She was giving me attitude yesterday because I hadn't come out to see her in a couple weeks.

My dogs got into a neurotoxin andy beagle died horribly and my other dog survived but was in the animal hospital for a few days and is still recovering. She should be fine with time. My grief for my beagle is so bad that I had to take short term disability from work to get my mental health handled. I had to call a crisis line twice Wednesday night because I was completely breaking down.

I'm going to be visiting Sandy as I recover, but my surviving dog, Rosie, is a priority. We are staying with my parents until the vet gives her the all clear and she doesn't know her brother isn't waiting for her at home. She's going to need me when she starts to grieve.

Here's a pic of my girl. She was watching the news in that pic.

She'll only take her meds if they're in hotdogs. She also gets rice cooked in the hotdog water with scrambled eggs. It was my mom's idea lol.

She started playing today. Only for a couple mins at a time, but it's awesome.

My grief for Radar, her brother, is almost consuming me, but having her survive miraculously is making it easier. Sleep at night is difficult because Radar and I would cuddle all night. Not having his presence there is so hard and Rosie is not a cuddler. I'll get through it though. It's just going to take a long time.

She somehow survived near brain-death from a neurotoxin. She was blinded from a 107 degree fever but regained her sight. She's not going to have any long-term issues from this whole ordeal. She seized for almost an hour on Sunday night along with the fever.

So glad she made it. Her brother didn't, unfortunately. He seized for four hours and the vets couldn't get it to stop. We had to put him to sleep. He went peacefully and wasn't in pain or distress in the end

When we got home after Radar passed, Rosie ran the yard looking for him and she started having tremors. We thought she was just trembling from being upset, but then the gait issues started. When we left her in the care of the animal hospital early this morning for an admitted stay, she was very much aware of me and wanted nothing more than to lick my face and be held. She went from essentially braindead to that with the treatment the doctors did. She seems to be there cognitively, it's just that she has some sight issues now.

We believe that they got into rat poison of some kind. I don't use it, but I have many neighbors who don't have pets. I don't think it was malicious or anything, either. I think it was just a freak thing. Rosie and my cat will not be going back to my place, and we may be making my move to a new house sooner than intended.

Can y'all please pout one out for my baby. And maybe get a happy meal in his honor.

He was fine all day and then he just wasn't... The emergency vets did everything they could for him but we couldn't bring him out of it.

Lil dude was the best.

My mom came over to help me with some stuff and we got pizza. Apparently when my mom comes over when I'm not around she gets a Happy Meal and splits the nuggets between herself and the dogs. Radar was very upset about it.

It's also almost fattening up season! Exercise is going to be reduced and calories increased! She lost a bit of weight from the awful heat this summer but it wasn't too much and won't be hard to gain again.

She was perfectly behaved as usual. The farrier okayed me posting this pic btw

I'm a going as a social butterfly. I got a cute rainbow monarch wing cape thing at the renfair and I am going to print social media logos and tape them to a shirt. It's cheap, cute, and funny lol.
