She was giving me attitude yesterday because I hadn’t come out to see her in a couple weeks.

My dogs got into a neurotoxin andy beagle died horribly and my other dog survived but was in the animal hospital for a few days and is still recovering. She should be fine with time. My grief for my beagle is so bad that I had to take short term disability from work to get my mental health handled. I had to call a crisis line twice Wednesday night because I was completely breaking down.

I’m going to be visiting Sandy as I recover, but my surviving dog, Rosie, is a priority. We are staying with my parents until the vet gives her the all clear and she doesn’t know her brother isn’t waiting for her at home. She’s going to need me when she starts to grieve.

Here’s a pic of my girl. She was watching the news in that pic.
