Wow! Good looking guy and hound! (I’m a female by the way)
That’s such a poignant representation of how much our pets are our fellow life travelers. We’re on dog #4 and had two kitties that have passed. All of them were rescues except for our current guy who’s about to turn 11.
I’d like to get another dog when he passes, but at 50 something, I’m just not sure. It makes me sad to think about it.
The best way to honor the life of a faithful companion who has given you unconditional love is to share your heart with another. Bringing a younger dog into your home to befriend an older one helps train the younger one and makes the passing of the older one a bit easier when there’s someone still there to feed and hug.
