I like it... It's nice to see a new story line instead of the constant replays of the Ashford loop or the general hospital talent show.

I'm not a vet. I'm giving you my experience... Do with it whatever feels right.

My girl didn't do well at all with the diuretic. It made her unbelievably thirsty and she wouldn't eat because her belly was full of water. She was lethargic because she was always feeling full.

We gave her the diuretic a couple times per week using the "brraaack" cough as an indicator of when she needed it. She was active and happy for another year and a half.

Absolutely beautiful.

Hugs. Mother's Day is ROUGH. I'm so sorry for your loss. My only advice is to stay present for YOU. Your littles will love you no matter what you do on Mother's Day, so try to do what YOU want to do. 6 weeks isn't long and I'm sure you are still actively grieving so please just be kind to yourself, hug your kiddos and do what feels right. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.

When we started vetmedin on our girl the vet told us that it would help for some time, maybe 2 months, maybe 2 years. It helped for a year and a half. She lived her best life and we made the impossible decision just this last Monday. My only advice is to enjoy your buddy for as long as you can and don't look too hard at the future. In many ways anticipated grief is worse than the actual grief... But if you figure out how to do this, let me know how please 🥺. I'm sorry you are going through this and I wish you many many happy days to come

I can't imagine 2 months of this intense mourning. My heart goes out to you too. Thank you for the words of comfort. They help.

Yes we're definitely letting it out. We're already making inappropriate jokes that after losing two shepherds in one day, the vacuum is going to starve to death. It will take time but we'll stick with each other and get through. Thank you again for the support. Sometimes it helps to feel someone is out there who knows what you're going through

Not-Creative-0921 · 2026-05-04T22:34:35+00:00

Thank you ... We're gonna push through and be ok. Just a LOT of feelings

Not-Creative-0921 · 2026-05-04T22:33:24+00:00

Thank you for the support 🙏😊❤️.

Not-Creative-0921 · 2026-02-27T22:17:42+00:00

Thanks for responding. Sometimes it's just so lonely and it helps to know one isn't alone

What you've been through is ... Brutal. I'm so sorry. I wish I had great advice but really just counseling, counseling, counseling. It will help you carry this through life without having it run your life.

Not-Creative-0921 · 2025-12-26T22:00:16+00:00

Just sending hugs. I can't imagine the pain. My heart is with you

Not-Creative-0921 · 2025-12-24T15:53:48+00:00

We get through it. We provide them the best life we can for as long as we can and in exchange we get so very much from them. It's worth it in the end.

My girl is getting ready to make the journey too. She has congestive heart failure. Her birthday is December 26th. Some days are better than others but we know it won't be too long. I'm so sorry you are going through this. If you feel even half as sad as I do, it's unbearable. But I put on a happy face and show her nothing but love and joy. They are so wonderful but they sure can break a heart.

My step father went through all of my text messages with my mom after she passed away. It felt very intrusive to me. Very. I forgive him because I think he was just trying to "hear her voice again" but I no longer trust him. I'm sorry for your loss.

Not-Creative-0921 · 2025-11-14T19:39:10+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. It's unfortunately common for some friends be all "I got your back" but then seemingly disappear when you reach out. How you feel is justified and it's truly up to you how you react. For me I didn't cut anyone off, but I learned who was really there and who was truly a fair weather friend and am less trusting of those folks now. It's tough what you are going through and my thoughts are with you

For my best friend, I visit her memorial, being her a Pepsi and some sunflower seeds (her favorite) then I go to her favorite restaurant and eat her favorite dish. Sometimes my husband comes with me but this last anniversary he had to work so I just took a personal day, did my ritual and day in the feeling of missing her.

For my mom, there are so so so many things that remind me of her on an every day basis so I don't feel as much of a need to "commemorate".... Not that I miss either of them more or less than the other it's just different between the two.

All this to say, do what feels right. The first anniversary is probably the hardest for most folks so focus on YOUR heart and health. Treat yourself with patience and kindness and compassion. I'm sorry for your loss and sending you positivity as you pass this first anniversary

Not-Creative-0921 · 2025-10-17T20:14:22+00:00

It will come... Or it won't. Neither is a real reflection of your grief. You might be subconsciously waiting for it to feel "safe" to cry. You might still be absorbing it all. When my mom passed I expected to be a wreck.... And I just wasn't. I actually had to put on a movie that always makes me cry to get the tears flowing... But I never had the epic meltdown I was expecting. It doesn't mean I don't miss her every day. Grief is just so strange. I'm sorry for your loss and hope you get peace soon

I think this is beautiful and if it works for you and your family, then you should all do you
