how's your week going, Beehaw
things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i've been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week

My dog passed suddenly this past weekend. He was throwing up and had other stomach issues so I took him to the vet Thursday. He stayed overnight getting IV fluids and waiting on bloodwork. Friday morning I get word that he had acute renal failure and he basically couldn't make it without a week at an ICU, to the tune of $1000/day and 25% chance of survival, after which he'd get maybe a bad 6-8mo before dying. Next morning we took him to the vet and that was it. It's getting a little better everyday but I miss him so much.
I have decided to be a lot nicer on the internet as a result, at least. I think I've allowed the natural toxicity that emerges in online discussions to really seep into how I talk to people. I've been really trying to be aware of it and to be the person he knew I could be. He was the best. I loved him so, so much y'all.
Big hugs. We had to say goodbye to one of our rabbits this week (he was 11) and it's never an easy thing to say those goodbyes. It sounds sappy, but you did right by him and showed him kindness that was motivated by love, and he knows it.
Thank you. I went back and forth about posting about him and chose not to at first, but I decided this comment section was lowkey/chill enough to at least get one more little semi-permanent (hopefully!) record out there that he was here and he was loved.
Big hugs. Dogs are the best people. It sounds like you did right by him and gave him a gentle send off. That's nice
I keep telling myself that we did the right thing. I know it could've been a lot worse. Just sucks
