Day 3,388: I Love You Coco
It’s the change in tense that’s the hardest. From is to was. From love to loved. And it’s because for me, the tense hasn’t changed. It will never should, and should never change. Coco is my love. I love her. A really hard day, you guys. One of the hardest of my life....
Day 3,387: Unprepared
I said goodbye to Coco today. I wasn’t ready. I’ve spent quite a bit of time recently thinking about how she’s getting older, and how I really needed to pay attention to these days, these good times, and cherish them. And I did. I truly did soak it all up and enjoy...
Day 3,386: Pancreatitis?
So…no surgery for Coco today. Neurologist saw her, they put her under for an MRI, and that imaging didn’t show a ruptured disc anywhere. Maybe a sliiiiight one, but nothing that would require surgery. It didn’t explain the pain and the loss of mobility we’ve...
Day 3,385: Another Surgery?
Coco had to go back into the hospital today. She was worse last night—restless and couldn’t fall asleep until we drugged her—and this morning. She couldn’t hardly use her back legs at all. So, Liz took her to the ER. The ER vet thinks it’s likely she’s ruptured...
Day 3,384: Busy Sunday
I had a very busy day today. But, somehow…not in a stressful, overwhelmed kind of way. I think part of it, honestly, was that it was beautiful today. Just gorgeous. Clear blue skies, cool temps, warm (but not hot) sun… It would have been a perfect day to play golf. I...
Day 3,383: Droogz
Coco already passed out. High on droogz. Or, well…not high. Not those kinds of droogz. But…sleepy. We’re taking her to the neurologist on Wednesday. Really hoping they tell us that everything is fine. That she’s just going to have issues now with slippery surfaces,...
Day 3,382: Le Quick
Writing a super quick one because it’s already past 1 in the morning… Had a great time podcasting with Josh. The David Lynch deep dive continues! Turns out maybe he’s not quite so weird and hard to understand as most of us think. It’s all pretty much there. Work was...
Day 3,381: The Count
Coco borking right now. Her routine is all messed up because she went and got groomed today. But, she looks SO MUCH BETTER. It was worth it. I think she’s barking right now because she wants to dig on the sheets. We’ll see. Another solid day, you guys. I can’t say I...
Day 3,380: Wild
Good day today. I was just sitting here for a few minutes trying to figure out what I wanted to say about today and not really coming up with anything…in a GOOD way. I was just solid today. I did my stuff. Had another little mini breakthrough in my outline for the...
Day 3,379: Bork!
Coco on her shit tonight. Not wanting to take meds meatballs. Not wanting to take her Dasuquin chews. Borkin, even though we’ve taken her out. Sigh. She’s a willful one, that lady. It’s one of the reasons why we love her so much. Solid day today. Not nearly as good of...
