It must have been so comforting to know your dog had a loving home when you pass away.

@greggoodman4335 6 месяцев назад

Yep. I'm not even sure she realizes how much peace of mind she gave her neighbor by agreeing to take care of the dog. To know that your pet won't feel abandoned after your passing is such a gift.

@MsSpike5 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely! I would "rest easy" if I knew that my beloved dog was going to be loved and cared for after I passed.

My mom just passed away on Saturday. I have had her dog for the last year while my mother was ill. She is my dog now. It brought my mom comfort to know I would take care of her dog. My mom was on hospice since December. I was able to bring her dog 2 days before she passed away, while she was still aware. Not long after, she stopped responding. I love this story about Gaia. ❤

I was a caregiver to a sweet gentleman with Alzheimer’s and dementia. He loved the visits even more when I would bring my Minpin with me. After he passed, the family decided to use a picture of him and me and my little dog sitting in his lap for his obituary. He was happy and smiling and that’s the way I want to remember them both now. I said my last goodbye to her yesterday, and hope that she and Mr. Charles are together again, smiling. RiP Penny

@Spoopball 6 месяцев назад

I don't recall the whole story but there was a person who got a dog for their mom when the mom got alzheimer's. The mom forgets the dog every time it comes over, but falls in love with the dog "for the first time". Obviously the dog is just happy to spend more time with the mom, every time it comes over.

There’s a channel called The Mellor Family. They have a 3 year old child who is medically complex and physically challenged but has come a long way in his lifetime. A week or so ago they got a dachshund puppy and that puppy has immediately and completely bonded with Peter. It’s beautiful and heartwarming to see their connection. Thank you for this story about another amazing dog and especially that he is an older dog. So many times the old ones are the last to be adopted from a shelter but they still have lots of love, companionship and support to give someone who will do the same for them.

I have HUGE respect and thankfulness to those who work for hospice. I lost both of my parents in 2023 to advanced dementia after seven years of caring for them, and watching 24/7 what that disease does to a person. Hospice was just awesome to my brother and me. They treated both of my parents with respect and dignity at the end of their time here. They weren't just a number, or a name on a chart that one often sees when in the hospital. Tip of the cap to those who work for hospice and thank you for your kindness during families' darkest times. And, thanks to that pooch.

The 2 of them complements each other so well and brings joy to a lot of people going through a difficult time.
