Thank you, Heather. This is a very timely and important video for me. Our beloved chihuahua, Lucie, passed on December 9. It is heartbreaking. But I am grateful for having had her love and devotion.❤
Your video came at a perfect time. I'm dealing with my 90 year old mom who is losing her memory. Regarding your precious little doggie, I used to be a hospice nurse and estimations of death are just that...estimations. taking the time to research kidney disease in dogs, identifying foods to avoid and amounts of liquids that are safe to give, can really make a difference in doggie's quality of life. Thank you for ALL of the videos that you have put out. And I'm glad you shared today's message.
I'm so sorry to hear Hurricaine isn't well. No one wants to hear that news, but it is inevitable at some point. Enjoy the time you have left together. Knowing what's ahead makes it extra special. It's tough letting go. Our pets bring us so much love and joy. We are blessed to have them. My heart goes out to you.
Heather thank you for this video and any time God puts a topic on your heart I’d love for you to make a video of it. You pull these kind of videos together with care and have some tips on how to combat the problem. You will never know how your words touch others or how lives are impacted thank you for sharing these types of videos. Please watch over Hurricane and enjoy each moment with him even after 2 years 😉 God is good!
Oh Heather, I'm so sorry to hear about little Hurricane. I know it hurts, and you are so brave to share. I hope the diagnosis is wrong and he lives a long, long time. On the other hand, reality bites... but we can always hope (and pray). My heart goes out to you. HUGS!!💕💕
Hi Heather! My heart goes out to you. Hurricane is your beloved pet. I pray he will be ok and you will have him in your life a good long time more. Dogs are so special and become our “babies.” Let go and let God resonates with me about a lot I worry about. I will take your advice. May God bless you. Love and Kindness, Teresa
I'm sorry about sweet Hurricane. May our Lord continue to give you peace and wisdom as you provide care and comfort to your little companion. May each day together be filled with joyful moments. Thank you for sharing. ❤
This video is so very timely for me. My worry has been about a Yorkie too. The day before Christmas my husband saw a lost/stray dog. We have seen the dog and tried to catch, but it has been scared and alluded us. Its getting bitterly cold and our neighbors have seen it up until a few days ago. None of the rescue services could help. The only good thing is that I've knocked on my neighbors doors and have gotten about a dozen people trying to help this little dog. Your other ideas will help too. Hurricane is so loved and looks in minimal or no discomfort. I wish our pups were with us much longer, but I will always enjoy the companionship of a dog!!
So many good things you have said! It is important to look after yourself first, and if you are a care provider for someone, keeping their lives as normal as possible is comforting for them, especially if they have minds that have changed due to illnesses. I am sorry to hear of Hurricane’s diagnosis, and it is certainly hard to say goodbye to our pets. We have lost 3 dogs and 2 horses, and nothing replaces each one. However if we know we have loved and cared for them to the best of our abilities, that is all we can do. And that applies to people as well. Stress does cause illness, and it is so hard to anvoid and control. Yes, I would appreciate videos along this vein in the future, it brings us all together.
Our first ridgeback passed at an early age from leptospirosis that damaged his kidneys. What we focused on was making him as comfortable as possible through diet and routine changes. It helped us prepare emotionally for what was to come. Thank you for your video! And yes, I’d appreciate more of these types of videos!
I am so sad to hear about little Hurricanes health declining. I had a little Chihuahua mix dog that also had kidney problems that we found about when she suddenly began having seizures. We did everything the vet said and showered her with even more love. She lived a long time with the disease. She always knew how much she was loved and Hurricane knows how much he is loved by you and his TH-cam friends. I always enjoy your reflections on life and how to handle the problems we all face everyday, so yes please keep it up ! I have always been a huge worrier and I actually gave myself an ulcer a long time ago from worrying way too much about every possible thing that could go wrong. It took that ulcer diagnosis to make me let go of worrying about things I could not control. Thank you for sharing the news about Hurricane. Just remember that the time estimation is just an estimation. Enjoy every single moment with him as you both already do. He is such a special little guy. Give him extra kisses from his Auntie Lisa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for touching my heart (as you always do) with your message. I agree now that his prognosis is just an estimation and I won't dwell on the 3 months. You should have seen him on his walk today, bouncing along like a puppy! Thanks so much for your extra kisses Auntie Lisa!!
Thankyou for this video Heather. It upsets me so much to lose a loved fur baby ❤.such good all round advice. Sending best wishes and love to you and Hurricane.
