Nancy and I are sharing this pre-recorded video because Ken's travel plans make it impossible to do a live broadcast on Thurs 4/18. The tables are turned in this episode as it is Nancy and Ken who are being interviewed. The interviewer is Dr. Caitlin Vaughn, a veterinarian who has also earned her Veterinary Human Support Certificate from the University of Tennessee's social work program. Our discussion focuses on helping veterinary professionals with the human aspects of their work. We focus largely on the challenges veterinary professionals face when speaking with their human clients about their beloved animal family members' catastrophic diagnoses and euthanasia.

Such stories are important to share because they emphasize the reality that we cannot protect our animal companions (or, indeed, our human family members) from every strange, entirely unpredictable, and potentially tragic circumstance.

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we share stories sent to us by Danielle, whose dog, Nilla, is terminally ill, and Harvey, who recently lost his dog, Leslie. We'll examine anticipatory grief and the challenges that come with making the decision to euthanize when our animal companion's symptoms are very specific and not affecting every aspect of their ability to function. And we'll look at the transition from anticipatory grief to the grief that follows our animal companion's death.

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we share stories from Emily, who lost her beloved English bulldog, Abby, to cancer, and Nigel, who lost his two beloved giant schnauzers, Maggie and Reuben, due to a tragic event. Though different in signifant ways, these two stories highlight the limits of our ability to foresee and control many aspects of our lives and the strength it takes to heal in the aftermath of great loss.

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we welcome special guest Dr. Shelagh McCaffrey, who will talk with us about end-of-life care. We'll discuss:- the difference between futile and palliative care.- making the decision to euthanize and preparing for the experience. - including children in end-of-life care, including euthanasia.- in-home vs in-office euthanasia.- and more--feel free to send your comments and questions during the broadcast. Dr. McCaffrey is one of fewer than 100 veterinarians worldwide who has advanced training and certification in animal hospice and palliative medicine. After working in the veterinary profession for nearly 15 years, Dr. McCaffrey began to realize that there is a significant gap in senior pet care. With all of the incredible advances in veterinary medicine over the past decade, she noticed how often pet parents felt lost when their beloved companion received a chronic or terminal diagnosis. Without resources to assess what all of their options were and what might be best for their individual situation, many pet families began to feel helpless. Dr. McCaffrey helps her clients navigate through this extraordinarily challenging time in their pet's life.

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as they speak with special guest Grant Hayter-Menzies. Grant has authored many books. His latest, forthcoming this year, chronicles the life of Freddie, Grant and his partner Rudi's recently deceased rescue dog. Nancy and Ken have had the privilege of corresponding with Grant for some time and reading advance copies of "Freddie, The Rescue Dog Who Rescued Me." They can't say enough good things about Grant and his writing and they're certain that you'll enjoy and find solace in what he has to say.
Grant's brief bio: After a decade of writing biographies of extraordinary but unsung women active in the arts, diplomacy and politics, Grant Hayter-Menzies turned to writing about the lives of extraordinary but unsung animals: Rags, mascot and dispatch dog of the American First Division in WWI France; the thousands of elderly, neglected former war horses abandoned in Egypt by British forces at the termination of WWI and saved by Englishwoman Dorothy Brooke; Woo, the Javanese monkey companion of Canadian artist and writer Emily Carr; and Muggins, fundraising dog of WWI Victoria, BC. His memoir of his rescue dog, Freddie (ca 2009-2021), who inspired him to write about animals, comes out in fall 2023 in Canada. Grant is literary executor of playwright William Luce (1931-2019), the award-winning author of Broadway classic The Belle of Amherst. Grant lives in Sidney, British Columbia, with his partner Rudi and rescue dog Niko. Learn more at https://grantmenzies.wixsite.com/author.

Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio for a conversation about love, loss, and resilience with special guests Heidi Gutierrez and Dave Gruben, hosts of Laugh at the Odds Podcast with Heidi and Dave:
https://laughattheoddspodcast.buzzsprout.com
https://linktr.ee/LaughAtTheOddsPodcast
Heidi Gutierrez and Dave Gruben are no strangers to loss. They are two halves of a widowed couple, having lost Arnel and Bianca in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In early 2020, Heidi lost her Mom to cancer, and in 2013, she lost her then-eight-year-old nephew Adrian to a fatal anaphylactic reaction to cow’s milk. They also have each lost animal companions, most recently in May 2021, when Heidi had to say goodbye to Ziggy, a mini schnauzer rescue that she adopted eight months following her husband’s passing. Dave lost three of his own dogs, Quentin, Chester, and Apollo, between 2014 to 2019.
They are the creators and hosts of “Laugh at the Odds Podcast with Heidi and Dave,” a bi-weekly podcast about love, loss, widowhood, and hope. They offer their perspectives as a young, interracial widowed couple, while dispensing advice from seasoned professionals and engaging in meaningful conversations with inspiring widows and widowers featured in each episode.
Dave is the father of a sardonic and intelligent seven-year-old boy, Benji, and Heidi is Momma to her other adopted mini schnauzer, Xena. Together they raise and shuttle their family between their two homes in New Jersey.

When a human loved one dies our family and faith traditions may prescribe a particular way to respectfully dispose of their body, acknowledge the loss, and celebrate their life. Having such a preordained path can provide at least a small measure of relief at this overwhelmingly stressful moment. It’s different with a beloved animal companion. Will we ask our veterinarian to dispose of their body? Will we have it cremated instead? If so, will it be individual or group cremation? What about the options of burying or freeze-drying? Will we have a funeral or memorial service? If so, what will it look like? Join Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio for a conversation about pet loss rituals and memorials.

It's often hard to shake the feelings of guilt that follow the death of a beloved pet. Did I wait too long to end their suffering? Did we euthanize too soon? Why didn't I notice signs of their illness before it got so bad? These are just a few of the questions that plague us. Here's the recording of our conversation about guilt after losing a pet and how to manage these feelings.
