What made you sad today...
 

Just starting this thread becouse I"m sad today..maybe someone else is too.

here's why I"m sad today...
 

A few weeks ago, my son brought home a puppy that he said was following him around the neighborhood. She was adorable..the cutest thing I've ever seen. It was clear that she was someone's pet, she was clean and smelled good, and had on a flea collar. So I said, let's ask around to the neighbors and see if anyone recognizes her. One neighbor said they knew the girl who owned her, and they took her in for a few days so they could look for the girl..and said if they couldnt find her, they would keep her. (which I was glad about) A few days later, they came over and said they couldnt keep her, or find the girl who owned her. I said, can you keep her a few days, and then I will take her? (I had a very busy work week, and was going to get her that friday) I went to get her on Wednesday, becouse I was anxious..(I was already in love with her and wanted her soooo much) The pup wasnt there. They said when they were walking her, she ran away. !!!!! I was sooo upset, I drove around in my pj's looking for her..calling her. I never found her. Since then, I've been so sad about losing her,that I decided to look at the ASPCA website for a dog/puppy.
Well what do you know!!! There she WAS~! I know it's her from the pic..and also her intake date is right for when she "ran away" from the neighbor.

I would rush right down there and get her...except it's 150 dollars to adopt..and I would have to pay the 300 dollar pet fee to the apartment office before adoption..(the aspca checks first before allowing the adoption)

I just dont have the money right now..and I"m incredibly sad..It will be a few months before I have the expendable finances..but I"m sure she wont be there by then.

I really wanted her....the kids even named her already..Baby.

This is my sadness today..thanks for listening.

Her name on this page is Lula

What made me sad today
 

Finding a dead animal in the street. I wanted to bury the animal, but the ground is frozen. I said a few prayers, and I moved the animal so no other vehicles could hit it. It was someone's beloved pet. I called the appropriate folks to come.

You know...
 

... thanks for this thread. I normally don't like to post "downer" things...

However, this past week on a musical thread someone reminded me that on the 8th of the month was the anniversary death/shooting of John Lennon. I felt very sad that night, and lit a candle.

But, I felt extra sad, and thought of this one buddy of mine from my hometown down the road (an older bro of a girl I graduated with from high school). And I thought of his wife, that I don't know real well, but spoke to her on occasion. She was originally from England.

Here no matter what our age, we all hang out together and are close in discussing nearly anything! It's a very small town. (Of course I am out with this man, and he is very cool with this - as his sister/friend of mine whom I grew up playing sports with is gay!)

Anyway, I just found out late yesterday - that this friend's wife had died... in town here on the 8th. I couldn't believe it. She was 55 years old. They had one teenage boy and the father and son came home to find her deceased.

I am just so stunned and sad about this.

To make it more complex... in high school, this friend and his sister/my classmate's Mother came to ALL of our sports events and we JUST LOVED HER... died at the age of 57 - and these kids NEVER bounced back from that loss - it was very painful.

Now, this is like history repeating itself for my buddy and his sister (and the rest of the siblings). I feel just HORRIBLE for them and this young teenage son.

It really makes you wonder why these things happen.

Love to all,

WILDCAT

Someone that I was beginning to like and trust was dishonest to me today.

Not being able to kiss my love or wrap my arms around her tightly for a week makes me sad....

Two of my three kids won't be home for Christmas this year.

I keep telling myself it's 'okay' but I realized today that it's not 'okay' at all.

hindrance :hanging:

the anniversary of my nieces passing on the 27th

sad...
 

driving home from working a 16 hour shift this morning, and seeing a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk holding a candle to keep warm and what a sad world to live in that you just cant trust anyone to take them home with you and help them.

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins split up. After 23 years. that sucks.

Sad
 

When I was feeding the homeless and poor yesterday, I was really surprised at the number of people coming out for a free hot meal. We were not able to give 2nd's, but the number of people just was overwhelming, including children. To live in America and witness this...it really is sad.

The latest airline terrorist failed attempts
 

I am not understanding how folks are getting thru the security systems in place, and boarding planes entering the US. Tonight I heard we are up to 2 planes so far. Thank God their plans failed.

I am sad that I am still sick. Five days now. Had no fun for my wife's birthday. I feel bad, sad, about that. Her birthday is so close to Christmas, I wanted to decorate the house in birthday stuff, but my faculties failed me this time.

We're still sick. We feel better, but we could feel EVEN better.

Being at work after a long weekend. I really need another day off (or three).

*sniffle*
(no, not tears, my nose is freakin' running.)

The Blizzard of 2010
 

We are in a blizzard situation here. The State is in a State of Emergency. What makes me sad are the homeless people, & those who are sick and need medicine/medical care and cannot get out. Everyone is stuck inside. It is a mess outside. Some are without electric power.

The snow totals are beating records. It keeps changing hourly. We have downed powerlines, roofs are collapsing from the wet snow (weight). Plus the number of heart attacks is on the rise.
