I know what you mean. We've adopted a series of senior dogs with troubles over the years and they've taught us a lot about love and survival. Their predecessors ultimately died of old age, near 20 and I hope Jack & Reesie will have long lives too.

Letting go of my little Gabi was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I did it from love. It put an end to her considerable suffering.
You have given your dog a good life, and the easiest possible end of life is a loving gift.

I am still mourning for my little sweetheart. Gabi died 3 years ago yesterday after 13 happy years together. She'd been rescued from life on the street in Las Vegas, and when I visited her foster she picked me out. I am forever grateful.

This has been a wet, chilly week in the SF Bay Area. We've spent our evenings on the couch snuggled up with dogs, shawls, and mugs of hot tea or chocolate.

I had the pleasure of Gabi's company from April 2009 until December 2022, every moment precious. Thank you for making space for memory and gratitude.

Reesie when we brought her home in August, and Reesie after 4 months of healing, good food, and love.
She was in a fight when she lived on the street, and the wounds were very nasty looking.
Thanks to the rescuers in Sacramento and the kind people at #Muttville in SF, we are now her people.
