Paws—Such tiny, little, unsure steps…
following me here and there.
Paws—Reaching up to be held,
as strangers stopped to smile…and stare.
Paws—To clean: the muddy ones, snowy ones, sandy ones, & all.
Paws—That slowly turned from black to grey, yet somehow stayed so small.

Paws? Please pause, wait I’m not ready yet.
Pause. I’m not ready to stop hearing those paws,Not ready to stop being greeted by paws,woken by paws,followed by paws.

Pause—No more paws now…only pauses, only memories.
Pause—I close my eyes so I can still hear the melodies.
Pause—My days will always be filled with still moments now.
Paws,If I only could have pressed pause…oh, if I only knew how.

- A poem by me, for my lemonade 💛

The last photo we had together. I know you are up there now, over the rainbow with your big brother and sister, but I wish you were still here.

A little Pebbles update 🍋💛
Pebbles is doing so well right now—it’s honestly like having a happy little puppy in the house again. If we didn’t know how serious her diagnosis was, you’d never guess. She’s so full of love and light. It’s been a real gift.
Every night before bed, we light a little birthday candle and sing “Happy Birthday” to her—except we replace every word with some version of her name. So it becomes something like “Pebbie Pebbles Pebbie,” and it’s completely ridiculous… but it’s our way of celebrating one more day together. A little ritual of joy.

She’s also been wearing a ThunderShirt lately ‪@ThundershirtForDogs‬ —it actually belonged to her sister, Sandy, who passed away years ago. Pebbles never needed one before, she’s always been a confident, happy little soul, unlike her siblings Sandy and Rocky who were more on the nervous side. But lately, she’s found so much comfort in it. It’s just her size, and I don’t know…maybe she can even smell Sandy too. She sleeps better, she seems more at ease—it has really helped.
I will link the one I have because I’d honestly recommend a ThunderShirt to anyone with a nervous or sick dog. Rocky wears his during fireworks or storms, but his was too big for her. Thankfully, we kept Sandy’s, tucked away in a box of her things. And now it’s helping Pebbles in this gentle, unexpected way. 💛

Thank you all for the beautiful messages. It really hasn’t been easy—I had a panic attack yesterday, but I went to my car to have it…I didn’t want Pebbles to see me like that or feel unsettled so I waited till my mom was with Pebbles. I felt so guilty for falling apart, but I’m trying to remind myself it’s okay to break sometimes, Davie talk me through the panic, I guess love is just so big that sometimes it overflows.

Your kindness is giving me more strength than you know. Every time I see a little lemon or a yellow heart pop up in my notifications, it feels like a gentle hug. Thank you for that. Thank you for everything. I wish I could return the strength you’ve all given me.

A little update on Pebbles 💛🍋

This morning, we truly thought we were losing her.

She was in such distress, and we rushed her to the vet, believing it might be time to say goodbye. It was one of the worst moments of my life. But the vets were incredible as always, they gave her strong pain relief, and to our complete surprise…Pebbles perked up. She’s comfortable now, and even had a few bright moments today.

We know she won’t recover from this...we’re still near the end but we’ve been gifted some extra time. Maybe days, maybe weeks. It’s fragile, but it’s something. And I’m so grateful.

I’m holding on tightly to every second with her. Every tail wag, every sleepy breath, every little sign that she’s still here with me.

Thank you for all the love you’ve sent her way. I’ve felt it—and I believe she has too. 🍋💛


Also, I want to say the biggest thank you to those who donated to Pebbles’ care fund. Your generosity and kindness is much appreciated, every message, every lemon 🍋, every small act of support 💛 it all means so much. 
Thank you for loving her with me. 🍋💛

My friends 💔
Today was meant to be my return to YouTube. As many of you know, my health has been a struggle these past few months, but after some time off, I was slowly getting ready to come back this August.

But on Monday, I got the kind of news no pet parent is ever ready for—my beloved dog Pebbles (my little Lemonade 🍋) is very, very sick. We’re not sure how much time we have left with her.Since then, it’s been round-the-clock care. My heart is completely broken. It feels like I’m living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from.

I wish I could pause everything and just be with her fully...but after so much time off this year due to my chronic illness and now with vet bills already piling up, I’ll need to return to YouTube soon to help cover the cost. I just wanted to be honest about why things are a little delayed.
This isn’t the return I had planned. I’ve been working on videos for months. Monday was meant to be my filming day, but Pebbles wasn’t herself. I hoped it was something small, something fixable… but when I saw my vet’s face after the blood tests, I just knew.

I’m doing everything I can for my little girl 🍋 I’m not ready to say goodbye and neither is she. I need to be strong for her, for as long as she needs me. If you’ve ever loved a pet, you know how deep this bond goes. Gosh, my friends, I’m just not ready for this.
Even as I write this, I’m checking on her every ten seconds. Yesterday, I think I fell asleep with my eyes open—if that’s even possible?! But my eyes are so fixed on her, I can’t look away.

I’m trying to work between meds, food, and comfort…but I had hoped to return with so much more energy than I have right now. You’ve supported me for so long! I wanted to give you my best when I came back, and I still will...just with what I have to give right now. Please bear with me.

If you’re in a position to help, or you want to, just your kind words or keeping us in your thoughts would mean more than I can say. There is a link in my bio/description for anyone who wants to support Pebbles’s care, but truly - there is zero expectations. I know so many are struggling too but I also know people will be sweet enough to ask 💛

Please leave a lemon 🍋 or a yellow heart 💛 for my little Pebbley Lemony.
As always, my friends, be kind to yourselves, be kind to others, and hug your fur babies a little tighter tonight.
Thank you, Sinead 💛🍋

P.S. If anyone has quick, low-cost meal ideas or a YouTube channel with easy recipes, I’d honestly appreciate it so much if you could share that with me. I’m avoiding takeaways so I can put everything towards her care, but I need quick meal idea's that won’t take time away from being with her. Thank you. 💛

My friends, How are you all doing? I want to explain why I haven’t been uploading. Right after my last upload, which was my birthday makeup look, I found a lump on my breast.
Which is hard to say because it feels more real the more people that know.
My doctor isn’t too concern but I have a scan in the hospital soon. It’s weighing on me, it’s on my mind all day, every day. I managed to put on a brave face in real life but doing that in real life and on camera felt like too much.
Also in the mix of everything, the night before my first doctors appointment my dog, Pebbles, had another stroke, she’s doing fine but it was very scary, we’re also waiting on more tests for her.
I miss creating videos and I want to get back to them, so I’m gonna start with some shorts and hopefully with some longer videos soon.
Thank you for always been a bright light in my life, sending you all my best, Be kind to yourself, Sinead.
