It sounds like you have had too many adjustments to make lately. Losing a pet hurts because it is like losing a precious family member. Work can be a pure pain in the .#%&. I left an okay job four years ago to take a job I thought would be a career advancement. The new job turned into a nightmare so I can understand how you feel. If I were in your shoes I would probably need meds to get thru the crisis. Your dog sounds like a wonderful lifesaver. I am glad the trip to the sushi restaurant lifted your spirits. Sometimes it helps to have a pleasant distraction. My heart and prayers go out to you.
