. Almost 600 goals and was a key member of four flags. Two All-Australians and a Coleman too to boot. Bonafide legend. Onya Rough.

2.       Ben Simmons gets another mention, but I’m kinda confused. Don’t get me wrong, this column doesn’t resile from the stance his ‘late withdrawal’ from the Boomers-Team USA game was stinky, especially after he just signed a new contract; he isn’t jeopardising getting a new one. He has been paid. But now all the other shade getting thrown his way seems a bit tall poppy. The Crown thing was a complete non-story, sure, not everyone’s a 200 million dollar NBA player, but how many bastards are getting knocked back from the cas every minute? And then coverage on perceptions of petulance and what not, when the coverage of his philanthropy in and around paid gigs isn’t quite sexy enough so it doesn’t happen? Look. Whack him for not suiting up for the Boomers. Aside from that, this has been a good return home, not a train wreck some media outlets would lead you to believe.

3.       Speaking of train wrecks, the Bombers, my word. Sure, the game was horrendous and that’s been spoken about. But to do that when clearly the whole week leading up was how they would respond to the thrashing to Port a week earlier. Like that? So either Freo cops a twice-as-motivated Essendon this week looking to make amends for a fortnight of crap, or things do indeed come in three’s?

4.       Dogs were ace though. They get that fling and ping footy going, dish, dish, then hammer down the field almost Mighty Ducks flying V style, its amazing to watch and incredibly effective. Might be playing off for a finals spot last round at Ballarat against the Crows. Would be good to see them make it, even if they have dropped some dud games this season.

5.       Josh Dunkley was a scroungy forward type in the premiership year, then been a bit ‘yes, no, not sure’, but the last two months works harder than Lance Armstrong fresh from a Priceline visit. Lovely story, hope this blooms into one hell of a career. Kid can play.

6.       Speaking of kids, this column has adopted ‘the Fog’. Darcy Fogarty, a country kid who is 6”4 and almost 15 stone in the old, lump of a lad, can seriously go. Sporting Mark Riccuito’s old number, he was taken at pick 12 in the 2017 draft, and this columnist is very happy with who the Pies took at pick six despite that player now being suspended for too much time on the pick six, but was eyeing off the Fog to end up in black and white, such was his potential. Boom junior, great size. Last weekend finally gets a breakout game, five snags against a good West Coast backline over there; he will own that goal square for a decade that boy. The Fog. Very much ‘a buy’.

7.       And how the AFL gave the Rising Star nom to Oscar Allen over Fog is a travesty. Not like you could have missed Fog’s game, whilst Allen booted three snags at one end, not hard to see the Fog dominate at the other, wouldn’t have thought. Morons.

8.       Crouch brothers, a fan, not at Fog levels but still. 88 touches between them, 10 tackles, 15 clearances, 12 inside 50s. Without them, Eagles win easy by eight goals if not more. The two Ballarat boys can play.

9.       Enjoying the Al-Clarkson version of Chad Wingard. Was too happy to wear long sleeves on a dry but cool day in Adelaide and get away with not doing extras. Now, in a club that bans long sleeves and embraces adversity, strength through struggle, he is looking like an AFL footballer. Playing majority onball of late, has had over 20 touches the last month and averaged 28 the last two weeks. Upward trajectory for him I sense.

10.   Freo win that, its an easy three votes for Nat Fyfe and that come Brownlow night might be the votes that sets off the flash photography. Should still get the three but now might be a sneaky two. Either way, this column did appoint the Bont as the best player in the comp, last three weeks the Freo skipper has averaged 32 touches, eight clearances and a goal a game. It’s Bont over Fyfe just right now. Just.

11.   But Jack Steven gets votes for Sunday, played well, good to see him out there first and foremost. Had a terrible year away from footy and we hope that its only good things from here on out, but gee he is a good footballer when going. Quick, exciting, skillful. Hopefully a big 2020 in store for him.

12.   And low and behold, Dann Hannebery played some good footy too. What a surprise to some, hey? But look, that game on Sunday is the kind of value the Saints could use. If he can produce more of that over the next 24 months, too stay on the park, despite all the nay-sayers at the start of the year the move for St Kilda will have been incredibly shrewd and well justified after all.

