Checking in for September 2023

[mytil]

"Checking in" is a topic that we start on the first of each month. We suspect that we have a good number of members who read the messages regularly but who don't post very often. Maybe that's because their dogs are doing well, or they don't have a Cushing's dog anymore, or they haven't got any questions to ask, or maybe they don't feel very comfortable about posting answers to other members' questions. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for folks to only post once in a while, but when we don't hear from people, many of us find ourselves wondering what those folks have been up to recently and how their dogs are doing.

It's always preferable to post updates about your Cushing's dog in your own thread/topic (especially if you want feedback/replies from other members) but you can also post a quick reply here if you just want to say hi and let everyone know how you are doing in general.

We'd love to hear from you!

Checking in for September.
Yesterday, Sept.1st was Ginger's birthday, her 3rd in Heaven. It was a hard day, but I come to accept that. She was my everything.. and I miss everything about her. The regrets, second guessings always are stronger on those special days. ( I hate to call them anniversaries as they are not celebrations). I think our hearts are like jigsaw puzzles, each piece different and when a piece is gone, nothing ever fits quite right. The one plus of that is knowing that that one place, one piece, is reserved for them and only them. My husband continues to heal.. this has taken a toll on him and is slow bouncing back. But we will celebrate each step forward!
Blessings to all, Colleen
