My corgi just turned 12 a couple of weeks ago. He seems pretty healthy, but I start getting uneasy when they reach that age.
I am sorry for his loss. I grieve the loss of my beloved dingo, Tippy. He died in 2004. I still get tears when I think of him.
I have a German Shepherd who will be 12 in October and I know she is nearing the end even though she is perfectly fine today. I have had 7 of these wonderful pets throughout my life and a greater more loyal friend I’ve never had.
I have been with each of them when their time came and it is something you never get used to. I always think it cannot be any worse than the last time but somehow it always is. Still, I would never let them go without being there to hold them in my arms as they slipped away.