13.   Good stat on Fox Footy Monday – Richmond has only played one game against a top four team all year, that was Geelong a few weeks ago and got spanked. Further, West Coast have only played two top eight teams after Round Six, once was a win over Essendon, but given last Saturday that’s not much to write home about, and then a home loss to Collingwood a month or so back. Form line questions much?

14.   And its why we still question Brisbane. Have 15 wins on the board but have basically played Frankston Dolphins seven times. Now after last Saturday I’m not as sold on this theory, but give Essendon some confidence back, and some of their absent stars too, if the Bombers and Lions played each other 10 times, say on neutral ground, the Dons win at least five for mine, no doubt. Their records against top 8 teams are basically identical. Alas, on different paths though.

15.   Christian Petracca only had one game above 20 touches before Queen’s Birthday, and that was against the Gold Coast. Since then he has had a few. He is an absolute front runner. Needs to get out of Melbourne and get under a Clarkson or Chris Scott who’ll make him work. We’ve highlighted Wingard at Hawthorn, something similar might just extract the amazing talent out of the former no.2 pick. He should be a Cripps or Dangerfield in the guts, but is playing like a poor man’s Jack Gunston. Disappointing. So is his club too in 2019 for that matter.

16.   Steve Coniglio, its GWS or Carlton it seems. Reckon the Giants would be stiff to lose him given they let go of Shiel, Setterfield, Lobb amongst others last year because of a cap crunch, particularly when it came to keeping cash aside for Josh Kelly and Coniglio. Still think he stays, I think if he was to go it would have been home, and I don’t see WA acquiring Tim Kelly and Coniglio this year, and Kelly is a definite.

17.   Kelly gets to Freo, I think, don’t see the Eagles making it work without a surprise. Brad Hill definitely comes back to Victoria off the back of that, but probably not Geelong. Jack Steven to the Cats still has legs, if nothing else to get back to Lorne, near family and friends – would be ideal given his mental health. But too, if the Saints don’t think they’re winning a flag within three years, then Steven who turns 30 around Round One next year, it just makes sense then despite his overwhelming love for the red, white and black.

18.   Ashes, quick one, reckon they’d like to play Mitch Starc but they may go in unchanged. Josh Hazlewood definitely plays Headingly in the third test though, as it starts only a couple days after the Lord’s test finishes, very quick turnarounds. Cam Bancroft plays tomorrow night, and just needs to get a gutsy 30 I reckon either innings to stay in the team. Langer loves him, and can see the potential. But remember, if Australia wins this test, England would need to win all three tests left to get the Urn. A draw and England will need at least two more wins but don’t forget, two of the last three tests are in the British Autumn. Don’t need Jane Bunn to tell you how wet that gets.

19.   So those Wallabies huh? Where’d that come from? Want to see more though from this weekend’s inevitable loss at Eden Park, coz the form line doesn’t stack up. Two matches ago in South Africa still looked mighty concerning. So yes, awesome, great stuff, but I’m reluctant to trust in it too much. However, Samu Kerevi, he is a superstar. Remember his name. Most talented rugby player we’ve had in a generation, an equal to someone going through the courts right now we won’t mention. Between him and James O’Connor, there’s the pairing that could propel the Wallabies deep into a World Cup that until recently they had no rights to do.

20.   And we finish with Perth. Specifically Optus Stadium. So they’ve had a NRL State of Origin, they hosted Manchester United and now smashed out an amazing Bledisloe Cup fixture. Meanwhile, we no doubt have the strongest ever WA Origin side in our grasps and it’ll never play a game, more specifically nor at that amazing ground. Littered with Brownlows, Colemans, All-Australians, Premierships, it’s a crying shame. So, if you don’t bring it back for good, at least let the people of Western Australia see their greatest ever team at a venue that’s clearly good for everyone else’s spectacles but not one of our own? Gil. Fix it.

Reversible puffer jacket

This vest is so cute that a human could wear it. But don’t think about it, this is made specifically for puppies.

We love how this vest is completely reversible. Wear it orange one day and tan the next. Both colors are great in fall!

