I’ve been fighting with myself for about the last week.
I’ve been tossing around the idea of shutting down the blog and just quitting. My head keeps saying, “Yes shut it down.” But my heart still wants me to do it. I sit there and think about how stupid it is to care this much about a BLOG! A BLOG!! But I guess it’s not just about the blog itself–it’s about the relationships that have formed from it. I consider you all my friends! I don’t discuss tampon flushing with just anyone you know. And I would miss you if I left!
I mean who else will I tell about the thousand times I catch Lexi eating her own poop or Sadie eating Kleenex out of the trashcan DAILY?? Or how about seeing the saddest thing ever on Valentine’s Day–a middle-aged man, sitting by himself at a bar in a restaurant enjoying a beverage in his fancy fur coat?
YOU ARE ALL I’VE GOT PEOPLE!!!
So, just bear (or is it bare?!) with me until I get out of this weird funk I’m in and I’ll be back and better (or at least equal to) than ever!
Hi Everybody! I'm Angela. I love my dogs, adore my husband and try to make the best out of everyday! 
You know I go through this every day. I think no one reads my blog and no one cares if I have one. This may be true in my case, but I WOULD miss you and the puppies. I love your style of writing and I would miss seeing those two sweet babies of yours. If you do decide to shut ‘er down, I can completely understand…but I would be sad.
Whaaaaaaat?? I would miss you too much if you were gone!
I know how it feels to be in the blog funkies. I’ve been there myself the past month or so, but I’m finally getting back in the swing of things.
Don’t leave us–just take your time! We’ll be here if you decide to continue!
Please don’t go. I would miss your funny stories and super cute pup pics. I know, this is a completely selfish thing to say, but you make me smile every time I read one of your posts. Stay.
I’ve been worrying about you since you hadn’t blogged in awhile. I hope you get out of your funk. You can’t quit because I don’t want to be the only one that blogs about poop.
I find it very interesting how many people decide to stop blogging. I guess it’s like no longer wanting to write in a journal. Now that I have started blogging I don’t see an end in my future. I have actually made it a goal to try to blog every single day…but I dont’ have dogs! (or kids)
I think you should do what enriches your life. If blogging isn’t it, then don’t do it. If you are just in a funk, then wait it out. I’ve got you on my blogroll and when you have a new post I’ll see it.
Take care. I hope you do come back as I have really enjoyed getting to know you.
You are like the 3rd post I have read like this and I have to admit I am feeling the same way. What is it about this time of year??? My problem is that I don’t have anything to blog about, my brain is blank and my pockets are empty so there is no decorating going on at this house or craft ideas. This is a pitiful state to be in. I am hoping in the coming weeks that some inspiration will come along to give me something to blog about that is blog worthy.
Stay strong…keep blogging or we would miss you and the pups.
Ok I know I haven’t been very good with the blogging thing so I can understand how you feel. Just promise me no matter what you won’t leave Twitter!!!!!!!!! Then I would definitely go through withdrawls.
you can’t just leave! yes take some time, get out of the funk and then come back. we will miss you! and lexi and sadie
i went through the same emotions last week. i have been down in the dumps and all i was writing about was being depressed and how lame life is right now. so i took a few days off. got my wind back though. take your time. it is not mandatory that you write every day, although i have missed your posts and pics of the pups! **hugs**
I know exactly the funk you are talking about.
Hope you find your answer!
I’m trying to find the exact answer on my other blog:
http://www.hulassecrets.blogspot.com
Read this: http://www.tartx.com/blog/?page_id=233. This is YOUR blog; you post when you want to, and don’t when you don’t. If it’s a chore, then don’t. If you have something to share, then do. We’ll read you whenever you have something to say or to show us. Easy, peasey! Now take it easy! (Ooooh, that rhymes!)
Huh?! Whuh?!?
Please don’t go girrrllll (in my best NKOTB).
Bloggy funks and blahs have definitely come over me. Don’t feel like you HAVE to post every day, heck, every week. I know I would miss you terribly! Did I spell that right? Anywhoo, I’d miss you!
It’s bear, you got it right the first time. See now what would you do without us, find yourself and english teacher? BTW I have a poo eater too, my frenchie is terrible about it so don’t think you’re the only one!
I would really miss you if you left. Please don’t go!! But I understand weird funks. And if you need to take a little time, do, but come back, please!
Lexi eats her own poop? Really?
I think everyone feels this way from time to time. If I were you, I’d just take a break ~ then when you’re ready to come back to the blogging world, you can come back and we’ll be here to welcome you!
I know I’ll miss you though…
I’ve been having those feelings too. Probably everyone does. But we would really miss you if you stopped blogging!
Totally understandable feelings. Yes I would miss you if you shut your blog down, but if you need to do it for yourself then do what is best for you. Take a break and see how you feel in a week or so, don’t do anything drastic, lol! Take Care!
From all the above comments it appears you aren’t the only one in a funk. I know I am! It’s a very depressing time right now, with the weather and the economy down the tank. Hope you don’t go, you and your pooches would be sorely missed!!
I know I’ve never commented on your blog before, but I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the few blogs that I read regularly that isn’t written by one of my “real world” friends.
No!!! You don’t want to do that! But I hear ya! We all go through those times. But don’t leave us hangin!! We love all the doggy lovin!!
Okay.. that sounded a little bad…. I meant we love the focus on your dogs and life… not anything dirty.. ha!
Oh, honey, I am SO THERE! As you have probably (or more likely NOT) noticed, I haven’t commented in a while. If it wasn’t for my family hounding me to keep updating my blog, I would have a hug gapping whole in it right now. But I pressed on, and suddenly I wanted to read other’s blogs again too! I’m trying my best not to feel guilty about not commenting – it haunts me, but I won’t succumb. I’d like you to feel guilt-free too.
It has been a while! I read your tampon post and had to laugh. ha ha. I am a flusher. However, our house we just built has a septic tank and I didn’t know tampons were not compatible. hmm……how can I NOT flush??
Anyways, glad you are still here! Thanks for another good laugh!
If you “de-blogged” yourself, what kind of “forum” would Sadie and Lexi have then? Huh???????
DON’T even think about it woman….I would hunt you down like a bug!!!! I have to have some other dog butts to look at besides my own. And I would miss you!!!!
Well don’t go yet! I just found you today. I was over at Pioneer Woman for my daily addict’s injection and when I was done, I went trolling for other interesting sites. Glad I popped in here because not just everyone TALKS about tampon flushing. That’s important! And I love dogs, too. In fact, I just featured one of mine in a story about bears. So, I like to hear about dogs that do crazy things. Keep on keepin’ on! Take care.
We’d miss ya if ya quit. Take a break if ya need to. But, don’t quit!
you can’t quit blogging. we would so miss you, your sense of humor and your adorable pooches. we’ll wait for you.
