Then tonight I got a bit of a surprise and sort of a wrench thrown into everything. I was checking the messages on my one phone that I don't use very often and there was a message from Tuesday. I haven't been listening to them very much because the only people calling them are bill collectors and who wants to talk to them. So the message from Tuesday was different. It was the SPCA here saying they had a dog that when scanned the microchip comes up with my phone number. In other words they have Sadie. Of course by the time I got this message tonight they were closed. I haven't heard anything from the person who has Sadie that she was missing and I'm honestly sort of mad that she turned up missing and I wasn't notified. Especially since I had been trying to get in contact with her for a while. So not sure what tomorrow holds but the way things are looking right now I don't think Sadie will be going back there. I plan on being at the SPCA tomorrow morning to pick her up (if she hasn't been picked up already). Which leaves me with a bit of a problem as far as having more animals than I had planned. That's 2 dogs (and 2 cats) which is a lot for an apartment and especially since I'm in the process of getting ready to move. Not really sure what to do about that.
I do also have a question though for those face*book fans. How do you de-friend someone? Don't worry, unless you're an un-announced family member who has found my blog it's not you. I know I've done it before but can't figure out how to do it now and also if you un-friend someone do they get notice that they were un-friended? Do your posts just stop showing up? What happens. I'd rather avoid the whole confrontation route but there's a family member who I often feel so judged by and I'm just sort of done with it. I want to distance myself from her as much as possible and while I don't want to call her out publicly and say "I don't want to be your friend anymore" I do really want to distance myself more. Any thoughts anyone?

I usually lurk, but Facebook woes? I've been having the same problems with my sisters-in-law. I'm all over it. :)
Click Account in the upper right hand corner, then Edit Friends, then under Lists on the left choose Friends. You can delete them by clicking the X. They don't get told you unfriended them, but you stop showing up in their friends list and that tips them off.
The way I dealt with the bitches-in-law was to edit all my privacy settings so people on my "limited profile" couldn't see or comment on my updates (it's under Account--Privacy Settings--Customize Settings). Then I added them to the limited profile list. They can't see or comment on anything I say, but they still show up as friends. I just say that I have no idea what's going on and I hope it will be fixed soon!
hey sorry about Sadie! to unfriend me..lol..you click on my profile, scroll to the bottom on the left side it says in tiny writing "remove from friends" and the other never knows unless the figure out you no longer on their profile..they dont get a message or anything like that.
I also have people who might as well have been de-friended b/c I don't let them see anything (status updates or photos), and I've hidden them from my feed. Of course, actually de-friending is easy, too, and it may take them a while to notice.
We may have to start calling you Dr. Dolittle with all your furbabies. :)
Sorry to hear about the situation with Sadie. I hope your upcoming move goes smoothly and you can manage with all the pets.
I'm so sorry about Sadie (and the puppy pee). As far as the facebook goes..well...I think that your posts just stop showing up. At least that's what happened when my hubby unfriended my 10 year old nephew. (Nephew was posting inappropriate things on his wall - even after we talked to him.) Isn't it crazy in the world of facebook all the new things we have to worry about?
I hope the upcoming move goes well!
I'm sorry about this sad situation, even more so because I have read your update as well including the ticks and the attack. I hope that you have get it sorted, I too would be very mad that the 'friend' who had her. I have had 3 dogs and 3 cats and yes I live in a house with a yard, but it can be done. We now have 3 dogs and 2 cats, still think I have overdone it with the 3 dogs but now they are all here I can't say bye to anyone of them. I hope your other friend can give her some love and support, she probably just needs some one on one for a while. It will take some time, why don't you try and contact 'the dog whisper' and he might have some tips for you. Best of luck, I'm thinking of you all there.
