At 930am I had to get going anyway, and tada - Kim - marched in then over to the small park. I saw her coming into the small park, and said to Michelle well I'd better get going to my appointment..... got Jax leashed and started walking. Kim barreled up towards us saying what are you doing over here (to Michelle) you should bring Gracie over to the the other park.... and walked right past me without even a hello. She grabbed Gracie, said hi to her, put her down. Gracie ran after Jax and me. We were at the gate, and Michelle said it was ok to let her into the square. (square is where you can choose which gate to go thru) Kim came out opened the big park gate as I was getting ready to open the outside gate. Thought I'd better wait in case any ran out. The big dogs lunged at Gracie to sniff. As I left I did here her yelp, and Kim saying play nice with her..........
I can see next time - we sorta planned for Monday at 830am - that Michelle will be or at least start going into the big park with Gracie. (she's only 13 pounds) Funny thing is Michelle is nervous about Jake as that dog is a bit of a questionable with little dogs. And there are a few that even she says are prey driven. Michelle said her hubby didn't want Gracie over there either. I can see that Kim will override Michelle and have Gracie with the big dogs....therefore have Michelle with her and not able to talk with me. Thing is - that's Michelle's issue - if she can't tell Kim to back off, and continues to side/do as Kim wants..... I'm not getting involved. I really, seriously, don't want to fight over a friend. Screw it, Kim can have her. And if Michelle and I happened to get together, fine. But I'm also not going to go out of my way for this. Or give in and chance Jax getting hurt.
Yes, it pisses me off. Yes it pisses me off that Michelle follows Kim. Yes it pisses me off that I want Michelle to be a friend with me - but I know I can't control her or her choices. I can only control mine, and yes, it pisses me off that I still would like to be friends with Michelle. And yes, it pisses me off that I know this whole issue is ridiculous. It also saddens me that I back off (tho it's best for me). But by backing off, when I do happen to see or talk with Michelle, I hold back and don't talk too much - I don't want to say anything that will A) get back to Kim or B) be too intense and C) I don't know what to say..... it's never been an ability to just pick up a friendship talk like nothing happened. I'm too aware of issues. And that pisses me off because I'm allowing all this to control how I talk with Michelle..... and gives control again to Kim....which, yup, pisses me off! ha ha ha.
Last week one of the big dogs ended up with stitches. Few weeks before there was a bit of a tussle. Most dogs are ok, I know that. And yes Jax can play with them, but he doesn't like to - I've seen it. He likes the little ones. The way he wrestled with Gracie - it's not because he's afraid etc.
Most funniest thing was Jax wears his halter in the park. Never thought much about it. Gracie found it and would bite then hang on to it and try to drag him around. Michelle said she likes to carry the leashes and pull the dogs. (Michelle has 2 others - 1 havi and 1 Wheaton).
Jax would then get to humping Gracie. At one point he had his butt at her face, told him to watch out that she didn't bite it off! She's still getting her adult teeth and is biting everything Michelle said.

I tried making some thank you cards for the family. Will post them on Krystal's Colours on Sunday. They didn't turn out that great I thought.
This weekend it's suppose to rain. Suppose to start this evening... it's looking cloudier out there. I do hope we get rain. I'm thinking I'd better make dinner soon, before the rains come as a few drops and bang - the electricity goes out here. Seriously, we've had more outages in the last year in this place then all the years we lived in the Cove.
AJ's wrinkly elephant butt one cheek is purple and yellow and green..... that fall he had this week finally showed it's colours. Yeah, you just needed to know that, right!
