Oh my god. Deep breaths. Today has been such a full and heavy day. After an extremely long day at school , and having to deal with a few people in yearbook not doing their work with our deadline on wednesday, i went to work. I was already exhausted and planning on only working an hour because i have a huge lit test tomorrow which i haven't studied for, and a calc, physio and government test this week, but then my plans changed. I walked into the door and Andrea, my boss told me she had some really bad news. Chinook, their beautiful and strong dog was dying and had to be put down. They just found out today that she has a six inch heart tumor and cancer in her lymphs. Andrea, who is such a animal lover has loved and cared for Chinook for years and years. She is pregnant and found out a few weeks ago that Dave, her husband has to get knee surgery in february right before she has her baby. As you may imagine, it has been really stressful. I really had a connection with Chinook. When i got to work she came up to me and stuck her nose up to my face. I was there supporting Andrea and Dave and it really drained me. Chinook had a stroke or something like that while i was there and it was really scary. They put her down at 6:30 tonight. It all just came on so unexpectedly. I went to my gym class to try and release some of my upset. When i got home, i could hear dave digging Chinooks grave. It was really sad. I'm going to miss her.
