My dog is going to die soon. I can’t stop crying about it every time I think about it. Is it wrong of me to cry more for my elderly dog than I did for my grandparents? I’ve had my dog for 7 years. She was 7 ½ when I got her from the Australian Shepherd Rescue. Her previous owner had died and she was in need of a new forever home.My breed research told me that I could expect her to live until she was around 12, giving me 5 years with her. I calculated how hold my then 1-year-old daughter would be and decided that 6 was an ok time to lose a first pet.
My daughter will be 9 next week. I’ll be 39 in two months. There’s no good age to lose a pet.
