This week was a sad, sad week. One of our little Pekingese dogs, Tiki, got very sick and had to be put down, late Thursday night. I've cancelled my trip to Toronto to see family/friends because I was too tired to drive and thought I'd be sad all weekend and that's no fun to put on everyone else. So instead I will just stay here and maybe get some distracting work done. I didn't pay great attention in teaching yesterday so I might review those topics, knit and clean, and do other distracting things. Most of the friends I have told have a similar story of losing a pet, often a childhood friend, and commiserating yesterday certainly helped.
No knitting pictures today, just Tiki and her best friend Torch.

Oh dear, I am sorry. Our dogs are just our lives, and I know what it's like to lose one. Take care of yourself...give Torch a hug.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorette, that's really nice of you. I've never had to put down a dog, it was way harder than I expected. Torch has naturally sad looking eyes and I think I have countertransference of my sadness onto him. Or it may be transference. I was never very good at psychology.
