The Art of Letting Go

Letting go is hard, whether you are letting go of a person or a thing. There are a million reasons why people have to let go and I will discuss several reasons here.

Letting Go of A Loved One

Sometimes, just when we think everything is alright and we are so much in love with a person, it hits you smack in the face that the person will suddenly abandon you without any explanation. Other times, you have to let go when you think that the distance separating the two of you by far surpasses the love you have for each other.

There are times when your loved one gets involved in another relationship.  This is pretty much heartbreaking that it will leave someone who is so much in love broken into pieces.

There would be times when a loved one passes away. We cannot help but mourn over our loss and hold on to the wonderful memories which are but what we have left after they’re gone. This kind of letting go takes years to overcome.

Letting Go of A Thing, An Animal or Perhaps A Place

Often times, we find ourselves attached to things we own. Like me, I have my MacBook Pro for 5 years before it crashed. It was my work computer and it has, let’s say, served me well. I still cannot get over the feeling of “it failing me” however, as what one of my clients told me, 5 years is enough as a lifespan of a laptop and I could consider purchasing a new one.

Animals especially dogs are considered as “man’s best friend.” Losing a dog when he passes away is also devastating to the owner. It’s with you every day, always by your side, waiting for you to spend even a few minutes of your time to play with him. I could say that what I am telling you is based on my own experience as we have had shih tzus since 2013. We had this very cute shih tzu named Billy. He always followed me everywhere and accompanied me during my shifts. Then all of a sudden he passed away. I was the last person who was in contact with him during his dying hours. I cried for days and locked myself inside the bathroom. Now, he is being replaced by my new “work buddy”, Sam or Samantha. A shih tzu whose right eye is blind. She is very sweet and knows whenever I have my “moments.”

There are certain places where in we cannot help but ALWAYS reminisce great times we had there with someone. We would often recall how it was like then and sometimes look forward to spending some time in that place again with that person. Then there comes the “What Ifs”. However, we have to remember that we have to move forward and think that maybe, just maybe, it really wasn’t meant to be.

Here’s a quote from Steve Maraboli, “The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

Therefore, you have to learn to REALLY let go and move forward… KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Sudden Sparks - 2

@willkatfanfromasia and I are back with the new chapter to our modern KunxVT series... happy reading 💖

This is getting more difficult by the minute, she huffed. Kriti was trying hard- very hard,mind you!- to look only into the laptop screen as Vaishakh was entertaining her niece with a game of scrabble. 

Seems convenient enough, if not for two things 

Her niece popping up with enthusiastic questions

Vaishakh looking at her from the corner of his eyes

"Mama! What about Pandemic? Will it fit? " 

Kriti couldn't help but smirk, her niece was a chip off the old block. 

"Ayo! I didn't know that word till i was 12…Besides it's 8, we need 9 letters!"

This was enough trigger for the vivacious Kriti jr. 

"Athaiii, help me!!! Oh no wait" 

"Pancake? No!"

"Premier? Pendant? Nooo"

Her niece had apparently inherited not just her intelligence but also her stubbornness in solving problems alone. 

Vaishakh opened his mouth, eager to put the child out her misery but the sight of her aunt's narrowed eyes silenced him

"Let her be, she'll figure it out" the eyes signalled. 

And what eyes they were!

 "Got it! Pachyderm" the little girl yelled pulling him out of his reverie 

She had a smile plastered on her face as she arranged the letters on board. " You never fail to amaze me! How'd you hear about it?" He asked the jubilant child

" Simple,uncle Arun supports a charity that cares for rescue elephants. So I remembered him saying that"  

This kid was truly something else! Aditya and Nandini raved about how intimidating their daughter would be if she's anything like her aunt…I think I might find out soon, he mused.

The game demanded a 5 letter word starting with M. 

"Marry" he decided subconsciously.. not expecting a barrage of questions. 

"Marry? As in marriage? Like how uncle Arun says he'll marry aunt Vinita" 

"Er.. yes"

"Like how those grandmas at the parties we attend keep asking athai when she'll marry" 

Interesting tidbit,he grinned, as he saw a blush spread down Kriti sr's neck. 