It’s also hardwearing and water repellent. And you can machine wash, which is especially great if you know how goober dogs can.

This sweater is fantastic if:

You are stylish AND your dog has bragging rights.

You live an active lifestyle and your dog needs a little more warmth to keep up.

Word to the wise

Of course, not all dogs wear a sweater. If your dog isn’t digging the outfit, don’t force it. It is not worth it.

Or, if they can just tolerate it a little, put it on when the company is over for them to see and then you’re done.

However, if your dog doesn’t mind wearing clothes (most dogs don’t) and he gives them a little extra warmth then give it a try. We love this idea for a vacation!

Speaking of warmth, many dogs, especially smaller dogs, tend to fall colder than they can handle and need the warmth and protection of a sweater.

Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com

New Post has been published on http://doggietrainingclasses.com/dog-gone-problems-18-month-old-goldendoodle-doesnt-respect-its-14-year-old-owner-momaha-com/

Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com

Dog Gone Problems is a weekly advice column by David Codr, a dog behaviorist in Omaha. David answers dog behavior questions sent in by our readers. You can reach him at dogbehaviorquestions@gmail.com.

I have an 18-month-old Goldendoodle who is a very kind and loving dog. My family’s intent is for him to work as a therapy dog. The problem is I am a 14-year-old small girl who this dog doesn’t respect at all. I feel like I have tried everything. My family has hired behaviorists and trainers. I walk him 30 minutes a day — morning and night — and I train him for 10 minutes after each one of those walks. No matter what I do, he doesn’t respect me. However, he respects the rest of my family. All my dad has to do is walk in the room and he will drop whatever he has. It’s the same with my brothers, who are 11- and 16-years-old.

The next issue is that he has possession aggression. He is very fast. He grabs everything and does not let it go (at least for me). For example, he loves socks and will swallow them. Because of this he has had to get two surgeries and has had multiple visits to the vet to induce vomiting. We have buckets with lids and locks, but he can also open doors. When he gets something to chew on and I try to take it away, he growls — a lot. Then when I try to open his jaw, he bites me.

I need help. How can I make him respect me? Is it my fault or the dog’s? 

Wow. It sounds like you have quite a few issues going on. From what you wrote, it appears you are doing some good work already. Maybe we just need to add a little fine tuning. I can share a few tips.

Let’s break your letter down into individual sections so you can focus on one thing at a time.

First, respect for dogs can be confusing. Some of the factors may be related to your age and stature. Size matters to dogs. That said, one of my former apprentices has gone on to become a dog behaviorist and she is just over 5 feet tall. So it’s something you can get past.

While the walks are great, they may not be enough. Your average dog needs an hour of exercise every day, but some dogs may need even more. From what you wrote, I’d guess your dog falls into that category. This video on creative ways to exercise dogs can help you supplement your walks with some easy indoor exercise options.

I’d look for some ways to build in compliance before your dog gets what he wants in your day-to-day life. Petting with a purpose is a wonderful way to help your dog learn to respect you as a leader and help him practice asking for things instead of telling you what to do.

Do you enforce rules with your dog? Dogs often see those who enforce rules as the leader. Enforcing rules gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your leadership in small, subtle ways multiple times a day.

I’d suggest you also start developing a strong leave it command with your dog. Once established, you can pull out high-value items and leave them on the floor when you can supervise and give the dog the leave it command. The more you repeat this, the less the dog will try to take things you want them to leave alone.

Lastly, this video includes a really easy and sneaky way to condition your dog to come to you — even when you don’t call him to come over.

Remember, training and behavior are separate. While training is awesome, I’d suggest you work more on these structural changes and behavior exercises to help your dog learn that listening and respecting you cause good things to happen.

Good luck and remember — everything you do trains your dog. Only sometimes you mean it.

sugar tales: Big Bird

I’ll tell you about my relationship with “Big Bird”. We had a pretty good thing going until the Event Horizon came and decimated our relationship. BB wasn’t bad with ibe’s. I mean if I wanted to hook up she made it happen. She was just extremely horrible at texting and keeping the communication going. Things get a little grimey and there is lots of sex, so ***** warning ***** proceed with caution and if under 18 please stop here! Yea right.

