Wisdom from a 4 year old.
He said, “People are born so that they learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The four year old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
I'm sorry for your loss, Loverskitten.

Our other dog is this way now too, he's 17. He's losing his sight and hearing, but he still bites the vet when he gets his shots. He's the one I worried about, not my energetic 7 year old Dobie. Hug up that old guy (young'uns too)

I know I am a few days late in offering my condolences, but here they are anyway.
As a child, our family kept pets, but did not allow them inside and did not believe in taking them to the vet. They were left outside with food and water and very little interaction. By default, they turned to me as I was usually the one tending to them and fighting with my father for their well-being. Most of my childhood pets did not last a year at our house.
I vowed that, as an adult, I would care for my animals to the best of my ability and to always provide them with a chance to live unless I was doing so for my own selfish reasons. I know it's a bit strange, but I envied those who talked of their old dog dying after so many years. I had never experienced that kind of relationship. All of my animal friends were new ones.
The pain is great, I know. I dread the day that I lose one of mine, even though they are all still quite young. I lost a foster suddenly that I considered mine and he haunts me every day. But I know from experience that not having that chance to love, to grow an old friend, is so much greater a loss.
May you find comfort through the next few weeks in the wonderful memories you have of your sweet girl.
