Yes I am still alive although I feel like death. On Monday, I was told that my sweet dog Snicker, who was back in the states, had died. That same day my son came down with a terrible cold. The next day, so did I. It’s by far one of the worst colds I’ve had in awhile and it’s lingering. I had some great plans for posts this week, but they will have to wait.
I appreciate all of those who have reached out to check on me. I’m sorry for the radio silence and am afraid it will have to continue until I’m better. Until then, hope you all are having a great week and I hope this cold/flu skips your house!

I’m so sorry to hear about your dog back home :( And I hate when a bad cold comes and totally ruins all of your plans. I hope you and your little mister are snuggling down and watching mindless television and enjoying lots of junk food. It’s really the only good thing about getting sick.
Thanks Allison. :-) Sadly, the cold has ruined our appetites but we have had some good snuggle time. He seems to be on the mend and is thankfully playing on his own today and letting me rest. :-)
Get well soon!!
I am fighting a cold for more than 2 weeks now and I’m on my 2nd antibiotic… Those fellas are bitches these days!!!
Keep your head up and enjoy the snuggle time! I’m back at work since yesterday and pretty jealous ;)

Thanks Anni! We haven’t been to the doctor yet. We were giving it the week to see of we could fight it. I’m still not sure who’s winning. Lol Glad you’re feeling better!
I am so sorry about Snicker. Aside from missing our extended human family, I think having to leave our canine, feline (and any other pet!) family members is the worse thing about being an expat. I hope you both feel better soon … and your husband doesn’t catch it!
Thanks Cindi ❤️
Feel better - there are a few doozies going around at the moment…
Apparently. This thing is kicking my butt! Thanks!
Get better soon! What a horrible week, i’m sorry to hear about your dog too :( I’m sitting in a train from Düsseldorf to back home - got another hour yet. Hope there is good stuff on tv right now but its probably a mixture of court shows, zoo shows and soap operas :/
Thanks! It definitely hasn’t been the week I had in mind. :-( Were you there for work? Have a good trip….I opened up my Bloglovin reader and have 825 unread blogs! Lol Seriously people? Stop writing already! :-) I guess many, many of those will have to go unread in order for me to “catch up”.
Yeah, I had a job interview actually and it went great! Ha, well with that many blogs to read you wont get bored anytime soon :)
Awesome! Good luck! Sounds like that will still be a commute?
Yeah, itll be just about an hour and 15 minutes by train one way but whenever we get a car its only about 40 or so.
So sory for your loss! I remember when I got the news that our family dog had been put down. Devastating!
I hope you all recover from your cold/flu soon! My colleague has been sneezing all morning and I’m convinced I can SMELL the germs filling our office…
It’s so sad. Our pets are part of our families. :-(
Haha! Well steer clear! This one is a beast and lingers. My son started getting sick on Sunday and he’s better today, but still have the cough and sniffles. Ugh.
Hang in there!! So sorry again about you pup - such sad news! Drinks lots and lots of tea, and hope you all feel better soon!! xoxo
Thanks Amy! Xoxo
Oh, you poor dear! I hope you and the little guy start feeling more like yourselves.
And I’m sorry about Snickers. It’s difficult to lose a pet, they’re so much a part of the family. Keep thinking about the happy memories. =)
Thanks Ace! I hope things get back to normal around here soon. Hope you and LM had a great birthday celebration.
Ugh…so sad about your dog. I’m so sorry :-( I would just die if it was my dog… Hope you all get better and back on your feet quick! Until then, we will all wait patiently until the next post! xoxo
Thank you. :-( It was sad news for sure. Thanks for the well wishes and support. It’s starting to get a little better around here! :-)
Gute Besserung, dear… and welcome to the Sickvil. My husband and I have been living in the bed coughing and sneezing for two weeks already. But it will get better, promise.
Dankeschön! I hope so. I’m feeling a bit better today but it had me completely down for a few days! Hope you both are better soon as well!
Snicker.. what a perky name :) So sorry to hear about your dog. Hope all will be well in your household!
Thank you! Yea it was a perky name for a perky dog! :-)
Sending you positive vibes… I’m sorry to hear about your dog. My dog died of cancer when I was at the Uni and I was unable to see her.
Thank you. So sorry you lost your pet while you were away as well.
I’m so sorry you lost your pup xxoo
Thanks Sara. Xx

We feel your pain, that cold hit our house too and my wife can’t get rid of it. Here’s hoping everybody gets better soon.
Thanks! I think that’s happening here too with me! Hope your wife is better soon!