Also, for those who have asked me how to get back with a guy after the event horizon, this story should help with that question as well.  

Sorry if the story isn’t as well written as the others. Kinda busy with the holidays and you guys got me under pressure to update my blog!

I met Big Bird through SD.com. I call her Big Bird because she was about 5’8, 5’9, with blonde hair. Flamboyant, glam chick with long legs. She was Creole or something like that.  Straight hair. Brown, creamy complexion, full lips, all the good stuff. She was from the hood too and was self-proclaimed ratchet ass chick. Your boy was digging her too.

However, messaging/texting was a problem right out the gate. First we sent messages back and forth through SD.com. Standard stuff. Then, we switched up to text. At the time I was seeing Poca, another SB, so Big Bird’s slack in texting put her at a disadvantage. If I wasn’t really into her, our fling would have never materialized. We had started texting and then all of a sudden she didn’t answer a text. A few days went by and I was like hmmm let me hit her up. See if she’s interested. She responded right away. I told her I thought she had lost interest and she said she never got my text. That was’t the problem though. The problem was, and I wouldn’t know this until later, was that she never initiated text. So even though she was interested, if I hadn’t texted her we wouldn’t have talked again. That was her rule. Period. If the a new day came,  she wasn’t going to text first.

So we keep talking over the days to come, complete  with her deciding she wanted to do a pay per meet type of thing. Then we finally meet. I’d like to say we went to a nice restaurant and laughed and talked and sipped wine. But that doesn’t always happen contrary to popular belief. Dinner and lunch, general first dates are just formalities. A lot of chicks are a little more direct about what they want. The key for Daddies is to listen to her and follow her lead. Some chicks want to go out and meet first. Others prefer to get right down to it. This is a crucial stage that a daddy can’t afford to fuck up. One wrong move and the wrong impression can be had.

Nonetheless, I had big hopes for our first date. Her pics were hot. I was digging the blonde hair too. Different for a change. It would have been cool to take her out. But she expressed she’d rather get started with our arrangement. Who was I to complain?  

I picked her up and took her to the motel. We get inside and she undressed and I was like whoa. That big body had me going. She was a tall chick, slim but I’m sure still a size 8 or 10. Nice and thick. I tried to kiss her and she told me she didn’t kiss. I didn’t like it but I went along with it. She laid down on the bed and I surprised her by going for some fellatio. With the first few strokes of my tongue she was twitching and I hadn’t even got started yet. I guess she didn’t get ate out often cause she was going crazy as I licked the pretty brown and pink muff.

The more I licked the more she shivered and convulsed. I made her put a pillow under her head so that we could look each other in the eye as I licked the kitty. Her pussy was so fresh I just went crazy licking it. She came quick the first time which shocked me. Either I was really good at what I was doing or she came easily. I asked for a return on the knowledge I invested. “I don’t give head,” she said. I was like WTF. “I don’t give head to guys I’m not in love with.”

No kissing. No head? Damn sugarbaby rules. If she wasn’t as fine as she was and the kitty wasn’t as good I might have passed. But, I was digging BB. I’ll stick around.

I strapped up and went in. Big Bird had some of the deepest, tightest kitty I’ve ever been in I think. She took all of the dick and then some. “Hit the bottom daddy,” she told me. And I damn sure tried to get as far up her uterus as possible. As we continued to fuck over the weeks to come, she would always "Hit the bottom daddy” would be a recurring theme.

20 minutes later she was ready for round 2. I was impressed. Most chicks would be jumping up, ready to go. But she was down for another round. I could overlook the no kiss no head policy. During those 20 minutes we got to talk tho. As she talked I kissed her all over while I made conversation. “Mmmm that feels good...” she said. She was from Louisiana somewhere. Had about 2 brothers and they were all raised by a single mom. She whipped out her phone and showed me some pics. They were all fair skinned with straight hair. Big Bird was a recent grad from college and now in law school. My allowances were going towards books and her part of the rent. She didn’t have a car and had no interest in getting one.

