There are times, usually at 3am, that I wonder how in the hell my life led me to this place. Last night, it happened a bit earlier, at 1:30am, as Pepper was moaning in pain and we were trying to get her to eat something so we could dose her with a pill. Meanwhile in the room next door, Joe Boxer was bark-howling his displeasure at being crated and separated from his Pepper at the top of his very substantial lungs. When the “Holy hell” moment hit me, I was half asleep, sitting on the floor - the dirty dog fur covered floor - fingers covered in peanut butter and drool trying to convince the whimpering now womb-less pup that if she ate just a bit of her food, we could drug her up and make the pain go away. And every whimper from Pepper was echoed with a guttural howl from Joe Boxer and every howl was followed by a frustrated Scottish shout of “Shut up!” from Husband.
It was a long, LONG night. But, despite there being no sun and the weather just generally being a shit grey bad mood, today is better. Why? Because I went to Costco and they have Dark Chocolate Covered Mangos again! Yup. Happiness comes in covered in dark chocolate. Just that little bit of sugary joy brightened the doggy soap opera that is my life right now. So that’s what I’m taking with me into the weekend: a bag Dark Chocolate Covered Mangos and a womb-less dog we have to keep from jumping, running etc. for ten days. I so should have bought more bags...
