Wrong place to post, but I had to put my dog down this morning. He was 13, it was a good long life for a cocker-spaniel, but I can't stop grieving. I'm trying to stay strong for my wife and then I just collapse in privacy. So I'm sharing here. I need nothing from any of you, I just need to vent.

🖕FUCK CHINA🖕
So, so much this.
Also, though; I've put down two, in their time; it was the right thing, and you know what you owe them, to do right by them in that moment, but I still take it back every day. We don't deserve dogs, but I am trying to be the man my dog thinks I am.
Sorry, pede. It sucks to make that decision. We had to put our 15 year old “mutt” to sleep in March. I’m a “farm girl”—I love my animals, but still consider them animals. I can’t even tell you how many animals I have loved that have unexpectedly died or had to be put down (horses, dogs, cats, rabbits). But this was my first dog; she was MY dog and she loved my kids...it ripped me apart (even my tough husband that has cried maybe twice in the 20 years I’ve known him, shed a tear). Almost a year later and I still miss her, but it does get better. Honestly, your emotions are probably particularly raw right now because of all the other bullshit going on.
Definitely the intense mourning coupled with the stress we're all enduring is like a double-whammy.
It should be a good purge. It's healthy.
its gonna be a shit show of sorrow. Lost my 19 year old shih tzu and the my 17 year old shih tzu. Just hold on. Hold on tight. I will pray so very hard for you
Sorry to hear about losing your fur friend pede. Whatever you do, do not watch Hachi: A Dog's Tale. Had it at my house in a netflix envelope when the family gathered shortly after losing my mom. Not a dry eye in the house and ten years later I still never get to pick the movie on movie nights.
OMG do not watch Hachi unless you really want or need to cry. I watched it once and have banned it from my house forever. I still cry just thinking about it.
It sucks..we have put down 2 dogs (age 13 and 15) and 2 cats (age 17 & 18) in the last 3 years. Waited too long on the first...a cat...it was literally dragging itself around because legs quit working. I learned not to wait too long but its hard as hell. Peace!
Don't say you'll never have another dog again. Dog is God spelled backward and they are God's angels on Earth. One day you will have a dog come to you by "accident" (there are no accidental human-dog meetings) and you will know in your heart that you were meant to be together. It will take a while to get over the loss of this dog, but the more dogs you love in your lifetime, the more dogs will be there to greet you on the other side when it's your time to go. I promise you, your dog would want you to give a loving home to another deserving dog.
Dude, OP, you MUST watch this movie immediately if you have not already seen it. IMMEDIATELY.

Rest in Peace (for now) doggy, life does not end here, just another step on the journey.
OMG! A Dog's Journey and/or A Dog's Purpose (made by same producer!)is a horror from which an animal lover can not escape! The dog DIES like 4 times in the movie via reincarnation so, unlike other sad dog movies (Marley, Old Yeller) you suffer/agonize 4X as much! NEVER WATCH THIS MOVIE UNLESS YOU ARE A MASOCHIST!!! Sad animal movies get me, but this is UNWATCHABLE!!
What? The movies are fantastic and you're fucking lieing about the plot. Typical shiller
I am so sorry for your loss and thankful for the wonderful life you gave your dog. Being a bit older, I've put down a few and it never gets easier. I always say that a home doesn't have a heartbeat without a dog in it. Lost my last one a little over a year ago and shortly after decided to foster. Every foster is a life saved so perhaps in time you and your wife can think about that-saving lives. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm sorry, friend. I dread that day and hope it never comes.
Easier said than done, but stay strong. Stay true.
Rest easy knowing you did the right thing.
Fuck China.
It's because you believe you made the decision. Try to remember it was the difference of a few hours, a few days, where the stroke would have kept them from being really cognizant anyway. You honored your friend, dug the grave (been there myself) so you have a grave. Visiting it will becoming easier in time. I walk by my dog's grave and thank them for being such a great friend in the time we had together, even years later. God bless, healing does come, but not quickly. And yes, Fuck China.
My cat is 11 and has hyperthiroidsm and kidney disease and is melting away. It is very sad to bear but I know it's only a step on the journey. Still hard doe, I feel empathy for your situation, fren. Stay strong, we're all gonna make it.
That's because animal-human communication crosses a spiritual boundary that human-human communication does not.
<3 HUG <3
I love that-- trying to live up to your dog's opinion of you! Go on, you can do it!
Condolences. That’s part of why I don’t want pets anymore. My childhood cat was good until she broke her jaw somehow at 12. Had to put her down since there was nothing we could do.
Fuck communist scum!
:( Condolences bro.
They're little lives are too short. And fuck china.
Terribly hard to lose a faithful friend.
You will see him again.
You can tell that dog hated china with a burning passion.
we know dogs make it to heaven because it won't be heaven without dogs
What does it mean when you have a handshake account?
I think it means your account is new
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Animals have a special place in our heart. They are family members, truth.
One of my 16-year-old kittens passed away this morning, so I share your sorrow. You will see your sweetheart again in a better, happier life.
I am sorry you are going through this.
Hurts to lose a best family member.
They do not care if your socks do not match or you got morning breath.
They do not judge.
Thank you for sharing your pup with us.
You & the Mrs. take care of each other.