All that talking and kissing got me hard. We did missionary again for round 2. Them long legs were wrapped all around me. We switched to doggie and I pounded the kitty from the back. I slapped the ass a few times but didn’t get the rippling effect the way I usually like it. Her ass wasn’t as big as Ms. Butterworth. As it turned out she like the canine. She came and her legs started shaking and knees started buckling. She tried to stay up but she started to collapse under me. I was relentless tho. I kept on beating the kitty, following her to the bed as I tried to make her cum more than once. But that shit backfired. I ended up coming myself and surprisingly did some moan/yell type of stuff that made me sound like a little bitch. My own knees buckled and I collapsed on top of  her.

I rolled off all sweaty. BB started laughing at me. “That’s not funny I told her…” She laughed and said, “I knew you were bitch made.”

It was nice to cum together. Rare for me in the sugarbowl. We did some more talking and then got up and got dressed and I took her home.

Our relationship blossomed over the next several weeks. The sex got better too, though pretty much what you read above. “Hit the bottom daddy,” was being said at least 2 to 3 times a week. Per pay meets work a little better. As long as you spending sugar chicks is willing to hook up. Weekly and monthly allowance chicks tend to strictly stick to the agreement.  It wasn’t all about sex either. I took her to all the restaurants she liked. Took her shopping. Whatever she liked. It was beautiful. Except for one little thing. She never, ever, text me first.

It was ok at first because I was after her. So I’d happily texted. Even though I was seeing another SB, Big Bird had my interest for the moment. But as the newness of our relationship wore off, my text started getting further and further apart. I wasn’t done with her….just as time wore on, I wasn’t thinking about her as much. And Poca text me quite often so it was easy to keep up with her. On a few occasions a few days would go by with no text. So I’d hit her up and she’d answer right away.  Every time I’d get an immediate response. Once I was like, “Damn were you just sitting there waiting on me to text or what?” She never answered.

One day I asked her about it again, after sex while we lay in bed. She told me she saw how her bothers’ did girls and she never wanted that to happen to her. BB said she would be sitting there when a text came in and watched how her brothers laughed at the girl texting, talked about her like a dog, or just flat out ignored her. She never wanted that for herself. I’m like, “That’s some regular boyfriend shit. This is sugar relationship. The rules are a little different.”

“Nope,” she said. “I’m not doing it. You want to talk or hookup. You text me.”

And it went on like that for more weeks. One day I took her out of town with me on a business trip. We had lots of fun as I recall. We got to the hotel, and checked in. I flirted with the girl at the check-in desk,  slipped her a $50, then asked if she had any upgrades. Check-in check bumped me up to the penthouse suite, a big jump from the cheap ass room my company booked me for. We went up to the room and BB was like, “Your company rolling like this? What’s your job again?” She didn’t know I had tipped the chick downstairs. I didn't tell her either. Might as well let her think what she wants as much as possible. Instead I said, “Let’s go get some dinner.”

Dinner was good. BB and I had good chemistry and by this point we knew each other enough to laugh and talk about all our personal stuff, shows on TV, music, family, everything.  It really was no reason to keep up the games.

We got back to the room, showered and got down to the main course of the evening. I opened all the windows to let the cities night light in and got down to some serious fucking. While we were having sex though, the condom came off. I asked if I could leave it off. She said “Nope.” We literally had to fish that puppy out of that tight kitty. I put it over on the  night stand, put on another hat and got back to work. I was only good for one round at that point. I was full off wine and steak and so was she so we decided to call it a night. She wanted to hear some music but we couldn’t get the iphone to work with the hotel radio.

I called room service up and they sent some guy up to look at the radio. He turned on the light and started fidgeting with the radio. BB hit me on the arm and nodded towards the night stand. There, right by the radio was the condom. All slimey and looking used and full. So while I’m talking to the guy, I’m trying to grab the condom on the cool, but without being obvious. And you could tell the poor guy was having a hard time focusing on the radio with that magnum laying less than an inch from his fingers. Stuttering and shit. He couldn’t stop fidgeting and stuttering as he worked the controls. I looked back at BB and she’s under the covers now, head covered and all. I could hear her distinctive chuckle under the blanket as me and this guy worked on the radio. Finally he got it working and managed to keep his cool. He smiled and left.

