Send us a message! We love hearing from our listeners.
The Day After's pet grief series, Sit, Lay, Rest, is back for its second episode! In this episode, hosts Liz Egler and Ashley Infantino welcome guest Shannon, who shares her heartfelt journey of love, loss, and healing through the bond she formed with her pets. Shannon reminisces about her dream of having a dog and how her beloved canine companion, Martin Francis, became a pivotal force in her life, ultimately saving her during a time of crisis. She narrates her experiences with Martin and other pets, including her transition to caring for cats and her continued work fostering animals.
Shannon's story provides an emotional insight into understanding and coping with behavioral euthanasia, particularly as she discusses her decision-making process around her dog Daphne Louise's anxiety issues. The episode delves into the topics of empathy, healing, and the connections we share with our pets, touching on Shannon's thoughts on honoring animals and her vision of a sanctuary called Martin's Place.
Throughout the episode, Shannon's role as a nurse and animal advocate shines through, as she emphasizes the importance of being there for each other—both humans and animals. The conversation highlights the depth of relationships with pets and encourages listeners to embrace empathy and understanding in their own experiences.
Join us in this episode of Sit, Lay Rest, and let's navigate the path of rebuilding after loss, together.
