How do you stay productive when something bad happens?

I try to change the focus and do things that make me feel better (go to a good place and drink coffee that I'm obsessed with). While I'm drinking coffee I don't think about the bad stuff. To be honest I refuse to think about stuff that makes me sad at all. That's my meditation. Another good thing is to read/watch an interview with the person whos inspires you. Everyone has bad days and you have to know that you're not alone. Actually, sports helps too.

Hope your dog will recover soon. My suggestion is you to stay optimistic and maybe you can busy yourself with other stuff to make you forget about that for a while.
