Saying Goodbye to a Dog: The Parts We Don't Talk About

As dog lovers and dog parents, there's a part of life with our dogs that we really don't want to talk about. But it is inevitable—the day we have to say goodbye.

I recently went through this with our dog, Harley, and I shared parts of the experience on the Forging Bonds social media page. But it's now been 2 weeks since that day and there's so much more to say.

Unlike most of my other blog posts, this isn't an instructional post. I don't have the answers. What I want to share are some of the challenges that don't have easy solutions, starting with what it's like to watch a beloved dog go downhill.