As soon as he left she popped up. “Nigga. Put that shit in the trash! Oh my god I have never been so embarrassed in my life!” We laughed and talked about that for a good hour before falling asleep. It must have been after 1am.

I’m going into detail because I want to show how close we got and how much fun we had and yet despite our closeness she kept playing games with texting.

In the middle of the night, I woke because I was a little uncomfy. I sleep on  my side, so BB had come up behind me, wrapped her arms and legs around me as I slept. We were both naked and I could feel that young 25 year old flesh all meshed up against me. Mmmmm. Later I was awakened to her hot breath on my face. I was laying on my back then and she was cuddling me. My dick was as hard and I realized she had been stroking it.

“Wh – what are you doing?” I asked. Half sleep “Baby you hard…” We grabbed another condom from the night stand, put it on and I went back to work on the kitty. As soon as I came the phone rang. It was my wake up call. No rest for the weary. I wished I could have slept in but no.

I got up and got dressed. I called the valet for my car, dropped some cash on the night stand for baby girl to go shopping and headed out. Tired af.

When I got back that evening Big Bird was a little upset. I was surprised. I’d thought the night went well. “I couldn’t find shit at the mall…” she said pouting. I was like huh? She pulled out the money and some bras and panties she had managed to get.  “I just couldn’t find nothing”.

I’m like, “All that cash and you couldn’t find a purse or something.” “No” she said. She was distraught. I told her we’d go get something to eat and then circle back to the mall. So we went and had a nice dinner. More good times. Laughing and talking. We went back to the room but BB was still upset. Then a light bulb went off in her head.

“I can get that new Rihanna lipstick,” she said, grinning ear to ear. We packed up, grabbed the car and hit the freeways. OMG we must have hit every mall in the town looking for this dam lipstick. I’d be lying if I didn’t say we had a good time though. We definitely bonded. I was starting to look at her as more than a SB at this point. Someone I wanted around more. But I felt like I was the donkey chasing the carrot. Anyway, by 9pm we were almost in danger of not leaving town looking for this dam lipstick. We found a mall that had it. She ran in, copped the new color and was back in the car in 30 minutes.

After the trip nothing changed though. We’d had so much fun but BB was still playing the text game. As it happened, I was busy at work from being out of town so I didn’t get a chance to text her for a few days. Finally I hit her up. We got a room and after sex she was like, “I’m glad you came through. My tuition was due.” I was like, “why didn’t you just text? Like what if I didn’t text you at all?”

“Nah. I knew you were going text so I wasn’t worried,” she said. And, I told you I don’t text dudes,” she added. I shook my head and we went another round.

Our relationship blossomed still and we still were seeing each other at least 2 times a week. It wasn’t all sex either. We did other dates and on our last date I took her out for some sushi at a expensive place. She loved it. She was like a kid in the restaurant. She was taking pictures of the wine glasses and sushi plates and sending to her friends. Bragging. Kind of cute. We couldn’t even touch the dishes until she took pics.

I probably saw her a few more times after that date before the inevitable --event horizon. It was a combination of me getting over her kitty and also running into some new sugar chicks. That’s the game. :) Up until that point I hadn’t really been looking since I was messing with Poca too. But when the event horizon happened I was actively looking. I wasn’t a member of SA at this point to be clear. I don’t’ think I even knew it existed. I was using CL mostly. I had put up a few ads and had some good prospects.

Now, this is how the problem starts. Since she wasn’t texting me and I was talking to other girls it was very easy to lose track of her. I literally went from texting her every day to texting her once a week to not texting her at all. And just like that it was over.

I might have sent a random text over the 2 or 3 months that passed. She would reply back almost instantly, like she was waiting on me. We’d chat a bit but never made plans.

The New year had come and gone and by spring I was with two other SBs -- one was Queso and the other was Poca who I had been with all along. As bad as it sounds, both of these chicks were keeping Bart nice and wett.

Big Bird who? I think in all about 5 months went by before we hooked up again.

