This episode of The Animal That Changed You is not only closest to my heart, but it was the hardest to record. My husband Eric sat down to interview me about my sweet Ophelia. There comes a time when every pet parent has to say goodbye. And today, Eric and I take a walk down memory lane as we honor Ophelia.From how she came into my life, to the lessons she taught me over our 17 years together, to how she changed me, to how this whole podcast started because of her, this is an episode that I know every pet mom and pet dad can relate to. I hope that you tune in and help me pay homage to a Great Love, hear how Ophelia impacted my life most, the things I’ll miss about her, and maybe even find some comfort if you’re going through something similar or painful. I will miss her forever, but Ophelia will live on right here, and for that gift I cherish each and every one of you listening. *Trigger warning: This episode discusses eating disorders and mental health issues.
