Ups, Downs & Parting Gifts
8 years ago
Hell it has been a crazy year hasn't it?
Political craziness in the two countries I'm inbetween, falling out and reconnecting with friends, stress from work and family.
Loss and gain.
Thursday last week my partner Grave told me our dog Brandon was having trouble getting up and in pain, while sent home with the standard pain medication and told to come back if he stayed the same we all attributed it to just him starting to get old and being a bit of a house dog. By saturday, he'd lost the use of his lower body and the decision was made to have him put down.
Grave's lost her best friend who'd been with her for a long number of years, I've lost someone who made me feel like real family. Dogs don't live as long as us, and if something goes wrong it's not always as easy to fix... can't tell a dog to sit still and mend. It's a big blow, we're dealing with it, had some nice words from friends but time's going to be the only real thing that helps with recovery.
Funny how life works though, the first step of our marriage visa was approved yesterday too... kind of like a parting gift from our dear friend.
Just keeping the world update on my little bubble - I'm not sure how to feel today.

A lost is never easy to deal with, and dogs as companions as much valuable as humans in our lives. I hope you 2 cope well with that. Be well.
