penginchan: Now Daddys hand is all wrapped up, and blood is still coming out. DX
penginchan: I neecd to go clean up the blood now, here's Mommy!

I instant message my family. I don't call home.

We're going to have to do something with the dog, obviously, but it's hard while Peanut's owner is still serving her DUI sentence in Camp Verde. All disasters aside, my family's still pretty cheery. As of last night my father is now the owner of his own martial arts studio, and my kid brother and sister are his eager minions in running it.

Nah, she could easily die. It happens a lot to people who literally have no place to live, though she could probably get one if she'd get rid of the fucking dog.

Totally! I mean, c'mon.

That's what I meant, yeah. I guess it would depend on whether or not she'd compromise about the dog. He could make it a requirement that she find somewhere else to keep the dog while she lives there?

SHE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A MOTORCYCLE FROM SCRATCH OR SOMETHING

She can't. If she could, my mother would've forced the issue already, she really hates the fucking dog. Though if she didn't have the dog—and the cat, and the birds—there's no reason she'd have to stay with us, since there are other options for a single, unemployed woman.

I HEAR THAT'S A DIFFICULT THING TO DO

...THAT IS REALLY ANNOYING.

Which is why it would have been epic.

If I were here I would've taken the dog to a shelter by now.

She could also have been destroying something in an epic manner! That'd be more like her. And it's sort of what she did, I guess...

I can understand not wanting to give up your animals, but not to the extent of becoming a parasite. If you get an animal, you make damn sure you can take care of that animal without this sort of thing happening...

SHE WAS ONLY DESTROYING HER SKIN, THOUGH.

Well, that's the whole you can't foresee everything that can happen thing that they're always wanking about on sf_drama. And the dog will almost certainly be put down if she gives it up, everyone except my mom knows that.

AND THE PLASTIC SHE ATTACHED HERSELF TO

No. You can't. But you can respond to situations when they do happen. And there are no-kill shelters, though I don't know how accessible one would be in your area. There are organizations that deal with problem dogs precisely because they don't want them getting put down. It might be a lot of effort, but if she can't support the dog it sounds like it would be worth it.
