so, i think one of these days i’m just going to go get my tattoo.

i’m still nervous about where i want it and how i want it.

it’ll be riley’s pawprint, but i think i want it on my wrist, but i’ll get fired from petsmart. :(

not that i’m going to let some corporation make life decisions for me, but i might be out of a job, so that’s an issue.

but i may do it anyway…

either that or on my foot, but i want it closer to me than that. that sounds weird…but…i don’t know.

my left wrist is my favorite idea so far.

and i also don’t know if i want it fully black. i kinda want it to look real, with wear and tear just like his paws, but i don’t have a great picture…

i’ve got lots of thinking to do, but i’m so eager to get it!

Just added this to my zoo page: RILEY the Golden Retreiver. (Riley Blue Whiting) Riley wasn’t up in my tumblr zoo because technically he’s my family dog (even though he was bought for me) and lived with my parents when I moved, but since his recent passing (December 2nd, 2011), I felt it necessary to address how important to me he was/is/will always be. People often say their dog is the greatest. I can sit here and write this long spiel about how my dog is better than yours and blah, blah, but with him, it isn’t even a contest. Because he wasn’t a dog. He was a soul, a perfect, wonderful being that spread nothing but joy to every life he touched. Never once was he a burden to anyone, and he was the smartest, most loyal, loving, and kind animal I have ever had the presence to live beside. Riley was one of my best friends in this entire world, and I’ll mourn him every day. We lost Riley suddenly, with no warning, to hemangiosarcoma. My parents spent $10,000 trying to give him up to six months more to live, and we ended up putting him down two days after his surgery. But losing him has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through in my short life. And I’ve lost plenty of family members and friends and animals, but the heartbreak that I feel now is incomprehensible. I love this dog so much. While I was laying with him before he was going to be euthanized, I told him that I would gladly take his place. That I wish I could. Because I’ve already fucked up so much in my life, and the idea of living without him was so awful, and he was so young and so good and it wasn’t fair. But I couldn’t. I honestly wanted to take the cancer for him. I would have so much rather it been me. My parents probably would’ve been less upset if it was. Things go the way they go, though, and so I have to live without him. I’m designing my tattoo for him, which I had wanted to get before I lost him. He was only six, I thought I had plenty of time. But Riley, if you can see me, know that living without you is really hard. And I hope you follow right behind me, like you used to, until the day I die. And I hope it’s your face I see when I’m old and grey and I finally leave this earth. It’s you I’ll be looking for, even then. I love you, buddy.
