Gus after Oscar

June 30, 2020 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

Gus has started to worry a spot on his leg. He lies on the floor and dozes between bouts of licking the spot clean. The same spot gets licked over and over again. He’s snoring at my feet as I type about this worry for a dog who is 14 years old.

Tales of two dogs are probably not what you’d expect now. However, these are stories of a past and future I can’t change. Colum McCann’s Apeirogon has made me reflective, sad and now, even a worry spot on the dog’s leg makes me worry that I will somehow let him down.

Plague Contagion Pandemic

March 23, 2020 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

23 March 2020 – 22:40 GMT – 8°C Mostly Cloudy – Co. Dublin, Ireland

I feel so sorry for everyone who has had to put their lives on hold and even sorrier for those whose loved ones will not hold onto their lives.

16,500 deaths.

The UK has gone into lock-down. About time too. Wonder if Ireland will do it tomorrow? And how did we get to having a 40,000 test backlog?

I walked to the vet earlier to collect meds for Gus, our dog. A supply he might need if Ireland goes into curfew. A proactive move to avoid future trips to the vet. Then we took him for a short neighbourhood walk.
