Sorry for the silence. I am still planning to upload my art and be active here, I just had some issues with the site being slow and ended up focusing more on other galleries, then some upsetting life stuff happened.

We euthanized my chocolate lab, Junebug. She had been declining for a while, but it took a turn where she was definitely not comfortable anymore, so we scheduled her euth (she got to eat so much junk food that day!) I was mentally prepared to lose her, it was not the first time I had mourned her (she was very old and had a couple close calls that she ended up somehow making it through), it was just the first time I knew she wouldn't recover.

I was NOT mentally prepared for the night before June's euthanasia. An hour into my overnight shift my sibling texted me and their crested gecko, Gillespie, had a prolapsed cloaca. They took her to the emergency vet and the surgery to repair it went well, so we were pretty sure she would be fine, but then she wouldn't wake up after the surgery and they lost her heartbeat. Ultimately, we lost two of our beloved pets on the same day. I honestly got to the point where I physically couldn't cry anymore.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a little update. I'm doing better now, been helping my sibling work through it since it definitely hit them the hardest, but they've been doing better too. <3
