Three years ago, me and my wife have given in to our long-standing desire to get a puppy. We were looking through listings in a few places. One stood out, as it was a mixed breed pup with blue eyes, and was to be given away for free. I did not have a lot of money at that time, and was not fully intent on bringing the pup back. You&#39;re not supposed to. If you choose to pick up a pup, you earmark, and you get the house ready for the dog <em>before</em> you agree to take them in. To ease the transition it is also often customary to give the puppy smells: some of yours, some familiar, to both get ready for their (hopefully) forever home, but also to remind them of their not-so-long-ago right there mum and siblings.</p>https://appetrosyan.github.io/posts/dog/Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://appetrosyan.github.io/posts/dog/<p> This is not an overly long post. I don&#39;t have the energy to write a longer post.</p> <p> My two year old pup has a tumour, one that I don&#39;t know the prognosis of, and would not know for quite some time.</p> <p> I hope, somewhat foolishly, that this is not the end for Sirius, my dog, and that there is much to be done. May be, just may be, we would get back to normal, and it would be a blip on my radar. Not likely, but a ray of hope.</p>
