My dogs are unwell

Both my dogs are somewhat unwell at the moment but especially little Dylan & I’m really worried about how I will cope with them dying as they are getting on a bit now…… also it’s so hard being woken up at night, it’s so bad for BPD/Bipolar sufferers to have bad night after bad night, it’s so hard to get my Cortisol & Adrenaline under control when the dogs wake me in the night. They are almost my entire support system at the same time as being actually really difficult & problematic, mostly due to breed. Though we’ve had some good progress with behaviour of late, not least helped by Conny wearing a harness to make him a bit more manageable & because I’m more confident when we see other people (he can no longer slip his collar, the rogue that he is) it seems to go better. But yes, poorly animals are nearly as stressful, probably are as stressful as having poorly children. 😣
