I’m sorry, but I got nowhere else to morn this morning.

I lost a gooder boy last night. There was no signs of distress or illness. He did all he normally did all day. From getting his treats to running in and out of the doggie door and barking at the UPS man.

We rescued him from being chained up outside and brought him home to live his best life. I think he did. And he will be sorely missed.

    I’m sorry for your loss, but I had to laugh when it took me entirely too long to figure out that apparently “dumbbell” is a kind of dog and not a fitness instrument.

    Very sorry to hear that. I know how hard it can be to lose a pet. Many times you miss them worse than a person.

      Many times you miss them worse than a person.

      I know they’re “just” pets, but I can get that. You’re their whole life, they don’t really comprehend life and death the way people do, and if their simple, uncomplicated love (maybe) sets a ceiling on how much they give back to your wellbeing, it also sets a much higher floor.

    That sucks so much. I’m sorry. I always say that as hard as it is, the only alternative to losing them is never having them, which is of course completely unacceptable. Grieve, heal, and when you can stand it, give another that same good life you gave your dumbbell.
