They say that by the time they let you see how bad it is, it’s past time. It’s impossible to know the exact right day, especially when you see the little perk ups, the tiny tail wags, laying in the sun,… We do the best we can. I’m sorry for your loss.

Thanks, and im sorry for yours too. It’s hard, I try to frame it as opening up the opportunity to give another dog a loving home and I look forward to having many dogs in my life who all live hopefully the best and longest possible lives it’s just tough knowing you sign up for like a 15 year cycle of incredibly intense attachment and emotional friendship capped by utter devastation :') Like I think I get why theres that “dad who doesnt want pets” trope… its not that they dont like them, they just know theyll love them so much
