Death near. Sad time.
I don't know which is better, knowing it's coming or not knowing. Thinking the kidney food Tim went and got her might outlast Wiggy.
Just sucks.
Even with the sadness, it's a nice calming quiet day here at The Manor. We reset the kitchen table on our wonky floor. Then finished painting the extra shelving I built to go under the HUGE table.
In between coats I sit in the snug with my Halloween mug filled with goodness and watch Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge on Discovery Plus. I didn't grow up with Barbie, yet I'm digging the designers recreating different points in time, retro to now, within the Barbie world. Cool stuff. It's the perfect kinda stupid show for where my brain is at today.
Lastly, the rain let up later tonight and I smacked a coat of primer on the shed, after Tim and I attached more wood on the right facing side and back. Next time I do a project like this, I'm saving for a good paint sprayer.
And lastly, lastly, I'm heartsick over Miss Wiggy. Painting helps. I like the quiet. Checked on her a few minutes ago and she's still bright-eyed. It's weird how it comes and goes. For sure gonna miss that little boogerbutt when she's gone.
And that's all that's fit to print.
Huggs & Bugs,
- Me
I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow.

DeleteMy wife and kids introduced me to the Barbie Dreamhouse show yesterday and I spent the day catching up. It is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs the owner of a 16+ year old beagle whose beloved brother passed two years ago, I feel your sadness. Just love her as much as you can in the time she has left. That's what we do.
Best wishes.

Hey Kathy. I agree. I am heartsick. I am sorry to read about Niiita. It's so sad when they all go. I'm concerned about Bug because she adores Wiggy. Not gonna be easy for Miss Buggy.
DeleteHaving just experienced saying goodbye, I feel your sadness and pain. Hugs and prayers for you, my friend. Precious pup.
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo - Oh ugh. Sorry you've just had this happen. Heartsick.
DeleteI'm so sorry! Our pets are part of the family. I know you have loved Wiggy well over the years!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mari. Yes, we really have. She's our first start to finish dog as a married couple. Truly heartsick.
DeleteI am so very sorry. It hurts like hell.
ReplyDeleteIt does. Sorry you recently went through it as well. Heartsick.
DeleteSo sorry
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine.
DeleteI'm crying my heart out for you.
ReplyDeleteI lost my American bulldog in February.
She was an amazing girl.
I'm so sorry for you losing your pup.
They give unconditional love and make our worse days brighter.
Thank you, Savannah. So sorry you lost your pup in February. This is the worst part of having pets. They are such wonderful little Boogerbutts. We are heartsick. Big huggs to you.
DeleteThe circle of life isn't always fun. Give Miss Wiggy hugs and cater to her every whim.
ReplyDelete100 percent true, Kathy. Thank you.
DeleteI don't even know what to say. What can I say? I lost my girl of 10 years, Delilah, about 5 1/2 years ago and I'm still not over it. I love my boy Sketch, now 5, but I think of Delilah every day.
ReplyDeleteWiggy is the most beautiful, amazing girl. I have never met her but I know. I'm a professional dog person after all and can tell. Pet her, hug her, never stop loving her, and burn those memories into your mind. Don't ever forget what she's meant to you.
That's the thing Adam. We don't forget them or the wonderful times. I'm sorry Delilah is gone. Sketch is a great name. Both names are very cool. Wiggy really is. She has an unmatched spirit. She's also a lot like Scooby.
DeleteI am so sorry to read that Wiggy is sick and soon to be gone. Treasure the time you have and thanks for thinking of me and my dear cat. The sadness you write about is very real. Many hugs to all of you,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am also sorry that you lost Lukas. Just heartbreaking. Big huggs to you, from me.
DeleteMiss Wiggy looks like such a sweetheart. Give her an extra smooch from me. And stock up on tissues.
ReplyDeleteThank you, River. Wiggy is a lot like Scooby-Doo - a total goofball and fun to be around.
DeleteSo very sorry to hear about Miss Wiggy. It's never easy losing a furry family member and so hard to see them struggle.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks, Ann. Just sucks. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm heartsick.
DeletePiglet asked...."We'll be friends forever, won't we Pooh?"
ReplyDeletePooh replied...."Even longer..."
Wiggy will Never leave your side...ever.
Lots of love and hugs and smiles coming your way sweet friend!
hugs
Donna
Oh my gosh, Donna. I loved this comment. Made me sad and happy at the same time. Huggs, back.
DeleteSo sad to know you will be loosing your precious Wiggy. I hope the memories you shared will bring you comfort and smiles. Not easy to lose a pet that you loved so much.
ReplyDeleteIt is - I'm heartsick. Thank you for stopping in today.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your pup. It is so hard when we have to say good bye to them. I've been there too many times and it never gets easier.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read that you've been there many times. It makes my heart hurt. Thank for the comment.
DeleteBless Miss Wiggy's heart. When my Slim got to the point of being unable to stand I took her to the vet to be put down. It wasn't easy to stand there with her but I believe she was saying thank you. It haunts me that maybe I let her wait too long because I could not bear to let her go. Just know that there is forever love between you and Miss Wiggy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you let that haunt you. I hope you find a way to let that go and allow yourself peace. Thanks for stopping in today. Very sorry you lost Slim. Huggs.
DeleteIt's so heartbreaking when they die. I'm sad for you. I don't know if it's better to know or not. It hurts no matter how they go.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandra. I don't know which is better either. They both suck.
DeleteI'm sure Wiggy knows how much you love her. Letting go is the hardest part of having pets. Good for you for keeping so productive. I bet your shed is looking good. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Abby.
DeleteSo very sorry to read about Miss Wiggy.
ReplyDeleteJust love the last photograph.
Thinking of you and sending a big hug :)
All the best Jan

