Trigger warning: loss of a pet. / I hope that this

Trigger warning: loss of a pet. / I hope that this image evokes feelings of love because love is what you’re seeing exchanged here. ❤️

We said good bye to our angel baby, as my husband liked to call her, yesterday at the age of 15 and a half. Storm quite literally introduced herself to us at a party almost 11 years ago, with overgrown claws, dirty long fur, and a pretty stubborn case of anxiety. Through working with and caring for our sweetheart we have learned so much about love, mental health and putting others first. She was loved by so many, not in the least because of her adorable beard and jack-Russell-meets-mini-schnauzer personality (I mean 👀❤️).

It’s been about four months of palliative care for our sweet girl, who most likely was suffering from a brain tumor or cancer, but the diagnostic process was not worth the trauma given her medical history. As hard as this last phase was, we are so profoundly grateful to have had this time as a family together. Today, we are sad, but as I keep reminding myself as the inevitable waves of sadness wash over me, I take true comfort in knowing we shepherded our sweet girl to the rainbow bridge with dignity, peace and comfort.

The most love and thanks are owed to our emergency & neuro vet, Premier Veterinary Group, and our primary vet/groomer/boarder @yourpetswellnessofficial. I don’t know how to communicate how kind the staff were with us, juggling pandemic concerns and teaching us how to care for Storm in her final months.

Her brother Woodrow is doing well, if a little confused at the change in routine right now. He’s not bothered at the increased frequency of meat treats and neck scritches, and he is often providing much needed comedic relief via old dog farts. ❤️💛💙

Feeling particularly chuffed at this outfit because it lets this vintage chunky intarsia sweater shine in its intended, Lebowski-esque glory. / what I’m wearing: men’s sweatpants (the POCKETS are HUGE), slippers, and an oversized shawl collar cardigan featuring 2 moose motifs. Swipe for the front & buttons. Found on @etsy vintage.

What do you think of my very strong style game today? 😜😎#lockdownlewks #vintagehandmade

P.S. If you haven’t been following along, I have an elderly dog and sometimes sleeping on the couch is necessary for taking care of her. So we have a sleeping bag and pillow on our couch these days - Just a slice of life detail that I decided not to hide since it’s real, plus I like the colors & camping vibe it added to this shot. 😂🏕
