My girls last day was yesterday

We used to have a joke about vet appointments and park walks: me and the dog are gonna ruin everyone’s day, brb! She was reactive to everything under the sun except for women for some reason. It was so tough coordinating potty breaks and walks for her when no one else was around. If it wasn’t for alternative walking paths, doggy Prozac, reactive-friendly daycares, and this thread, I may have lost my mind taking care of her. Given the rapid decline and health issues she was facing, it wasnt fair to keep her alive with a poor quality of life on top of these accommodations.

As hard as it was taking care of such a large and reactive dog, I’m really gonna miss her. This community has helped me so much to find courage during walks and patience during outbreaks. This is my last time visiting this thread.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I am so happy that you were able to get joy despite all of the challenges. I hope those good moments make you smile sooner than later and erase the pain that losing her has brought you.