Oh Heather enjoy every second you have with wee Hurricane Our last dog had the same condition He'll let you know when it's time to go Bobby our Jack Russell is 14 now He has arthritis now and gets monthly injections which keeps him out of pain He's slow moving but is happy and enjoying life Great advice from you as usual Much love X
I was thinking little Hurricane just a couple days ago! Let go and let God…..the best advice ever in all areas of life. I simply let go and lean into Him. He truly is our All in All…..if we just let go. Prayers for you and little Hurricane! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you! Everyone is working through something in their lives so it is nice to see you speaking about that. My go to s for stress and worry are meditation and working out at a cross fit gym. Cross fit moves and workouts require focused attention which really help me get out of a negative headspace. Meditation gives me the chance to connect to the oneness of all things helping me to feel less alone.
Thank you for this wonderful honest and supportive video My heart aches for you. Two years ago I lost my 14 year old toy poodle named Buddy to kidney failure. None of our tomorrows are guaranteed. Take your walks and enjoy his company. In the end I remember Buddy as being a very special gift in my life. I wish you peace.
Yeah you are definitely right , I had a similar experience but a bike hit her , and I didn't take it well , because I have gotten to attached, so yeah just take your walks , among others
I'm very sorry Heather you are going thru this. There are so many challenges in life but yet we manage to get thru it. No problem with the video. Thank you for it. Fashion isn't everything and we have other things in life that are important, too. I lost my elderly cats so I know how it is. I also lost my elderly mother in 2022. My youngest daughter lost her cat who was young because of a severe medical issue after spending so much money on her with vets. I felt so sad for her. But recently she took in a stray cat and that helps. This cat would not have made it thru the winter if she hadn't taken her in. My oldest daughter is currently going thru medical issues with her 12 year old snowshoe cat so I worry about that. I really try not to worry too much about things but occasionally I have anxiety that keeps me from sleeping thru the night. When I get like that I do some breathing exercises and try to clear my mind.
Thanks so much for your kind words and sharing your stories about the cats. I love the deep breathing exercises, those are a great way to control anxiety. Take care.
Dear Heather, first of all, thank you very much for this personal video - feel hugged for taking care of your little hurricane, you are a mentally very strong woman and no matter what comes, you can do it - even though you are thousands of kilometers away from me and through your words/videos sometimes close like a friend
awww i'm so sorry heather 😢💔 it's tough with geriatric pets...i lost my cat at 18 to cancer...it is never easy whether it's a pet or a person hugs to you ❤
I’m sorry to hear this about Hurricane. He is such a sweet pup. And an estimate could be longer than they say also. I’ve heard of people who were given a short amount of time, but made it much longer. I used to be a worrier. But not anymore. I realized it did no good. Once I quit worrying I felt much better. I’m 65 and walk down to our mailbox. We live on the side of a mountain. And our driveway is steep. But as long as we can walk up and down the driveway we will. When we can’t we will buy an ATV and drive it down to get the mail. I tell myself when I’m walking down that It keeps my younger. Then I turn around to walk back up. And I say I hate this driveway. It does get my heart rate up. I have an Apple Watch and check it when I get back up to the house. I’m sure if anyone goes down while I’m walking up or down my driveway talking to myself may think I’m crazy.
I have an Apple watch too and just walked a mile in freezing cold...good idea to check. I love your story and thanks so much for caring. I feel better now about the prognosis and know it is just an estimate
We all have to go through this. Our world is set up this way. You are doing what God wants us to do in these situations,which is to: “Do something nice for somebody “
I do appreciate these types of videos. For me, let go and let God and hope go hand in hand. Both, to me, very important. These are excellent tips Heather. Any of us with furry loved ones understand what you're going through. I wish I could do these tips perfectly, but I'll keep trying! I've definitely done the "being thankful for what's right in front of me", and it helps. My heart goes out to you, and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Thank you so much for watching my video on how to help you to worry less. I hope it helps some of you. Take Care.

Heather these were all good tips!! I will certainly try them because it seems anxiety and worrying are the norm after a certain age.
Thank you for this wonderful honest and supportive video My heart aches for you. Two years ago I lost my 14 year old toy poodle named Buddy to kidney failure. None of our tomorrows are guaranteed.

I wish you peace.

I am not a stressful, worrying or anxious person so what happens I take onboard everybody elses problems.
That certainly happens
