I like not living at home, it somehow makes everything easier to deal with.

I've finished the new Harry Potter. I still don't know quite what to make of it.. the use of the word "Slut" in it was offputting...as well as the ending... but I enjoyed it nontheless. .. Harry was at least decidedly less whiney..

In other far sadder news, I did not get to take my darling Patty home. Her loser of an owners flatmate came and picked her up the day before she could be rehomed. I was so angry as I stood there and he said things like "She always gets out", "Oh, we have to brush her?" ( she came in with matted overgrown fur which had to be clipped off her) and "She doesn't really like me" .. I mean this puppy loved EVERYONE so I want to know what he did to her that made her fear him...

Urgh...and he revealed that they're planning to use her to breed up puppies for sale. Financially its great cos those puppies are worth about $1500 each but for the dog its terrible. They get overbred and go into ketosis and essentially waste away. We had a German Shepherd who came in so skinny and sick because she had been used as a breeder for pet shops. She got put down a few days later due to internal bleeding.

So angry and so sad now.. I really wanted that puppy.. she was beautiful and she liked me.. I've been crying pretty much every night since she went.. I'd have been ok with not having her if I knew she was going back to an owner who cared about her...

But there's nothing I can do about it.. so I'll just have to deal with the crying jags and hope she gets brought into the shelter again.

Apart from working at the shelter I haven't done much.. the government should be sending me money soon which will be very welcome. My account is very low and there are these bill things which keep turning up...Its surprising how much money you actually use when you're not living with your parents.

Anyway that'll do for tonight. Tell me of your lives! I have limited net access I need updates!
