I took some time off a while ago to deal with some personal stuff. As I've said, it's mostly dealt with, but it doesn't mean it isn't still there.
The dog I've had since I was like 13 started having breathing issues a week or so ago. It got progressively worse though the week. Basically starts hyperventilating until he hacks like he's going to throw up. He could barely get down the stairs on his own without being out of breath.
Took him to the vet tonight and was told basically what I was expecting. Congestive heart failure. Rapid heart beat, missed pulses, crackling in lungs (meaning fluids).
It's basically $3000 (tests, meds, with a high possibility of it not working at all) to delay an inevitability or euthanasia. Just don't think it's fair to let him suffer despite wanting him around. I mean, I knew it getting closer, but it's fucking me up way harder than I expected it to.
Just saying, if I'm a little distant or quiet online for a while, that's probably why. Will probably just bury myself in renders (and alcohol) for a bit. Just wanted to put that out there as I know this update is taking a really long time, but it's not for lack of trying.
