Hey Guys, Holy Christ, it seems like I only post here when I’ve been devastated by some pet related incident. Today is no different. You’ve seen this cute little guy in my last few videos, Vincent. I fostered him for 10 days and he found his forever home yesterday. This was the plan. Pick him up and get him ready for adoption. Well, now I literally want to die, I’m so upset. And I don’t use the word literally as freely as most do. WTF is wrong with me? I feel like my heart has been ripped out, again. What made me think I could do this? And if I hear one more person tell me how I should/could have kept him, I’ll scream. I followed a plan and stuck to it. I wanted desperately to foster an animal since we lost Abbey so recently and I knew we weren’t yet ready to adopt. I needed to help some how and thought this would be a good start. A dog in whom I had no emotional interest. I love a big fat old bully type girl who needs help trusting again. I can do that. Then, off one of the 5 vans filled with dogs and puppies from Texas came this scruffy 12 pound terrier boy who couldn’t seem to care less about me or where he decided to pee in my house. Well, I haven’t stopped crying since I last saw him 35 hours ago. That’s right, even in my sleep, if you can call my drug induced coma sleeping. And food? Who can eat when feeling like this? These feelings are not too different from a bad break up. A break up where I encouraged him to find someone else and then realized that it may have actually been me all along. I’ve done everything short of bribing the woman who runs the rescue to get him back for me. All the reasons my family and I decided not to get a dog so soon suddenly seemed less important, even fading away. If I think hard, I can remember. But mostly I remember a hairy little guy who loved me, followed me everywhere, slept on me, and made me smile. I am not looking for some munchausen by proxy sympathy here since I continuously find myself and get myself into this situation. I just feel like you are all a part of my family who deserve to know what this crazy Louzer is up to. Have any of you attempted to foster and ended up in a loony bin? That’s where I’m headed. The LOUny bin. 💕oxoxo Lou

Hi Guys, it’s Lou. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting lately. I’ve been struggling a bit. I think I didn’t realize how much Jax was pacifying my longing for Abbey. He left with his dad two weeks ago and I guess having him here for 3 months was supplying me with some of the happiness that Abbey used to. I know we’ve been here before and I’m sorry for being here again, or maybe being here still. I am only letting you Louzers know this because I don’t want you to think I’m being lazy or having too much fun to upload. I think about you guys EVERY DAY. I’m just not very funny right now. I love you all and thank you for understanding my temporary inability to function. I will see you soon, I promise. 💕oxoxo Lou

Hey My Lovely Louzers! Here's a review without having to watch an entire video. IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact (anti-aging serum foundation). It was my first time filming at night and I thought my soft box lights and make shift ring light would be fine. Wrong. Until I watched the video back, I couldn't see the true color of this stuff on my skin. It's the second lightest shade they have and it looks like I am applying dijon mustard on my face! Delicious. Also, I guess I didn't realize how much daytime actually contributes to my lighting. The footage was just too dark to use. Anyway, for $38, I'm going to say, no. The coverage is sheer and thin and it felt like my brush was wet when applying. It smells like citronella/Pledge. I think it would work well if you can match it perfectly to your skin color, but with only 7 shades available, I don't know if that's possible for very many. Have any of you guys tried this stuff? What did I do wrong? Should I have used the spongy disk thing it came with? Should I not have moisturized before using? Please, let me know. I will work on a different video tomorrow, but until then... I love you guys and can't wait to see you soon! oxoxo Lou

Hey Louzers! I am starting a new series on my other channel where I will rate and review rooms from pictures (or video) sent in by viewers, (you!). If you have a room in your home that you think is pretty awesome or one that needs a little design help, send pics or video to ohbyallmeans@gmail.com. In your email, please let me know what you need help with or why you think your room is so fantastic that it doesn't need any. Four photos are necessary; view from the front, left, right and back. For videos, a 360 degree view for up to one minute would be nice. Also, make sure you put the following somewhere in your email before signing and sending: 
By sending this email, I accept that all media attached or within will be subject to display and critique on the Lou's YouTube channel, Design Time.
No, I don't have to do a disclaimer but I don't want anybody crying because I don't like their brown leather recliner with light up cup holders.
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Thanks so much for sharing with me.

Hi Guys, i wanted to let you know that I will be back on the tube in a few days but I won’t be talking about what happened this past week. I can’t. I know a lot of us have gone through this heartbreak before. It is soul crushing. I suppose I am grieving my way, whatever that is. I might be physically without that sweet, beautiful part of my life, but she will always be in my heart and in my memories. I would like to say how grateful I am for all of your love and support. Thank you for sharing your experiences and feelings with me here. I read and take in every comment as if it’s the only one there. I would have liked to say this to everyone in a video but I’m saying it here instead. You guys are good people and I appreciate you. 💕

Hi Guys. Turns out that Abbey always had an appetite, it just hurts her so much to swallow that she associates food with pain now. When the pain meds hit her just right, she’ll tolerate the pain momentarily for something really yummy. Even if the tumor could be removed and she wasn’t in pain, she would only have 1-3 months of life left. I am torn apart. My heart is broken. I don’t want her to leave me. It’s so hard to see her in pain. There is nothing I can do at this point to make her better. I would give her 7 years from my life just to have her for another year. I honestly don’t know how to get through the next 24 hours. I didn’t want to post a pic of her sick so I chose this one of when we had matching hair. I’ve lost people and pets before. I guess I forgot how devastating it is. Thank you guys so much for being here with me and for all of your support and love while we go through this. Some would say it’s just a dog. Maybe so, but this dog has my heart in her little speckled paws.
Love you all💕oxoxo Lou
