Thanks, Chris. I'll be OK. I'm relieved not to have to watch Joanne suffer.
I actually know that feeling.....There was relief and sadness when I lost my first wife.....while a dog can not be compared to a wife, I had to spend most of the last 12 months careing for a dog that lost its mind and most of its body.....and my partner has done that to me before.
In the last few weeks, I almost lost a friend to complications with a kidney transplant, I lost two pilots...and so many friends have serious issues......loosing one to covid 6 months ago hurt too. I am trying to take out as many dying trees as I can before the snows hit.....and all the other work...while taking care of a K9 that ripped the skin off of one leg from knee to elbow while my partner is away on the dog show circuit.....and fire season isnt over yet....
I feel for you and am glad you arre doing as well as can be expected. I am having a tough time as usual dealing with the fact that the periods of night are now longer than the periods of day....
The icing on the cake is that when we needed our vet to help our dog, she said there was a concensus at the practice and they no longer want to see us...they wouldnt tell us that of course before we needed them......they took 2.5 hours to put down one of our dogs as the vet is incompetent and I had to watch my wife laying on the floor of that practice holding the dog, crying hysterically, wondering why they left us and came back into the room 4 times and put us through 2.5 hours of agony.....Thankfully, this injury,
we had a great ER vet service and a real vet now to look after our needs......
I am sure you had/have a great support base for your needs....
Back to the grind tomorrow for me.....