That would be about March. I finally get a text from BB. I had all but forgot about her at that point. The text went something like, “You fake” or something to that affect. When I replied she told me she was calling me out for disappearing on her and she said “I miss that knowledge you got…”, which translated meant “I miss you eating my pussy.” A few days later I drove to pick her up. She had moved to another place and was working a part time job.

As I drove to the new neighborhood the property value started dropping rapidly with each successive block. Cops were either parked or driving by. One slowed and looked in my car as I passed. I was in my nice car so I definitely didn’t belong. I was either a pimp, moving product or somebody high up on the thug totem pole if I was riding around in that neighborhood.  I thought the cop was going to turn around and follow me but he kept going. She was waiting out front of the apartment. This was bit of a downgrade from her last complex. After she hopped in the car we got to talking along the way. There was a motel up the street so she was cool with using it for our visit. While we drove she caught me up on the past few months and added how she was trying to get money together to pay for her own apt or something and wanted to save up money. BB had gained some weight and had been going to the doctor. I was a little concerned as we hit the room.

I thought she had been lying about wanting this knowledge. But nope. As soon as I went down she moaned “oh shit…..thats whats up”. I ate the kitty good too. I had a lot of months to make up for. I licked and thrashed the clit relentlessly. Then sucked it for maximum effect. She came like she had a seizure. But I didn’t stop. She tried to run from me but I wouldn’t let her. I just kept flogging the kitty ruthlessly causing her to squirt just a little as she tried to slide backwards across the bed while pushing my head away. I didn’t even know she squirted. I must have been in rare form that day. I had her on lock, and kept my head buried between them big thighs. I let up after she came twice and she quickly scrambled to the other side of the bed.

I was chuckling as I wiped cream from my face. She hit me in my shoulder and said, “Punk why you laughing.” I kept on laughing. Couldn’t’ stop. “Why do you do that? You know I had already came.”

“Hey,” I said still laughing. “That’s what you called me for.” I let her rest while I kissed her from head to toe.  “I miss that shit” she said. When she had rested enough I licked the kitty again, this time just to get it back wet before I slid on the hat and entered her.

Seemed the shop had been closed for a bit. That kitty was tight as hell. I inquired about it and she replied, “I ain’t been with anyone for a couple months…” After I got it in and got a pretty good rhythm going she was twitching and moving her hips. I can tell I was hurting her so I backed off a bit. She still came but it wasn’t the heaven and earth moving, cloud 9 experience of months past. I was a lil disappointed in myself for not being able to deliver a stellar performance but these things happen.

As we talked afterwards I realized I just didn’t have the passion like I did. Probably because I was messing with a couple of other chicks at the time. The event horizon had come and gone and now I was just hitting it because she asked me to, not necessarily because I wanted to. Besides, she had put on some weight and I could tell she hadn’t been taking care of herself like before. She said she had gone to the doc and he had said she was pregnant. BB had argued with the doc saying she wasn’t pregnant. So the doc told her it could be her thyroid or some shit throwing off her results. She’d gotten a STD test too so she was clean.  

I dropped her off with no intention of seeing her again. I figured she was probably pregnant which she was using me to stack some cash. Not the first time. Probably cash for the pregnancy or worse for the abortion. Either way I was out. In about 3 or 4 days she text me. Same opener, “You’re not serious” she started out with. I hit her back with, “Funny how you can text now.” She didn’t respond. A day went by and she text me again. We setup a meet and the next day I swung by on my lunch break. I went to the same hotel as last time, but she told me to keep driving.  “My cousin is dealing drugs out of there,” she said.

WTF?

We went to another spot but it was just a quickie. I wasn’t really feeling it. On the way back to her place, I asked her about the doc appt and she said she hadn’t gone yet. I told her how it was fucked up she let some dude hit it without the condom and not me. She was like, “Next time you don’t have to use a condom.” Whoa! I dropped her off and left.

She text me again. I asked about the test and she said she wasn’t pregnant. I new she was was tho. I could hear it in her voice. The weight gain and the doc said she was? Thin chance it was her thyroid acting up. But that wasn’t the deal breaker for me. I’ve ran into all kinds of chicks in the sugar bowl. All the fun we had. All the chemistry we had and she kept playing little silly games right up until the event horizon. Sure I hooked up again with her, but I wasn’t into her like I had been. I thought i’d rekindle the flame but it just wasn’t there n now. And with the circumstances surrounding our last two dates...I just wasn’t feeling it anymore.

