What if Grief starts before Goodbye: with author Jayne Law

Season 1 · Episode 9

Friday, March 20, 2026 • Duration 38:11

Send us Fan Mail

Grief can start while your pet is still breathing and that’s the part nobody prepares you for. I sit down with Jane, founder of saudade paws and author of A Field Guide for Pet Caregivers, to talk about anticipatory grief, caregiver fatigue, and the strange mix of love and panic that can take over when a dog’s health turns fast.

Jane shares the story of Bella, her “queen” of a rescue, and what it felt like to watch symptoms escalate while traveling in France. We talk about the moment many pet parents recognize too late: you can be doing everything “right” and still feel isolated, powerless, and exhausted. Jane also explains why giving your pet permission to let go can be an act of kindness, not surrender.

Then we move into Bubbles, a senior mini poodle with complex medical issues, and the decision to choose at home euthanasia. Jane speaks openly about fear, guilt, and the practical realities people rarely discuss, like what happens right after death, how cremation is handled, and why those details can leave lasting scars. When we educate ourselves about pet hospice and end of life care, we can make better decisions out of love and not fear, and we can grieve with less regret.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself after a loss, this conversation is for you. Subscribe for more stories of pet loss support, share this with someone who’s caring for an aging pet, and leave a review with the one thing you wish every caregiver knew.

We Learned To Let Grief Happen And Keep Love Close

Season 1 · Episode 8

Friday, March 13, 2026 • Duration 29:59

Send us Fan Mail

A tiny Yorkie named Jazzy was so small she could “fit in a teacup,” and the people who handed her over warned she might not make it past a year. She made it to nine, and she did it with the kind of energy that makes you rethink what “a full life” really means. Terry joins me to tell Jazzy’s story, from the everyday sweetness of walks, treats, and sleeping curled under an arm to the sudden night everything changed and an emergency vet visit revealed there was no easy fix.

We talk honestly about pet loss, euthanasia, and the messy reality of pet grief: the shock, the waiting, and the quiet moments when a photo pops up and you’re right back there. Terry shares why their family waited about a year before bringing home another dog, and how pictures, costumes, and simple rituals became a form of dog memorial that kept Jazzy present without pretending it didn’t hurt. If you’re searching for coping with pet loss tools that feel real, this one is grounded in lived experience.

The story expands to the dogs who are still here today: a 19-year-old rescue with “walkabouts,” a Cavalier King Charles with major health expenses and a surprising obsession with America’s Funniest Home Videos, and a younger pup who brings new life into the pack. We also explore something many listeners wonder about but don’t always say out loud: dogs grieve too, and sometimes they search for a missing friend as if they’re still out there somewhere.

If this conversation helps you feel seen, subscribe, share it with someone who’s missing a pet, and leave a review so more grieving pet parents can find the show. What’s one small memory of your pet that still makes you smile?

Oliver’s Big Heart, Lasting Lessons

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, March 6, 2026 • Duration 33:38

Send us Fan Mail

A big-hearted rescue sprinted out a front door and into Angela’s arms, and from that moment Oliver seemed to collect memories the way dogs collect sand: everywhere, all at once. We trade muddy dog-park chaos, driftwood trophies, and keys lost to the Atlantic for something deeper—how rituals stitch love into the everyday, and how those same rituals become lifelines when we face the unthinkable.

To Purchase the book, click on the link -> Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project

We walk through two very different goodbyes. Zack, the blue-eyed border collie who chose dignity to the last step, padding into the rainbow room on his own terms. Oliver’s path was harder. That fracture sparked Angela’s book, The Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project—part memoir, part field guide for compassionate endings and honest grief.

Along the way we share practical tools. Most of all, we lean into radical self-awareness: decisions made with love are valid, whether you can stay in the room or need to step out. And because love rarely ends where a life does, we talk about Zander finding his spark again when Oswald—a black lab mix who literally ran into their path—joined the family, with Murphy the snowshoe cat grooming her pack as if to seal the bond.

If you’ve ever loved a pet and wrestled with the clock, this conversation offers language, courage, and a way forward. Listen, share it with someone who needs steady ground, and if it helps you breathe a little easier, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the ritual that keeps your pet close.

Chaos, Comfort, and the Candle That Kept Burning: Scott’s Story

Friday, February 27, 2026 • Duration 25:51

Send us Fan Mail

This episode is a reunion two decades in the making. Scott and I reconnected after 20 years, only to discover that our shared love for pets had shaped our lives in parallel ways.

Scott grew up in a home where dogs weren’t just welcomed — they were drawn in. His parents bred Nordic dogs, strays wandered in like they belonged, and the yard was always alive with movement, personality, and unforgettable names like Thunder, Thor, and Pepsi.