Thank you, Jan. I'm heartsick.
DeleteOh gosh, I'm so sorry. Death is never easy, whether expected or not. It's heartbreaking either way. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leigh. I am heartsick.
DeleteI'm very sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are too.
DeleteI am so sorry to hear this - Losing my precious pets are horrible. My dog, a black lab is 10 years old. She's healthy now but I know that one day we'll be facing the same issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby. Thank you. Here to more good years with your black lab.
DeleteI'm so very sorry to hear you are nearing the end of your time with dear Wiggy. Those of us who have had pet family members and had to say goodbye know how hard it is and so deeply sad, those end times when you just want to hold on and turn back the clock. Sending many hopes that when the time comes, the passing is gentle and peaceful and until then your times together are ones to cherish.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie. I'm heartsick. Thank you for the kind comment.
DeleteThis is so hard. They just don't stay long enough.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, I agree with you. Longer would be wonderful.
DeleteI am so very sorry. Having to say goodbye is like a hole in the heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are heartsick. She had an excellent and happy life.
DeleteOh how sad my heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have done a lot of painting. I did a small hall and it was murder I would never make it as a painter
Cathy
Thank you, Cathy. Heartsick. Just heartsick.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear that. That is one of the hardest things to go through.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mary. Thank you.
DeleteThank you for stopping by my Musings blog.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry about Miss Wiggy. I lost my fourth and last fur baby in January, he was my heart, such a blessing in my life. There are no words to help with the loss, and I wish you the grace and strength you need to walk through grief.
Kim
Hi Kim - Thanks. So sorry to read that you lost your fourth and last pup. Ugh. It's the worst part of having them by far. Heartsick is the word, I use. Thank you for the comment.
DeleteThat's so sad
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteShe is so Beautiful. Just love the time you have.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm heartsick.
DeleteOh there are tears in my eyes just reading this. It's sooooo sad when we have to lose family members, even four legged ones. My hearts with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Erika! Thank you for the nice comment and for the tea. Will look for it here. Sounds like my cuppa tea. Yea, it sucks when they go.
DeleteAww, sad to have to say goodbye to our dear fur friends. Miss Wiggy has such a beautiful loving face. I know how much you'll miss her as we've been here quite a few times and know it's just awful.
ReplyDeleteSending ((HUGS))
Mary
Thank you for the kind comment. We miss here a lot. Sorry you've been through it too. They bring so much joy that I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Huggs.
DeleteI understand. Our Ella had a really bad spell around Thanksgiving. We thought it was the end, but the vet worked some magic. This summer has been good, but also heartbreaking. We go for walks, but they are a quarter of what we used to do. We built a ramp and she has grudgingly started using it. We aren't thankful for every day with her. You have my sympathy.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that's heartbreaking. Glad you get a little more time with yours. Wiggy has since passed since writing this post. Love that you built a ramp. Here's to more days with Ella. Such a sweet name, too.
DeleteI feel for you, I have had our pets go both ways, all of a sudden and slowly and we knew it was coming and both ways are just as hard. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBoth ways sound terrible. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your lose, too. Miss Wiggy is now passed. It sucks.
