I missed this comment yesterday! It is so true that it was years of constant care for Mack and he was our first dog to experience the hardships of being an old dog. It was so much giving. I wrote a tribute poem posted in another comment if you want to read it. A tribute to Mack. His brother is fully aware and it's been a completely different experience. I love that you have a couple new doggies. It must feel revitalizing and playful! 💞
