Big hugs, Scarlet. I've been thinking about you, and I'm really glad you checked in. And are managing. I'm sorry it went so poorly with G. But good on you for realizing he's a poor fit and stepping away. I'm glad J can support you some. And that your H is supporting you. And L, too.

So sorry your dog got so sick, but I'm glad she seems to be doing better. Overnight vet care can be ridiculously expensive--years ago, we had a guinea pig who had to stay overnight, and it was crazy how much it cost (had to get oxygen at one point)--we only learned how expensive afterward and were shocked. So it was good you knew in advance and could make a decision. I hope she makes a complete recovery. Sounds like you're taking great care of her!

The tattoo sounds lovely!

I hope you keep coping and that things get less stressful for you. Check in when you can. We're here for you.
