Thanks buddy. Good news so far is my job title sounds a lot cooler. I ended up getting recruited for Stryker doing robotic assisted joint replacement surgery. Sounds cooler than a nurse or murse as it were.
How are you REALLY doing?

Had to put my first dog down yesterday and am a fucking wreck if I’m being honest..... ?
Going to need to suck it up soon so the other dog doesn’t go into a funk, just hate that I only got to spend 7 years with her because she got sick.... Way too soon and it’s killing me. ??

We're starting in Bradenton for the first 14 months, after that we'll be looking at Lakewood Ranch, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Lithia and some others. We're open to other areas, but we really don't want our kids going to the substandard schools. There are good and bad schools in those areas. We remember seeing some kids on a playground and were listening to them speak. I don't want my kids growing up and sounding like they're slow.
Zepherhills is the sticks. Wesley Chapel is like Schaumburg on Steroids - bumper to bumper traffic 24/7 but a very nice place to live. Lithia is nice. Up and coming. I used to work there. But its close to Riverview and that is a SHITHOLE. You are going to pay 200% of market value if you try to buy anytime soon. We are in Land O Lakes. Bought last year for $272k and this year its worth $330k and the same model across the street just sold for $375k. As much as I love to hear people moving here, its the wrong time to do so. The market is insane.
If I had to chose again I would pick somewhere in Trinity or Odessa. Or anywhere around this area.
Still on nights, but back in the warehouse. Different kind of stress. I honestly have my moments where I feel ok, and other moments I want to keep driving. At my core I’m not built that way so I don’t, but sometimes things are rough.
Work has probably been the most abusive relationship I’ve ever had, but unsure on what move to make.

Thanks guys.... It’s been a rough day for sure, so hoping I can get things better soon enough so I don’t end up putting the other dog into a funk as well. He’s definitely in tune with the fact that I’m in a rough spot and hasn’t been his usual hyper self, but I don’t want him to stop being that way permanently.
BADAZZTEALCOBRAIt will get better Man. Our furry friends are part of the Family.
2001 Old Yeller's rear end went out.
I spent a year trying this and that to get him to walk correctly. One day after work, I got home to find him laying in the TV room and he could not get up.
He dragged himself with his front paws out on to the patio, and pissed on himself.
I bath'd him, spent the evening close with him, had him in bed, talked to him all night.
First thing in the morning I carried him into the vet and had him put down.
He was only 5.
As you can imagine I was quite upset.
I put him down and went right to work.
Got to keep moving.. Time heals
Keep your head up man. It's not easy and it sucks losing a family member. It's coming up around the time I'll be doing the same most likely in the next few years but it'll hit my wife and kids harder. Just stay strong, push through, and keep the other one happy.
So sorry to hear man. To be honest I think I care for animals more than I do people a lot of the time. We had to put down our 1st bulldog when he was 13 years old. Which is quite old for a bulldog. His legs would give out, he would pee and poop in the house and u could tell he felt so bad about it but we never yelled at him. It still brings tears to my eyes to this day.
I do not like playing god. It was a horrible day. I just pounded a bottle when it was over

It was the same for her but only 7 which is really young for a Miniature Schnauzer.....
She had a really bad seizure about 11 weeks or so ago, and it was because a brain tumor or some neurological condition. So she got progressively worse, and when I would take her off the steroids for a day like we were trying she would be in really bad shape, and the days she got a steroid she was better but still not good.
Really just sucks losing them that young considering the lifespan they should have. ??
