Triumph 111. Mom

0:41

and Brooklyn, welcome to the program. Hi,

0:45

Dr. Laura, hi. Hi,

0:48

Brooklyn, how old are you? I'm

0:50

10 years old. And

0:53

what can I help you with? Well,

0:56

recently we had to put our

0:58

border collie Australian Shepherd mix down.

1:00

It was last Wednesday. And

1:03

it's been just really hard

1:05

for me. I'm having to

1:07

learn like a whole new normal and everything. So

1:10

I just want some advice on how to kind of

1:13

cope with it. Cause anytime I think about him,

1:15

it's not, you know, him running

1:17

around, it's him in the vet's office being put

1:19

down. Well,

1:21

that's not because you have no memories of him

1:23

running around. You have

1:25

memories of him running around. So

1:27

when you start, okay, what I want you to do is picture

1:30

the vet's office. Okay.

1:34

And the moment, what's your dog's name? Luke.

1:39

When Mick got the shot, the

1:41

last shot, were you

1:43

holding Mick? Yes,

1:46

it's Luke. Oh,

1:49

Luke, okay, I misunderstood. Luke,

1:51

so you were holding Luke as

1:54

Luke passed. And

1:57

what were you thinking while They injected

1:59

him? Only.

2:06

It just didn't seem real. Like

2:08

this can't be happening. It's not real. Yeah.

2:12

That makes sense. That makes total sense. To.

2:15

How long have you had luke? And

2:18

though we've had my family's home

2:20

for thirteen years, he was a

2:22

month away from turning thirteen. but

2:24

I've known since. I was born. Guy.

2:28

So. What's the silliest thing? Luke.

2:30

Ever did that You remember. When

2:33

the I remember. Yeah.

2:36

Not that they tell you, but that

2:39

you remember watching as the silliest thing

2:41

little. You.

2:45

Know me always taking on a new

2:48

project. Let me tell you about my

2:50

4:52

when I was sitting

4:54

on my swing and

4:57

I was just eating a sandwich

4:59

and he came up and just took it off my

5:01

plate. Don't

5:04

you love it? Okay. What

5:07

was the dumbest thing

5:09

you saw him do? Really

5:12

dumb like, come on, dog. You

5:17

really want to know that? Yeah,

5:20

I really want to know that dumbest thing. Eating

5:23

a soup. Oh, God.

5:27

Sometimes they do that and it's so weird. It's like,

5:30

yeah, can I just give you a snack instead? What

5:32

was the most touching, warmest

5:36

thing he did that

5:38

really just made you go, aww. Whenever

5:43

I cried, he would come up to

5:45

me and lick my face. Oh,

5:47

my gosh. Really

5:50

felt your pain, felt your sadness.

5:53

Yeah. Can

5:56

you sort of picture him doing that right now?

5:58

Picture it. Close your eyes. Why is

6:00

in picture Luke licking

6:02

your face because you're sad? Mm-hmm.

6:07

Yes. Well,

6:10

then you have the answer to your question. Remember

6:14

him licking your face

6:16

when you're sad. And

6:20

that's a memory that lives on

6:22

till the day you die at

6:25

120. Seriously,

6:32

that's how you do it. He

6:35

helped you with your sadness your whole life. Let

6:37

him keep doing it. Picture it

6:40

happening. Close your eyes and

6:43

feel his tongue slurping your face. Do it right

6:45

now. Again. It's

6:47

really isn't it? Yeah, that

6:50

is so sweet. And

6:52

that's the answer, hun. You have those memories

6:54

forever. Thank

6:58

you. You're welcome.

7:01

Luke was lucky to have

7:04

you as his human. It

7:11

goes two ways. He

7:14

is doing my brother's dog, but I stole him from him.

7:17

That's right. That's

7:19

right. You two had a special connection. So

7:22

keep it going in your head. Forever.
