Tomorrow

Yesterday, I was wondering whether I was giving up too soon, and spent the afternoon looking for links that would tell me when "it's time," and asking friends that had to put their dogs to sleep how did they know... Maybe I was looking for an excuse to push it further, it's so hard to let go! he was still eating treats, and we even played -a very slow version of- fetch with his tennis ball... The links did not give me the excuses I wanted..

Today, I  am wondering whether I waited too long. After a very bad night, his decay from yesterday to today is incommensurable... today he won't even eat peanut butter; he can barely get up and walk...

The vet is coming tomorrow instead of Friday... It breaks my heart to see him suffer this much, and I can't let it go on any longer.

And the moment has finally come

This is not the next post I had talked about...but this feels urgent.

We have a saying in Spanish "no hay deuda que no se pague ni plazo que no se cumpla." It means, more or less, that "there is no debt that is not eventually payed and there is no deadline that does not arrive."

I miss my friend.

I am not sure what happened, something broke, and I miss him. We did not fight… he just went away and I do not know why. And I miss him.

That’s it. I am officially cursed. Or something


AAARRRRGGGGHHHH.

So, after having my front tire exploding twice this past week, there was no chance of me getting another flat, right? WRONG.

A monster update... still hanging on.


I am happy to report that monster Lukas has had a good couple of days… After refusing to eat on Friday, I increased the dose of steroids and began giving him an anti-nausea medication; they worked like a charm…
