I was changing the paper in Goose's cage the other day and came across an article on animals seemingly saying goodbye before they die and I thought it was interesting. A couple of weeks ago I visited an elderly dog client of mine to say goodbye...whilst spending time with him and his family my friend had said it was really odd because over the last 3 nights he had gone and spent a night with her son, then the next night with her daughter, then back to her and her husband, like he was saying goodbye. When I turned up to see him, he managed a small tail wag, which he hadn't done for a few days...I've known him since he was a pup and he would of been 14 this year...it was heart breaking but comforting too as he did seem to be ready and seemingly knew it was his time...the weekend before he'd had a wonderful walk too, then just stopped eating...
I'll attach the full article if anyone is interested or has had a similar experience. Many years ago I used to work on a unit where we cared for the elderly through to end of life and experienced this phenomena several times...
