When the Years Catch Up: Navigating Ageing, Presence, and Love
Rewriting the Rules: Raising Dogs with Heart, Science and Soul
As our dogs grow older, so do we — not just in years, but in depth, awareness, and presence. In this reflective episode, Bethany shares the emotional landscape of ageing dogs: the quiet grief that begins long before goodbye, the slowing rhythms of daily life, and the sacred shift that happens when we stop rushing and start noticing.
With deeply personal stories of her own dogs — Steve, Dave, and Hank — this episode holds space for the beauty and heartbreak of growing old together. You’ll also hear gentle insights into the physical changes that accompany ageing, and how to support your dog with love, patience, and practical care.
This is an episode for anyone walking beside a grey muzzle… or bracing for the day they will.
