Today was an awful day. It started off normal, I took Misty for a walk, that lasted longer than usual. She started getting diarrhea, and kept having it, even when I took her inside. It turned red and she was clearly in distress so I took her to the emergency vet. The vet found a tumor in her abdomen that was of considerable size, and it was probably going to get worse. Considering this and her other health problems, and her age, I had to make a very tough decision and I had to euthanize her. I wish I didn't have to do it, but I figured it was better than her suffering. RIP Misty.

I haven't been eating well, I think eating sweets and junk is a coping mechanism. I've been walking which is good, mainly to get out of the apartment. It feels empty, walking helps some though it still reminds me of Misty. One of my neighbors told me I should get a hobby which I'm thinking of doing. I hope I can at least keep up with the walking.

Hey Matt, sorry to hear about Misty, that was a tough but necessary decision. She lead a very good and long life, you gave that to her.
In about an hour we have to take our old dog, Sister, to the Vet to be put down. Not a good week for old dogs. When you get a pet you know something like this has to happen eventually, but that doesn't make it any easier when the time comes.

I did okay calorie-wise but most of what I ate was junk. I haven't walked as much but I think that might be okay because I believe I get more exercise walking by myself than I ever did walking Misty, since when I walked her, I would stop every so often so she could sniff and use the bathroom. I hope I can keep the walking up, when I walk all I can think about is Misty.

It's ok to grieve over Misty, Matt & thinking of her when you're walking is not a bad thing at all. One day you will know when it's time to get another dog. It took me over a year before I knew I just had to get another dog. There is a dog somewhere down the track waiting to be rescued by you when you are ready.

Thank you. I've been thinking about her every day. I've been trying to keep busy by walking to no avail. I'm waiting for her ashes to be delivered, I hope Ill get some closure by spreading them though I'm not sure where. I think it'll be at least a year before I get another pet, unless I decide to take in one of the stalker cats.
