Granny's gone and done it again

[prostar]

Im so very sorry for your loss Pro. Im happy you were able to walk away. My heart breaks for you. If you need to talk Im here for you. You know this..

I do know this granny. Hugs to you, I’m just still feeling shock, I can’t believe mein stonk is gone.

This morning is really hard for me. Jesse is still blessedly sleeping - neither of us slept last night, but still got traveling to do, and it’s hard on him too. He has so much guilt, even though it was an accident, it was a total s$&@ happens thing. I don’t blame him. He wasn’t driving like a crazy fool or anything - it just happened…so I’m awake by myself which is usually me and goose’s snuggle time…and my mind keeps going back to it.

At least with peach I knew it was coming. I was prepared for it. Well, as prepared for it as I could be…

It’s going to suck for a while and I’m going to be an emotional freaking mess for a while too. Tonight I’ll be home and tomorrow I’ll have to deal with the real world. I don’t think I can go back to work just yet though. I’ll do what I need to do remote this week. I don’t think I’m strong enough to hold it together like that.

My work knows this happened though and they’re being pretty understanding. I’m sure there are already pics of the aftermath circling social media - neither Jesse nor I have posted any accident pics but plenty of people have seen the truck, took part in the recovery and heck probably even spotted it on the road heading back from Tahoe.

The crew we were meeting up with on the trail - we had a breakdown going to meet them at the trailhead on Friday so we missed the first day of wheeling - our plan was to meet up with them Saturday on the trail or at their camp point - stopped by goose’s grave and told us they placed stones and flowers. They have pics of that but we weren’t ready to see that yet yesterday. I’ll share them when I do. We didn’t have anything but a few sticks to mark him when we buried him. The trail actually has a “graveyard” - close to the base of the hill that got us. It’s in the trees, near a creek.
It’s killing me that he’s so far away but there weren’t any other options.

I found chicken diapers on Walmart's website. I'm sure it we buy one that my crafty wife with a sewing machine can make plenty more. These are washable and really look cute but I'm sure my pet won't like them at all.

Check on Etsy also.

I know some of you guys know through Facebook, it’s just been so hard for me to make this post.

We had an accident on the trail on Saturday. We rolled…and then rolled about 100 ft down Cadillac hill on the rubicon. Jesse and I were able to walk away with bruises. I don’t know how. If Jesse hadn’t built that truck as well as he did…it would be a different story. Goose didn’t make it. It was quick for him at least, I don’t think I could live with myself if it wasn’t.

My heart and soul…I just feel so broken right now. I didn’t want to do this trip to begin with, too broke, work was too busy, I was worried about how goose would do in the truck…(he was actually riding like a champ until this happened) but I didn’t feel like I had any friends I could trust with him.

I don’t know how much I’m going to be able to handle peopleing for a while…so if I go silent just know I love y’all. And give your fur babies some extra belly rubs from me.

This is so sad. I'm sorry, Pro. Just glad you and your husband are safe at least. We will always remember Goose along with you.

So sorry for your loss. He was a good dog.

Sounds like you found a beautiful resting spot for him.
Im sure your in shock. You maybe can call your dr and ask for something?
You shared your love of Goose to so many. I will miss him too.

I was under orders by the trail medic to see my doc when I got back. Truthfully they were on the fence about not getting me to the hospital when it happens cause my heart rate was just super crazy high. He was also worried with my asthma in case asthma sounds were hiding other trauma (though asthma hasn’t changed so I don’t think that’s the case)

and have you called yet? I know your not home but you can get an appt.

It's warming up and now I'm home alone so no outdoor work for a few hours anyway. I've got a big pitcher of tea to nurse until me wife makes it home for her docs appointment. She's got a follow up today at the Cardiologist that we really like. He is exceptionally good. He has a bedside manner than is rare these days in the hurry, hurry , got more patients to see environment all docs struggle with.

I’ll go online and set that up soon. Doubt I’ll be able to see my doc that soon though my gut is telling me it’s going to be a go to urgent care and wait a few hours kind of thing.
