Very terrible no good sad horrible news.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Pippin MB McFadden, my dearest boy, left this world in my arms at 1:28 pm Thursday - it was the last gift I could give him 😭

There’s never enough time.

My world crashed down as years of pent up emotion - fear and sadness over his anticipated death - hit me this last few days. I’ve been on a digital detox since, because denial. One day I'll get into the phase where I'll make a million movies of his life to great soundtracks to honor him. But not now.

Saying goodbye to this beautiful soul, my steadfast companion and friend, whom I shared my life with for 16 years, has been excruciating.

My little love bug.
He got me through so many rough years. He was a working dog, in my mind, as he gave me reason to go on at times and soothed anxiety at others. Pippin Monstar Bovine touched so many lives with his beautiful smile and warm energy. He came into my life at 8 weeks old and my heart was never the same. For almost 8 years it was him and I against the world then our trio became a triad as Kevin came into our lives. My now husband didn’t have a dog when I met him and Pip knew what he needed. Then we rescued Jax, our terrified meme dog. Pippin gave Jax something we could not. He taught him how to dog.
Our pack of four was a family.

Over the last year I saw a remarkable shift in Pippin and Jax relationship as he deteriorated. It was beautiful at times, painful at others. Pippin stayed closer to us, played more with Kevin, gave me more and longer hugs, he gave Jax more affection. It was as if he knew his time grew near. I guess that’s the wisdom of dogs.

There are so many more things I could say about him, lord knows this gal can ramble. If you knew him, you know how special our bond was, how special he was.

I was so damn lucky to have him in my life.

Hold them tight tonight friends and never take their unwavering love for granted.

I do love a funny face! 🤣🥳

What could you see this new little bird design on? A sticker? A pillow?

Made myself a motivational piece! I’ve always been attached to inspirational quotes but can’t stand the art they’re usually used in. This one ha s super specific meaning to me. The checks remind me it’s ok to be imperfect, it’s in the persistent pursuit that we find ourselves.

While resistance isn’t ☠️ futile, I’ve noticed Internal resistance when something is uncomfortable to think about or requires an action I don’t really want to take.

Being uncomfortable isn’t a bad thing, it can lead to great personal growth. Uncomfortable conversations or uncomfortable risks in business can both lead to self discover and reward.

So how do you sit with discomfort? I’ve learned writing about my discomfort often leads to. Greater awareness. How about you?

Had our first art fair! Sold three paintings!!
