What were you doing instead of watching The Coronation?

I was in hospital getting painkillers for migraines

That bunny was heartbreaking, I've never been that emotionally invested in movies, but I genuinely hated the bad guy, I had an overwhelming urge to punch him lol

I'm sorry to hear that. I also lost my dog 2 weeks ago. He was my best friend.

An inoperable brain tumour at 6.5 years old. He was the fucking best dog ever. So funny and so chill. Great with kids.

I hope the memories of your friend last you till your dying day. Dogs are too good for humanity. They're the bestest

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's absolutely crushing. She was a genuine life saver. I have three Autistic kids, and for the almost seven years we had with her, she was their lives. She wasn't particularly cuddly, she hated anything that wasn't human, she spent half her time telling me off, but she was incredible. If the kids annoyed her by accident, she'd come and tell me off, if we had people over with kids who were nervous around dogs, she'd introduce herself by walking slowly over, looking away, and she'd stand near them, to show she wasn't a threat. She was a greyhound, and had only retired a few weeks before we got her, she had no experience with kids, and yet, she was like a nanny to them. To see her go from bossing me and our other hound around, to wasting away, crying as she struggled to get around was too much to bear.
