@Badgardener I don't think so! Been on the other side plenty of times, always stuff you want to fund but can't afford within the budgets

@Badgardener seems they got some extra funding for quite specific stuff, which we fit, and we were right on the edge of getting through before...

Had a grant rejected a month ago and unrejected today, a very strange first.

Three weeks without the little dog, still not sure how to do a lifetime without him, it makes no sense at all. Drawing a lot of dogs while waiting for it all to settle a bit.

Just arrived at my MA desk to this beautiful gift of a new friend's copper etching test print 💚

Copper plate etching in black of 3 standing stones with a large stone balanced on top, in Cornwall. The left third is left as an unfinished sketch. It is moody and beautifully textured.

@alexisbushnell we just dropped a load of food off to a rehoming shelter, if you don't find a buyer that's a good option, and foodbanks also love to take pet food

@Badgardener is Matt Thomas the person who runs cornish paws? I've heard good things about them and had wondered about moving our other dog there now (she's far easier and healthier, really just quite a normal dog while the one we just lost was some kind of ancient samurai/warlord trapped in a poodley body)

@Badgardener yup - we kept him there because he had a lot of surgery over the years so the access to decent facilities seemed necessary, also Helena who now runs it was brilliant with him, although she stopped seeing clients years ago. But lots of problems there too and certainly impersonal.

@Broadfork haha that's a brilliant idea! We moved our dog's ashes out of the awful casket and into his still stinky (despite 2 washes) dried fish jar, it suddenly feels much more 'right' 🙂

@Broadfork your memorial idea sounds lovely though - maybe something to suggest to a council... I guess there's nothing stopping people applying for a bench or something like that, which could end up being a shared thing.

@Broadfork not sure what we'll do with them yet. We kept changing our plans, and in the end wanted them home, at least for a bit. I think we'll take them out of the awful casket they came in and put them in his sprat jar?! It's where he'd have picked! One day we might send them into the wind above a huge beach in Cornwall, or maybe put them under a plant if we ever get a proper garden, or maybe they'll stay home and eventually be buried with us - no rush so we're going to take time to decide.

@Badgardener it's a big practice, so the one from them wasn't written by any particular vet, just a generic one likely copied out by a receptionist. We saw a different vet most times, it wasn't great, it would certainly feel different if it was from someone who'd treated him a lot and seemed to care.

Stuck some tape down and doodled dogs on top, during a meeting that should have been an email.

Small strips of torn washi tape in black and beige, around a landscape a4 page, with ink dog doodles added on top of the blocky tape so the dogs are in all sorts of poses - lying down with a chew, jumping and running, sitting.

Last tiny quick sketches I did of our little dog before he left our world 12 days ago. An increasingly rare moment of him noticing something outrageous (a crow, existing) and showing some of his old reactions, although he did immediately go back to sleep which never would have happened a few months/years back.

Very simple thin pen sketches of a dog's face looking alert 'there's a crow crowing', then watching something 'how dare it', then curled up asleep 'it stopped'.

Honestly wtf is it with corporate pet condolences cards, emails, texts, and getting ashes back in a fancy branded shopping bag. The coldest capitalism.
