My dog and my republic died yesterday.

Today [”post-mortem day”] I will be waiting for the guy with the backhoe to come so I can bury her.

There may be a metaphor in there, somewhere.

Right now, I don’t feel very strong or hopeful at all.

We have just experienced a political coup.

[and screw anybody who thinks I’m “whining”]

We also depend on a small home based business to survive.

A year?

*sigh*

with the backhoe to come so I can bury her

Backhoe?

Wolf Hound, Mastiff, Great Dane?

My sympathies on the loss of your dog . . .

For the republic, well, we’re all in this together.

Condolences on losing your dog. That's a huge loss in itself, regardless of the other major loss. Focus on the memories of your lost friend, who, no doubt, joyfully gave you all the days he/she had to give.

I hope someone posts a link to the Rainbos Bridge/Brunna thread for you. It was my salvation when my beloved Brunna died.

I’m sorry for your and our loss. If you’re whining, then let me join you as I am going through the same things. Cancer is cruel. I am happy for all the good times and great memories and look forward to better days.
