    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss @ernie2009 losing a furry friend really is as bad as losing a family member, sometimes worse. And I know how devastating doggy dementia can be after I lost my old gal Leeloo to it. So please be gentle with yourself. I'm sure you gave the lil guy the best life and he loved you very much.

    We're all here if you want to chat. ❤️

    I have lost old cats before and they were my best little mates.

    My brother had to let two elderly dogs go and he loved them dearly.

    Its heartbreaking and deep down we will always miss them.

    We can only gradually adjust without them knowing we gave them their best lives.

    🥰
