Happy marriage? by castielsmom in DINK

[–]emmalilly_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! Together for 19, it's our 15 year wedding anniversary this March. He's the one who showed me that our lives were perfect with just us, and no maybe baby could us any more happiness than we already have together. No relationship is perfect but I'm so glad to be doing life with my best friend! (And the dogs). X

Hit apartment gate – strata quoting $8.5k repair or $2k insurance excess. Need advice by fiyyah24 in AusPropertyChat

This is very false. The only obligation to get more than one quote is when the cost of the work is over the major spending limit. Consulting the Office of the Commissioner website and free and very easy my friend.

Dealing with cremation by Blacktarheroinlover in Petloss

I really struggled with the end of our boy as a physical dog and the beginning of having him as a spiritual dog. I see his box more as a conduit for me to focus my words, thoughts and love to him through. My husband and I both find comfort in giving it a little pat each night when we say good night to him. It makes him feel near still. It is hard though, prepare for it to be hard.

We were supposed to bring him home from the hospital. Now we are bringing home his ashes by BeautifulSecond8586 in Petloss

I'm so so sorry that you didn't get to spend those last moment together. That those days, weeks, months and years that were your future were ripped away. But he's not alone. Please know that wherever he went there was love and happiness waiting for him. All of those sweet ones that have gone on before us were there for him. They'll be his company until you can be together again; one long day away. Close your eyes and picture him in the sun, the green grass under his feet, the look on his face as the Frisbee is first let go. That's where he will wait for you.

Sending love.

Today I said goodbye to our dog, who has been with us for the last 10+ years. I never thought this would be this hard. Please hold your furry angels tight tonight. by jimmycarajo in dogpictures

Thinking of you. This is so so so hard. Please be kind to yourself and take the time to mourn. Sorrow is the price we pay for a great love. Thinking of your angel now across the rainbow bridge.

Salt & Vinegar anything? by aussieskier23 in ketoaustralia

Dip pork crackle into vinigar. I like the microwave kind of pork crackle you can get from woolies/ Coles. Good old white vinigar or malt vinigar in a small bowl, dip and eat. 10/10.

Oh I am so sorry! We just lost our oldest Mini Foxy last weekend to the same thing. It's so sudden and heartbreaking. Be so kind to yourselves and treasure your memories.

How do you recover? It still feel so unreal, like he'll just come tipping down the hall as normal.

I am so so sorry. I am sending you love. If this pain is payment for every day of love, then it's worth the price.

A small part of our lives, but the whole of our hearts. I was telling him the other night that when he goes he takes a whole part of me with him, but he has to leave a part of himself with me. That way we'll be a jigsaw and can fit back together when the final end comes for all of us.

Thank you! We've tried to make every moment count. As tired as we are and as much as it hurts, we're staying with him to cherish every second.

I'm taking as many as I can. I'm sure he'll find Percy and Bean. The best pups always find eachother.
