I can't sleep.

teddogI woke up at 4am for work and found that my mother had already left. When she got back she told me that she didn't bother waking me up because I was feeling sick yesterday. I'm still trying to get back onto a normal diet and my system is not happy from being shocked with drugs, pain and then a sudden rush to return to whatever passes as normal for me these days. In turn, my body doesn't always act the way I want and yesterday it was being stupid. Today it was better, but no one bothered to ask.
It does bother be when I am well enough to work and I get told that I'm not needed. Crap, my self-worth is next to nothing already. We don't need to make it any worse.
Rant of moment:
WTF is with people treating toy breeds as... toys? When my sisters and I were running around Yorkdale, this woman was walking into Holt Renfrew (*gag*) with a chihuahua in her arms. Yeah lady, I really think that your dog is enjoying a day out shopping. I think he'd be happier running around a park and pissing on trees. He's probably happy to get out of the house. The latest overpriced fashions mean nothing to a dog. Heck, dogs wear the same fur coat even if it goes out of style.
Just because it's a toy breed doesn't make it a thing to drag around with you. There are some toy breeds that are more fragile than other breeds, but a quite a few can stand their ground. They didn't all start small - most breeds have had their size bred of of them, although often they don't realize it.
Sure, you can baby a dog, but it's still a dog. It's going to have those natural urges that make it a dog and not, say, a cat. Treating a dog as a toy or even a small child just hurts the two of you.
Look, my toy mixed breed was partly feral when my late grandmother got him. He lived in a field out east and appeared at my relatives house every once and a while. Our relationship works in part because I give the dog space. I don't drag him freakin' everywhere with me.
Yeah... so... if I see another person toting a dog around a mall, I'm going to become violent.
