One of the hardest parts of being a pet owner is watching our dear animal companions age, slow down and start to have physical issues. Here are some things to watch for that I hope you will find helpful.
Please share any other great advice or tips that you have and think that others would find useful.
I hear very often from grieving pet owners that I talk to, that they feel more pain over losing their pet or animal companion, than they did over losing a family member. It sounds crazy, but I think that it is really hard to replace the true unconditional love that our animals give to us. They love us no matter what. They don't care what we look like, how much money we have or don't have, or whether or not we're in shape. Maybe one day we humans will learn to love that way. There is so much to be learned from animals.
Please share your experiences with us with these kinds of emotions. Have you ever felt this way?
Have a beautiful day,
Colleen
