You just broke my heart. My chihuahua, Chico is 16. A year ago he had a heart attack. The vet gave us drugs for congestive heart failure. However, I noticed that the medication bloats him up and he has trouble even walking. In this case, we quit the meds, and now.... Well, when it is hot outside (we live in Malta) Chico has what I call mini heart attacks. He collapses on the floor and I carry a bottle of water with me to pour over him when he does, pick him up, shake him, and pray he will come around.
We now also have a routine where at night at around 4am, he tries to wake me up to go for a pee, but then gives up, jumps off the bed, trots to the bathroom, and pees in the shower. I did not train him to do this. He somehow figured out for himself that if he has to go in the house, that place is the bathroom. I did used to take him out at 4am when he wakes me up, but now I want him to know that it is okay to do what he does which is why I don't.
Every day we are still together, we have at least an hour where we lie in bed or on the sofa, and I tell him I love him and tell him what an impact he has had on my life while he is resting his head on my arm and I am stroking him. The fact that I know he is ignorant to things like the toll of time is both beautiful, but horrendous. I know he doesn't realize that we won't be together one day soon, and I love this because I would never want him to know, but because I know, it hurts to the point that I am looking through tear-blurred eyes while writing this.
A dog really is the best friend. God Bless.
I can relate.
All my dogs are 14yrs old now.
Two Siberian huskies and small Lhasa Apso. Two elderly cats 15 and 14yrs old. I'm blessed that they are still healthy my babies. They are so sweet
Tomorrow will be 8 years since we had to say goodbye to our beloved Cali. She was at least 21 years old.
We still miss her dearly and spoil her little brother Smokey as much as we did her. He's now about 17.
❤️❤️❤️ elderly animals are so great... I've lost mine when she was 21 years old kitty,I took her in my arms to her litter box, I fed her...when she went away I adopted new poor kitties,not to fill out emptyness but to continue giving all that love I had in me. They are all angels on earth, that's pity that not everyone see them this way. ❤️
I love the stories you tell, I love you for what you do for these animals. You have a very soothing voice and the feeling you hear in it is so meaningful. You are a very articulate person and know exactly how to express what you feel in your heart. I am 75 now and in a place where I am unable to have anymore pets and I cry just wanting to have the comfort that a pet gives your heart. May God bless you forever and always for your big heart and and the love you have for these furry babies. Lots of love being sent your way and thank you again for what you do.
Thank you 😊
WOW! What a beautiful message Patricia. I was on the brink of tears after listening to Valia's incredible 'poetry' read in her soothing, loving voice ... but now ... you've made them flow!
God bless you dear soul. 🙏🤗🥰
The hardest thing we do is to say goodbye. You did it beautifully and lovingly Valia 🖤🤍
This video is a work of art. Thanks Valia.
I had an elderly cat, and I have to admit that I knew nothing about geriatric pets. I made a lot of mistakes, I now know.
Then I adopted an elderly dog - I am an elderly person and I believe that we shouldn't get puppies, since we will die sooner and leave them alone, which was exactly what happened to Betsey - and I didn't know much more about geriatric pets than I did before. I learned a lot from my mistakes - Thanks, Betsey, and Sorry - like not knowing that when she staggered a little bit, she was having a tiny seizure. It wasn't until she had a grand mal seizure that I put two and two together.
Yes, she peed in the house. I put down puppy pads. She wouldn't eat dog food, partly because her original owners had let her eat off their plates. Eventually she only ate human food from my plate, and I did let her do that. It was practically the only way I could get her to eat. I spoiled her rotten. And I don't care: I got her with the idea that I would make her last days as happy as I could, and spoiling her was part of the deal.
I'm happy that there is somewhere I can talk about this, Valia.
She might have been older than the foster mom who gave her to me knew. She was supposed to be ten or eleven years old at the last, but I think that she was more like thirteen from the way she was.
Betsey was a socialite, too.
Valia, you bring us into the most heart breaking times of life, with such compassion and understanding. You give us a soft place to land with your stories, your life and your love. If ever we need an example of how to walk these times with our own, we look to you. You are so cherished, Valia, far more than you know.
God bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you.
