Some Sad News

you've escaped

cw: pet death, pet illness, grief

Since Sunday, Nuggy hadn’t been her usual cuddly sunny self. By the time we began calling emergency vets in the Greater Toronto Area on Monday, every single one was at capacity. We finally got her into the emergency clinic this morning and we learned that Nuggy was much sicker than anyone expected. This morning, Ian and I decided that the kindest thing for our girl was to let her go peacefully while holding her even though today (and probably ever) we can’t imagine life without her. We are so so heartbroken but we know how loved she was by us and so many others. Thank you for loving Nuggy too, sweet readers; I know she felt that love in her life and in her passing.

As a result, there will be no new You’ve Escaped this week as we mourn this sweet bub we love so much—You’ve Escaped will return next week. If you’re new and would like to know more about Nuggy, this is a great place to start. Hold your pets and your kids and your loved ones close and be well. Forever Nug.
