...because pet death is fucking hard to deal with, even if it probably happened in the best way possible.

So, forcing myself to do my Good Things Lists, because it will give me much-needed structure and help in the dark times.
  1. Making a Flickr Photoset of Rogue pictures, and possibly also some photo books/big pictures for the house/etc. Will eventually scan puppy pictures too.
  2. Chose a memorial dwarf conifer today for him and for our previous dog, Scramble, as well as a small plaque (it says "Asked for so little, gave so much"). (Benefits of dwarf conifers: can be moved if we move house)
  3. Made a little dog shrine on the mantelpiece. Healing/grieving rituals are good.
  4. Baking bread is fun and kneading is therapeutic.
  5. Support network made of WIN. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without y'all.
  6. The colorwork hat I knit for a friend (shown last entry) fit perfectly. Always tricky with colorwork because it alters the gauge. Also he really likes the design and says it's super warm.
  7. Feeling pretty good about my coping skills so far.
  8. Partner is pretty damn amazing.
  9. Good things lists are in and of themselves good things.
  10. Grief is a temporary state, though it is a torment to endure.
