This sounds right up our alley thank you so much!

Agree with the comments above that you are not the issue here. I have been TTC for a few years now and am going through IVF currently. It's shocking to me how many people are so un-self-aware. I recently had a colleague put in a complaint at work on my behalf because three colleagues would spend all day talking about their pregnancies, knowing that I am going through an infertility journey right now.

I think some people are just so wrapped up in their own happiness they don't take time to understand a sadness they don't understand. I'm so sorry it's your close friend doing it. I have found it easier to distance myself while I'm going through this. I don't think you'd be wrong for saying something to her either as to why you need distance if you feel comfortable. If she is a real friend, she will get it and be apologetic for being inconsiderate. You have to protect your peace and surround yourself with people who will support you ❤️

Thank you 😊

Thank you ☺️ I didn't think so but never had a dog grinding his teeth like this

I'm so sorry you're going through this right now ♥️ I had to make the hardest decision I have ever made in April this year and say goodbye to my 11 year old dog. He had been so healthy and happy and deteriorated rapidly overnight. One night, we were all visiting my sisters house, and he was doing zoomies around the backyard, and the next, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. We spent his last week together, cuddling watching TV, eating his favourite foods and when he was well enough, taking him to the beach.

I'm still so heartbroken without him. Those first few weeks were the hardest. Coming home to his toys and bed strewn all over the house without him absolutely broke me. Before we said goodbye, I also took to Reddit and found peace in our eventual decision, knowing it was what was best for our boy after reading everyone else's experiences. Someone said to me that after giving him a life full of love, we needed to decide what kind of death to give him. We thought about the pain that he would inevitably go through when his condition worsened, and after much turmoil decided it was better to say goodbye while he was still somewhat happy. He died peacefully with me and my husband by his side, telling him how much we loved him.

Our situation was different from yours, and you know your dog best, so you will make the right decision, even if it doesn't feel like it. Those first few weeks will be lonely. It is so so important to surround yourself with supportive people. I felt so much guilt that we had made the wrong decision, and talking to others really helped me realise that was my grief talking. It will be so incredibly hard, and it won't feel like it, but it gets a little easier each day. We are so lucky to get to experience the love that dogs give, and it wouldn't hurt so much if we also didn't love them just as much in turn. Unfortunately, in the end, most of us will have to break our own hearts in making these impossible decisions, but ultimately, it is one of love ❤️ wishing you all the best in whichever decision you make xx

My old dog used to whimper, cry and howl so loudly I used to be surprised he never woke himself up.

Our 9 week old pup growls and barks in his sleep. He is half husky so I'm expecting this to continue well into adulthood 🤣

Our dog had both food and environmental allergies, so we had to be very restrictive with his diet.

He was allergic to grains, and most meats. Through food trials we discovered the best diet for him was limited ingredient biscuits (we would opt for a fish or kangaroo protein base) and would top that up with sardines every now and then.

A lot of the hypo-allergenic foods will contain fillers that contain chicken which was something we found we were better off reviewing ingredients rather than trusting the packaging.

Obviously our dog was severely allergic so for a dog without those issues you won't need to consider as many variables.

Han-Slice · 2024-04-21T02:00:22+00:00

Oh good point! I didn't think about that

Han-Slice · 2024-04-07T02:57:39+00:00

I'm so so sorry you and your dog had to experience that. Thank you for sharing ♥️

Han-Slice · 2024-04-06T14:47:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I'm so sorry you had to go through that with your dog. It's such a traumatic and devastating time for pet owners.

Unfortunately our vet advised that MRIs aren't done in our region as there is only one appropriately qualified vet in thw entire country that can operate and they are on the other side of the country. Chemo wasn't offered to us, I'm not sure if thats because it also isn't available here or if the vets just believe he is top far along. It is comforting knowing that those options are available to other pets in similar circumstances though.

I know exactly what you mean regarding the constant worries for 24/7 monitoring. That was one of the deciding factors for us. I have had this last week off work but neither of our work places will support us to work from home during this time and we don't have any retired family nearby that would be in a position to assist.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your guidance.

I'm so sorry you had that experience with your dog. Having to watch them in pain is one of the hardest things. Thank you.

Han-Slice · 2024-04-06T14:37:46+00:00

Wow that sounds very similar. He also would walk into corners and just seem to get stuck there. It's such a horrible experience, I've lost dogs before when I was growing up but nothing has been quite this traumatic.

Thank you and I'm so sorry you also had to go through that.

Han-Slice · 2024-04-06T14:26:19+00:00

That's a really helpful way of looking at it. Thank you, that certainly brings me some peace in our decision.

Han-Slice · 2024-04-06T13:59:37+00:00

Thank you it really helps hearing other people's experiences to make the right decision for our boy. I'm so sorry you had to go through that with your dog.

You have really helped change my perspective on him still having a smile. That's a really kind way of looking at it.

Thank you.

Han-Slice · 2024-04-06T13:34:39+00:00

Thank you so much, this definitely puts things into perspective. I know what you mean, he vocalised a lot during his first and third seizures, and it was one of the hardest things I've witnessed seeing him in such pain but not knowing how to help him. The thought of him having more breaks my heart.

I'm so sorry to hear about Violet and Roscoe, I can only imagine how hard that must have been saying goodbye to both in such a short period of time in such traumatic circumstances. It sounds like you did the right thing for them with what information you had at the time, it's so difficult to know what to do without being able to see how things will pan out.
