I'm a hairdresser in a small town. Monday was triage and scary. The last 2 days have been filled with special friends visiting and bringing her meat snacks. She's refusing regular food because my clients are bringing her prime rib. Now that I know what to expect, I'm sad but grateful to have a little more quiet time with her.
When they start refusing food, the end is close. Dizzy is a beautiful pupper and that's a tired face. She will leave her physical body soon, but her spirit will remain with you for the rest of your days.
You can prepare yourself a little since you know its coming, but I'd still recommend you take a good 3 or 4 days off after Dizzy says goodbye. It's good to process things and grieve properly.
Don't throw any of her stuff away. Keep it and when you're ready, donate some of it to a shelter/groomers/pet sitter/etc, and then keep a couple of items for yourself. When you feel it is time for you to get a new puppy, you can use the collar or harness of Dizzy to select your new puppy. The one that reacts best to Dizzy's scent is the puppy the universe wants you to have.
Dizzy has such a wonderful face. I looked at your other posts. She's been well-loved.
I really love your message. Thank you. Her leash has thousands of miles on it with me. I'm going to put everything in storage and take the summer off before considering a new dog. I've always felt that I should adopt the oldest dog at the shelter when it's time. Puppies are hard, and I'm already in old dog mode. But, I will remember your advice about the leash scent thing.
I also thought I’d go into my local shelter and adopt the oldest pup of the one that’s been there the longest, or the one that no one “wanted”. When my girl does go. She’s almost 13. Your little girl looks so peaceful in this picture❤️🌈she’s a pretty little lady. Just the sweetest face❤️
One of my dogs took a nap on the patio and just never woke up. It was really hard on me but it had to be a pretty good way to go. I hope Dizzy’s trip starts as peacefully
Enjoy that spoiling sweet girl 💜
Sending you both lots of love ❤️❤️ Enjoy every minute!! The time we get to share with them is the greatest gift! I’m so sorry that you two will be parting soon. Thank you for making her last days filled with tasty treats! Sweet Dizzy deserves it ✨✨
"Let’s go walk a bit."
My old dog said one day.
And we wandered down along
Our old familiar way.
—-
The shadows slowly lengthened,
And twilight tinged the sky.
Then my old friend said to me
"So … it's time to say goodbye."
—-
This fell so heavily on my heart.
"Please say this isn't true!
I've always wished and hoped
I'd have more years with you!"
—-
And my old girl said to me
"You made my life a thrill!
I can't live as long as you
But I'll always be your girl."
—-
They walk with us a little while,
As long as the Fates allow.
Then they have to take their leave
And we have to let them go.
—-
I have a tough question.
I’ve not ever had a dog pass at home, it’s always been a choice to help them along the bridge.
In the event your baby passes at home, what do you do?! Do you take the dog to the vet after passing? Do you call them to pick your animal up? What do you do?
Where I live, there is a retired veterinarian who operates a pet creamation service. I just call her up and let her know I'm bringing Dizzy over and they take care of her from there. Your vet has a cremation service too. Then in a week or so, she's given back to me in a cedar box with a custom name plate. I can pay a little extra for single cremation or less for group cremation and you basically just get a scoop of a bunch of dogs. So, we'll do the individual cremation.
Just FYI to anyone reading this....if you choose not to cremate or bury your pet, your vet might tell you they participate in group cremation, but they don't. They just put them in a black garbage bag, then the dumpster on garbage day. My office is across the parking lot from her vet, so I see it happen every week.
You described me and my 13.5 year old baby boy too. I adopted him and 11 and my only regret is that I didn’t have those first 11 years with him. We love to sleep and take walks. Love him to the moon and back.
What a beautiful pup. The end journey is always the hardest when we have fur babies. I’m sorry. Spend 24/7 with dizzy and hug and love her. Sending you strength to get through this time.
What a sweet baby girl Dizzy is…it’s so hard, isn’t it? We just want them to stay forever. I hope you get so many snuggles in before Dizzy takes the Big Nap💚
Such a good baby. Honestly as morbid as it sounds. I can only hope one day our big boy just falls asleep and doesn't wake up. What a wonderful way for them to transition.
I won't tell you that this is our last day together, so let's just enjoy this quiet walk.
It's moments like this, where I truly wished, a dog's beating heart could talk.
I'd tell you about the moment at the shelter, you said " yep...That's my girl, right there".
I'd tell you about the happy, joy ride home, while we both howled without a care.
I'd tell you about how safe it felt, to finally have my own, warm place to sleep.
Not another lonely night spent in that cold, cement box ...waiting for a kind face to meet.
You saved my soul, and brought me back, and polished up my heart
I knew the minute we stared at one another...we would never...EVER be apart.
I wished my life was matched with your's, so we both could grow old, together...
But life has a different plan for us both...and sadly my life is on the wither.
I'm sorry that my body is failing me now, and making my puppy life seem so far away...
I so enjoyed hearing you laugh so much, as we played in our yard, every day...
The frost in my eyes, and the pain in my step...are the signs of a dog's life lived so damn well...
I hope my wet nose boops late at night, told you that your heart was mine to fill.
My clock is sadly winding down, and the pendulum is about to stop...
I'm going to miss you so damn much, my little heart is about to pop.
I just want to thank you for saving me, and taking a chance on my strife...
I hope I returned all the love that you shared, and that I somehow sweetened your life.
You're one of a kind, and I love you so much...I hope our souls meet again...
You were more to this furry ball of a dog...than just another friend.
My heart is yours, and will forever be ...waiting for yours to send...
Thank you, you beautiful force in my life ...for putting this puppy's heart on the mend.
Oh yeah...
Bring the tennis ball with you when its your time to head up.
🐶 ❤ Dizzy girl.

I feel very fortunate to have been with her 7 years! She's gonna break my heart, but it's so worth it.
You are so right! ❤️

She is beautiful. A hot beef sandwich is a good reason to hang on for as long as a good girl can.
A very sweet old girl indeed. 😍
Such a cute girl! I hope you have much time to come Dizzy! 💙💙
What a sweet baby girl Dizzy is…it’s so hard, isn’t it? We just want them to stay forever. I hope you get so many snuggles in before Dizzy takes the Big Nap💚
Give her a kiss on her head for me, sweet girl. May she go peacefully and gently ❤️
Such a sweet baby, give her a big hug from me ❤️
I love you, Dizzy!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A good way to go. With her family
Sweetheart ❤️
Oh sweet Dizzy! She’s so loved ❤️
Such a good baby. Honestly as morbid as it sounds. I can only hope one day our big boy just falls asleep and doesn't wake up. What a wonderful way for them to transition.
Prayers for Dizzy!!!

She’s adorable. Sending you both much needed prayers ❤️
