    It has been 4 weeks since we had to help our little dog sleep for the last time. We had 18 extra healthy and happy months with him because of chemotherapy… when we were told to expect a couple of weeks if we didn’t get chemo. It comes and goes in waves but I miss his tiny little furry body and his chatter. We made those 18 months count, he even went on a 2 week roadtrip adventure with us when we drove to WA Image: A smiling Pomeranian pleased with his new haircut.

      It’s so hard when they must leave, but not having their joy in our lives is insufferable. Best wishes to you.

        Thank you… especially when he was so loud and had such a big personality. We have an almost 14y/o Kelpie who is super chill and very quiet so the little dog’s absence is very noticeable. We have discovered the Kelpie only barked because the Pom instigated it lol. The postie can now enter undetected.

      What a lovely pup! It’s the toughest time, especially when we fight so hard for them to stay with us.

        Thank you so true. He was the life of the party - like the very loud, first time wasted kind of mate who you love anyway 😊

          He sounds like a bit of a character, and they make the hole left behind so much bigger 🐕

      What a beautiful little guy ❤ We will never have enough time with them. I hope you’re taking care of yourself.

        Thank you… He was very cute. He got a thrill out of being a pest and loved a good prank, especially involving toilet paper and underpants ☺️ our furry friends could live our entire lives and if still wouldn’t be enough. We were lucky to have this little guy in our lives for almost 12 years. He only did things he wanted to do so we seek a bit of solace in knowing he only would have chosen this moment because he was ready ❤️
