Today is a momentous day: I have FINALLY finished my yoga training homework!! After weeks and weeks of procrastinating, avoidance, and general slackery I can say that I have accomplished something awesome. This is a new thing for me....usually when things are difficult and not enjoyable I just give up, but I pushed myself to do it and it's DONE. What a relief, that program was so intense but extremely rewarding. Now I just have to record a 1-hour final video of me teaching, and teach my 2 hour Yoga for Sleep workshop and I will be certified. Yes! Can I say that I'm very proud of myself right now? Let me have this moment, because it's definitely a rare occurrence:
I AM SO FUCKING PROUD OF MYSELF I COULD KISS ME! WOO HOO!!
Alright, thanks
In other news, I think my dog is going to die or need to put euthanized soon. Ugh, I hate the thought of forcing her death but here's the thing: my dog is 17 years old. 17!! She is an absolutely amazing creature and I have cherished her every day since I brought her home when she was a wee 4 weeks old. She has survived two blown out knees at age 11, a splenectomy at 12, Cushing's disease for 6 years, and a fractured spine at 15. All with a waggy tail. But for the past 3 months she has been having major respiratory issues including chronic coughing and congestion, and despite several expensive visits to the doc my vet seems to be at a loss at what to do for her. She's also begun to lose her bladder control, and leaks diluted urine in her sleep. (Diluted urine=kidney failure, a symptom of progressing Cushing's disease.) I can't deny her age any longer, and I have to face the fact that she's nearing the end of the road...she's just not the same lately. I don't know what I am going to do without her, this girl has been a constant in my life since I was 9.
Oh Pebbles....I am so grateful for your beautiful presence in my life, but I can't let you go on in misery much longer. I'm going to be a basket case when you go.
Well, thanks for bearing witness to these two very different stories of my life. It helps to know that someone might care
Peace.

I had to put my Shady down last year and it's rough, especially when they have been with you that long, it's hard, but it gets better.

I can totally relate. I had my cat for 20 years and finally had to euthanize him because of failing health. It was a tough decision, but I know in my heart it was the right one. Good luck and stay strong!
