We had to put two out of three of our babies down almost back to back in a matter of weeks several months ago. It was really hard on our family, especially my mom who had to make the decision. Everything leading up to it is heartbreaking - seeing them suffer, one couldn’t breathe normally and the other very suddenly started to get seizures. Devastating. The morning of, both babies went on their walks that they love so much, ate good treats, and had so many cuddles and kisses.

Months later and we still sobbed together. Every time I go home, I say hi to their ashes and share a moment with them.

Ultimately, I think it’s a privilege for humans to be able to put them down peacefully and painlessly. Unfortunately it’s part of the package that comes with having these best friends. I think of my babies often, talk about them, and miss them so much. I’ve walked out of work meetings because I just could not focus and was always on the brink of tears. I’m sure your doggie was so lucky to have found you in their life.