Kriti knew her niece's fondness for mischief rivalled her mother's. Her niece knew the word, even if she doesn't understand the concept.

"You know what the word means, sweetheart, that's enough" said the soft but firm voice. Kriti jr turned away from her playmate to shoot her aunt a cheeky smile.

Before she could open her mouth again, Kriti pointed at the side table "I have an old PlayStation kept there. Haven't used it in ages but feel free to dust it and explore" 

Vaishakh, already boyish, turned even more youthful in that moment as he shared her niece's curiosity.

She'd pay to see that face everyday… wait, where did that come from?

They gleefully unwrapped the device, intermittently coughing as they dusted it off. 

All the living room plug points were occupied, so they followed Kriti's instruction and headed to the guest room.

She felt a vague sense of doubt as she saw them go. "There's something wrong with the guest room…but what was the problem? Shit! Looking at numbers all day has addled my brain"

Just as she perused her memories to figure it out…

The house was engulfed in pitch darkness

"Oh…shi…shih-tzu" exclaimed the male voice

Charming even now, she snickered.

 Kriti breathed through the initial shock and reached for her phone. She realised she left it to charge in her bedroom and smacked her head.  Her niece's 'spooky' howling was only encouraged by the big kid next to her. The dual tones of wolf mimicry only cemented Kriti's migraine.

'This will have to do' she exhaled turned her laptop screen towards the room. She spotted a torch in a shelf beneath the TV. She walked carefully and picked it up. 

The howls had died down and only faint yelps could be heard. 

Curious,she switched it on, pointing it towards the guest room. 

Lo and behold! She saw the two 'wolves' tamed by a bar of chocolate.

Turns out her co-babysitter is not just a pretty airhead.

The assurance of their safety only itched her need to tell them off

"Breathe kriti. It's not their fault remember" she thought as she breathed slowly.

The guest room circuit had tripped once before. She'd been putting off replacing it due to her never-ending schedule of business meetings and deadlines. 

In fact, it was the latest 'deadline' that distracted her from warning her guests. 

The 2 "wolves" looked sheepish, hoping she wouldn't tell them off for the short-circuit or eating chocolate on her bed. Kriti harrumphed " if you can't beat them, then join them" and bounced on the mattress- swiftly stealing a molten square from their hands.

"So..." Vaisakh said, licking his fingers off the chocolate "I think the power went out when we switched on the light. Maybe it must be a short circuit?"

"The wire had been faulty" Kriti sr replied, popping another chunk of chocolate into her mouth, "I've been meaning to get it fixed"

"You mean the great perfectionist Kriti forgot to do a task?" Vaisakh fixed her with a teasing look "You're clumsy"

That struck a nerve because Kriti was so proud of her organisational skills and getting things done on time. "I wasn't being clumsy, I was busy. There's a huge difference between the two - maybe you'd understand if you stop being so childish " She retorted and saw the smile vanish from Vaisakh's lips.

"You don't know me so don't just assume" He said in a serious tone

"Right back at you" Kriti strike back, neither noticing Kriti jr glancing between them with a frown.

She let out a small whimper and both adults looked in her direction.. Kriti felt bad on seeing her niece so upset.

"Okay, this useless banter is not helping our situation" She said, looking back at Vaisakh "And how can we conclude this was just the short circuit? It could also be a general power cut "

Vaishakh nodded "Let's go ask next door". They washed their hands and knocked on the opposite door.

Mrs.Venkatesh opened the door with her usual friendly smile and regarded the visitors with curiosity "Yes, Kriti dear. Is there any problem?"

"I'm so sorry to disturb you but our lights just went out and I was wondering if it was a power cut"

Mrs. Venkatesh glanced back at her brilliantly lit living room "Well, I don't think so. Must be a short circuit". Kriti hummed, trying not to look at Vaisakh and give him the satisfaction of proving her wrong.

