The conclusion of Shelby's story. Please don't look away from the end. I know it's painful and sad, but being present at a pet's end is just as important as all the other phases of your time together.

I learned a lot about grief in writing and recording our story. As much as I dreaded writing this episode, because I'd have to face her death all over again, doing so brought her back to me and for the last five weeks we were together again.

This one's for you Shelby. No longer in our home. Forever in our hearts.
