Recharged and Ready to Write



It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? After a little break, I’m finally back and more energized than ever to bring you fresh content. Life has been quite a journey over the past few months. I went through one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life, losing all seven of my beloved dogs to the distemper virus. They were more than just pets—they were family. Their loss was a deep and painful blow that left me grieving and reflecting on life in ways I never expected.

During this challenging time, I took a step back, not just from blogging but from everything, to process, heal, and recharge. As much as it hurt, this break gave me the chance to gather new ideas, gain a fresh perspective, and find strength in unexpected places. Now, I’m ready to come back with renewed energy, a deeper understanding of life’s fragility, and a fresh commitment to sharing stories that matter.

I’m excited to dive back into the world of blogging and reconnect with you all. In the coming posts, I’ll be sharing insights, updates, and personal reflections that I hope will inspire, uplift, and maybe even comfort. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for sticking around. Your presence has meant more to me than I can express. I can’t wait to share what’s next!

  1. O rety!! Bardzo współczuję straty! Dla mnie też zwierzęta, to przede wszystkim towarzysze i członkowie rodziny. Dwa lata temu moje dwa ukochane potworki odeszły na raka. Do dziś mam łzy w oczach, kiedy o nich myślę...

  7. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We are dog lovers and have two mini schnauzers and they are a big part of the family, losing them to old age is bad enough but losing them as you did is heart breaking. I am hoping to join your followers but at the moment it's not working so I'll pop back later and try again. Many thanks for joining my followers too. Happy blogging, Angela xXx

  23. I'm so sorry to hear you lost all of your dogs to a virus. That must have been devastating. Pets have such a special place in our heart and they can enrich our lives in many ways.
    Our dog was poisoned many years ago, but it still hurts to remember it. Poor baby! Somebody fed her poison while me and my husband were on a wedding party. It was probably thieves, they poisoned a dozen other dogs that night. I felt so helpless in that moment as I watched her struggle in pain. I found solace in knowing that the two of us had so many wonderful memories together. I know she was happy with us and we were happy with her. That's what matters and those memories stay with us. I know I did my best to make her life worth while. On the day she was poisoned, we went on a long walk and I always fondly remember that. It was a lovely walk,
    It's also a reminded for me that the time we have with our loved ones- be it pets or family is precious.

It's clear from your words how much love and care you gave her, and how special the memories you made together are. It’s a beautiful reminder of how important the time we spend with our pets and loved ones is, and how deeply they touch our lives. Thank you for sharing such a personal and heartfelt story.
