This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Here in this Italy place, they have some wonderful food. Pretty vegetables. Bright fruits. My favorite lately…prosciutto.
But as much as I love prosciutto, some days lately, I don’t even want that to eat. I want to want it. But then maybe I want dog food. It’s not that the quality of dog food is any better than the prosciutto. But what makes my quality of life is being happy. First and foremost.
It’s been harder to be happy lately. I feel like my body is telling me it’s tired. I feel like my body is telling me I need to rest more. Some days my body doesn’t tell me when i need to go to the bathroom in time. We had a long morning and night with many cleanups and tears. The persons kept telling me not to worry. That nothing was my fault. But it still makes you feel bad, ya know?
Quality. I think I’ve had a wonderful life filled with many quality moments. Quality persons. Quality individuals like my Digby brother.
Quality laughs with Fruitycake. Quality trips and places I’ve visited.
But it’s like the Italian food. When something is so good, you don’t have it one day and not want it the next. You look forward to it even more. And that’s how I’ve spent my life.
I look forward to what’s next. Getting here to my house and this Italy place was a dream come true.
But no dream is more important or valued than simply living a quality life with the ones you love. Forever. I wish that was possible.
I am always honest with you. That’s part of my quality personality. And right now, honestly, I’m weak. I’m uncertain. Getting me to my house next week for good is what the persons are trying to do. But truly, I am far more important than a goal. Right now, I need rest. I need my comfy bed and fans I got yesterday. Maybe prosciutto if I want it today.
I don’t know if I am having a little bout of not feeling my best. Or if my quality of life is lessening. And I don’t want that. I have told the persons I trust them to make decisions for me that are only for me. No one else. Girl Person is my soulmate. We’ve been that way since the day we met.
And I know that there is something more to life than what we know and see. I believe there is a god who cares about me and about my persons. I believe that this isn’t the end of being with the ones we love. I feel that. I don’t have the answers. But perhaps the quality gets better. It’s just dealing with the now.
I’ll be resting today. But I want you to have the best day for me. Get some good food. That’s all I ask for today. That’s your assignment. And as someone who has lived every day to the full, I feel qualified to give you that assignment.
We don’t know what the next few days will bring. Maybe I feel better. Maybe I won’t. But I’m here now. And I love you.

Brickle, I feel and see the pain you go thru. Reading this blog today is breaking my heart i’m reading this blog and crying. I can tell you are fighting but you can only fight so long. I have had dogs all my life I know how hard it is to say goodbye, but I don’t believe in letting a fur baby lay around in pain and suffer. You do what is best for you we are all here for you….
Dogs are creatures that uplift our spirits. Thanks for the inspirational share. Keep wel.
