Have some gratitude

I lost both of my dogs in one month. One to cancer and one to old age.
Both were rescues and were with me for many years.
Cherish your dogs. And cats. All animals that you care for.
Be grateful for the opportunity to have them in your lives.

 

Sorry for your double loss. A shit thing to go through for sure. Been there and done it many times and it never is easy.

 

I feel for you brother.

Right at the beginning of Covid last spring we lost a dog to kidney issues. She was 15 years old. Solid little girl all the way up to one day prior to leaving us. Two months later we lost another that was just shy of 15 years old due to blood red blood cell issues. He was a true cuddler and a mammas baby.

It stung so much to loose both pups so close to each other.

My wife had a hole in her heart and needed to fill it with doggy love and adopted a 3-4 year old pup from a young couple that could not handle his toddler like whining. We could tell that they abused him by the way he acted.
It took less than 12 hours for Milo to perfectly blend into our family. We have trained the whining out of him the right way and he is such a great companion.

A few months after Milo joined us, my adult daughter picked up her long awaited 7 week old blue merle Aussie girl. Kali has had the great opportunity to grow up with Milo. Milo is 20lbs, and Kali is now 47lbs. They play HARD and get along so good.

Hopefully many many more years of dog hair to deal with.
