Your post was so timely. We just lost our almost 19 yo dachshund a week ago. Thank you so much for you inspiring words.

Serena, I'm so sorry about your pupper. They live such short little lives, but they give us more love than ten lifetimes in that span. 19 is an impressive age. Sign of a well-loved baby.

So beautiful! Your words struck me hard today, as someone who's been dealing with health anxiety the last couple of years. Hopefully they continue running through my anxiety brain and make it back off.
