Dog died

Victor's dog, Cesar, died yesterday and it was a horrible death. He got his chain hung up on a dead limb and choked while Victor was at work. It was just awful. Victor blames himself a thousand times over. I was with him when he found him. Victor had seen the limb fallen in the tree branches the evening before and had thought to himself that he needed to remove it but didn't. We both cried. I've NEVER seen Victor this upset. We buried the dog and I stayed with Victor for the rest of the evening. He really loved that dog and it pains me to see him hurt. This afternoon while he was at work he texted "I'm obsessing about Cesar. I need to get out of here." Which is a BIG deal cuz Victor never talks about his feelings often. I called him immediately and talked him through it.

What a way to start a week long vacation. Hopefully getting out of the empty house will do Victor some good.
