I'm grateful for your support.
Four months ago today, I lost her son, and now she's gone too. No matter how much you try to mentally prepare for it, when reality hits, it's devastating. They both gave us so much love, unconditionally, and people often underestimate how wonderful dogs are. No matter the situation, they're always there for you. My heart is shattered, not just from her passing but also for my wife. I've grown so accustomed to hearing the sound of their paws/nails hitting the floor every time I walked in, eagerly waiting for us... It's a reality I'll have to face—an empty house. I won't vent anymore, guys. Enjoy the victory. Here's hoping for 12 more to come.
