Crazily enough I need a break from year end shenanigans with Deere and an unwind so, I will put my ramblings on paper ( or web form rather ) in this post.
SO... here goes.
Pet owners out there, you often wonder what your pet is thinking nearly all the time. I am not a true pet owner in the sense I have no animals in my house or at my place, bc I am a softy to the point that I feel guilty having to leave for work and leave a pet in a crate, locked up etc. However, those who know me well know that in 2007 when I moved away I got my parents this little gem.
He would be named Tanner Chase, and the name has certain variants, Tbug, S&#!head, and buddy. I am sure there are others maybe not quite PC for this platform.
TBug is a big lover and everyone who knows him knows that. So tonight he isn't overnighting in his normal bed but at the Vet's so he can get some weird spot removed from his face. While, the procedure should be minor, I can't keep the thoughts out of my head of what is he thinking?
I am sure he's like us at times, scared, afraid, lonely, but also he is probably jazzed up bc hes hanging out with other dogs and pets. It makes me appreciate the fact that when whoever it is that picks him up tomorrow he will smile greatly and be so ready to come back home to his farm and family. Really, you ever see a dog smile?! Its really the coolest thing.
No this is not an eulogy, its just random thoughts of human that pass through my head of thoughts of dog. (Shameless plug on social media if you haven't looked) We can all relate right?! He's somewhere in a dark, unfamiliar place tonight. Far too recently I have seen too many reports of suicide and those things make any of us sad if we've lost a loved one at all.
Challenge yourself to make sure you reach out to people that may be in that spot. You never know what thoughts they may be thinking if you don't ask them. Maybe they need support and a friend.
I know I am always a friend when someone needs it. I know my career is demanding at times, but it doesn't stop us from being a friend. Reach out to all you know who may need it. You just never know what they are going through.
While you're at it, please share an extra prayer for the family pupster, like I said its minor but they never hurt. Tanner would love you for it. It LEGITIMATELY breaks my heart that he has to stay overnight at the vets, but I know the caretakers there, and they absolutely love him. They've tried to keep him before! They will take great care of him. WE all can't wait for him to get home tomorrow. Love you Buddy!
***Thanks for taking the time to read my crazy thoughts... I have more but just keeping it brief tonight.
