Time Away- R&R After Losing My Beloved Pup

Being part of a senior small breed puppy rescue for many years is never easy. My heart has become softer with time and I don’t deal with the passing of my pets as easy as I once did. Specially when it came to Belle, “Snake” as we lovingly called her.

We had her in at home hospice care here the last 2 days her life took a drastic turn. Being almost 20 years young, she was my baby for 17 years after I rescued her from a puppy mill breeder), her health shifted drastically overnight. We let her comfortably remain at home with hospice care and she passed away in my arms before the at home euthanasia service arrived. After my fathers passing earlier this year, I think this was the final straw that broke my soul. Grieving is such a hard process. As sentimental as I am I have always tried my hardest to remain strong but I just couldn’t this time.
I decided to sequester myself for a few days at La Estancia Hotel, in La Jolla. Siting poolside in a cabana (see first pic) and eating mediocre burgers and sipping virgin cocktails is what I needed.

Of course as soon as I went home, I was only minutes away, I made myself a plate of my favorite comfort food- pasta!

I think I’m done having dogs for a bit. I still have my 2 chihuahuas, my daughters pug and my dove and chicken flock with me, but I think this is the last round of puppies I bring in to my home.
I have missed you all. I hope you and yours are doing lovely.
May your home be filled with warmth, your pantry full and may you always have good health!
