If you’re a fan of my doggo pics or have always wanted to support my small business but didn’t know how, you can pop over to this link and do just that!
Friends I am SO nervous about getting my vaccine. Appointment is booked for the end of June and I’m already stressing.
Those of you who have already gotten it, tell me your experience/side effects.
Things that hurt:
Putting her kennel away.
Washing her blankets and putting them away.
Putting her food scoop away.
Putting her food bowl away.
Putting her pills away.
All for the last time.
Ready for my interview with Here And Now about the plan to integrate mental health emergencies into HSC emergency room.
Tune in tonight to check it out!
Some folks on here probably think I’m nuts or over dramatic about losing Pepsi, but the truth is she saved my life so many times.
We moved together 8 times.
She was there when I bought my first house and we did a photo shoot in the living room.
My first night without her and all I could think was:
Afraid to go to sleep,
Afraid to wake tomorrow
Because today you were here
And tomorrow there’s only sorrow.
Today I felt your warmth,
Wet kisses on my face
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
Leaving only empty space
Honestly, people shit posting about Dr Haggie having COVID need to grow up. We’re in a shit storm where literally anyone could have it and transmit it, even without knowing. Shaming him or anyone else for getting it is pointless.
I wish people would stop using the word “triggered” as a joke. Because I have PTSD and I have serious triggers. And I feel so weird saying I’m triggered by something because it’s such a joke.
Literally begging for people to stop using it as a joke.
I dunno who needs to hear this but… anyone who is selling crossbred puppies (doodles are crossbreeds, sry) and are saying they’re hypoallergenic and non shedding are 👏 LYING 👏 TO 👏 YOU 👏
You simply cannot guarantee traits like that in mixed breeds.
I haven’t been responding to much, but I’m reading every single comment and message y’all are sending my way, and each and every one means the world to me.
Thank you for letting me share my memories and photos of my sweet girl while I grieve. It’s been very helpful.
Picking up my first ever online order at sobeys… I give them my name for the order and they say “there’s no Sarah here… there’s a … di… Dino…”
At that moment I realized I signed into and up for the service using my Twitter handle. Dinosarah.

Another birthday in the books. Nick made steak, mashed potato, asparagus and a side salad.
My momma made me blueberry cheesecake and Reese’s pieces cheesecake and made a trip to me today just to drop it off 💜💜
I’m pretty lucky.
Today is my last full day with Pepsi and I’m just trying so hard not to be upset for her sake. She’s always been so in tune with me and my emotions and has always been my main source of comfort. I don’t want her last day or last moments to be full of her wanting to comfort me.
Hey
@taylorswift13
did you know that one of your biggest fans is doing this amazing thing for mental health services in our tiny province of Newfoundland and Labrador?
She is truly the best of us and even has a cat named Taylor. If anyone deserves a shoutout, it’s her.
Bys I know the walrus is cool and everything, and we don’t get to see them often… but crowding around one on a beach is so cruel and unfair. Leave the poor thing alone!!!
One of the hardest vet visits yet, but next week will be harder.
Forever grateful for this sweetheart who always sticks by my side and leans in to comfort me. My whole heart and soul wrapped up in fur. 💜
So, I have a few things to say about
#BellLetsTalk
-I’m grateful for the fact that it encourages conversation and makes some people feel like they can open up.
-I’m disappointed that it’s become a bit performative and provides Bell with a giant tax write off.
Second day back to work without her.
Second day I’ve come home expecting to see her, in a weird way. I know she’s not here, but I don’t think my heart has fully accepted it.
Isn’t she just beautiful? I miss her so much.
I’m far from an artist but sometimes it’s nice to do something other than mindlessly scroll on this app hahaha
Used this picture I took as inspiration, even though it looks nothing like it. 😂
Alrighty. Here’s a little clip from the jam session in the woods!
Pepsi has always been the type to hang close and be kinda attentive when I play music and it my favorite thing 💜
Look at this incredibly cool hat/face covering Nicks mom gave me!!!! Goes on like a balaclava over your head and then the face covering part can be buttoned down or buttoned up!
Super warm and super pretty!!
Who wants to start a Newfoundland Ice Cream shop thread?? I’d love to try a bunch this summer. Mostly on the east coast but also just everywhere 😅
Am I lactose intolerant? Yes. Yes I am. It’s my burden to carry.
Cheers, friends!
I’ve read allllll your birthday wishes and I truly appreciate each and every single one. I didn’t respond to everyone so I just want you to know that you helped make this my FAVORITE birthday yet 💜
Not in my dragon onesie, but here's a lil snippet of Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Had to get my recording mic out, but the sound is still garbage because I'm trying so hard to be quiet in the apartment 😅
The house is officially sold!
Thankful for
@JohnRiche
(
@RealtorRiche
) for sticking it out with us & handling my anxiety like an angel.
Shout-out to
@kennedym_nl
for the AMAZING photos he took of our little piece of paradise. You played a huge roll in this, too!
Both gems 💜
Well today and tonight have been the hardest yet, battling the grief of losing Pepsi.
I don’t WANT life to go on. I don’t want to go back to “normal”. There is no normal without her.
To the young lass driving behind me on Portugal Cove Road just now, flashing her lights and riding my ass because the person in front of me was going slightly below the speed limit:
Calm your tits.
First night saying “bedtime!” And not seeing Pepsi jump up and race excitedly to her kennel 💜
She loved bedtime so much near the end especially because it was where she settled best. And she knew she’d get her dentastix with her peanut butter with pills hidden in it.
Went to Brent’s Cove today to see this massive iceberg.
I nearly cried driving around the corner and seeing this. 😭💜
Last year I wasn’t in Newfoundland to iceberg hunt. It’s lovely to be back.
I have a client who messages me on the day their pup is booked & says “Quito (the dog) is wondering what time you’ll be by today?”
I always answer with the time & “if that’s alright with him”
& the client always says “he says that works well for him!”
It makes me smile ♥️
Literally just saw a post in a fb group where a lady posted:
I just adopted a 6 week old puppy but something is wrong!!! When I try to be affectionate she bites me!!! And sometimes she does not listen!!!
These are the types of people that have no business getting a dog.
One of the hard things about the appointment on the day we said goodbye, was being handed a receipt for it.
I wanted to throw up.
It’s not something you even think about or prepare for. There were a lot of things that I thought I was prepared for, but I wasn’t.
People who show up JUST at their appointment time or are even 5 minutes late stress me out so much. How do you live life like that?
If I’m not 15 minutes early, I feel like I’m late.
I’m feeling exactly 0% Christmas spirit so far this season. We cut down our first lil Christmas tree in the yard last week. We definitely aren’t the type to decorate it for fancy looks.
It’s cute and I know it’ll be a special memory some day.
Friends.
I’m…. Happy.
Like genuinely happy. At ease. Content. Excited for my every day tasks and routines.
And I’m not even suspicious about it.
I’m just happy.
