I have never posted before but this subject has affected me deeply, as I just went through this journey with my husband. There will be good days and bad days to be sure. Take advantage of all the good ones as they will begin to dwindle quicker than you realize. For me the time went by very slowly and also faster than I realized (if that makes any sense).Also be assured that your beautiful puppy is very aware that changes are taking place with you. We had a cat that never got in bed with us but when my husband took to the bed she started sitting with us every night! She was very sweet and gentle and would just lay by his side as if guarding him.I was amazed at her behavior as she had never been so loving and since his passing she hardly ever leaves the bedroom. She sensed that he was going and she knows that he is gone. I hope your journey goes as easy for you as it can and your last days are filled with comfort and love.
