blame it on the dog

i didn't mean to lie, but i did not fall asleep... i watched some tv, wrote some entries, and now, the dog is scratching licking and chewing himself to the point where ignoring him is neglect... poor thing... and a lot of it is emotional responding to his mom's stress and anxiety and also responding to his aging and confusion... ears failing, eyes fading, muscles weakening, joints aching, it so sad to live with a slowly dying dog... what a drag it is getting on, ya know?...

i paused to lay with him a while and give him comfort... his anxiety and aches make it challenging for him to lay still long, but he is still such a social being and his loneliness due to being left alone for hours during the day and evening shows... we stop by at least once or twice a day to let him go out and pee cuz he hurts and can't hold it as long as he used to some days... so we hug him and lay with him and love him...

but i do need sleep, my head is falling over...

nite nite (for real this time :)
