As a dog walker, I thought it was a good idea to do a pet bereavement course a few months back. I did it thinking I wouldn't have to use or deal with that side of things for a long time. Unfortunately,  I was wrong.  Over the last few weeks two of our valued Muddy Paws Adventures family members have gone over the rainbow bridge. To say it was a shock is an understatement. I am absolutely devastated that Fergus and Laddie are no longer with us and miss them both terribly. We have had so many good times and I will always cherish those memories. Did the pet bereavement course help? Honestly? No, no it didn't but only because I'm too emotionally involved with the dogs in my care. I crumbled and cried with the families, I felt their pain, I felt their loss, I felt their turmoil in the decision they were faced with.

My heart goes out to Fergus and Laddie's families. I know they are heartbroken to lose their beloved pets. My thoughts are always with them.
