I AM SORRY TO SPAM. I have just witnessed the saddest thing ever.

[stoney321]

Horrible storm rolling through, nickel sized hail. Cut to my Sally Dog, who is terr-i-fied of storms. Like, you can hear her teeth grinding from another room. *sad faces* She has a "baby" (a squeaky duck) that she "rescues" when a storm comes. (She grabs it and hightails it to my shower for Safety) She has two babies now, a squeaky guinea pig is the newest plush addition to her fake family.

I just witnessed my dog make a Sophie's Choice. "Which one? The duck i've bonded with for two years, or the newest child? Can I have another? Am I going to die? *cue the orchestra* She was in my shower whining. I brought her other baby to her, the guinea pig, she TUCKED THEM UNDER HER, and lay down, shivering.

Are you kidding me with the sorrow and motherly protection?!?! Oh, Sally Derg. They aren't really your children. (Also, it is still hailing, so she won't come out for snorgles or anything.) *SAD FACE TIMES A JILLION*

[ETA] NOW WITH PICTORIAL.


The abandoned child. Who, but a mother, can understand the difficult choice in choosing who will live, and who will lay on the carpet in the living room?



Brothers from another mother - back home where they belong. Next to the shower and my husband's dirty socks.


She's been in the bathroom with them for two hours, now. PATHETIC! (Also: d'aww.)

Oh, Sally. That really is heartbreaking. Poor puppy!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(I broke the rules and let her come up on the bed with me with her childrens. *g* Poor little sad pup...)

[crevette.livejournal.com]

I just laughed out loud at your dog's misery. The "Sophie's Choice" got me.

I'm so sorry.

I am so going to Hell.

I think I want to MQ this too.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

hahaha, Oh, I was totally laughing and "aww, puppy!" at her the whole time. It's RIDICULOUS. (Go right ahead, if you want.)

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwww! That is WOE x A MILLION. Poor doggie!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

My woe cat icon cannot express the level of WOE. She's just a big ol' pathetic bag of lovings.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sally Derg, how she breaks my heart with her babies. :((((

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!! Lee, GRINDING her teeth. Like, someone crunching walnut shells. WAAAAAH, DOG.

[dovil.livejournal.com]

Jesus, that poor guinea pig, now certain to go through life knowing that it's second best.

I hope you got a rolled up newspaper and gave Sally a good beating for being such a terrible mother. I mean holy crap, that guinea pig was just a newborn, how the hell was it expected to stay alive on it's own? Shittest mother ever!

I'M CALLING CHILD SERVICES!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

See, I'm seeing the "glass half full," here. Now, the guinea pig is PRIMED for me to lure her away from the safety of her mother. Pills, drugs, pimping her out... She'll be my best earner, you watch.

(But yeah, she FAILS as a mother. I keep telling her, too.)

[lolz.livejournal.com]

That has got to be the cutest thing I have ever heard!
Poor pup!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(It really is. Part of me is sad, and the other part of me laughs at it.)

[madam-rptr.livejournal.com]

Love love love it when doggies and kitties do those (good) things that we associate with humans…particularly when they take care of babies of other species or befriend those that should be their natural born enemies and such.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(Her BFF is our Siamese cat. They go to bed together, and Hope - our cat - likes to be groomed by our Sally. D'aww.)

[stephanierb.livejournal.com]

Oh that really is sad. Your poor dog, she must've been beside herself with despair. What a horrible choice for her.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

She whimpered and thumped her tail when I brought Miss Guinea Pig to her, and she tucked her right under her like a mother hen.

:(((((

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor Sally. People who think dogs don't feel things deeply are just kidding themselves.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AGREED. I've known an animal that *didn't* feel anything for other animals/family. <3

[thebratqueen.livejournal.com]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(zomg, she totes got an extra treat and lovings for being the most pathetic 80 pound creature on earf.)

[drusplace.livejournal.com]

Oh Sweet Sally! I'm such a suck, this nearly brought tears to my eyes.

See, my dog just would have stood there and barked. And barked. And barked. And barked. Are we seeing a theme here?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, she only does that when the children don't go to bed like I've told them. (She's totally Nana from Peter Pan.)

[ely-jan.livejournal.com]

ohmygoddyingfromthis

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I.
KNOW.

Waaaaaaaah. (and the tiniest of hees)

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Poor thing! ;( My dog would've tried to get both of them in her mouth at the same time.

Right now, none of my dogs have a noise phobia, but one of my others did. Melatonin was amazingly helpful for her. You can google for a little more info. There's also a product from Ark Naturals called Happy Traveler that helps some animals. I've used both and had better luck with melatonin

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Also, though. So adorable, you know?

