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.

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.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8385474/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

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!!

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.

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.

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.

I am sorry you are going through this.
Hurts to lose a best family member.

They do not judge.
Thank you for sharing your pup with us.
You & the Mrs. take care of each other.

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

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.

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.

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!!
