I don't cry. It's too much trouble. I can't seem to stop if I start so I just don't start.

Melissa is my hero.

Also I'm nearly violently angry with any of my people who still aren't reading your story.

Also has Netflix called yet?

Netflix series, Podcast series, I’m here for all of it. Every year I buy a new planner and start goal setting with fresh optimism. Like clockwork, about 4 months into the year I have met no goals and have basically stopped using it to record anything. However, I did manage to journal 21 out of 29 days in the month of February this year. (Shout out to The Artist’s Way for Morning pages). All of this to say that I could never catfish anyone because it requires a level of organization, commitment and psychoticness that I have never once achieved in my life.

I rarely take selfies (let alone sad selfies) but I took many, many the morning of my pug’s scheduled euthanasia. Moxie and I were together for 18 years and I just couldn’t imagine how I would get by without her. I guess they weren’t technically selfies as she was in them.

That's so sad, I feel this deeply. Losing a dog is the most painful experience. When my last golden retriever, Madison died, I don't know why but I took a photo of his body laid across the backseat of the car when we took him to be cremated in 2016. I think because it was the last time I'd see him. I still can't scroll through my photos from that time because I can't bear to see it. Moxie was a trooper for making it to 18, I swear to god Perci better do the same.

She was a total trooper. I like to think she held on for so long because she knew how much I needed her. And Perci has the coolest mom and an exciting life. I’m sure he’ll want to stick around you for a long, long time.

This is so heartbreaking. 💔 my kids have asked for a dog for years (20+ years) and this is the exact reason I can't do it.

What we go through at the end is the worst, but giving a dog a good life, full of love, is so worth any amount of pain. (get one)

Side note: It's cool how much you document your life.