"Would you like to come in?" Mrs. Venkatesh stole a glance at Vaisakh "And don't forget to introduce your boyfriend to me" she half whispered to Kriti who turned red at the implication. "No we're fine and " She pointed towards the boy next to her "and he's not my boyfriend "

"That's what they always say" Mrs. Venkatesh commented before waving them goodbye and closing the door.

Kriti glared at a smirking Vaisakh "Stop laughing. It wasn't that funny"

"It was a little funny" He said, now smirk turning into a grin

"Whatever, grab jr. Let's get inside. I'll call maintenance " She ordered and noted his puzzled expression "I thought she was with you" He said slowly

"No, I thought she was with you"

They looked around at the empty corridor and their opened door. Kriti felt like she was going to be sick.

Her niece was missing!

[alollinglaughingcat]

i have so many kittens rn its silly so i made a gallery of some (some!) of my cats' ages XD

Frito is a bottlefed kitten I just picked up today, alongside their three siblings, Cheeto, Dorito, and Lay. They're 3 weeks old

Maya is a stray kitten my mom found outside three days ago, and she's a bit older than a month old, around 5-6 weeks old

Checkers is my long-term foster kitten, whom I've had since she was 2 months old, and she's now 8 months old about. I also fostered her sister, California, for a month. Checkers had a bad reaction to fluids (or the needle was contaminated) that caused her skin to split open, and she's got a few months left of healing to go!

Mac n Cheese is my wobbly syndrome cat, whom I've had since she was 6 weeks old and I swore was still under a year but she's actually a month over at 1 year, 1 month! :O time flies!!! my baby's so fat now!

Gizmo, not pictured, is another cat I have, who's about 2 years and a half now. Very smart and knows sit, high five, and spin! :) My mom also found him as a stray, same age as Maya, and he gave all my cats (and me) ringworm lmao

Princington and Battle Axel were two cats I also had who are now deceased and they were the same age, only about a week apart, and would both be 3 and a half years by now (Prince died at 1 year, Axel at ~2)

Tweetie aka Sweetie aka Angel is a cat I've had since childhood, so I can't remember her exact age. She was born on my grandma's farm, and we took her and Tommy aka Mustard (now deceased) when they were weaned off their mom, so about the 5-6 week mark

Sheldon is another cat I have, big fatto, and my mom fostered him since he was a bottle baby and kept him because he had anger issues and she feared no one would take him and he'd get euth'ed. He's about 9-11 years, I'm not sure of when he came into the picture even though I remember him as a kitten

Shadow is our old boy, somewhere in the 14-16 year old range. His ears are all fucked cause he got something like a hematoma in them and blood burst. He's a good boy but hell at the vet, so since the ears aren't lethal/painful, we didn't do much past give him meds for infection and clean his ears. He has a sister named Macaroni who is very chill and does not look as old as Shadow does lol

Also had a cat named Princess and another named Misty before them, but only faded memories :)

I had hamsters (Digger, Gumball) and guinea pigs (Marvin, Sweetflower) previously as well, had a rabbit (Cookie Dough aka NumNum) briefly, and currently have one some-months old hamster named Buster who loves biting people, and two gerbils, Gemini aged 1 year and Mama Virgo a few months older. Gemini had a sister named Libra that previously mentioned California ate. My mom also has ducks, chickens, and guineas

and not to mention our dogs! Shaggy is like a 4 months old sheep-a-doodle, then Adrian the mini pom is like 10 years old, Rocky the Shih Tzu is 12-14 years old, and Sonny the mutt is pushing 19 years old! We previously had a pom named Destiny who died at like 15 and PP aka Penelope the German Shephard mix who died young at 10 years old because of arthritis/other conditions

its going to be so strange going from so many animals to 2-3 cats, 3 critters when i move for college lol

I have an emergency request if that's okay, I lost my dog last month. He was a 17 year old shih tzu named Chestnut, he was my best friend and soul mate.

My request is could I get Kyojuro Rengoku and Tengen Uzui to comfort reader (me) through the grief of losing a dog please?