What a lovely tribute. You can see in her eyes how much she adored you. I do believe dogs know more about life and death than we give them credit for. "Man's Best Friend" is a tremendous understatement. ❤️
I can so relate. I have had 3 cats w/kidney disease & a dog w/cancer. My last cat had kidney/thyroid disease. She lived to be 19. Her last yr was hard. She's now been gone for almost 2 yrs. Miss her every day still. So weird not to have a fur baby in my life........some day soon I hope that will change :-). Thank you for sharing this journey, I know it will help so many as their beloved pets age. xo
Im so happy he has such a great mother like you. You are such a blessing to these wonderful creatures.
My sweet rescue dog found me when she was 3 years old, in June she will be 16 years old ... I hope to have her many more months ... she is my everything ... thanks for all you do, Valia ...
Such a beautiful testament. Mahalo to you for sharing it with all of us.
It's so hard watching them get older. If only we could rewind the clock so they can stay young.
Happy Mothers day Valia, it's so good to hear your story as always, I can relate!! Thank you and many blessings!! USA!!💛❤💜💙💚
Of course she would choose you again. You are the center of her life.
More important than food, toys, or her bed ... as long as mommy is there, nothing else matters, and all is good.
I love your stories I feel like I'm there in it..you feel the heartbrake and love you have for Laura.. Our dog where never sick in her 9 years she was than one day she got a very high fever and a couple of days later we got the news that she had lymphoma cancer and 1 week later she was gone..
Be blessed Valia 🙏
Valia...We need more people like you for this World become a better place !! You speak from the deepest of the poetry of the heart, you listen from that place too. !!! Few people can express feelings and thoughts to reach out like you, and touch others souls.
This story is beautiful and has given me some comfort along with the sadness that comes from losing a four legged family member. Just last week I had to say my last goodbye to my little girl who was 18 years. Your story is so true. My Jessie had a bit of dementia and nearly two years ago, especially the last year had changed from the dog she used to be. You spoke about the guilt looking back and wishing you could do some things differently. You spoke about the false hope that this was just the new norm when there isn’t going to be any again. It’s during these final months you get even closer as they go back through those puppy-like stages. Thank you for sharing your story about your dear fur baby and your experience caring for her. 💖
Thank you. I'm sorry about the loss of your girl. 🖤
My 14 yr old dog had a spinal stroke (FCE). .....after that kidney failure set in quickly. She passed at nearly 15.
Lost my little girl to kidney failure a year and a half ago. I fought it hard, asked God to take 10 years from me and give them to her. I meant every word of it. I still cry, but also remember all the great times we had together. My little Min Pin will be at the bridge waiting for me.
Beautiful story as usual. Yes I’m crying again, always do with your heart felt videos. I have elderly pets too. I also can relate to this so deeply. Thank you Valia. ❤️
My best friend was only 9,5 years old when she fell ill 2 months ago. She could not be saved. I understand fully how you feel.
At 66 years of age I have to consider if I take in a young cat or dog if I will lose my ability to take care of them when they reach their senior years.
I am afraid that I will pass away and leave them abandoned, so I only adopt senior dogs and cats. It's hard to lose them for us, but they lose their whole world if they lose us.
I know that Valia has put a great deal of work into caring for her senior dog, but it doesn't have to be that complicated. You can do it! I adopted my late elderly dog in my 70s.
Many shelters and rescues would be very happy to have you open your home to foster dogs or cats too. Usually all of the Vet care and often food is supplied too. You're younger than you think. ☺️
It does matter.
I am an older person, no it doesn't get better but good days and bad days.
You have done your blummin best.
Remember how much Laura loved your Nana x
I'm trying to keep the ads on in case it gives money to your channel but the ads are trivial compared to what you are saying.
I actually can't watch the rest of this because I am going to cry cry cry.
Had to take my Mabster to the vet for the final curtain recently. Had to do it but feel TERRIBLE, we'd done everything I could when she became ill three months before her demise,
OF COURSE SHE WOULD CHOOSE YOU, VALIA. 💗💗💗💗💕💕💕💕💕
Oh man I was crying the whole way thru . You are the best storyteller ever. The empath in me is a mess😢. I felt all of it.
I'm 60 and have had dogs since I was 6 months old. Last year I lost my once in a lifetime love of my life,my soul mate. My dog Honey. It'll be one year in June. I knew it would be hard to let her go, but I feared I would not recover when she did leave. It has been wrenching, and I will never recover from losing her. But, having her and the incredible bond we shared and the incredible way she loved me has changed something deep in me for the better. My life was deeper and richer and happier and more joyful when she was here, and healthy, but she gave me something I can't explain,. That something that dogs always give us, but that doesn't always change us. This time that love did. She filled something in me. I had her 12 years, we estimated she was 2-3 when I found her. That's a good long life for a large dog, a golden retriever siberian husky mix, but of course it was not long enough. It never is.
No Vanya, dogs are ALWAYS better than us. Always. God made them that way so we could have something with skin on to show us what unconditional love looks like. And to give us something to strive for. Humans are the worst creations in this world,but God has had mercy on us, and given us dogs. Besides his own son. Dogs are pure. And simple. Someone to remind us how we should be. And for that I am beyond grateful. As I am for your incredible gift of storytelling.
May your time from here forward with your beloved girl be very special. And when that day does come, just know it will be harder than you think. And that's okay. Many of us have gone down that road countless times. It's horrible,but we learned it was worth that price to have that love in our lives and we can never be without it again.
Thank you for all you do for the animals 💜💜💜
A love letter to Laura and a story any pet parent can sadly relate 😪
So beautiful, thank you.❤️
I recently lost one of my babies, the Vet said I should let him go as his heart was making him suffer. He is no longer suffering, I miss him so much as they take a piece of your heart. RIP Ruffixxxxxxxxxxxx
This hit really close to home. Our Chihuahua is 11. She’ll be 12 in Oct. 2021. Obviously a senior. But I’m in denial. “Age is just a number.” I say to myself. My brain in a constant battle with that phrase when I see her back legs not as strong as they once were on her potty walks. Her inability to run like she used to when she was 2 or 3. She is still pretty healthy. I take numerous photos of her now that may have seemed silly back then. But, like you, wanting to document more and more of her life. For my own benefit, of course. And sanity, or at the very least, tools to use in the future to ease the pain when she is gone. Your line, “These late night pee breaks, so inconvenient, hated yet so loved, in a way, because they mark X number of days together.” I treasure every day we end together as she gets in her bed. Thank you for posting this. There are millions of us that understand.
Again, Valia is able to articulate those feelings many of us have but cannot find the words to express. Valia is a master story teller, poet, hero, human.
Valia Happy Mothers Day my sweet lovely friend. You've done your very very best every step of the way. When my beloved dog passed away 5 years ago, April 21st, I felt all the things you are feeling & going through. I didn't have weeks or months to say good bye, only 10 short days. Austin had cancer on his brain stem. Don't feel guilt, we all would do things differently if we knew exactly what our future held. Your older and wiser now. As I've suggested before, I will again simply cherish the memories. Sending you love and best wishes. With a I'm sorry you have to go thru this painful experience. Lastly sending you a long distance hug from Pennsylvania USA. Be gentle on yourself, again you've done your very best along the way❤🐾💜🙏
🐾🐾🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🐕
You speak eloquently for all of us that have cherished our senior dogs.
This is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, Valia! I relate very much as I have a 16 year old cat who already has “new normals’ of medicine and special food and more. He has slowed down and I hold on all the more. Thank you for the love you share with us.
I am going to say this and I really really mean no harm or offense. I had an elderly blue heeler that had a stroke and leeked all the time afterwards. I got a harness and diaper pins and it took several purchases to find the right size of pull up diaper and it turned out to be small for an adult incontinent elderly and I would pin a pull up diaper to a harness. My Blue had congestive heart failure and the vet put him on a high dose of lasix and I slept on the couch in the living room so that he could sleep on his bed right by me and be right by his dog door so he could have his pride and make it. There are many tears with these memories of my elderly babies. So I hope it helps that's my goal.
Hola Valia hermosa🥰❤🙋♀️!!!! Tanto tiempo!!! Este es el tuyo..no?? Es el viejito..es muy hermoso 🐶❤a pesar de todo espero que tenga buena salud y este mucho mas tiempo con vos..solo amor..te quiero!!!! Besitos🥰💞🐶🙋♀️❤❤💐😘😘🇦🇷
Dearest Valia, you spoil us with your high-quality videos!!!, the tears still remain. To tell you not to be afraid of the future can only be corroborated by the fact that this stage of Laura's live is the most valuable part of it - because of the bond, the extremely strong and closed bond between you. This is a great one itself. And yes, she would... She would choose this live, her live again and she would choose you, again and again and again...
This is perfect timing. Oh my did I cry. I’m dealing with the health of my 13 year old Tibetan spaniel Jelly. She is my second pet after losing my cavalier king Jello to cancer. We tried our best to save Jello but she passed during tumor surgery. Jelly looks similar to her. She made it alright. But now time has caught up with us. Jelly has an enlarged heart we have been watching for a few years. These past months her cough has gotten worse due to her esophagus. Now her stomach is bloated. The vet said we can start meds this week. I have recently spent 5G on tests, food, bloodwork. I don’t know if I can do this again. Thank you for your video. You have helped me decide that I can let her go. We went on a walk this evening. Her first walk in a year maybe. She had so much energy. I Miss that. I’ll let her go. It’s ok my mom will enjoy having her. Thank you. ❤️
I loved a dog named Harmony every day of the 14+ years she lived. It hurts. I love her still… and will always. Thank you, Vasiliki. 💜😷
Living in hope that your dog is not getting old is denying the gift they have been giving us.... My aunt have a Tibethan Spaniel, seventeen years old, she has lived through agressive cancer, full hysterectomy, she is totally death, almost blind, missing nearly all her teeth, but each and every day, every moment, is a cherished gift..... To loose your beloved is to loose a part of you, it is heartbreaking, but how could we keep on living without our memories? They will remain in our hearts forever, their gift of life will never be forgotten.... Because they are precious, they makes us grow, makes us hope...
Laura would choose you again and again and again...💖💖💖
Happy mother's day Valia, your love for animals is so strong, I'm amazed such a good heart you have.🥰😍😘
That was beautiful. You and Laura have a wonderful relationship. Thank you.
Beautiful Tribute ❤️🇬🇧❤️
Oh no. I am not sure I should watch all of this. My lovely cat passed away last Wednesday in my arms at the vets. She was 20. She developed cancer and nothing could be done. I recognise everything you say. The denial, the hope. There is a hole in my heart so huge and I have no idea how to make the pain stop. Worst of all my employer has me working from home, I am alone for several hours till my partner comes home. Thankfully I have my friends who are watching out for me and my partner has been amazing. But I miss my baby girl, nothing to hold, cuddle, throw my love at with nothing asked of me but simple love and care. She was my strength when my mental health was bad in the last year. She could not hurt me ever...until the end. I know she was suffering and I gave her my final act of love but......😪❤
This was a passionate and loving tribute to you and your elderly dog. We don't realise how the time passes and one day we turn around and it's 10/15 years later. She is just adorable how could you not spoil her at whatever age? I've been in the same position many times and it doesn't get any easier. I want to send you both love and blessings and ask God to comfort you for however much time you have left together. Love and light xx
You are such a beautiful person. So eloquent, so wise, so true. You taught me that dogs are NOT children. I have no children and would say, "My dogs are my children." But you taught me that dogs are magic and they are very different from humans. They have their ways and rules and temperaments. And one day you are going to have to give them back to God. I love you for that. Please keep filming!
Dear Valia, your beautiful words always echo in my heart. My old girl is past 17 and it took me a while to acknowledge her age and her needs. Cherish every second you have with Laura, she surely does❤️
I'TS SO NICE TO SEE, THIS SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN VALIA AND LAURA.🐕🐶🐕🐶😊😊⚘🌷⚘🌷
What a beautiful, stunning tribute.... you have such a way of telling a story, would she pick you again? Are you kidding - of course, a million times over. ❤️❤️❤️🐾 I so enjoyed this video, took me back to when I was caring for my old cat, kidney issues, just Minnie and I - and the routine..... 💗🐈
Thank you for your sharing Talia, so beautiful, sentimental and true .... Brings back wonderful memories of mine too .... God bless you and all your wonderful doggies who continue to bring love/hate, joy and beautiful memories. 🙏😇
Her name is Valia! ❤️
After listening to this video, I just want to kiss and hug my dog 🐕 and my 🐈 cat, may all the living,sentient beings feel the warmth and safety of a friend's ❤️ LOVE.
Ohhhh Valia, dear Valia....you share her looks ....which belongs only to you ......so deep emotions....thank you for it , Mirka
My first Pom lived to be 17 years old because I completely changed his diet to a holistic one. Hills Science Diet is one of the biggest offenders. Choosing to cook organic chicken, vegetables and brown rice plus noni juice as well as other holistic supplements to keep his immune system strong has helped significantly. Wish you and your beautiful fur baby the best .
I'am so happy she has you to love her.
I'm glad she found a good home so sad to here she was sick stay positive God bless you
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I rarely comment on videos….it’s hard to see my phone at the moment through so many tears but everything is fine for me as I have my 3 dogs with me. Valia, Lara is such a treasure those beautiful eyes of hers. Your stories inspire and touch so many! It’s so reassuring to know someone else loves their dogs as much as I love mine. Thoughts are with you and Lara.
Thank you
This a beautiful story of life with a fur baby.
Bless you for all your hard work! You have such an amazing way with words. Your videos are undeniably good. I believe that if you were to write a book it too would be unremarkable. I felt every single word. I believe that anyone that has gone through there own version of this would. Beautiful!!✌💕🙏
Valia I have to say, I love the way you tell your stories. I have never heard anybody, tell them the way you do you. You explain things in details and make people really understand what it's about. Thank you & God Bless 🙏🏻
I just could not stop listening to your video. 3650 days in 27:18 min was just so interesting. Your little pooch for sure would choose that same life again and again. Choose to be with you again and again. Not so lucky for his health, but ohhh so lucky for all the love he got, gets and will be getting. This is so hard, watching a loved one going bit by bit, knowing that there is an end to it. It takes force, strenght and courage for this. Thank you Valia for sharing part of your heart. The part that belongs to you and your little pooch.
Love the old animals
Thinking of all of you.
She will always be there and she will come back to you as my very first cat Pascha came after 40 years as Blue. ♥️
Thank you Margit ❤️
He has a great mom and you are a mom like one of the best!!!
😊🙏☀☀☀🍀🍀🍀🍀💚💙💛💜💞
I miss my Tk-421 "Tiki" I rescued him from a thorn bush after his momma cat couldn't get him out.....I had to bottle feed him, as he was too young to eat solid food. I became his momma cat. We were the best of buddies and man do I miss him. He would wait for me to get home in the window and when he saw my car, he would be chirping at the door, until I walked in. He was no more than 6 inches from me whenever I was home. I watched him grow from a kitten to an old cat, who couldn't make his way to the litter box, or matter how many I put around the house. He stopped eating. I cried each time he would eat, which would be days apart......the day my buddy left, I laid on the floor with him four hours petting him, letting him know I loved him....the old body that couldn't move, in his last seconds of life, he stood up.....rubbed all over my body, when back to his original spot....then passed while I was telling him how much I loved him.....The pain of losing him, has never gone away. RIP TK......I have a new kitty now, she's a rescue, an old kitty who has had a run of bad luck....who knows how long my winter will be with me, as her kidneys are failing and was hit by a car right before I got her......she will know love, however long she has left....I refuse to use the name "pet" when talking about the souls living in my house.....TK and winter were/are my family...all people who bring a life into their house know what I mean.
I always say, we don't get them for long enough xxx
🙏🐕❤"This is it". A beautiful writing of our aging selves and pets. Your memory of place and time in your life and your animals' is so loving and precious. I like your heart. You have become a real human being.❤🐕🙏
This is so true. We have been there. ❤️
My nine cats are between 4 and 18 years old.
My first cat ist 11 now and developed kidney problems. I adopted him in 2015. My other 11 year old cat has a heart problem (HCM). The last year something changed and they sleep more and play not so much anymore.
My old girl has arthrosis. Without her medicine she will pee everywhere and scream when you touch her back. 2016 I adopted her and she would come inside to use the toilet, eat and drink something and rest a little bit. Most of the time she was outside. Now she does not want to go outside for 1,5 year and prefer to sleep in my bed. She become an old lady who loves to cuddle.
I love all of my cats and I am scared of the day they pass away.
Realizing they are getting old was really hard. Every second with them is a gift.
Thanks for ur lovely story Valia. A bit emotional 😭 but lovely all the same. XX
😘❤️
Lovely heart touching
Valia ... . I'm completely sure sweet Laura would choose you too ... once and again and again and over again .... Animals are wiser than humans, cause their wisdom, comes from their hearts ..... ♡.
Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all ......with all my losts in my dearly beloved pets, this quote always comes to me. .....We love them and they love us too!! .... a blessing in our lives to have had them . We give thanks for them being a part of our lives and loving us unconditionally. One day we shall see them again in Heaven. If we know Jesus as our Savior, we will be in Heaven and be reunited with our beloved pets. Our Lord will have great joy in seeing us so excited to see them again. We always give thanks to have loved them , and their unconditional love towards us. ❤🐕💕🐶🐱🐕
Priceless, as usual. Thank you.
You always make me cry... I am crying because you are so articulate but also . Accurate... this is the circle of life... as cruel as it is.... this is the circle of life. Laura will always choose you. You can see in her face... while aged her love for you is evident. Is she more work now? Maybe but isn't this karma giving us more time to enjoy and respect each other. Love every moment... each of our pets are unique and we love them.
💜
What a lovely life you two share.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love elderly or senior dogs would adopt an elderly dog again i love my seniors i have 3 rescue chihuahuas one has down syndrome wouldnt take nothing for my babies
Beautiful sentiment thanks for sharing
She will....she will ever chose ...only you Valia
My baby died when she was 13 😭😭😭
It s so sweet
🐶❤️
Yes ... it’s very sad, but it comes with the territory of being pet guardians ... but I wouldn’t live without them.
Την αγαπούσες,την αγαπάς,.......Αγαπα τη. .. πάντα μεχρι ..... Πάντα!!
Καλή δύναμη .και στις δύο!
We take our boy out for a pee every four hours and he wears diapers in the flat. Our boy is 15 and he also have kidney issues ☹️
Good days and bad days,.....yes....I understand this. It seems these last six he has aged so quickly 😟
😍😍😍❤❤💯agreee.👍🏻
I don't know how long bulldogs live, but have you tried to change her diet? Do you use dry food? If so, Id try raw meat cut up with fresh veggies cut small. Not sure cost of meat, I don't really eat meat anymore. But, for my animals Ill give chicken cuz its what I can afford. Does she like raw carrots, celery , corn, etc ? Does she like to swim? Vets do what our doctors do .....fill us all full of drugs. What a sad place to be. Lovely story , wishing you both many more years together !
I feed all my dogs raw 😊
Our 15 year-old Chihuahua seems to be dying... he has become paralysed lately and we even have to help him pee. We feed them with our hands since he cannot eat by himself any more either. My family even considers putting him down, that's what the vet suggested today. I said over my dead body. I am crying my eyes out ever since. I believe in God and I believe Paris' life is also His. If it is God's will, so be it, but I will not push anything, I don't think it is fair and I would not like it for myself either. Life is a gift and who am I to take it away from my beloved dog? No way... Please pray for little Paris.
We control dogs' lives. If it wasn't for the family keeping him alive the dog would have died naturally a long time ago, so you've already intervened and "pushed" a lot. For animals, life is a gift only if its worth living in the "animal sense", not the human one, otherwise we wouldn't push for more strict laws on animal welfare about the living conditions of pets. There's absolutely no lesson to be learned, no soul searching, no contemplating on the meaning of life, when an animal is suffering, like there is with humans. That's my opinion anyway. When a vet suggests euthanasia, it's usually to spare the animal from suffering. Personally, I wouldn't let my dogs suffer not even for one day, if I knew that their condition was not reversible.
