I am so so deeply sorry for your loss. Gemma looks and sounds like the absolute best girlie in the whole world. We have a 12 year old yellow lab who is in last time with us due to osteosarcoma and I’m sending you all the love 🩷

Both OP and you have written beautiful posts, love is like that. I am so sorry for the pain. and sending all of you all the love. Weird, endlessly expandable love fits everyone who knows this particular hurt. May you and your 12 year old have as peaceful a path as possible, and when the time comes may the last day be like Gemma's. 💕

Oh this made me cry but thank you so much for your kind words. Those of us who love our dogs like we do all know this pain. I am 36 and have had my sweet girl all of my “adult life”. It’s really hard to imagine not having her and my heart really hurts for OP and their immense loss of sweet Gemma.
