Carbón, hope your ML is soon feeling a little more buená.
GGJ and I are not at all sure that we got our Veryvery limited Spanish right there, but we are sending love and :hug: :hug::hug: to you both.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so darn dramatic, I just wanted to kind of disppear for a bit. Which I guess is actually better done if you don't have your dog alter-ego ANNOUNCE it. OK, NOW I can actually see how silly that was. When I'm in a black hole, logic is not my strong suit.

Nothing bad has happened, but my brain kind of went snap like an old rubber band. No idea why it chose now to do it, and not really sure how to fix it. However it's my wonky brain, so that means I could get up tomorrow with a spring in my step and feeling everything is just peachy.

I'm concerned about Carbon - it's not fair on him to live with someone who suddenly becomes someone else, or at least that must be how it looks to him. We had a lovely day on Saturday at the beach, watching him swim, talking to nice people...and Sunday I was...well, "non-functional" would be the most accurate word.

I want Carbon's thread - and his life - to be a happy place where the worst thing is a missed breakfast, not where I bring everyone down. But I did want to answer the kind posts and good wishes you've sent so that no one would worry.
 
Please try not to worry about Carbon , ( easier said than done I know ) . He adores you , you took him from an uncertain future to a good life and ok, so its not always smooth running but I`m sure he does not care one jot . I do understand , I worry that Reuben is suffering for lack of long walks but the actuality is that he isnt suffering at all , its me thinking he is . Bad days are horrible for you, but you also have wonderful days as you said . We care deeply , be kind to yourself for a little while xxx
 
That sounds really hard and I hope it does pass quickly. Carbon will be just fine - I think our dogs are much more adaptable than we give them credit for, and if he had a busy and active day on Saturday then a quiet day or two is nothing at all to worry about. (Kate has just posted her message so I am repeating but will post this anyway and reinforce the message not to worry about him and to be as kind to yourself as you would be to him)
 
:hug: Thanks for the update. Sonia may be right that it’s that time of year. We’ve also had so much to cope with over the past year, with no real sense of when things will improve, so it does seem a bit of a struggle sometimes.

I'm concerned about Carbon
Of course you will think that, but don’t worry about him. He loves being with you and it really doesn’t matter that you aren’t perhaps giving him the time that you usually do. You’re there with him, that’s what matters.

It’s tempting to think that we must do certain things with our dogs every day, but mine aren’t having walks at the moment because I can’t hold their leads securely. They’ve adapted to a different routine and seem happy. :hug:
