I feel like the worst person for even typing this.
My baby, Luna (12, CHF + kidney stuff), has meds at 6am/2pm/10pm and she needs to go out like a million times because of the diuretics. I’ve been doing it for months and I love her so much, but I also feel resentful. Like I’ll be standing in the kitchen counting pills and I just feel angry at my life. Then I look at her little face and feel like a monster because she didn’t ask for any of this.
Resentment and love at the same time - has anyone else felt this? I keep thinking “good owners don’t feel this way” and then I spiral.

I sooo feel you, Dodo. I hated myself for it. Cooper had seizures at 2am all the time and I would be so mad and then immediately cry because he was terrified. Being resentful of the situation isn’t the same as resenting your dog. That line helped me. Sending love to you and Luna. <3
