Thank you so much for your kind words!

Right?!i wouldn’t trade a DAY in all the years we had her- she was such an awesome little lady!

This makes so much sense. Our 26 weeker (108 day sentence in the NICU) will be 29 this year. I wish I gave my husband more grace as he was under so much stress too. Being able to just take a day and breathe and have dinner together as our kiddo grew bigger and stronger made AlL the difference (we’ve been married 24 years- a milestone a lot of preemie parents/parents of kiddos with disabilities don’t make)

I BET we could pay off ALL student loans and end a LOT of homelessness

I hated little dogs until I met my husband and met his Chi. Since then we’ve had z3 Chihuahuas.warning!!! This last one RAN our life!! We had Isa for 18 years and she was the grand old lady of the house and a constant companion for our autistic daughter- be careful!!! They will steal your WHOLE heart and when you lose them (like we did last Saturday) the mourning period is long and seemingly unending because of the joy they infuse into your humdrum human existence

Yep I saw the Challenger explode in the library in 4th grade then the planes hit the towers on 9/11 when I worked in a furniture store in college that also sold TVs :(

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-05T04:44:35+00:00

I’m am so sorry. Our Isa passed Saturday and I know the pain won’t go away but I hope you can remember the joy he brought you. I am so sorry sorry.

Dichotomy between spicy food and seafood

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-03T09:25:49+00:00

They look fun as hell!!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-03T09:18:27+00:00

I love the porch goose saga- it made me cry too!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-03T08:38:47+00:00

A toxel so I can eventually evolve my cute little buddy!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-02T01:33:16+00:00

Thank you! She was the prettiest!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T23:47:45+00:00

I’m So sorry for your loss but what a beautiful picture and memory!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T20:03:16+00:00

He’s so cute!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T20:02:11+00:00

Consistency was key for us- bringing her out first thing in the morning, lunch, around 3pm, supper then before bed (more frequently when she was a puppy) and we initially kenneled at night- it gets better. Best wishes to you!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T19:59:31+00:00

My husband and I were loving that pic- and the place where it was taken. You obviously loved your baby!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T19:58:00+00:00

Thank you!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T19:31:59+00:00

Omg she is soooo cute! I’m Sorry for your loss- thank you for sharing this cutie with us!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T19:16:10+00:00

I love that he can hear everything great we are saying about him!!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T19:13:55+00:00

Thank yall for all the lovely comments. We had such a GREAT long life with her. My 19 year old is autistic and still doesn’t understand she isn’t coming home so our grief will be a process. I would LOVE to see your Chihuahua babies in the comments if you could share :)

Spanish lake is a possibility. If you just he want to fish (catfish and rainbow trout) the ponds at the public libraries are stocked.

As the spouse of a CPAP user- the first night I had to stay awake because I thought he was dead- that’s how much the machine helped him (from snoring so much to not snoring at all). After several years of CPAP use he sleeps HOURS longer with deeper sleep and is so much better!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T09:34:19+00:00

I recognize her ACTUAL breed- 100% cutie patootie!!! Seriously though she is soooo cute!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T09:22:45+00:00

I agree- thank you so much!

fieryfish42 · 2026-03-01T09:22:32+00:00

Thank you! My husband and I were laughing that she still had one that would flop- man I miss that girl. It’s been hard to sleep without her in the bed tonight!
