I flung a few today, first time in 2+ weeks.
Sasha (our Border Collie) has been sick, then mostly paralized in the back legs, and then we had to put her down. 14-years is a good run for larger dog, but still. I sobbed for the first time since my Dad passed.
She was my constant hip buddy companion. She often slept on the floor on my side of the bed. Until she got sick, if I went outside, she went outside. When I'd take a bow down off the wall she'd get up and be ready for us to go out. I'd shoot and she'd hang close till she got bored, but was never far off. When I'd cut the grass she'd run around and bark at the mower and tried to heard it. I loved that dog.
Well, like I said, I shot a few. Maybe 8-shots. But the joy is not there. Nothing is fun right now. The loss will have to wear down a bit first.
