I’m ready to talk, but I don’t have the time…

Just a quick note to say that I’m adapting to life after Jasmine. I still want to write a memorial post about her, but it probably won’t happen for a few more weeks. I’m in my last 2 classes, which is keeping me busy until the end of June. We discovered a [...]

I brought Jasmine home today

The vet called Monday to let me know her ashes were ready to pick up, but I wasn’t ready. Today was the day. It was hard. I still get overwhelmed thinking about her, so I mostly think about work. I greatly appreciate all the kind thoughts you have expressed. She [...]

Walking it off

Without Jasmine following me around and needing me to attend to her, I’m kind of like the people in the commercials who can’t figure out how to eat or drive without a cigarette. In my case, I just work non-stop. No more getting up to take walk breaks. I have been trying to get out for a while in the evening. I got out for an hour tonight. It was a nice evening and I admired the sunset.

I’m not ready to talk about it yet, but…

After giving us 13 wonderful years, Jasmine let us know this weekend that she was tired and suffering, and that she needed rest but was in too much pain to get it. We took one last walk together, and then we took her to the vet and gave her the comfort she was asking [...]
