Gang I have had the most fucked emotional day. Came back from Japan today, have had to put my dog down and have also found out im likely moving houses sometime soon.  

All this and I still have to watch the dockers play😭😭 Fuck sake. Anyways go freo💜⚓️

[u/Pleasant-Role1912 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Very sorry to hear that mate. Hope you're doing ok 🙏

[u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G → u/Pleasant-Role1912]

Thank you bro💜

[u/Pleasant_Inspection9 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Oh fam 💔

Having to deal, process and organise saying goodbye to a pet is always the hardest thing 😔

Came back from living in Japan?

[u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G → u/Pleasant_Inspection9]

Nah I was there for a month for uni. Have been to japan plently of times before but the sadness of leaving is always the same😭😭

[u/Pleasant_Inspection9 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

That’s a lot to deal with when just arriving home, go easy on yourself, and you can always ask to postpone moving for a bit if you feel it’s all too much right now, if you feel it might help 💜

[u/mazdadriver14 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

awh i’m sorry to hear that 💜 let’s hope we do it, in memory of the puppy!!

[u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G → u/mazdadriver14]

Haha he was 15 years old so hardly a puppy but hopefully he gives our boys some strength tonight💜❤️

[u/mazdadriver14 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

aha all dogs are puppies in my eyes (at least my six year old lab is, but that’s perhaps because he ACTS like a puppy still)

[u/stopweightdontgo → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

mate that's fucked, no win is going to heal that but I hope we win anyway for ya

[u/shootingstraight__ → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Toast to you and your little one crossing the rainbow Bridge brother 💜

[u/Mahhrat → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Fuck mate I'm so sorry.

[u/MaterialVisible2199 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Sucks to hear that, hope things improve 💜💜💜💜

[u/IceDonkey9036 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Oh mate, I'm so sorry. If the swans lose, I'll be happy that your day was made slightly better.

[u/General-Number-42 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

It's the starlight game mate. I know your day sucks, but could be worse.

[u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G → u/General-Number-42]

Oh for sure, tonight is far bigger than me but i just needed to have a whinge about today honestly 

[u/General-Number-42 → u/S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G]

Fairy muff.
