  • My pug is on his very last legs, and I plan to have a come to Jesus with my ex about euthanasia this week (he was on vacation last week and so I just powered through so as to not ruin it, but is back today). He has diabetes, is blind, has tracheal stenosis, atopic dermatitis, also has a dry eye, has fatty lipomas, and dementia now, and seems very unaware of everything around him. I try to get him to sleep as much as possible, when he’s awake he coughs and roams and pants and it’s terrible. I’ve had a very long week.

    But damn he was a funny dog even just a couple of years ago, and so affectionate. He used to scream in joy driving all the way to the dog park, and people in there could hear him blocks away. He could knock over any big dog he wanted, and he would eat the wildest things. I’ll miss him so much, I already do.











  • I had vacation this week. I have to live with my vicious covert narcissist ex right now because of money and our dogs, one of whom is pretty close to the end of his life, and honestly my day to day life with him is very nasty as he’s extremely manipulative and vicious. I can’t change this right now.

    But he went away by himself this week, so I took it off; I have tons of vacation time, and it’s been SO NICE even doing basically nothing to just not really think about his horseshit for a week. He has been giving me the silent treatment for over 6 months now for reasons that I don’t know and don’t have the energy to find out, other than a few really vicious attacks and basic communication about day to day stuff we have to notify each other of (like appointments or dog things or whatever). It’s SO nice to just do what I want and detach from all this for a week. I’ve been going swimming at the community pool almost every day, and just floating around on a pool noodle for an hour is just nice to escape. Can’t wait to have him out of my life for good.
