Or Nikki, depending on how you know me. 21+. She/Her.
Who's saying you aren't good enough? Point em out to me. I'll drop an anvil on them.

You're a wonderful, thoughtful person. Your creativity and ability to learn to make incredible things borders on wizardry. And wizards need a tower in the mountains away from the bustle of society. Keep being you.

I can barely sit at my desk. I'm behind on things I've promised people. All I do is lay in bed or in the tub and just struggle to feel normal.

I want to cry. Who fucking deserves this???

I know there's nothing to say that will lighten that hurt, but I've had the honor of growing alongside you and watching you accomplish so much, personally and professionally, for 20y. You relentlessly chase your dreams and you catch them -- It's inspiring. I'm proud of you, and have been for years.

She was my little mochaccino, my silly banana, my Jooba, my little bear.

She was the best dog, the absolute best companion, and I am so grateful that I went to the humane society all those years ago on a whim. It changed my life forever.

I loved her so much. I hope she is at peace now. (12/12)

She was suffering.

So, last Friday morning, we said goodbye to her. I knew I'd never be ready, but... I really thought we had a lot more time. She was so spry, so playful... even in that final day.

My heart is shattered. The house is so quiet without her, I can't stand it. I miss her so much.

2wks ago, she got violently sick. After a few days, she wasn't getting better, so we took her to the vet. Over the next week, we took her to see another vet, and then an emergency clinic for imaging.

Last Thursday, we learned she had cancer in her liver, preventing digestion, causing intense pain.

More than anything, she just loved being with us, together. Even if we were just sitting quietly watching a show. So we tried to make sure we did as much with her as we possibly could.

I grew up with dogs, but Jubilee was the first dog I raised from infancy. She was my dog through and through.

We brought her everywhere we could. To Los Angeles, Tahoe, to just about every short trip to the store or mail box. Anytime she couldn't come with us, we made sure to give her a "sandwich" when we got back -- where we sandwiched her in a hug that she melted into.

About a 18mo ago, I set up an isolation booth in my closet. She immediately took it over and would spend a little bit of time in there every day. It was both low and dark, and... I don't know why she loved it. But she did.

She loved being up high: desks, tables, and backs of couches were ideal spots. Dylan set up a dog bed on our laundry table, and set it up next to his desk. She hung out there all the time.

She'd look out the window of the car and defiantly stare down the wind.

Weirdly, though...

"Stairball" - throw the ball up the stairs, she chases after it, and then nudges it down for you to throw it again. Sometimes, she'd play it by herself.

"Rescue Stick" - a beach exclusive. Throw a stick. If it's in danger of being washed away, she'd grab it and bring it back. No danger? No chase.

She knew her food times and would pester us about them to the minute every single day. She loved walks, she loved car and bike rides, and she loved naps (more than treats). She loved chasing tennis balls, loved to hate crows, and she HATED the Amazon truck.

She had a few favored "games."

She was so smart and yet somehow so clueless. During potty training, she figured out she would get a treat.. so she'd pretend to go and then eagerly run to where I keep the treats, hoping.

But if you pointed at something? She didn't get it. She'd look everywhere except for where you were pointing.

I didn't go to the humane society intending to adopt a dog but I had to bring her home.

It took me 3 days to name her. I wanted something superhero-ish (because of the mask). She was shy, but curious, and she would go from sleeping to zooming around the house like a firework. I decided on Jubilee.

The CEO wanted to call them "Skoots," but the community eventually started using "Skeet." This prompted the CEO to more or less beg people to please please use "Skoots" instead, so of course it's been "Skeet" ever since.

You matter a great deal to me.

I will never forgive Apple for this heinous transgression against humanity.

An OR filled with an hour loop of boi-oi-oings and sad slide whistles would definitely improve a colonoscopy.

Omg, what???

That is **wild**.

I'm happy to pop a new bone every five seconds to sample the entirety of his skeleton.

Honestly, I didn't think about it being tiktok, but you're almost certainly right. Bad place confirmed.

Both were called back one after the other, so things are mercifully quiet now, haha.
