Said Goodbye to My Furry Best Friend

Yesterday, I had to make the call every pet owner dreads. My dog Max, who’s been my shadow for over a decade, was just tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes, but the deep, bone-level exhaustion that comes with age and illness. I held his paw, tried to crack a joke about how he always stole my socks, and then just cried like a kid. It’s wild how empty a house can feel without the click-clack of paws or the sound of a tail thumping against the wall. If you’ve ever lost a pet, you know the weird mix of relief (they’re not suffering) and heartbreak (you’re the one suffering now). Hug your pets extra tight tonight. They’re never here long enough. #PetLoss #GoodbyeFurryFriend #DogLove #Pets
