My beautiful beast (TW: pet end of life)

My sweet baby dog of 13 years won’t make it much longer. The vet gave us devastating news yesterday and now we’re faced with letting her pass peacefully or having her put down. This is horrible and just came as a surprise to me. I took her in for an annual exam and to see about her losing weight recently and the vet dropped the news like a bomb. It felt numbing and cold and I could think about was this can’t be happening. I’m so sad and angry and just want to make the final days happy for her.

By the way, turkey tail mushroom and Yunnan Baiyao supplements were recommended to alleviate her anemia and fatigue. She seems peaceful and joyful, just very tired and moving slowly.

So sad, but it happens when they get to such an advanced age.

An old college friend, Ken Dolan-Delvecchio, is a family therapist and author of a book on pet loss. The following might be helpful for you.
