I'm back

After suffering through a series of personal setbacks I am now able resume my blogging duties. Please don't judge me or my priorities.
The first tragedy was a breakdown of my mobile device. I catch a lot of flack about how much I enjoy using it, but I don't care, having a powerful machine like that makes my life better. It allows me to stay connected, but more than that it gives me an outlet where I can express myself in a way I never knew I could. Through a remarkable series of events I was able to procure a pocket computer I had been lusting after. Then less than 2 weeks after I got it, it broke. I was at a loss. I felt as if my voice had been taken. No more email, no more blog, no more mp3. It was very sad. I will be able to get it replaced, but not for another couple of weeks.
That was pretty hard for me to handle, but then I got a pach from hashem somethimg really tragic happened. Something I will have trouble dealing with for the rest of my life. A loss that was staggering in its emotional devastation. A close friend and family member was taken to the upper room. My dog died. Words cannot express neither my grief nor affection for the dog that was barely a dog. He was closer to a bunny cat dog hybrid than an actual canine. What kind of dog dances for lettuce? That is one of the reasons I loved him so much. He refused to adhere to traditional dog roles. Sabastian did what made him feel good, he didnt like chew toys or rawhide, he just liked the people he liked and that was that.
Sabastian and I had a rocky start. For the first couple of years our relationship was frosty at best. The little guy had picked up a distrust of men, and he thoughtfully considered me manly, though some people are less sure about that (i'm looking in michelle's direction). After about 3 years he came around and we bonded. The kind of bond that can only exist between a boy and his dog. I will miss him forever. Though he deserves better testament to his life I feel myself incapable of giving him the tribute fitting for a beast who had such positive impact on all those who loved.

We will all miss Sebastian... And as weird as that little hair eating, excessive licking, "please don't watch me while I'm pooping" little guy was, home will never been the same without him.
