If your dog and lizard die, you go buy another. Problem solved. 
He got the dog because he was already going through a huge depression (crying everyday) spiral mode ... he tried, therapy, reading books, meditation, religion and it was actually one doctor who suggested him to go get a pet ....
For a while , he was doing somewhat ok , being 100% focus on his own project /quest to comeback to greatness on social media" ..the kind of motivational shit that will often engage with just about anyone with access to the internet , anyways ( and this is what I think it turned everything to shit ) he was all hyped up and motivated by his own progress and people around him until he met with this IFBB judge, that told him to his face that he was never going to place decent with the quad that never recovered from the injury ....
So it was a ton of shit from then on, lock down included , His days were either depress, crying feeling sorry for himself or in recreational drugs looking for trouble.
I guess is more socially accepted that he couldn't handle the passing of his dog/lizard than admitting that his bodybuilding dreams were over due to his gigantic amount of stupidity
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Vintage BE YE ke
