It's okay that you've not replied on Discord! We each have our own lives, that unfortunately sometimes get in the way of more fun things.
My grandmother has passed away. Died on February 21st, I'm afraid. It's been hard, but I've gotten through it for the most part. I'm certainly doing better than Mom, but my brother is doing even worse than she is. Then again, he's always been a sort of selfish and useless person who has never experienced any sort of trauma in his life, so he really doesn't know how to handle this. I guess I'm lucky in that way that I get so attached to my animals that I've been through quite a lot of trauma when they pass. It's sort of prepared me for this moment. Plus being pregnant helps. It means that I have something very, VERY important to worry about it in the meantime.
Briggs still occasionally doesn't want to eat but he's been wagging his tail more today and will be enjoying some time in the shade of the backyard this afternoon while I brush Cocoa. We're getting the house and yard and pups ready for this Memorial Day weekend, which I think will really cheer him up. He's gained back about 5 lbs, so he's only around 5-6 lbs underweight atm. Still looks really skinny, the poor thing. The only thing we've been able to get him to consistently eat is chicken, which means I unfortunately have to purchase and prepare it. But of course I will do that for my baby to help him heal. He's off all medicine now aside from all natural chews (Zesty Paws) for a liver supplement. He doesn't willingly take it, but at least it doesn't taste horrid when it hits his tongue or he bites into it (the boy has such a big mouth that it's nearly impossible to get the pills as far down his throat as needed for him to not spit it back out).
I hope that your lovely Prince is doing well, and that your family is, too. I recall someone in your family having some sort of mental or physical problem, though I don't recall exactly what or whom. I hope that they're well, or as well as they can be.
It's wonderful that you've found that sanctuary! It sounds beautiful ♥ I, too, have been sticking to my vegan diet and trying to keep up with the lifestyle wherever practicable and possible. We've got such a wide range of delicious foods to eat, and we wanted our Memorial Day cookout to be purely vegan. Unfortunately, my husband's aunt is making excuses for herself (first it was "Gram won't eat it" and "Gram isn't used to it", before it very obviously became about her: "I'm wigged out by vegan food"; "I'm not used to it"), so she wants to ruin it by bringing her own hamburgers, hotdogs, and macaroni salad. I'm tempted to just deny her completely in that case. Which would be unfortunate but at the same time, it IS my house. What do you think?
tl;dr, life is hectic atm lol
