Content warning: injured dog, sad owner. My dog Bella is a 4-year-old golden cavoodle and the first (and best) dog I’ve ever had. Before we adopted her I’d heard the cliché ‘man’s best friend’, but never known the pure joy of that human-canine connection (I would’ve confidently told you I was a Cat Person). In fact, Bella is everyone’s best friend and there’s nothing she enjoys more than cuddles (well, maybe chicken).
Sweet pup. I hope she will be fully recovered soon, and oh! How I feel your sadness and shame. I'm sure she knows you would have never hurt her purposefully. Perhaps there is some small silver lining, as yet unknown, in the two of you sharing such proximity this past week. The swim was clearly the right, restorative next step. Your paintings are wonderful and, I think, serve a similar purpose for many.

What a sweetheart. Accidents can really throw us out of whack. What a beautiful painting, love your description of it too.
Oh Shona, poor Bella, poor you. We are so connected to our pets that their pain is always our pain.
Swimming was probably the perfect thing to do to relieve the angst.
I do hope she'll be okay and by association, you too. Let us know...
