This episode wasn’t the easiest story to share, but it’s an important piece of my journey up to this point and it played a pivotal role in the creation of this podcast. So I felt like it was important to share it with you.
But I wanted to give the disclaimer that this episode gets a little heavy because I’m talking about death and depression. I recognize that it may be triggering for some folks, so I just wanted to give you a heads up so you could decide if this is something you wanted to hear.
In this episode I'll introduce you to my soulmate dog, Julie. I'll share the story of how we met and fell in love, and I’ll tell you about the disease that took her life. I'll walk you through the depression I experienced in her absence and how the dog loving community around me helped to pull me out of the darkness and back into the light.
This episode dives into the complex experience of loving a dog and the heartache that follows the goodbyes that we all ultimately face in our journey with our dog. It’s a hard topic to approach, but it’s something that all dog parents will eventually experience and it’s an important conversation to have.
