Life I've had some shit hit my fan here lately and when I was feeling really, really down, I could always turn to my lil' pal Peanut for companionship. When she died suddenly on Thursday, it hit me VERY hard. That little dog has been my partner in crime for the last eight years and will be sorely missed. After some small family rifts and the needy, self-centered bullshit spewed by those who think of how their needs aren't being met, I decided to bail for some coast time. I needed it.
