Welcome to yoonamania where I put down the nonsense that pops up in my head from time to time. Please do not expect to make any sense out of my blatherings. It's called nonsense for a reason. Nor should you expect to enjoy any good writing. My English sucks moose ass. But I don't really care since I'm sure your Korean isn't any better. Please try to keep your expectations low and just chill like potatoes... or beets... or parsnips. Oh and yeah, don't take it seriously unless you think I think you must.

Yours truly, etc. yoonamaniac

Beasts, Brooklyn


I might have to make the decision to put Brooklyn to sleep soon.

I hate myself.

    You cannot blame yourself!!! You are the most kind, generous pet owner I have ever met. I don’t know anyone else who would have completely rearranged their home to accomodate a dog like you have.

    Have you discussed behavioral therapy with your vet? Maybe Brooklyn’s aggression could be worked on…if not, if you trust your vet and they honestly think Brooklyn can’t be rehabbed, then you need to let her go. You have given her a chance at life that she never would have had if not for you.

    Sometimes, pets cannot overcome the abuses they suffer before they come to us. Don’t hate yourself, hate the people who started poor Brooklyn on a bad path that she can’t overcome.

    (((HUGS))) You know where to find me if you need an ear.

    I’m so sorry, Yoon. :(

    I know you tried. More than anyone else would.

  4. I’m soooo sorry yoon. =(
    You’ve done SO much for her, more than anyone ever would. There comes a time when heaven just becomes better than living on earth.

    Yoon, you are the single best dog owner I’ve ever encountered. I know that I tell you that all the time, but I stand by every word. I wouldn’t keep saying it if it weren’t true.

    You tried harder than anybody would have, and you gave her a life that she wouldn’t have had otherwise.

    As I said in my Plurk, I really look up to you, Yoon. I hope that one day I can grow up to be as caring and as compassionate as you are. Don’t for a second hate yourself, because no matter what decision you make, we will all stand by it.

    We’ll always be your friends, Yoon. I hope things get better for you and your fur-kids… I will say a little prayer for you right now.

  6. (((Yoon & Brooklyn))) Yoon, you are one of the most amazing pet owners I’ve ever ‘met’ online or in real life. The devotion you have for your animals is incredible. Not a lot of people would go through the lengths you have to give them a good life. I admire that.

    As someone who has been through a similar situation, I completely understand the heartache you’re going through. It’s one thing to decide to put a pet down to end their suffering, but completely different if that pet is healthy and the reason is due to aggression. Having my parents make the decision to put Fetch down was one of the saddest things I’ve been through. He was my heart dog and I’ll miss him forever. I am happy knowing that his last 9 months of life were enjoyable and the love we gave him was something he was missing and should have had during his entire life, but sadly did not.

    Is there any possible way you could take Brooklyn to Cornell in Ithaca to meet with the behaviorist there? We took Benny there and I believe it was the best thing we could have done. With the behaviorist’s suggestions, we were able to avoid another situation like Fetch’s. I don’t know if it will work for Brooklyn, but if it’s possible, I’d suggest taking her there. The behaviorist will be honest with you and let you know if it’s possible to rehab Brooklyn or not. My dad called her about Fetch and she told us that it would have been incredibly difficult to rehab him.

    Good luck with your decision. I’ll be thinking of you. (((hugs)))
