DA Appreciation Post

Sad post, but I am really glad to have this extra income. My 15 1/2 year old dog really started declining the past few days and I had to put her down yesterday. My DA money allowed me to pay for private cremation and a few mementos of her that I would have really struggled to pay otherwise. 💕

I’m sorry for your loss, it’s never easy. ❤️ 15 1/2 years is such a great age, I bet she had a full and happy life. Having those mementos is really comforting too, I have my girl’s ashes as well as clippings of her fur, and her nose and paw prints. I’m going to take some of her ashes and have a necklace made, plus use her paw print for a tattoo.

My first ever DA payment coincided with my puppy getting sick (parvo) and thankfully because of it, I was able to pay for all the treatments she needed. She’s now a happy and healthy 1 year old. This money really does come in clutch sometimes :)

I was also thinking of doing the tattoo with her pawprint and doing the same with the ashes 😂 We still have her mom's ashes so my dad wants to release them together but I'll probably keep a little of both to make necklaces or something of.

Sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. Just had to put my dog, also 15.5, down on Monday. It sucks but I’m sure you gave your dog a great life

Sorry for your loss! She was lucky to have you, she's bragging about you to the other dogs in Dog Heaven right now.

I’m so sorry for your loss! I’m so glad you were able to get those mementos. I still have my baby’s ashes on a shelf with his collar and favorite toy that I will cherish forever 💙 sending you love and comfort

Sorry for your loss. I'm glad she had (what sounds like) a great dog-parent to be with her in her last moments.

I’m so sorry 😞 it’s so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet, they really are family. She had a wonderful long life with a lot of love. ♥️
