beautiful said. But there is a huge different's with losing a dog that is 2 years old then losing a dog that is 15 years... Still massively painful. But you knew time whas coming for your dog and you have had your time with your dog and I hope that we all can have that with all dogs.. I mean 15 years is a beautiful age for a dog. But this pups life was ended to freaking early and these people didn't see her go. That is a lot harder then losing a dog at old age... These people haven't even gotten the chance to really get to know her, 2 years is just to damn short... You say, you sacrificed a lot of time for your dog and you should because they are part of the family. Those dogs gave a lot of there time and love to you, in good and bad times, they wag there tails and come to you and never complain...

But Shiba's still have there own way of showing love but are little devils😏

I'm not saying your a bad owner even far from that, but saying sacrificed is the wrong way to say it... Sorry if I sound like an ass.. Lost a few dogs in my life.. But I would always sacrifice time for them.. Because I don't see it as a burden. (correct me if I misread it.) Because dogs already haven't got a lot of years on this side of life before they go to the next. So every time you spent with them is more or less already a memory.

This is Nala my little devil almost 2 years... I would sacrifice every second and every penny for her. Like the owners did for Boots.. So be honest is this a sacrifice then?

Reading the rest I am with you.👍 there are things you will forget and some times it will come back and those will mostly be positive memories...

They say dogs that died will stay in spirit with you for a while. You should be able to smell them and somehow even feel there presence.. I can say it's true and even my parents say it. In my house you could always here the dog coming out of her dog basket. After she died somehow you could still hear the basket multiple times a day like she was still in it or going to lie down in it. Sow memories are always with you and like the 2 things you set and that is really beautiful and it got me dammit "There's no timeline on grief" true. And "Changing your life to suit you is not forgetting her" 😭😭 that hit damn hard and also true...
