Riding the Bike with One Pedal.

808s and other heartbreaks.

Our dear dog Suzy is declining. She has had a sinus issues all summer, and there’s nothing that can be done to help her; now her throat has swollen and she’s struggling to eat. Her spirits are subdued, but she is still happy to be petted and go outside, happy to see you come in the room. That’s the rub, isn’t it? They’re always so happy to see you. And your heart screams and begs and bargains and your mind knows what inevitably will come and your heart, it just wrenches and sobs a little bit more. Such unconditional love, so beautiful and unwavering.
All I can do is cry.

    Aw, I’m so sorry to hear this! Our little Max is aging, too, and I wasn’t sure he was going to pull through a few weeks ago. Hang in there!
