I don't think you've been insensitive in the least. In fact, I appreciate the support and sympathy, and I'm sure Crown does as well. So for that, thank you to all! I put away some remaining things and explained to our sons, "We're not trying to make him go away, we're trying to make his going away a little easier." To be honest, last night I felt foolish and weak ( despite logically knowing better ), but as my wife pointed out, I was the one who spent the most time with Cooper, from the pre-dawn hours to bed, he was often by my side. When I went out of town, he'd stand by the window and look for me. Thankfully, I'm far more functional and pulled together than I was yesterday and even last night. My wife has been there for me and grieving as well. I woke up around 1:30 and she'd been crying. We know we're not remotely unique in this, by the way. It's not even our first time. It's just so unexpected and shocking. So again, I appreciate all of you guys letting me vent here. Oh it will. To add some levity, I once again have to learn to pick up the food I drop on the floor.
Today marks a month without my boy. I'm sending a donation to the shelter we got him from and asking them to buy all of the dogs a treat for us. If you have a dog, please give them some peanut butter ( Cooper's favorite ) or something yummy to them today for me.
Gotta love it when the snow melts and you can find shit that has been buried away for a while. Snow Melt is the real Dog's Christmas, I think.
Got my daughter a Betta fish for her birthday. Today we added 8 neon tetras to the tank. Now there are 4 tetra...
Yes! She’s a bengal. Our last cat was a bengal and she passed back in September. We felt it was time for another one.
On the deck with a bottle of wine and a wet dog after a long and full week. She’s really starting to smell like a dog today. Fun times!
Fucking hell. My dog’s latest hobby is eating one of my garden sheds. Apparently she caught one of the bumblebees that was flying out through the knothole, and it’s her new favourite snack. It’s slowly becoming a structural issue, despite my failed efforts to get her to stop. Next step is dousing it in hot sauce or bitters.