He also shares the tender story of losing Axle, the small dog who surprised him with a love so steady it helped him through pain, travel, and healing. Scott’s reflections remind us that every pet leaves a legacy — and that their joy stays with us long after they’re gone.

“Fifteen Years to the Finish Line: Piper’s Last Run With Derek”

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, February 20, 2026 • Duration 33:26

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I sit down with Derek from Southern California as he opens his heart about Piper — his running partner, his first “child,” and the soul who shaped his family long before his two kids arrived. Piper passed away on Christmas Eve 2025, leaving behind a depth of grief Derek never expected.

He shares stories of their long runs together, the joyful sprint to the finish they always raced, and the beach days where Piper would tease him with her favorite game: catch me if you can. And in one of the most moving moments, Derek describes Piper’s final breath — resting on his chest, exactly the way he had imagined their goodbye after fifteen years of love, loyalty, and life lived side by side.

This conversation is a reminder that when a pet becomes family, their absence echoes in every corner of our lives — and their memory becomes a compass for how we keep moving forward.

When Compassion Shows Up: Jean’s Story of Love, Loss, and Being Seen

Season 1 · Episode 2

Friday, February 6, 2026 • Duration 26:04

Send us Fan Mail

In this touching episode, Dan welcomes Jean from Jefferson, Georgia, who opens her heart to share the story of the pets who shaped her life and the grief that followed their loss. Jean reflects on the joy, the routines, and the quiet moments that became cherished memories — and how losing her beloved companion changed her in ways she didn’t expect.

What makes Jean’s story especially powerful is the way her former employer recognized her grief and responded with empathy. She describes the moment someone at work truly saw her pain, offered support, and made space for her healing — a rare and meaningful example of what compassionate workplaces can look like.

This conversation is a reminder that pet grief is real, it’s valid, and it deserves acknowledgment. Jean’s honesty and warmth invite listeners to reflect on their own stories, their own losses, and the people who helped them through.

If Jean’s story resonates with you, consider sharing this episode with someone who might need it — and reach out if you’d like to share your own story on the show. Every pawprint matters. Every story matters.

From Obedience Trials To Film Sets With A Golden Retriever Pack

Season 1 · Episode 14

Thursday, April 23, 2026 • Duration 32:34

Send us Fan Mail

Eight dogs at once sounds impossible until you hear how it happens. Tina Frausto joins me to tell the story of building a real “pack” over years of rescue, breeder dogs, and competitive training, and what that daily life teaches you about leadership, routines, and the weird little quirks that make each dog feel like a full person in fur. If you’ve ever wondered how obedience training actually works in the real world, Tina breaks it down in plain language, from positive reinforcement to the way a group of dogs naturally sets boundaries.

Then things get wild in the best way. A call from an animal wrangler pulls Tina and her golden retriever into the film industry, where hand signals become a secret weapon on set. We talk about why silent cues matter for commercials and movies, what it’s like watching a production crew work, and how a dog can become the “star” that everyone recognizes before the handler does. It’s a fun reminder that dog sports skills can lead to unexpected adventures.

But this conversation also goes where pet owners live when the house gets quiet. Tina shares the recent loss of Carson and the painful reality that even the best plan for a calm goodbye can change fast. She also opens up about losing Whiskey, her heart dog, suddenly and without warning, and what it took to make peace with a grief that doesn’t follow logic. If you’re moving through pet loss, pet grief, or anticipatory grief right now, you’ll hear language that makes space for the love and the mess of it.

The Chihuahua Who Went To The Amazon

Thursday, April 16, 2026 • Duration 33:03

Send us Fan Mail

A tiny chihuahua with a big heart can change the shape of your days, especially when your life is packed with long shifts, stress, and responsibility. I sit down with Agustina, an Argentinian doctor living in Brazil, to talk about Gavin and the kind of companionship that doesn’t just make you smile, it steadies you. If you’ve ever felt that quiet emptiness after coming home, or wondered whether you’re “doing enough” for your dog, you’ll recognize yourself in this story.

We move from the practical to the unforgettable: dog daycare during residency, a chihuahua who wants constant human contact, and the surprising reality that this little guy has traveled to the Amazon. Agustina shares what it was like spotting an alligator on a walk and deciding, instantly, that Gavin is safest in her arms. Then we shift to beach life, where Gavin runs for miles, loves sun and sand, and treats ocean water like a personal enemy.

We also go deeper into pet grief and coping with pet loss. Agustina reflects on the dogs she loved before Gavin, including a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who helped her family feel protected, plus Uma, the “mystery breed” she adopted on a whim during medical school. The theme that keeps coming back is simple: grief hurts because the love was real, and peace comes from knowing you gave them a full life.

Finally, we talk animal-assisted therapy and why dogs belong in healing spaces. Agustina describes therapy dogs visiting children during chemotherapy and how a calm, kind dog can bring a moment of normal life back to a hospital room.