▸ ANSWERING. i’m sorry about your loss, i’m sending you a big hug <3 ps. i kept reader gender neutral to be more inclusive, i hope that’s okay

▸ FANDOM. kimetsu no yaiba

▸ CHARACTERS. kyojuro rengoku x gn!reader, tengen uzui x gn!reader

▸ RATING. sfw

▸ WARNINGS. modern au! crying, mention of death, i don’t know what i did i just know that i was crying while writing it so i apologise if it seems just some work full of bullshit, not proofread

KYOJURO RENGOKU

when kyojuro heard the news about your dog he was quick to come to your apartment. he knew how special he was to you and you spent the majority of your life with the dog.

he never had a pet, so he can’t say he knows what you’re going through, but he’ll make sure to be there for you. he came with a bag full of junk food and offered to cuddle with you, noting your state. it’s from this point that you find kyojuro trying his best to comfort you, careful saying every single word.

“i never had a dog, nor a pet in general… but i see from the way you’re reacting that he meant so so much for you. i know this is hard, if i could i would give you another day to spend with him, but unfortunately, i can’t. i do know something though: you made him feel loved, you gave him a home, you took care of him and was by his side to play and all that. but see this from this point of view: he was sent to you during this period of your life because he was meant to. he was there for you, i know he was ready to comfort you when you were having a bad day, he was always happy to see you come back home, he was your realest best friend. you needed him during those years and he was there, but know you’re ready to go on your own, and it was time to say goodbye. he had a purpose and if he’s gone now that means he fulfilled it. you took care of each others and now he’s out there taking care of someone else, someone who needs him. and you know what? he’s gonna be the best buddy because he’ll never forget what he learned from you and the memories you two shared during the years. i’m sure he wants to see you smile and look back with nothing but love, because… he came to give you all the love you deserved.”

TENGEN UZUI

tengen held you while you were shaking and crying, letting it all out. he didn’t let go because he feared you were about to break in pieces. he got to spend a lot of time with your dog too and he knew he was a real special buddy, an amazing dog really.

after a few days, filled with him trying his best to cheering you up, he took you to bed and proposed watching a movie. you weren’t paying that much attention, so he turned down the volume a bit and started hugging you, caressing your back.

“i’m really bad when it comes to something like this, but i wanna try because you hate seeing the person i love like this,” he started, then took a deep breath. “i think dogs are sent from heaven. they’re pure, full of joy and love. they come down here and start looking for a person who needs them… they light up people’s lives, let’s be honest. he found you and chose that you needed him. he spent the past years by your side, accompanied you through your ups and downs, played with you, comforted you, loved you and received it back. but then, he said yeah, they’re ready to walk on their own and had to go, but his love will still be there, he won’t be truly gone. you know why? because now he’s in your heart, and you’re in his… wherever he is now. maybe he’s still out there, ready to love someone else, but dogs don’t forget anyone. they love unconditionally and you were and will always be special in his heart, okay? i just know it. i know it’s true.”

he’s silently crying while telling you all this and hugs you even tighter if possible, but his words are full of love and he strongly believes in them, and hope you do too.

▸ BEFORE LEAVING. reblog and comments are super appreciated. i hope nothing seemed too harsh or rude. years ago i watched a movie that changed my vision about dogs’ lives and i want to believe that they truly come and go because they have to love everyone, staying by their side in a certain period of their life. their souls are immortals in my opinion. [that’s deepest than i thought lol, but really i’m gonna continue my crying session, bye]

If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? My best friend of almost 10 years who I haven’t seen in a while.

And finally, share a happy memory with me: For someone who’s been rawdogging life with untreated PPD, I don’t think a lot about the happy moments in my life (and don’t get me wrong, I’ve had so many), but seeing my kid hit developmental milestones has been the best for me. His current one was riding a bike without training wheels and seeing him so excited and proud of himself brought me a lot of joy.

Dog Signal Episode 15 Review - The Old Man And The Old Dog

Gosh, this was so emotional. I was legit crying. It sucks knowing that your dog is aging and you can’t do anything about it. I shedded some tears because both of my dogs are aging too; they’re both turning thirteen this year and one of them has a hard time walking these days due to aging joints. They both have cataracts, meaning they’ll go blind as time passes. I understand the emotions and pain Mr. Oyamada is going through when knowing the harsh reality.