Think You’re Ready for a Puppy? Your New Puppy Checklist

I’ll never forget the day I met my Miniature Poodle, Jäger. It was truly love at first sight! Here was my little baby. Squeee! I didn’t get Jäger on a whim, though. That moment we met was the culmination of months of research and soul searching as my husband and I sought to bring home the “perfect” puppy. He’s 9 now, and he really is perfect for our family and just the most wonderful dog.

Even if you’ve gotten a puppy before, you may need a refresher on where to start, so here’s a new puppy checklist and some advice from the experts. You’ll have your dog for 10 to 15 years (or more!), so don’t rush. Take your time now to make a good choice, and it will pay off with a lifetime of love and happiness.

Who’s responsible for the puppy?

This first item on any new puppy checklist — who will care for your puppy and how? This is a good time to talk about who will be responsible for the care of the puppy and to come up with a plan to meet your pup’s needs, especially if everyone works full time.

“Do you work from home, or will someone be home to care for the puppy and let her or him out to go potty?” asks Diane Wilkerson, adoption center director for PAWS Chicago. “If not, can you stop home during your lunch break or hire a dog walker?”

You can also use doggie day care services or even ask about dogs in the workplace. It never hurts to ask!

What kind of puppy is the best fit?

Before creating a new puppy checklist, think about what type of dog will fit best into your family. Do you live in an apartment? You probably want a smaller or less-active dog. Avid joggers need a larger, high-energy dog for a running companion.

My husband is allergic to dogs, so we knew right off the bat that we would need to bring home a hypoallergenic breed. The flip side of the coin was we had to budget for regular grooming. (I actually learned to groom Jäger myself, which saves us a lot of money!)

Don’t be fooled by anyone who says a nonshedding dog won’t need professional grooming. All dogs with hypoallergenic coats need at least some grooming, and many need a lot of grooming, which can be expensive.

“Research dog breeds (and mixed breeds) to learn some of their characteristics, personality traits and energy levels to find some that are similar to yours,” Diane says. “It’s impossible to guarantee that your puppy will always possess all the characteristics and energy levels you might be looking for, so also keep an open mind about adopting an adult or senior dog.”

How to choose

When looking at several puppies, think about your new puppy checklist. Perhaps you are looking for a small- to medium-sized, nonshedding puppy who will get along with kids and does not need too much exercise.

Go with your gut, but also ask for help from the breeder, a dog breed organization or shelter staff. “Shelter animals come in all shapes, sizes and energy levels, and will have volunteer adoption counselors available to help match you with the right puppy for your lifestyle and experience level,” Diane says.

Future adult size is fairly predictable in purebreds, but it can be a little tricky to pinpoint when looking at mixed-breed puppies. And no, the size of the paws doesn’t always indicate how big or small a puppy will grow up to be. Use common sense. If you want a small dog, don’t adopt a Lab or Pit Bull mix. When in doubt, ask for help.

As for temperament, think about what life is like in your family. “A quieter pup may not be a good candidate for a family with multiple children, but that busybody puppy may thrive and excel, and become the darling of the soccer team,” says Teresa Murphy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeder in Glen Ellen, California.

A word of advice: Don’t let looks be your main factor when choosing a puppy. “It is human nature to be attracted to what is easy on the eyes,” Teresa says. “Window dressing is just that. Character and soundness of a puppy should be the first priority.”

Create a new puppy checklist

In an ideal world, what is your perfect puppy? It helps to actually make a new puppy checklist. Note if something is non-negotiable, such as “must be friendly with kids” or “cannot weigh more than 40 pounds.” Consider these important points, and make your new puppy checklist:

Energy level:  high  in-between

Size:  small  medium  large

Grooming needs:  none  some  as much as needed

Shedding:  none  low shedding  I can deal with anything

Barking:  quiet  moderate  high alert

Kid-friendly pup:  loves kids  indifferent to kids  it doesn’t matter (we don’t have kids)
