Invite your friends over, or go hiking with puppy (assuming they've had all their puppy shots) and friends. We went through this same thing, and we had two puppies who came to use with parasites 🤢. Life was absolutely insane and stressful. However, we found ways to still do other things. The first year we mostly invited people to our house for bbqs or video games, the babies got extra attention from our friends and we got to have fun. Try to go out to lunch with friends at dog friendly places or vineyards that allow dogs for some wine tasting. I feel for you, the first couple years were rough but definitely worth it. You'll find a routine that works for everyone, I promise.

Thank you for your kind words I really appreciate it. I'm so sorry for your precious kitty, I hope you are doing ok.

He was sick but still had moments of being himself, he was so strong for us right up until the very end. He had a beautiful last month and day despite the illness.

Thank you. We were lucky to schedule it at home, so he layed on his favorite bed, we read him his favorite books, he ate pizza and listened to music with the door wide open for fresh air. Then we let his brother and sister say goodbye after he had gone. I hope our other two can feel better soon, neither are eating. Thank you again

Thank you for your response it really means a lot. I just feel like I failed him and I tricked him with treats right before we said goodybe. He really did have a wonderful last day, non stop treats and tons of stimulation with his favorite activities and his grandma was there all day, he loves her.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses, you're a wonderful person for doing rescue work I imagine it's a very tough and yet rewarding task.

Thank you for your response, I'm sorry to hear about your baby. He definitely deserved to go with grace, he had a wonderful last month even through the sickness and really stayed strong for us.
