What an important topic - I’m so glad your little pug is doing much better. A stray cat has recently adopted us at our lake home, so we’ve done the right thing to the tune of 500.00 for neutering shots etc!! Now Gibby is ours and like all pet owners (and cat #6 for us over the course of 30 years) we hope the vet is accurate with an estimated age of two and he’s around for a very very long time. Grieving our beautiful felines over the last three decades was harder EVER SINGLE TIME! Thanks Sherry for showing and feeling such compassion towards our fur babies!
OH I am so glad she is better. Jeff is my first ever Pet -the family had cats when i was young but I had little to do with them. Jeff is technically my son's dog but ..When Jeff is sick my husband can barely function and will not blink at paying whatever it costs. I think we all appreciate that the unconditional love a dog gives us is priceless and so needed. It goes to show that we humans need this soul enhancing experience of love
I read how they are a chapter in our lives while we are their whole lives. That’s a perspective the epitomizes the unconditional love, when I read that. They can teach us so much about love. Giving and receiving.
How timely was this. Just this week Grant and I have had more than one conversation about Max. 21 years old and very quickly declining. We are googling everything, taking online questionnaires on quality of life. We know it's time but I'm not ready. Is she though? I wish she could tell me. Am I being selfish? How can I make this decision? I'm already grieving and she's still here.
I cannot imagine navigating the fine line of what you want and trying to interpret where Max is at. Sending loads of love as you move through all of it.

This is so important to keep saying - no loss is "just" a loss and we cannot fathom another's grief. All grief is valid!
RIGHT! 100% yet when it comes to pets this is still being perpetuated!
