Muscular Dystrophy

I was unable to home the rescue that bit my Mom and the adoption agency initially wanted me to train the Aggression out of the dog and crate it. The dog had already been through training according to them but they care about the dog more than my safety because retraining a dog who has bitten at a level Five is dangerous even for experienced handlers. They sent out several emails asking if anyone would take the dog even supposed pros and no one responded. I am going today to put the dog down for the safety of others because he has completely bonded with me which makes the whole thing harder. I love dogs but i love my Mom even more and she can't live in trauma while the dog is here. I believe some dog owners are more animal than human.😔#MentalHealth #OCD #DegenerativeDiscDisease #MuscularDystrophy #Fibromyalgia

I know some of you know i lost my Black Lab but i have some exciting news i adopted a rescue dog a Dutch Shepherd. He was abused with shock therapy and an owner who dropped him off at a high kill rate shelter in Orange county when the animal barked too much he would turn up the shock voltage. The dog was luckily taken to a foster house and then put up for adoption. I know the pain of life but when someone abuses an animal in this manner my heart breaks so i saved a life and enriched ten fold.#ChronicPain #MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease ###Fibromyalgia #Depression #Disability #Anxiety

Needed some uplifting distractions so I noticed our garden has begun to pop early excuse the pun. California poppies, Lavender Splash (probably last year it's a bit unruly and Tuscan Blue Rosemary with another variety of crawling Rosemary can't remember the name. Just thought I'd share to hopefully brighten someone's day 🙂💙#Anxiety #Depression #RareDisease #MuscularDystrophy #Fibromyalgia #Disability #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #MentalHealth #DegenerativeDiscDisease

He was 6 weeks old when I got him so I was his dad not just an owner and I loved him dearly. My heart is broken the ray of sunshine that saved my soul in so many ways has passed away. We were just going to the vet for a checkup but that morning he was already acting strange panting uncomfortably and on the way there he was foaming at the mouth I had a bad feeling that today he might not make it. When I got to the vet they had to pull him out of my truck on a stretcher and he went inside and I waited until they called me in. The vet said your dog is in major distress and the prognosis isn't good so with a very heavy heart I made the choice to have him put to sleep he was 14 trying out another cancer medication would only hurt the dog.

So I write here to my dog papi loves you Mayak and you were the best companion I've ever had. Now you can play with your brother Moose in Heaven 💙❤️#MentalHealth #MuscleDysfunction #RareDisease #Depression #MuscularDystrophy #DegenerativeDiscDisease

My Garden and patio are blooming early because of a dry January here in the Sierra Mountains of CA. The Geranium, Daffodils, rosemary and Vinca showing colors. Just thought I would share on Valentine's day and all the tulips I just gave to mom because she was feeling blue 💙🙂#MentalHealth #DegenerativeDiscDisease #MuscularDystrophy #ChronicPain #RareDisease #Fibromyalgia #Depression #Anxiety #CervicalRadiculopathy #Hyperalgesia #Disability #Diabetes

Today is my buddy's birthday he is turning 14 and he's going to get a hamburger minus the dressing. This dog has seen me through some rough surgeries and brings me much needed sunshine. It's a bond like no other he loves me unconditionally and I love him the same way. My other dog passed three years ago but the three of us had countless trips to the lake, orthe beautiful mountains that surround us. He makes my day everyday and he now is seeing me through muscular dystrophy late onset so when he gets me out of the house walking around the property I forget my pain.🙂#MentalHealth #MuscularDystrophy #DegenerativeDiscDisease #Fibromyalgia #Disability #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #Depression #Anxiety #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder

Nature never ceases to amaze me and this year we were lucky to have the most colorful patio to enjoy. I do repeat sometimes with my posts but this time I chose the ones that stood out. Mom and I really enjoy this healthy distraction together which makes it even more special. #DegenerativeDiscDisease #ChronicPain #MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease #Fibromyalgia #CervicalRadiculopathy #Diabetes #Disability #Depression
