How I stole my ex’s family dog, Princess. This is the story of how I ended up with Princess, our journey thus far, and where we are now. Princess was my ex’s childhood dog, they got her when he was only 12. She is a country dog who spent her puppy years roaming around open acres in rural Ohio. Now she’s a city gurl living her best life in Los Angeles. She is 12 years old now and we’ve come upon some health conditions including the heart and kidneys. It feels like such a heavy responsibility to give her end of life care. It’s difficult to grapple with her mortality, she’s been here for my entire adult life. I’m just trying to make sure she’s as comfortable as she can possibly be and so so so loved <3