I feel bad for Oyamada. He got divorced after he got retired and he’s left to care for himself and his dog Ribbon now. He relied on his wife constantly for housework and other household duties that when she left him, he had a hard time taking care of himself. Is it common to get a divorce after retirement? Also, his memory isn’t the greatest now that he’s getting older. He had forgotten Ribbon’s age and always believed her to be 10 years old, but then he remembered that her tenth birthday was celebrated two years ago. It sucks that his memories aren’t stable and that Ribbon’s condition is starting to worsen as she cannot heed commands as well as she did before and her joints have become all achey.

This is the first time Niwa cannot solve a canine-related problem. While he does worry about Oyamada and Ribbon, there’s ultimately nothing he can do but give guidance. I actually like this. Niwa may be knowledgeable about dogs, but aging is something he cannot fix. Ourson is eight years old and he’s doing his best every day to make Ourson’s life meaningful with the remaining life he has left. I do like that the one who “fixes” the problem is actually Dr. Kubo. While he hasn’t cured Ribbon or made her heart condition go away, he does all he can do help Oyamada prolong her life so that she can live her remaining life to her fullest.

It was nice seeing the transition from Oyamada being clumsy and ignorant of Ribbon’s condition to now being very attentive towards her and even apologizing to his ex-wife for all he had done in the past. You just can’t help but want to pray for Ribbon to live a longer life.

Just hearing about Ribbon having heart condition made me feel emotional because before I adopted my two current dogs, I had another dog, a Shih-tzu named Cherry, who died to heart issues—he was only two at the time. Just knowing that dogs’ heart weaken over time and that they can just keel over at any second makes me wish that my dogs can live just a bit longer too. I legit hugged my dogs after I finished watching this episode because it’s what they deserve. They’re turning thirteen in May—I’ve had them for almost nine years. Fortunately, during their vet appointment a few months back, the vet that examined my dogs said that both of them are healthy for their ages, so hopefully this means that they can live a bit longer. The passage of time is definitely a dog’s worst enemy. What are your thoughts on the episode?

[daisylu-rocketdog-blog]

I'm creating this blog to memorialize my late childhood dog, Daisy Lu. She was the most wonderful, smart, adorable dog. She had so much personality and many funny faces that always made us laugh. Her best features include her brown spots and a single snaggle tooth. My parents had to make the choice to let her go this past Tuesday, May the 30th. She was put to sleep peacefully by a nice veterinarian that evening among my parents and I in her favorite front porch spot.

Breed: Jack Russell/Shih Tzu mix

Nicknames: Rocket Dog, Lazy Du, Chicken Dog, Deezy (me saying her name in a baby voice lol), Donut Dog

Birth date: September 5th, 2006

Passing date: May 30th, 2023

I'm also creating this blog to help cope with my intense grief and maybe find a community of people going through the same thing.

I've had Miss Daisy since I was 9 years old. I'm 25 now, so she's been with us most of my life. Almost 17 whole years. It's hard to imagine she ever wouldn't be here with us. My parents gave her the best life a little doggie could have. She had plenty of room to run in the yard, doggie siblings to play with, treats, love, cuddles & kisses, and proper care and grooming, even if she looked a mess a lot.

We called her "Rocket Dog" because of her crazy speed when she had the zoomies. She would run in big circles around the house or trees in the yard, growling like she was chasing after something, but I think she was just having so much fun she had to vocalize.

Here I will post funny memories, details about her life, and adorable pictures of my sweet baby dog. Thank you for reading if you made it all the way to the end.

What do you know about dogs, and how do you feel about different dog breeds?

They are the single-most valuable living creatures on the planet, I think. It's just hard to get away from the fact that they're sort of like cats crossed with dogs. They're fun, but there's nothing especially interesting about the animal itself, as far as I can tell.

