I do the same. Bought her a cooling mat this morning so she can just ride summer out, not to mention feeding her the best food I can afford. I just wish I could deal with these feelings, because they're horrifying. I'm looking at her right now and she's chilling and happy, but I know one day she won't be.
Edit: you're right mate. I know that's all I can do, but it doesn't stop the feeling. I'll just aim to do all I can for her now, in any case
knowing that you have been the best friend you can be makes it easier to live with
I agree, although the anxiety doesn't. I'm always feeling like there's more I can be doing. And whilst it is true, I need to learn to actually deal with that feeling without hating myself
Sorry, I edited. I honestly don’t know how to deal with it beyond that :(
All good, I edited as well, and I appreciate it
