As a toy poodle parent, this—the mini LL Bean suitcase, cutting up expensive health food chicken, contemplating dog aging and death—made me genuinely emotional.
Dear Viv! In my imagination, you read me this article while my affectionate cat Buttermilk tried to eat my lunch (pulled pork bread pudding and a Braeburn apple). Knowing that you are the emotional pawn of your portable poodle brought all the feelings to the fore.
Dogs are the best and the hardest thing since we don’t get nearly enough time with them. I’m so glad you had a good trip with Maggi, she’s precious. The senior dog rescue I volunteer at always gives me hope - I’ve walked so many elderly dogs over the years that have great energy and lots of joy, even with health issues. Wishing Maggi eight more happy years ✨
I loved this!! I’m a nomad with a cat, so the traveling craziness is real! I had to laugh because I’ve been juggling all our stuff in my suitcase and bags, and I had the thought yesterday that I needed to get him his own suitcase🤣He had a litter mate who I was planning to do this adventure lifestyle with. They were both 2 at the time and his litter mate passed away unexpectedly. I thought I had all the time in the world to show them the world and that made me realize I really didn’t. Life is so fleeting, and I’m so glad you made this choice for you and Maggi🩷
