Yeah! I did something right!

My poor dog has to put up with me being a boring (isolation) person and not the best provider. Housing is unstable rn. It's making his dementia worse. We're really struggling. He's all I have and I worry so much about him.

I wish I could post a picture. He's an average size dog, around 50 pounds. The industry focuses on small dogs which make finding things for him a bit difficult. He's not big but beds are so small and the larger ones start at about $80. I would post a picture of him in his new bed. Costco FINALLY changed out the winter dog beds for something not ment to keep the animal warm. This is the desert. Everything needs to have a cooling function not warm and cozy. Throw a blanket on top and you've got warm and cozy. At Costco they only have the big beds. I checked yesterday just because and there they were. The 'seasonal' item I have been waiting for. Fifty bucks. That's it. Half the price of the pet store.

I did it. I got him a new bed that he badly needed. What I needed and had been looking for was finally there. These 'seasonal' products are a constant issue.

That was yesterday and was so fantastic. Today so far has been just awful but he is snoozing in his new orthopedic bed. I did something right.
