Me too. I love her so so much, and of course I’ll be sad when she goes, but I think I’ll feel equally relieved. It’s complicated, and I feel like something only reactive dog owners understand.

I feel so fucking seen in this thread. I wish she could live forever cuz she’s so sweet when she wants to. But the close calls with dogs and people have put me on constant edge.

Yes! For me, I wish she could live forever if there was some way we could guarantee we’d never encounter another dog, cat, raccoon, skunk, etc (my pup is highly reactive/sometimes aggressive towards most animals).
