Not today, Soleil! If it were 29 degrees Fahrenheit instead of 29 degrees Celsius, I would let you sit on my lap.

No excuse to NOT be there for them.

Even if it's hard, it's important 🙏❤️🙏
It turns out pets also have last wishes before they d.i.e, but that's only known to vets who euthanize old and sick animals Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what the hardest thing about his job was.
The specialist replied without hesitation that the most difficult thing for him was to see old or sick animals searching for their owners before they fell asleep. In fact, 90% of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying pet. People walk to avoid seeing their animal walk. But they don't realize that in these last moments of life, their pet needs them the most.
Veterinarians ask owners to be close to the animals until the end. "It is inevitable that they will die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of her life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. Even if it's difficult, don't leave her.
Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see pets failing to find their owners in the last minutes of their lives. They don't understand why their master left them. After all, they needed the comfort of their Lord.
Veterinarians do everything so that the animals are not so afraid, but they are completely alien to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think of the animal. Bear this pain for her sake. Be with them to the end."
Animals Are Life

Memorial Day holiday 2017: I drove for two and a half days to southwest Colorado to meet this 17-month-old Pyr Shep who had been living on a beautiful ranch with her breeder, Christine Sapa. This photo was taken after our two and a half day road trip back to Ohio.

She passed all her health tests, then learned the conformation game and finished her AKC championship. She retired from showing and produced five beautiful litters of puppies sired by the best dogs I could find for her. Her puppies have gone to homes across the US to be beloved pets, champions, performance dogs, and excellent producers in their own rights. Now retired from everything but photo shoots and lounging in the yard, CH Soleil de Minuit d'Appian Way ROM-X has earned her place in history.
