"Yesterday, my best friend died. Nugget was only 5, but out of nowhere I found myself holding her sausage of a body, begging the vets to try CPR just one more time and praying through tears to wake from this nightmare.
If you know me, you know that Nugget was my light, my emotional support, the love of my life. She was loved by so many of you and I would give literally anything for her to still be here. But cardiac arrest is a common cause of death in dachshunds and all I can do now is urge you all to take care of your pets, take them to the vet regularly for check ups, and give them all the love you have. Don’t put yourself in the position of utter despair and regret that I’m drowning in now.
On top of a $1000 hospital bill, I was also the victim of $6500 in ATM fraud this past month, for which my bank refuses to refund me. It hurts to have lost so much all at once. As I continue struggling with my paralyzing chronic mental illnesses, I must thank all my clients for their utmost patience. Life is not and has not been easy.
In an effort to recuperate losses (though my loss of Nugget will never ever EVER be made up for) I am offering my photo editing services in exchange for a donation of any monetary. I’m happy to edit photos of all kinds (though if another photographer took your photo, please ask them for permission first), including even your favorite phone snaps. Please reach out if this is something you’re interested in.
Thank you to everyone who has offered their unconditional love and support through these really rough times. I appreciate all of you so deeply. In memory of Nugget, may you all live good lives full of love and cuddles."