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Ooohh, Sally! This hurts my mama heart. I've seen my cat hoarde my daughter's My Little Ponies, but that's really more of a "behold my spoils--MINE!" sort of thing that an altruistic, baby-saving thing.

Poor ol' honey!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha!! But let's be honest: that cat is plotting world domination, starting with the sparkly horses. :D

(The storm's gone, so she's checking on the kids every few minutes, now. Gotta love those shepherds...)

[lynnenne]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Poor puppy! My dog is scared of storms, too. She crawls up in my laps and shivers until an hour after it's over.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Isn't she pathetic?!?! She has been getting lots of attention, now that the kids are home. The girls let Sally know they found her to be most brave. :)

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Sally is the sweetest dog! I'm so glad you brought her her other "baby." She needs some extra loving and many, many pets to make up for this horrible storm.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

She snuffled all over the guinea pig, too, checking her out to make sure she was all intact. Hahahaha. Such a goofy dog. <3

Meanwhile, Darthanne and Hope are all *streeeeeetch, yawn, turns over, snore*

[annoyedwabbit.livejournal.com]

(here from Metagquotes)

Your story is ADORABLE! Poor little scared doggie.

and my goodness! You have a Malinois! At least, she looks like a Malinois. She's a pretty girl! (Sorry for the totally random spazzing- my boyfriend and his dad are both nuts about Malinois, and it's kinda rubbed off on me. :D Plus, I hardly ever see them around, so I get excited.)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

She is just a bundle of nerves and love, our Sally. And you know, we think she's a Malinois, but since we rescued her, and her background is dubious, we've settled on a German Shepherd mix, mostly because we don't know much about the other breed.

But I like the idea of her actually being a royal dog of import, forced to live the life of a peasant because of some upheaval. :D

[deborahc.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can get Sally one of those little pet beds (the round kind with raised sides). Then she could put her both babies together on the bed, lift the bed by the raised side, and carry both her children away to safety. No more heart wrenching Sophie's Choice (although I don't understand why once she'd delivered baby-duck to the safety of the shower she couldn't go back for baby guinea-pig. Maybe once she got got to her Safe Place she couldn't bear to go back out into Danger.

Loved the story and pictorial illustration.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You know, we tried that - great minds think alike! She absolutely refuses to use beds. There was another huge clap of thunder when she grabbed the duck (after failing to get both in her mouth) so she hightailed it to my bathroom, whining the whole way. :(

I need to put velcro on them so she can mash them together and then carry one, bringing the other along.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

AWWWWW!!!!!! That is the saddest sight ever! Poor cute puppy :(

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Isn't she the saddest thing in Sadville? She's the Mayor of Woe, I'm telling you!!

[showmewrtr.livejournal.com]

Awww..... adorable. Sad face.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to curl up with your kitty icon, if you don't mind. S/he looks quite a lot like my Hope cat (and Sally's BFF)

[soundingsea.livejournal.com]

Aw, puppy! So protective and sweet. :)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

She really is - she always herds the kids, too, or any other kids that come visit. (I mean, you don't know. There could be wolves out there.) :D

[semby.livejournal.com]

Awwww! That's just the sweetest, cutest, saddest thing ever.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*scritches her under the ear* She kept checking on them all night. (They're still by the shower.) :)

[flawed-karma.livejournal.com]

Here via MQ

My Faith dog (9 yo rottie mix, rescued from abusive homes) is horrified at thunder. She has three huge grumpie groundhogs.

Every storm, we find Faith in the tub with her 3 babies. They all get licked, grumped, squeaked, licked and used as a pillow. After the storm, they are all carried to safety.

She won't leave the house without a Grumpers, including trips to the vet's office. This causes much hilarity, as she is a 98 lb hug thing carrying a toy everywhere.

Poor Sally.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AWWWWwwwwwWWWWWW! (Sally is a rescue from an abusive home, too.) Which, rescued dogs are the BEST. <3 <3

Okay, your story is ADORABLE. I would totes curl up with that Faith and sneak her treats when no one was looking.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

OH SALLY!

*snuggles her so much and sekkritly feeds her a Greenie and pets her omg*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If Sally was an orange kitty, and her duck/guinea pig were green fish, she would resemble your icon PERFECTLY.

(And she would be your best friend for life if you gave her a greenie. That's her most fave EVAH.)

[solipsiae.livejournal.com]

I love that Sally derg!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Angie, is that not PATHETIC? And a million times adorable?? <3 <3
