I am posting this because this is where people understand, I have nowhere else to feel heard. I’m in shock, my spouse is in denial. Our otherwise happy, energetic husky has been given a terminal diagnosis due to a mast cell tumor that appeared and enlarged suddenly on his neck. He has two husky brothers and they are our children. I have not been fully honest with my spouse about the diagnosis because it will be so hard on him, but have told him that we are on borrowed time and will break the news in the next few days. How do we plan on his final vet visit, is Friday better before the weekend so we can recover? Monday so we have the weekend to spend with him? An at home good bye is not what we want, the house will never feel the same.
Trying to figure out how to cancel important meetings this week with people who don’t understand the impact this has. We’ve lost dogs before but this is especially difficult. Our pack is broken. I just want to curl into a ball and cry.
