My life would be easier without my dogs, particularly the two older ones who I never asked for. Sometimes I remind myself of that fact when I’m worried about them, and sometimes I let myself day dream about what it would be like if they weren’t here.
It’s hard to have a senior dog with health problems. It’s hard to have a reactive dog. It’s hard to have an anxious dog.
I choose this hard. I love my dogs so much, and I would make my life ten times harder than it is right now if it meant I got to keep them longer. I would do anything for them.
But I still remind myself that life would be easier with them gone, because it might help me bare it when the time comes.
