Just let go of Juneau, 14 years old, adopted him 12 years ago. A true fetch fiend, and a great guard dog, he was ever vigilant even to his last days. My head knows it was his time, but my heart is fucking ragged right now. RIP Junebug 💖

Edit to add: thank you all for your support. I am pretty deeply introverted and don’t have many people to lean on. Being able to share this part of his journey has been very helpful with this heavy heart of mine. Thank you all and take care, and for those of you with pets of your own, dote upon them a little extra for me 💖

    That’s so nice! Got to be home and comfortable. I love that for him.

    We’re going into the clinic tomorrow. I didn’t ask if they do home visits for this, because mine would be stressed out having someone else be in the house. He likes it when it’s just family.

    I hope you and your other companions have long healthy lives together.

    We don’t deserve dogs.

    Be sure to take some time for yourself. It’s important to grieve.

      Totally get it, Juneau was okay-ish about clinic visits, but always anxious to get back home. Also helps that he assumed all humans were friends who wanted to pet him, so to him, the more the merrier ❤️

      Give your boy some extra snuggles for me tonight, and maybe some extras of his favorite treats, too.

      Thank you for your kind words, and I hope you also take care in the coming days 🙏
