Oh Dawn, I don't know what to say. I'm sitting here crying because I know what it's like to lose a dog. It is HELL on EARTH. When we get our dogs, we never think about the day they will no longer be with us. And when that day comes it shatters your 💜 heart into a million pieces. And it NEVER heals completely. NEVER. I still cry over ours. They left us 3 years ago 4 months apart. To this day I cry. I can't read any of the poems about the Rainbow Bridge, or any other what's supposed to be "comforting" words. I start crying, and just can't stop. No one should ever utter the words "just a dog".... Our dogs were our world. I hope you find comfort when thinking of all the times you and Pete had. It won't help now. It never does. The pain, anguish, and sadness, is just too overwhelming. 😭💔💔

Dawn I am so very sorry. ❤ On the afternoon of June 29th, 2024, I had to let go of my Dusty. She was like your Pete, losing weight, even though we had her on thyroid medicine and she ate like crazy. She was 21 years old and 9 months when she suddenly had a stroke and couldn't walk. I rushed her to the ER vet. There wasn't anything they could do so I had to make that decision that you don't ever want to make. Taking her collar off before placing her in the arms of the vet's assistant ripped my heart out. I cried so hard I got raw patches on my face. Dusty was my "spice girl", she had a will to live despite her health issues. She was so full of love, happiness and patience, she was amazing and I miss her terribly.
