Happy Halloween 👋🏻🎃
I felt I needed to update everyone on why my posts have recently been less ‘work related’ and more ‘Wilson’ related.
I’m not going to lye, I am struggling to manage everything atm, I can’t take my eyes off Wilson. I don’t sleep (I worry every-time he moves and his medication acts as a diuretic/ makes him thirsty so he has to go outside multiple times in the night), my body is screaming at me daily, I have even had paramedics called out by 111 to check me over and numerous dr appointments for several illnesses, my training has taken a huge backseat for a while (which has had a massive impact on my mental health) and I have not been anywhere near as available for work and my social life has been massively impacted.
Unless W has someone watching him pretty much 24/7 I worry he will have a seizure or will hurt himself in some way.
We are constantly at the vets for check ups, blood tests and advice on how to manage his condition.
BUT,
He is not just a dog, he is my absolute world and I am trying my best to give him a good and meaningful life while we sort his medication out and while I try to look after myself and keep my business afloat.
As shown in the picture, he needed his calming vest on this morning to prevent him standing up or wandering around the house because he just crashes into things and potentially hurts himself while I’m working. More recently I have had to help him into the garden because he can’t use his back legs or might fall down the steps.
Despite all this…
We will still go on our daily walks, albeit it slower and shorter ones, if we have to take breaks, if I have to carry him or get him a wagon I will, because be dammed if we are going to just stay home and waste our days.
There’s a big world out there to enjoy and I want him to see as much of it as possible.
With all this going on, I really do appreciate those who continue to support me and my small business.
It’s not easy doing all this on my own on a daily basis, I am tired most days, but I am determined to still give all my clients110% in every treatment I offer.
Thank you.
