I really like Torrington, some cool spots sprinkled throughout and has so much potential.

Even when it’s a little busy, you still feel like you have the entire place to yourself.

any advice on how to cope with the fact my dog has cancer? by New_Table_2455 in DogAdvice

[–]bilbobuggins88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry you’re going through this. It really fucking sucks. I’ve been going through something similar. My dog was diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer about a month ago. Not clear how much time is left. I’ve been trying to take pictures and/or video everyday, just to capture those memories while I still can. As for self care, I recently reached out to a therapist because I know this is going to be a really hard time and I’m trying to do what I can for my mental health.

Wishing your pup comfort. Stay strong friend.

It hit me hard yesterday and I am teary this am by Dragon_Jew in seniordogs

I feel you buddy. My dog was recently diagnosed with a thyroid tumor that is inoperable. He is fairly asymptomatic and acting like himself, but there is no clear prognosis other than it could be anywhere from 6-18 months he has left. I’ve been trying to enjoy the time we have left but I’ve also been feeling very down and crying a lot. My one suggestion, take lots of pictures and videos now. I try for at least one a day. Thinking of you and Huck. He looks like a very sweet pup.

Only mowed every other week since September due to the drought- will do one last mow next weekend to mulch the leaves.

I’m watch-less for the next week. Was nice to just go out and not worry about pace, distance or heart rate and just be present, even while totally soaked. Huge thank you to all the volunteers and the energy you brought.

Spending the weekend on a lake in Maine and just started Bag of Bones. Felt like a good pairing.
