One of the biggest emotions I felt as a child was grief from the loss of pets. A lot of pets. Our house was full of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, and birds. At one point, we had 25 cats, including kittens. It was very chaotic, but I loved each and every one of them. They met their end in various ways. My lovebird Gus fell into the toilet. My favorite cat Sisko died while sleeping in my bed. One of our dogs was hit by a car. You get the idea. Their deaths devastated me, and I felt a deep sense of loss with all of them. The pages of my childhood journals are full of entries trying to make sense of their deaths. Now as an adult, I have a 19-year-old cat, a seven-year-old cat, and two dogs who are six years old. They are my family, and I sometimes feel overwhelmed with the heartbreaking reality that they will not live forever. That one day it will be like they disappeared. The only evidence of their lives, the enduring pain in my heart. Welcome to Dead Pets. My name is Elise Wilde. I've been wanting to do this show for a long, long time. But I've been afraid of fully diving in. Afraid that it will be too painful a path to walk down, too many sad stories to hear. But isn't that what ultimately keeps us from talking about the uniquely painful loss of a pet? And that's something I want to make less painful, less terrifying, less lonely. This is a podcast about dead pets, yes, but more than that, it's about the lives of our pets. The stories we bring you on dead pets have given me the gift of knowing that I will survive the loss of my pets, that each crushing heartbreak is the trade-off for the incredibly fulfilling love, and I will choose it again and again. Each episode you'll hear from guests about a pet from their past. We'll talk about why we love them, why it hurts so bad when they're gone, how they changed us, how we carry them with us, and all of the joy and meaning they brought with them in their short lives. New episodes drop each week wherever you listen to podcasts. Until one has loved an animal, part of one's soul remains unawakened. Anatola France.
