Ok I know I’ve been grieving for the last week but you’d think I’d notice bulldozers flattening land outside my window. The whole lot where the hotel is supposedly being built has been leveled. Last I heard the deal fell through although for a property that sold for 3.9 million dollars I wasn’t holding my breath that it would remain a pile of dirt. Yet when did they do this work? I’m staring out this window all day, everyday. I’m…
I got a package yesterday from the pet memorial place. I was certain it was the urn for my Marshy with his ashes and paw prints. I actually went downstairs to the guard booth to pick it up myself. I didn’t want it sitting there. I was already anxious and upset. These were what was left of my sweet boy. I opened the box and the urn, while pretty, was larger than I expected. It was also light, too light….
I don’t really know what to write. My heart is so heavy from the loss of my Marshmallow. I’ve stopped crying spontaneously but my heart hurts so much. Going to bed is the hardest part. Marshy was my one dog that ALWAYS slept touching me. Normally he slept under the blankets by my feet. As he got warm under there he’d come out and sleep on the blankets at my feet. This back and forth would go on all night…
I belong to three Facebook groups for dogs. One of them is English bulldogs and two are for French bulldogs. Anytime I see something posted about someone losing a dog, I always try to write. I completely understand and remember the pain of losing Boomer, my English Bulldog, over 3 years ago. When I lost my Marshmallow I posted it on one of the sites. I never realized how much those posts could actually bring a little comfort until it…
Still struggling with making the right call on my Marshy’s death. I questioned why nothing showed up in his bloodwork, urine or stool taken 6 weeks ago. I biopsies a lump on his side and I questioned a strange growing skin tag. How is he gone six weeks after his annual that he was fine at? My vet called me this morning explaining that cancer is different in dogs. There are some very aggressive cancers that can happen within weeks….
This was posted to me in one of my Facebook French Bulldog groups. A beautiful letter when you are grieving for your dog. I cried from the hi mom on. I love you so much Mellybean❤️❤️ Hi, Mom, Remember that night when I wasn’t feeling very well and we were all crying? I don’t remember much, but I do remember seeing and hearing all of you and feeling your touches and hugs…I remember hearing “we love you” and that one…
I’m writing this after a horrible evening at the emergency vet. Marshmallow breathing was becoming so labored as the weekend went on. By this morning he wouldn’t eat anything but a few pieces of chicken. I was going to wait until Monday to bring him to our vet but I actually was scared he wouldn’t make it. I was convinced he had a pneumonia. Just like I thought when my Boomer fell ill. I was wrong with him and I…
I’m very concerned about my Marshmallow. He is over 11 years old now and lately he’s not eating well. I’ve tried mixing many different things into his food, including his favorite, peanut butter. He might eat a few bites but then walks away. I can get him to eat a little more by feeding him each piece hand by hand. What starts at 8:30!with a 1/2 cup of food sometimes isn’t finished until 2:30. Then it starts all over again…
I’m recovering from my Sh’bam workout. Have a nice sweat built up and I’m still breathing fast although I’m not out of breath. I’m always looking for new workout programs that I can do to continue to burn some calories while being mostly wheelchair bound. With this workout, from Les Mills, Zumba, and my favorites on Beachbody on demand, they allow me to workout my arms while I bop in my chair. My feet never move. I do get a…
I had no idea what I was doing when I started my blog and truth is, I still don’t. I went with ipage and have stayed with them all this time. They’ve been perfectly fine for the few times I needed help, I really have had no complaints but it is very pricey. This isn’t a business. I’m just writing to give out information and talk about my own multiple experiences with MS. I was thinking of making a change…
