Day 24: It’s My Party So I’ll Cry if I Want To

Oct 13, 2010

I will admit that since I got married, I’ve become somewhat of a crybaby. I never used to be that way but even the smallest things can make me tear up– especially during that time of the month. Kristen is constantly amused about how easily things can make me cry– specifically TV shows or movies when I have become really invested. I’ve just come to accept the fact that I probably relate more than I should to the things I see on TV or in the movies. I think it’s endearing.

In any event, something that will always make me cry, not matter what is seeing an animal suffering. There are certain shows or things that Robby will not let me see because he knows it will upset me. Pit Bulls & Parolees is just one of the shows that makes me cry. I just cannot believe how cruel people can be and it breaks my heart. Even worse I HATE feeling like I can’t do anything about it. It’s the overall helplessness that makes it that much worse.

We ended up with Trouble because I was just perusing Craigslist trying to cheer myself up and came across his listing. I knew automatically given his issues that if he was sent to the shelter he would eventually be put down so I e-mailed Robby asking if we could foster him. I was actually pretty surprised that he agreed and despite the fact there are several other critters that need a home, which I would so give them if I could, I was glad to be able to do at least something.

Trouble is now a member of our family and he’s managed to live up to his name– but even with the bad times, I love him to pieces and could not imagine not having him. He is my Trub Trub and always will be.
