My job is very stressful but I have benefits so I don’t like to complain, but two weeks ago my dog was killed right in front of me by an aggressive dog.
I was absolutely devastated.
Not only had this happened at a family member’s house, but it happened so fast that I couldn’t do anything. I held my baby as he died in my arms. I still haven’t washed my stained dress. He was my baby for 12 years and I loved him so much. Now he’s gone.
My boss chastised me today over my work, and while i agreed I could do better, she basically told me I shouldn’t have taken off work. That she went to work the day after putting her dog down. Basically saying I should have gotten over his death more quickly. I only took 2 days off.
In the back of my mind, I wish I could quit, but I need to support myself and my other dogs.
I miss my baby so much. Say what you will about my work but leave my dog out of this.