Beautiful dog! I know what you're going through :/ sorry for your loss
Let me tell you a story
About an old friend of mine
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
In a parking lot for us to find
Just a fuzzy black pup
She was hungry and feeling alone
We put her in the back seat
And told her we were taking her home
Run Maggie run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh run Maggie run
Be just as free as you are wild
A few kids later
We moved out on the farm
And she followed those kids around
She kept them safe from harm
And she loved to chase squirrels
And playing out in the snow
She’d take off like a bullet
Man you should have seen her go
Run Maggie run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh run Maggie run
Be just as free as you are wild
It was raining on a Monday
The day that Maggie died
She woke up and couldn’t use her legs
So I laid down by her side
She put her head on my hand
Like she’d done so many times
I told her she was a good dog
Then I told her goodbye
Run Maggie run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh run Maggie run
Be just as free as you are wild
I had a revelation as the tractor dug a hole
I can tell you right now that a dog has a soul
And I thought to myself as we buried her on the hill
I never knew me a better dog and I guess I never will
Run Maggie run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh run Maggie run
Be just as free as you are wild
Awesome.
I love dogs more than most people.
I feel for ya pede.
Mine are my children.
fur-baby fag
Eat shit and die commie motherfucker.
My fur babies are Belgian Malinois.
I'll be glad to introduce you Che.
why dont you marry them if you love them so much.
FURRYFAG
Because I'm waiting for them to fuck you first commie bitch.
I stayed celibate before marring my human spouse. I don't think I would have engaged in such low-life behavior as your bestiality ass does.
Suck a dog dick fag
Your frens here are grieving with you, we understand. And also, FUCK the CCP!
Sorry to hear this very sad news, brother. Dogs are a blessing. I agree with other poster...you'll see your friend again. In the meantime, he's free and happy now. Breathe deep and try to remember the good times with him.
I love your dog. Prayers for you for healing and may the love of Christ heal your sorrows. oh almost forgot FUCK CHINA. JOE BIDEN IS A RAPIST AND KIDDIE DIDDLER WHO STOLE OOR ELECTION and FUCK CHINA AGAIN. Prayers up PATRIOT
We had to put down our King Charles in May. I definitely feel your pain.
All good dogs go to heaven!
And my two beagles, Whiskey and Banjo, are waiting for him to come play!
I’m so sorry for you and your wife! You gave your buddy the best life...remember that!
hang in there! I'm in the same boat got a 14 year old husky that is ready for a better place.
Thoughts and prayers.
Dogs are fam. Sorry man.
Sorry for the loss of a very faithful friend! Lost mine in March last year - still feel awful.
I’m sorry, pede. God bless you.
Sorry man, that sucks. Prayers for you.
You'll never stop missing him. Dogs hold a special place in our hearts.
Prayers for you and you fam today.
I had to put my best friend down a few days before Christmas... I feel your pain fren. Dogs are the best people
I’m so sorry for the loss of your buddy :( i’m still mourning mine from 5+ months ago. They bring us so much joy and so much sorrow.
What a cute puppo.
So sorry for your loss. We've lost 4 dogs in just over 17 years. 3 g-shep and a soft coat Wheaton terrier. They were family and some of the toughest part of our lives. Your grief will pass. There's another one out there that needs your love.
He looks like a great doggo!
I have a 6 year old Cocker and I dread this day. Especially because she's the last link I have to my family that passed away a few years ago from cancer and heart attacks. Praying for you and your family, I hope the Lord gives you peace.
imo ALL male pedes get a pass on crying over:
the death of a beloved dog, friend or relative; and
the ending sequence in the film runaway train starring the great jon voight.
Vent away brother losing a best friend is the worst. 🐺r.i.p.
Brother we feel your pain; to lose someone close is difficult. It does not matter human or animal love for another is the same. My prayers go out to you and your family.
No issues, we keep our brothers and sisters strong by being there for them. Never think you’re alone, satan always lies and tries to divide.Our family is strong not because of our strength but because of faith. Strength fails but faith grows.
It is always sad to lose them.
Knowing when its time is literally the hardest kind thing you can ever do for your dear pets. Its heartbreaking but its doing what is best for them. So sorry for you, but you will remember the good
Ahhhh I am so sorry!
He looks like he was a good boy.
Yea, fuck china! Also I am sorry about your pupper. Dogs are family, man.
God bless you and your wife. I have cremated 5 and have two now that will be mixed with my wife and I when we all call it quits.
Lots of love your way fellow pede - me and my family are very close with our first ever indoor dog and just the thought of something happening to her brings tears to my eyes. Our furry friends are the never wavering ones who love us unconditionally, even during psycho political seasons.
Hold onto the memories and he’ll live forever. Love and healing y’alls way!!
Such a tough loss... I'm sorry, fren. Praying for you!
Hang in there bro! Losing a pet blows hard. He's not in pain in a better place. Trump said the best is yet to come. Believe him
lil pup had a good life.
We got you mate <3 it's okay to grieve and get knocked down when you lose family. I'll keep you in my prayers :)
Aw.... I'm sure he was a good boy and you will miss him terribly. In years to come you will be able to think about him without the pain.
{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}
❤😪
I can feel your sorrow and pain, brother.
I know how you feel they become part of the family.
Sorry for your loss, fren. Our doggos really are our best friends, it's ok to grieve.
Dude. Im so sorry. The grief we feel for our fur babies is different than any other grief in my opinion. I will pray your baby gets his wings today and I will pray for your strength in this profound loss.
"I am trying to be the man my dog thinks I am" Every. Day.
Your pupper is rolling in endlessly green fields and chasing perfectly thrown balls for eternity! Remember the good times and honor his memory by keeping on, Pede
I'm sorry my brother, a dog is more than man's best friend. Our 16 yr old pooch passed away over 2 yrs ago, and the wife and I still talk about how much we miss her.
