Cats, n' Dogs + Life, also internet.

Hey folks. 

As ya'll can probably tell, by this journal's mere existence, my internet has spluttered back to life, according to our service provider there was a slight 'hiccup' on the line, yeah, that's the technical term apparently, but eh, it's working now, so hey, I have messages, a... A lot of them...  

Okay, I'm really sorry, I will reply to them all, but not tonight, I just need to rest tonight, please bare with me. 

You see, as many of you know my mum is currently battling breast cancer, and today she went into hospital for further surgery, this time it's a major operation, full removal and reconstruction, she's staying in overnight obviously, and, well, whilst we're confident that this'll finally beat this horrible disease, it's still really stressful... Like, here on DeviantArt I try my best to present myself as a calm, logical individual, but in reality I'm a total nervous wreck...  

Agh, anyway, enough about depressing stuff, I'll share something that happened not even an hour ago. Our cat Snowball was squaring up to a dog, she was giving this poor thing the business, the dog was a husky/shepard cross I think...? I dunno, but he was a big dog I'd never seen around these parts, it'd escaped it's owner's house and was roaming the streets, so me and a couple of neighbors tried to catch him, cuz' we couldn't leave him to roam the streets and get hit by a car or something, eventually the others gave up, but I hurded him away from the road for half an hour until some folks in the next street helped me herd him into their back garden, according to them the dog belongs to some folks at the top of the their road, and had gotten out before, they took him in and are going to contact the owner tomorrow. 
All's (s)well that ends well. 

Heres a pic of the dog.
And heres our Snowball, magnanimous in victory! XD

Anyhow, I hope this made you smile as much as it did me, thank you Snowball, and mysterious dog, for a vital distraction when I need it the most. 

Most importantly though, thank you to everyone for their kind words and support, it means the world.