My only experiences with dogs were that I was a dog walker for two years in college -- I'd give people directions, walk their dogs, etc. and it was... mostly an OK time. I had to spend a lot of time talking people through how to keep their dogs from chasing cars or other people's dogs, how to get their dogs to heel when the sidewalk was wet, etc. which was great for me in that it made me feel like I had "something" (a job, even) and a bunch of these people would later become best friends of mine, and one of them would get a dog tattoo of mine, I think, and I liked that a lot

I also did not really have strong opinions about dogs. They're nice. When I was a kid, I always thought it would be cool to have a little poodle. A couple of years ago my grandmother got a shih tzu puppy named Tally that my father called a "poodle in a dog suit." My grandmother thought it was an even better idea, so in that sense I don't think I'm weird in a "this is the single most interesting animal to me" way

I used to keep a lot of pet rats, but I found that very hard. In part because they seemed really boring to me even at the time, even though everyone I'd talk to about them would agree they were very cute. I think I found them too much like toys -- much more fun to pet them than play with them.

I have a lot of (negative) memories of dogs. I was attacked by a German shepherd when I was 14, had a dog try to steal my phone in a parking lot at a high school when I was 15 or so, had some other experiences that I'd rather forget. I liked dogs as a kid but I think I came to feel that their existence is too important -- they are important as a means to other ends, and I can appreciate that without getting drawn in, I guess.

Dear Skippy

I have never asked for prayers before especially from someone I’ve never met. I’m struggling. Truly struggling. My Dad will be gone 1 yr on Aug 16. It was THE worst day of my life. I lost my Mom when I was 4 and my Dad married a narcissist. You can imagine what it was like. Luckily I went to boarding school then college. I never had to live with her again. That didn’t stop the abuse. I won’t bore with all of her wrong doings but my Dad got dementia. 2yrs before he passed she got mad at me. She kept me from seeing him and blocked my phone calls. This went on until the day he died. I was very close to my Dad in spite of his wife( Merry Widow). She mocked me for crying and told me that he hated me. It may be possible. I’m sure she told him all kind of lies. In his condition it’s possible he believed her. I don’t know but it’s very difficult. We weren’t able to have children so we have dogs. 3 ShihTzu. My oldest has bladder cancer which is not curable. He’s been receiving chemo but he had a bad reaction the other day. I’m at a lose of how to handle it all. I’m so lost. I take meds for general anxiety and depression but I feel as if they aren’t working. I would very much appreciate a prayer from you. I believe that you carry more weight in Heaven than I do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending love Terri.

Hi Terri! I am so sorry to hear you are going through so much. I do understand how carrying so much, is so overwhelming. You said said you and your father were close, then trust his heart knew your love for one another. He left this world, with your love. The Merry Widow could never have taken that away. Even dementia can’t take away love in one’s heart. I’m sorry about your pup. I too have three shih-tzu. I lost my Baxter (from first group of three)…to cancer. A very good friend, knew it would be so hard for me….so she told me, as it got closer to the end….to take his last day, and make it wonderful. Sit outside with him, brush him, give him his favourite treat (potatoe chips), let him eat as many as he wants. Cuddle him and let him feel how much love I had for him. I did all that, and my last memory of him is wonderful, makes my heart smile. I don’t associate the sadness, but the wonderful day we had. It might help you, deal with your pain. Plan a wonderful day.

How do you handle all this, right now? One moment at a time. Don’t look at tomorrow. Give all your pain to God. He will comfort you. Although your dad took all the love you had for him with him…sit down and write him a letter. Tell him all about how much you loved him. When you are done….dispose of it. He will read it as you write it. That is more for you…then him, as he already knows.

I certainly do NOT carry more weight than you in Heaven. God loves us all equally. When you come here for prayers, you get the attention from pray warriors around the world. It’s the Power of Prayers! The more that pray together, the less waiting time, is how I see it. All our prayers are important. You don’t have to know someone for them to pray for you. I don’t know anyone here that I pray for…I don’t need to….God knows who I am talking about.

You will get through this. I know you will. I am here whenever you need me. If you need to talk about your pup, I am here. I pray for God to give you peace and comfort, and may you feel his loving presence. God Bless you. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
