Been a rough 2025 and Saturday I had to say goodbye to my 2nd pup in 9 months this time a constant companion and best buddy. She was my best girl and I’m lost without her.

Sometimes Claire shows a feistiness, it’s not often because of her age but it is sweet and warms my heart.

Question dog owners, when you decide to euthanize for old age or quality of life, do you stay with him/her while they pass or not? No right/wrong answer, no judgment. I’m generally curious of others experience.
Ashes or not.
I’ve stayed & no.

This hits home as I look at Claire. Enjoy every minute of their short lifespan.

Current view.
#winter arrived overnight ❄️

She was a sweet soul who everyone loved. Mara had a horrible beginning in life, abused, starved & sickly. Once part of the pack she healed and was an absolute joy. Only had her for 5 years, lost her in August. So unfair to her, loved her dearly.

Claire’s favorite place to be is out in the front yard. She’s 13+ and her body doesn’t move the way she used to, she wobbles and is a bit unsteady on her paws. It’s hard when our dogs get in the twilight of life.
