i lived

3 years ago I was told: “she won’t make the 12 years”
last year at the veterinarian: “there is not much left and she walks pretty bad, I wouldn’t hope for much more”
2025: “I’m alive, bitches!”

a little bit of context. in the last 3 years, we had to:

  • change her food 7 times to stop weight loss and diarrhoea
  • accidentally figure out that she is sensitive to rice
  • give daily medication against inflammation and joint pain
  • antibiotics treatment for something that lived in her bladder and caused her massive discomfort (being a husky she would never indicate that she has problems)

she’s just hardcore and I love her

Dexter the thinker

There are times when I’m just happy that Dexter exists because he’s almost 4 years old and still behaves like a young dog, full of energy.

Unlike Grace, the quiet empress in the background that only acts when it’s necessary.

but sometimes he just surprises me when he seems to be immersed in really deep thoughts

I wonder what is out there

And recently he sat at the dog beach and it just reminded me of one of those scenes in Ghost of Tsushima, where the protagonist has to take a break, take it all and write a haiku based on his emotions.

I wonder what goes on inside his brain

A friend of mine gifted him a little friend yesterday. This was the first drive in the car where he didn’t try to crawl in the front and sit next to me.

The friend has not been seen without him (except for dinner, he didn’t invite him for food!)

living together

I was asked if Dexter can move in with us.. and considering how much he loves Grace.. I said yes. It’s been almost 4 months since Lucky passed away and Grace definitely misses a second dog <3
so.. the pack will be complete again.. he just has to learn to live with the cats.

He seems a worthy successor of Lucky
