Between struggling with people saying things like, “Stop crying, it was just a dog” and the utter guilt you feel when having to decide if it is the right time to let your pet go, it truly is emotional chaos.   In this episode of Straight Up Dog Talk, Ness graciously shares the story of the loss of her beloved dog Rex. She shares Rex’s story with joy, guilt, and tears. Ness navigates us through her decision to humanely euthanize her best friend in her home and why.   Losing our dogs is one of the most difficult things we must navigate as dog owners. Straight Up Dog Talk wants to normalize talking about our loss and truly processing. Please reach out to Em, Ness or connect with others on our Discord Community. No one should have to go through the loss of their pet alone.   Follow Ness on Instagram and TikTok :theplantnessmonster    For Information about In-Home Euthanasia in your area click here: https://www.inhomepeteuthanasia.com/
