Hey guys. I finally got my computer back! I actually got it back over the weekend. However, certain events have left me unmotivated to post.
My dog, and best friend Georgia got diagnosed with cancer this weekend. Unfortunately, we had to put her down. I have had Georgia since I was only 5 years old. She was not only a good dog, but an important piece of my family. I grew up with this dog. I mean, she has been more involved in my life than my actual father! So this really hurt me, and it is weird not having her around.
Georgia was a great watch dog, she always let us know when someone was approaching the door. She slept with me in my bed every single night until I became 6’5 and began kicking her accidentally at nighttime. She never hurt one of us, she was always willing to play with us, even if it meant having my 4 year old brother ride her around the house. There are countless memories that we have with her. She was a great dog that fit into the family better than anyone could have asked or wished.
I really recognized her importance after we put her down. My family began to get closer by talking about all the good times that we had with her, and all the little things she did to actually make us better. This led to us looking through all photos and reminiscing. Although her death brought sadness, it also made us recognize just how special this dog was to me.
I know this is a music blog, and I don’t want to get too personal on all of you guys, but it was really important for me to get this out there. At least you know why my posting has been pretty flaky the last few days. So, thanks a bunch for hanging with me. Things will get kicking around her soon enough. I am working 3 different part time jobs so it aint easy but this blog is one of the few things I can really call my own, so it will always remain a top priority.
RIP Georgia, you will be missed!

Hang in there Will, it is tough to lose your dog. I lost mine in high school after having him 13 years, and it is like losing your best friend. Its funny how dogs can do that to you…remember the good times pal.

Like the others, i’m sorry to hear about your loss, and i hope that things get better soon. Take your time with coming back – 3x part time jobs straight after exams and a tough break is enough to be juggling! Get well soon.

I wanted to quickly send my condolences. I am a long time reader but I have never posted and apparently it takes something like this for me to do so. I wanted to say sorry and to hang in there. I have never owned a dog but have been close with many and the pain that I’ve seen friends and relatives go through is immense. Keep yer head up.

Awww, we lost our dear dog about two months ago. I totally know how you feel. He was 14, we had him almost as long as we’ve been together and I still look for him in the hallway. Hang in there, xooxox!
