Dizzy seems to be a bit quiet today she doesn”t want to go for a walk but then it’s raining and she hates the rain, what she does want to do is cuddle and cuddle we will. She just loves people these days and seems to want to go everywhere as a family and hates either of us to stay home when she goes for a walk.
The foster dog has found a home to go to so she has less competition for for attention. When i get home from work she is so happy and waggy it just lifts my heart.
I worry everyday that the end isn’t far away (sure lots of us do that have dogs with cancer) each extra day she is with us and pain free is a blessing that I am thankful for.
Awww, Dizzy- soak up the love. I experience the same worries as you (I try to put them out of my mind, but somedays are harder than others). It does make it easy to enjoy every single day though, because you see how happy your dog is to live in the moment. Hopefully it will stop raining and Dizzy will perk up.
“each extra day she is with us and pain free is a blessing that I am thankful for. ”
and that’s what we all need to focus on. keep enjoying the moments and see the good in the rain (more snuggles…).

It’s hard not to worry. Seeing your beloved pup go through so much pain and struggle is difficult, and then to have the constant reminder (in the form of their three-leggedness) of the fact that they are sick every time you look at them…. It’s hard not to think about how much time may be remaining. (Compounded by the fact that its raining on one of the last remaining days of summer… Ugh! That’s depressing by itself!)
But, your pup doesn’t know she is sick, and doesn’t have any fear for “the end;” it doesn’t even occur to her. She’s just enjoying some cuddle time with her people, and that makes it a GREAT day!
Enjoy the cuddle time. Enjoy the moment!

Happy and waggy is a good thing! Focus on that and enjoy every moment to the fullest. Forget that silly human worry business, or Dizzy will pick up on your vibe and follow your lead.
Carpé Dawg! 🙂
