Look at my baby 💜😍 She’s getting so old and grey 😭 She turned 12 today and I can’t even fathom how that’s possibly a reality. She’s in her old lady stage now where all she does 99.99% of the time is sleep and when she’s awake all she can do is groan and hobble around with her weak hips and she constantly walks like she’s got a sticker in her foot. But she’s still a puppy inside ready to sprint in circles anytime we go for walks. I feel so lucky that I’m getting to experience her aging with me and I’m able to be with her in her senior years, I’m just still heartbroken I never got that time with Tegan. Having an old dog is honestly so sweet even if it is a constant reminder of her mortality and the fact that all the time from this point forward is really just a gift. It just makes me feel the need to cherish every day with her more. Thinking about losing another dog though is pure hell. Why I thought adopting two dogs of the same age was a great idea without realizing they’d be dying in similar time frames is a mystery to me.
