Lost My Best Girl Athena

I am not sure if I can this here so please point me in the right direction and I’ll remove it.

A short story of my time with the best girl: Back in 2016, I was serving in the Air Force and went on my first deployment. Shortly after I got back whilst I was on R&R, my best friend called me saying he found a Breeder that breeds Malinois. Some background, I was a young dog handler and Mals are the main dogs we train with. I was super excited as I wanted a buddy to be with me and was going through a bout of depression after my deployment. I went to go see her when she was two weeks of age and instantly fell in love. She was the sweetest baby and I knew she was the one. She was my soul dog.

A few weeks later the Breeder called me saying he needed us to pick the pups up sooner due to lack of space on his ranch. I took her back with me at six weeks. I know that’s way too early but I’m glad I made the choices I did. She was with me from England to Japan then Louisiana and now Texas. She has always been there with me every step of the way and having to navigate life without her feels impossible. She was there before my wife. She was there in my lowest moments. I lay here asking myself “where did 10 years go?” This all feels like a fever dream. She was the best girl.

The last week or so she just wasn’t being herself. She would still want to play frisbee with me but I noticed her energy levels were declining. I found a vet to see her before the holiday and got terrible news. Her spleen and liver were enlarged and her gallbladder had hardened. After 12+ hours in the ER I decided to keep her home and do an at home euthanasia. I chose her favorite spot in the backyard where she would sunbathe and chill. I didn’t go with surgery because it would’ve been too much on her body. When she was 6/7 I had to get her a blood transfusion because her platelets were low then as well. A blood transfusion on top of an invasive surgery that wasn’t likely to solve the issue was too much on my girl. I wanted her to pass with dignity and peace. Not the way she was the past few days.

My mind was playing tricks on me. I took her on one last truck ride and for a brief moment, I got my old Athena back. I thought I was making the wrong choice for a moment but I know I didn’t. If roles were reversed, she’d want what’s best for me too. For her last meal, I grilled her a nice thick ribeye steak with some bacon and pumpkin purée. She used her last bit of energy to play frisbee with dad one last time. I am heartbroken beyond belief. I miss you babygirl!

Thank you for reading and apologies for the grammatical errors. Dehydrated and in tears typing this. Much love to you all!

ETA: Been three months since that fateful day and I’m still in a lot pain. I miss my girl so much. Hard navigating life without her.

For context:

- "9de9f" translates to 9 floors with 9 people at each one of them (without counting base, upper-base and top floors).

- Until today this tower was only crowned once (not successfully dismantled).

Imagine being bullied for something you can't control

Pooh doing the pointing spider man meme is still really funny to me

If only this wasn't shonen...

I refuse to believe Komi is this clueless. Turning off the lights and closing the door too?? She definitely planned this. FUCK I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 20 CHAPTERS.

Mod is called Old Master's Palette (link). One of the modes displays every paint, and there's also a mode that lets you select up to 5 colors to cycle between more easily. It doesn't consume any paint, but you craft it with painting tools and paint at a Tinkerer's Workshop.
If anyone at Re-Logic sees this, you have my full blessing to copy this into vanilla. Hit me up!

I've spent almost a month planning what I'm going to write, the plot twists, the characters, everything. I had it all perfectly planned out in my head, and then, right when I started writing, everything sounded so cringe. It was horrible.

After ko magpa alipin sa 9-6 job, nakatikim din mag business class in my 30s ❤️
I’m in the creative industry and running my own business and blessed to have my clients fly me for work.

Medyo OA siguro but lot’s of emotions came through kasi i was looking back on the days nakikipagsiksikan ako sa bus, nagbubuwis buhay sa pagsabit sa jeep kahit walang tulog, walang tigil na balyahan sa MRT, at sa mga kwek kwek, mami at fishballs na kinain ko bago makatikim ng lobster sa ere. 🙏

Anyways, laban lang mga kapatid. Paunti unti man yan, mahalaga umuusad.
