There’s nothing harder than anticipatory grief for a pet! I talked about anticipatory grief with the vet this week. She agreed she feels it too with her own pet, especially as they reach these later years. This last few months as Gus has been poorly and I’ve seen a real shift from the energetic, happy dog he used to be I’ve felt it more than ever. It’s the hardest part of owning a dog knowing they won’t be here forever BUT he’s still cracking on, making me smile and giving great snuggles and seems to be slowly recovering from the vestibular episode so we’re taking each day atm.
