Poor little fella was just scared cause he didn’t realize what was going on.

I had to VERY unexpectedly put mine down on Easter Sunday a few weeks ago due to surgery complications, and the fear + the way she looked that day will haunt me until I die. My fluffy girl's fur was hard, damp, and thin from her spending several days in the hospital and undergoing surgery. She was terrified, and she almost seemed to not know who I was? I don't know how to explain it.

I tear up if not outright cry every day.

She was my little mini bride while us ladies got ready at home before heading to the venue on my wedding day last year:

I had to put my dachshund to sleep in 2009 (fluid around heart) and it took me until June 2023 to decide to get another dog. I was legit depressed for two weeks and didn't want to talk to anyone. Never would've thought it would be that hard to overcome.

Yes! Everyone is different, but I'm not entertaining the idea for a few years. I can't do it.
