Howlloooo Everyone,

This is a little hard to type out, but I will do my best. Some of you might have read my last journal where I was going to be kicked out a year ago last August 2012. Well it didn’t happen so a couple of friends and I started to look into finding a place to buy. Early this year in March 1 of my 2, friends passed away which hurt in more ways than you all will know. My other friend, now ex-mate, has been giving him a hard time and spent no time with him since late 2010 except for when the ex-mate demanded sex. It seems that is all he cared about in the relationship. The ex-mates sister who owns the house would dump the past due bills on my friend to pay to keep the power, gas and or water running. Her money only went to her own few personal bills as well as cigarettes and pot. All 3 are on disability. My friend gets the least of the 3 and his Ex gets over $1000 US a month. By the time bills were paid, my friend had very little money left. Were the other 2 spent a good amount of their money on Cigarettes and pot each month. From Sept 2010 to Aug 2013, I had overheard my friends Ex say get out of the house to him over a dozen times. Aug 2013 was the last straw the 2 were planning to kick me out and not say a thing to me but I found out from my friend. The weekend of Aug. 24th and 25th, my friends Ex again told him (in his word) “Get the FUCK out of my house!”

Aug. 30th my friend and I were working on packing things up and moving everything we could into a storage space when his Ex got all pissed off that he was leaving and not just I. The friend next door helped us haul what we could to storage as well as what we were going to need to live where ever we could while out on the streets. One of the hardest things was to pack up the Boys (11.5 year old Great Dane named Monster (born deaf) and 2 3 year old Rottweiler brothers from the same litter Rocky and Sentry)

From Aug. 30th to around Nov. 12th, we moved from camp area to camp area. This wasn’t an easy thing to do since the first one we went to closed for the season on Sept. 15th. Our friend that helped us take our stuff out there came out and helped us haul our stuff out, but we couldn’t find a place to set up our tent. That night my friend, the Boys and I spent the night in the GMC Jimmy in a closed down mall parking lot. The next day our friend took us up to where he use to go fishing and we stayed in that area in our tent. Since they had a 14 day limit, we had to move the tent a few campsites away from where we were and couldn’t return to a site for 30 days. Above the dam, we had high winds and no tree cover. Below the dam, we had lower winds and tree cover, but the snow was starting to come in about once a week. The first 2 snow falls we dealt with pretty good, but the one that hit Nov. 9th thru the 11th dropped at least 6 inches of snow and had temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The night of the 11th, I made another hard choice in my life. I cried for several hours. When my friend asked what was wrong I told him when it is day lite he was to go to the top of the hill and call our friend to help us pack up and we are going to take him up on his offer to stay in his basement apartment. My friend asked me what we were going to do with the Boys. I told him that is why I have been crying. The only thing that could be done was to drop them off at the Animal Shelter and give them up. Our friend has no yard so we couldn’t keep them at his place. We took them down and before handing the Boys over we had one of the people there take a few pictures of the 5 of us.

The hardest thing is I’m pretty sure Monster was put to sleep do to his age and his hips starting to go on him. I hope Rocky and Sentry do find a home. The only thing not working in their favor here is the Air Force Base will not allow anyone on base to have Rotties.

About the only good out of this was from the 4th to the 6th of December the temperatures here dropped to -40 during the day and I don’t think any of us would have been able to live through that since we had no means of heat.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
