    I can’t even talk about my terminal dx of my daughter! So far she is living a great quality of life due to everything I have learned from Dr Judy! I changed her diet by adding everything to fight her hemangiosarcoma and she is doing better than me! It has been 11 months since dx and she keeps living a great life! I only can pray for a miracle because I can’t live without her!âĪâĪâĪâĪðŸ˜Ē

    When I lost my soul cat, Tiger, unexpectedly last year, I took my time finding an urn. I decided I need one with a pic of him. I ended up getting photoshop & teaching myself because it needed to be PERFECT & I wasn't satisfied with what the company was doing. I used to sing him a song & I labored over the font as this was included on the urn. It took me 6 months do get it just right. I think it was like therapy for me. There is nothing like the loss of your first very own pet. It was his death that led me down the road of species appropriate food & holistic medicine for my other babies. I only wish I had that knowledge to feed my Tigger this way. He was my first feral I domesticated and he showed me everyday how grateful he was to not be on the streets anymore & to be in a safe warm loving home. I miss my Sweetpea every day. âĪâĪâĪ

    I wish I could enjoy looking over photos and vids of my pet kids after they have passed. Instead, it just seems to intensify the extreme pain and loss. Only a lot of time passing eventually dullls down those horrible feelings for me. But even years later, still can't look at their pictures. It just brings back those feelings and can't even talk about them without wanting to sob.
    Maybe the next time (which is currently coming soon for our 15-year-old beloved Rauley dog), I should just try forcing myself to view those pictures and talk about him. See if it makes any difference in the long run.

    This subject is dear to my heart. It’s important to normalize the grief we experience so we don’t feel guilty. My 15yr old shitzu went for a dental cleaning and we ended up finding a small bump that was melanoma. We were told she had a few weeks-months to live and 8 weeks later we had to let her go. The disease spread through the roof of her mouth like wildfire and the necrosis set in. It was gut wrenching seeing this aggressive ugly disease take hold. She showed no signs before hand and no one could believe she was 15yrs old. She was so beautiful and the light of my life. I do recommend getting a new pup when u can. The love will never be replaced but will bring joy to a house full of heartbreak. Thank u for speaking on this and letting me share my story. I would talk about my sweet Layla all the time if I could. Grief is a process lots of ups and downs. Layla is the pup im holding in my pic☚ïļ

      Hi Brooke, I’m crying. Layla is gorgeous, infact she and my dog BoJangles could be brother and sister. Jangles has just turned 13 and I worry every single day about the time when he’s not going to be here and it makes my stomach flip. I agree about getting a pup quickly, Jangles is a rescue and I got him when he was 2 to help mend my broken heart from a previous pet bereavement. I could say that we both saved each other. Your heart must be broken up over Layla. Sending virtual love and best wishes âĪ xxxx

      @@BlowinFree Thank u so much! I can relate, I dreaded the day for 15yrs and what got me through was telling myself that I needed to respect her time and make it special like the day she came in to the world. We played spa music and surrounded her with flowers. I will miss her everyday but talk to her all the time and will be forever grateful for our loving bond. God bless u and your pup!💖🙏ðŸŧ You are stronger than u know!

    I have a serious question, at 5:00 you bring a point that I'm battling with and that is did I make the right choice, could she have lived more than what the vet said and why did the vet recommend putting my loved one down, a lot of the times I blame my self and I don't know what to do because its too late and my precious little girl is gone but I regret and have so much resentment towards myself and the vet, I miss my little Molly so much as she was my world and my everything before anything. :(
