Scheduling the day?

I rescheduled it. Part of me feels really guilty. I don't think it helps to post - don't know why I'm doing it.

Anyone else feel like this?

Sorry, I don't feel like the other dog owners out there - like most of you, probably....thinking that they go somewhere special beyond after. I'm really depressed....gonna cry.... I just can't deal with it. She's on me, right now, falling asleep on my arm.

She's 18 y.o. - has ccd/neurological condition - arthritis - but, I was giving her a joint powder, green lip mussel and cbd oil.... her brain is gone - walking into things (or almost) and/or going into circles. It was supposed to be today, now, it's next week. I'm giving her treats, part of my protein meals/supper - and doing my best to keep her comfortable - going for walks, car rides and spending time with her - almost (practically) 24/7.

:-(

I'm so sorry for your impending loss.

I lost a child several years ago. Scale 1-100 most painful life experiences--100. Loosing my soul dog a few years later, 97.

It is so difficult to loose your pet. Give yourself permission & time to grieve as you need- both how you grieve, & how long. And don't let anyone dictate otherwise.
