Anticipatory grief refers to a feeling of grief occurring before an impending loss.
Ma**er the 3 legged Mastiff with epilepsy is 9 years old - Tino the 3 pound blind Chihuahua is close to 20 years old.
Both near the end of a good life. They have a unique bond. I know when one goes the other will not be far behind. I have tried to capture their life together always touching and looking for each other.

💔 No One Wants Bucky – He’s Too Old, Too Big – Now They’ve Left Him to Die

Bucky has spent 14 long years loving humans – but when he needed them most, they disappeared. 💔 Now, he waits in a cold shelter, confused and heartbroken. No one has come for him because he’s too old, too big, and no longer ‘cute’ enough for adoption. And now, time is up. He has been placed on the kill list, set to be euthanized unless a hero steps in. Will you be the one to save him? 😭

Bucky, a large, overweight Chihuahua mix, lays on a thin blue blanket, his body spilling over the edges. His eyes are filled with sadness and confusion, staring directly into the camera as if pleading for help. His ears are perked, but his expression shows defeat. The harsh sunlight highlights the sheen on his coat, but the rough pavement beneath him tells a different story—one of a once-loved dog now discarded. He doesn’t understand why he’s here.
