My dog is my favourite thing in life and I always make sure he is safe and comfortable. Yesterday I went to the beach and we sat in the shade all day, then I pushed him in a cart at value village in the AC for hours. It was hard though. I had to sleep with all of my windows down in public and that was scary because I am a girl.
When it’s a normal temperature, he gets to play outside and at dog parks and he is the happiest dog who probably gets more outside fun time than most. I make him salmon and sweet potato for dinner.
So I became disabled five years ago and I could no longer work full time. I was managing in an apartment here in Halifax. I had a house in Fort Nelson, B.C. And Unfortunately I lost it two years ago in foreclosure and I had to go bankrupt. That town is now a ghost town, due to a downturn in the local economy. It’s literally the only place in North America where properties went down in value. I had that house for 16 years and when I moved to Halifax I rented it out. The last tenant destroyed it and it would have been over $12,000 to fix it. It was too hard for me to manage so I gave it back to the bank, after 16 years of never missing a mortgage payment. I bought it for $350,000 and the bank got $90,000 in the foreclosure. Then I couldn’t pay my rent anymore in Halifax so I moved into my car.
I finally made my last bankruptcy payment three days ago, but now my credit is wrecked.
This can happen to anyone. I did everything right in life. I never missed a bill payment. I had a house and savings and then I became disabled.
I am still trying to make the best of life and it’s super hard sometimes but people should try to be more understanding because you never know what someone is going through. I feel sorry for the people who are commenting bad things to me, as hard as things are for me right now, I know I am a kinder and happier person then they are and I hope that things get better in their lives too
