So, about a month ago, I lost my dog.
He was 16 years old, and we knew the time was approaching, but we had no idea just how quickly it was going to come.
An emergency trip to vet revealed an enlarged spleen, a heart murmur, and countless tumors inside his stomach. The very next day, after not even being able to hold in his anti-nausea or pain pills, we knew we had to have him put down. Through all of our fertility struggles, Dontos had remained "our baby." He was in my life, for literally, half of it. 14 years.
Even a month later, I'm still absolutely heart broken. I come home from work and open the door, expecting to hear his excited whines and nails clacking across the tile floor. Our house is quiet. It's lonely. I miss him so much. Along with how much I'm hating my job, it just put me in a really, really bad place.
I'm still in that bad place, but it's slowly getting better. There's a lot of crap going on, so I sincerely apologize for not being around. I have some absolutely amazing friends on here, which I have been severely neglecting. Not even replying to their messages, their notes. I am so sorry. There are just a ton of different factors going on right now, and unfortunately, the (incorrect) way I deal with them... is to shut out the world.
For the past month and a half, I had been 60+ hours at work, and it's finally calming down now. Things will get better, I know they will. I just deal with them in horrible ways. So thanks for continuing to message me, and telling me you miss me, and that I still matter to you. Thank you. I love you guys, and please don't take it personal. I just suck.
I commissioned this picture for my husband and myself, as a Christmas present. I'm going to get it framed, and give it to my hubby as a present. For as many pictures as we have of just Dontos alone, or me & the doggo or hubby & the doggo, we didn't have one of the 3 of us together. Now, we do.
Artwork is by the absolutely amazing
-- I've gotten a few pieces from her over the years, and she's just an amazing person to work with, but also just chat with. Thank you again for the incredible job you did on this picture
