Tyde, catch me up, did you replace Winnie? I haven't noticed a dog in your pics and obv you're a dog guy.
sensitive and painful topic but yea Bags, after Winnie died in Mexico I got Tommy as a pup and he was my buddy for almost 5 years
I got a killer job with American Seafoods making bank on one of their fishing trawlers in Alaska while still in Mexico, and my long time friends in San Diego (Pam and Greg who I worked with in Hawaii 25 years ago) agreed to watch him for me while I was on this contract
well they fell in love with him and wanted to adopt him…they have a beautiful home near Miramar with two teenage kids and kinda wore me down so I finally agreed
I miss Tommy every day and regret it, but truthfully he has a much better home with no shortage of love and attention…I kinda realized working for 4 months on 2 months off was not fair to him and probably super confusing so I let him go
Also re-homed 3 other pups in Ensenada
then I bought this great little purebred golden retriever, but re-homed him about a week later after I realized I was in way over my head living on the 12th floor of a condo in downtown Sacramento trying to raise an 8 week old puppy and working full time
but yes absolutely I do very much miss not having a dog in my life but that may change very soon
