Oh goodness - this wrecked me, and it lifted me up at the same time.
Did you ever start him on some medicinal mushrooms? I've seen some amazing things...
I'm just glad he has you, and I know how much love for you is there from him as well. Otis' passing was both gentle and rather lovely, as I was there with him through all of it. I do regret telling Zoe that morning that if she felt she had to go, she could go. I wish we could have been there with her so she didn't go it alone... Mike went home to check on her and she was having a hard time. He didn't have anyone there to help. In retrospect, I wish we had called someone in to help her pass peacefully that day, as I realize now that just telling her that before I left for work meant that some part of me knew it was time, but I thought that just meant "soon".
I remember that little puppy - it's hard to believe that time has flown by.
Aaaah, auntie Christine! You have been one of his best friends from the start. I know! Can you believe it's been twelve years? That seems crazy. He's been on Turkey Tail since he went into remission and I think that's why he had such a good, long run. I still see it give him tons of energy. In reality, he's is 20+ months past diagnosis, which is really amazing. I think it's all the love, pets, and quality food and love from Green Dog Pet Supply (wink) that got him through, and me, too. The most supportive dog community around. I am glad it also lifted you up. Then Petey is doing his job!
