The Name

Anthony Leave a comment

Who is Milo and why did I choose to name the blog after him. Well Milo and I found each other in February 2013. He was a scruffy 4 month old puppy who needed to be loved. He quickly endeared himself to everyone who met him and made my life complete. We shared many adventures together with my friends who became his friends. He weighed 8 pounds but had a personality which was much larger than his size. He would fill a room and instantly would make friends with people and animals alike. Sometimes even a cat.

While Milo and I were together he would make the days brighter and wherever we would go he would be the center of attention. When I thought about a name for this blog I could not think of a better name to pay tribute to someone who made so many people and animals happy.

Great Intentions

I have had this site for quite a few years with the intention of writing something, not sure what I had in mind. I think if I were to be honest I kept this in my back pocket for the day when I could be creative and energized to accomplish something. So I guess a fair question is why now. Well I have had some traumatic things happen over the last couple of years and I guess maybe this would be a good outlet for my thoughts and feelings. I am not big on therapy or I guess I should say I was not big on therapy until my dog Milo and I were attacked in August of 2022. I lost my little buddy and have been suffering from the incident for the last 8 months. For the first time in my life I have had to reach out for professional help to get me back on a good path. I must admit I am still not there and find myself struggling with anxiety and short temperedness. The therapy helps but I also know I am damaged and am not sure if I will ever be back to where I was before the attack.

I guess that brings me to this site and what I intend to do with it. Writing about everyday stuff can be helpful and possibly even therapeutic. So I figure I have an outlet so why not write about life. Not sure where it will go but I think this will help me and help preserve the memory of Milo. In the coming days I will update on where things stand with life and I think get back to writing about life and the adventures which happen.
