What a blessing! My / Brezel's "old" vet retired last January: too much bureaucracy kind of ruining the small vet offices... A very kind, picture book-like lady, my dog just adores her. She offered, when in need and when no surgery or hefty medication would be called for, she would be always available for / to us. Brezel has since end of January a tiny little black spot on her left front leg. I thought it would be too early for a tic (and checked with my fortifying glass... was no tic). Maybe an ingrown thorn, a little injury... but it looks still funny to me. So one call and she made time for us today... My sweet terrier so far was never injured or sick and having a to see a treatment by a vet, so... we cross fingers, that it is "nothing". And so hopefully it will be just a nice call to this lady, usually we get to chitchat and exchange nice ideas. I am so happy, she is how and where she is... I do not know about vets in the UK or in Italy or the US etc., wherever you are with your pets on this globe. Here it gets more and more "factory like", extremely expensive in comparison to just 3 or 4 years ago, most little offices geht bought by large investment groups and they tell "their vets" how much revenue has to be produced... period. Not so romantic anymore... Wishing you all a great day, XX

Firstly, I just wanted to say I’m really sorry for being so quiet and a bit absent lately. I’ve been taking some time for myself after losing my beautiful Honey. It’s been a lot to process, and honestly, I’ve just been taking things very slowly and gently. I’ve been feeling really down and quite heartbroken, if I’m honest. She meant so much to me, and the space she’s left behind feels huge. At the same time, I keep trying to hold onto how grateful I am that I got to have her in my life at all. She gave me so much love, and I know how lucky I was to have that. I haven’t really felt up to writing or thinking too much about anything lately—my head’s just been a bit all over the place. I hope that makes sense. I’ve also been wondering how other people get through losing a pet like this. Do you have any ways of coping that helped you? Any little rituals or things you did to remember them or make it easier? I’d really appreciate hearing anything that helped, even small things. Thank you all for understanding and for being patient with me 🤍
