Ugh, it's too late to go back now, but some of you are getting the wrong impression from my post. I found it amusing that he said "man" and "you know" every other sentence, OK?

I dunno. I guess I used you know cause I'm hurting real bad right now like never before.

I just honestly need someone to relate, cause I feel real alone right now.

I hear you, it's not a big deal really.

I kind of felt that way when I wrote it but my brain just opened up and I'm trying to depressurize some of the sh!t I've had pounding on the sides of my head for the last 4 hours since I can't do it in front of friends or family.

I'm not mad and I don't think you're as dismissive in real life, or even on here.

I understood what you were saying.

Thanks.

As long as you understood me, that's all that really matters.

Again, my condolances.

I think it is noble that you stayed by his side rather than farming him off to the vet to be euthanized. I have extreme compassion for animals, but that practice has always struck me as odd.

Thanks for the sympathy. I know everyone gets like this when their dog dies.

You find yourself still holding the door open for nobody waiting for him to come in or go out with you and it hits you, again and again.

It sounds so petty but the relationships is so real its crazy.

Some people say ahh its just a dog! But that's crazy to me. That dog has seen me at my best and worse and never did anything to hurt me etc. In fact I threw fits and he would simp out of the room after I yelled at him for sitting so close to my chair I stepped on him by accident getting up. I'd be mad I almost twisted my ankle but he's the one how got stepped on right?

Then he'd simp back in with his head down like "Am I alright to be here boss? I just wanna lay in that far corner to be in the room with you even though you're mad at me." All while knowin damn well it was my fault. Pretty petty in the end but it speaks volumes about their loyalty.

Mans best friend has always been like a saying to me. I understood it, but never really got it you know? Not until this morning. That dog was everything to me and I never fully realised it until he was on his way out.

I know exactly what you mean. I am soo sorry for your loss man.

But at least think of it this way...he is no longer suffering
 
dogs show loyalty to humans regardless of race, ideals, etc. It's just pure, emotional, loving loyalty without the other baggage of ideals, opinions and such.

in a lot of cases, dogs > humans.

sorry for your loss.
 
Wow, I feel your pain, I know how it is to lose a family pet and I to was sader that day than any time someone died that I've known.


🙁

Now I'm sad 🙁
 
Isn't it amazing the bond we can share with an animal?

Thinking about losing either of my two pets just totally and utterly wrecks me, and this is only imaging it...

He didn't die alone and obviously he was loved... and he went knowing both of these facts. My condolensces.

Edit: Oh, and whoever even attempts to parody this thread will get kicked in the nuts (yes you girls too).

 
I know how you feel.

your story sent shivers down my spine of what I went through.

I still think about my dog all the time, you'll never regret being there for him at the end.

Time doesn't heal, but it'll make it livable.

I'm really sorry for your loss, may your dog rest in peace.
 
Damn you're a good writer. My dog is 14 now....had her since 4th grade.....she's doing well but this thread reminds me of her 🙁
 
Sh1t... man that totally sucks. At least you were there for him and he didn't go without feeling your love for him.
I got tear in my eye...
 
Thanks everyone.

I honestly feel for everyone who has, or will go through what I just went through. There's reasons I'm having such a hard time with this, the same way everyone did or will when their dog's time comes.

In the grand scheme of things this isn't a unique case, but between me and my dog it's everything we've ever had. I'm just going to let this thread die down and not respond anymore, kind of toss my crutch in the trash bin and limp it off.

A sincere thanks goes out to everyone who had some encouraging and heartfelt words to say.
 
Sorry about your loss. I didn't think much when my two dogs passed but I realize how for some their dogs are like family.🙁
 
Its scary to read your story...I don't ever want to be in that position, but know I'll have to be in a few years. 🙁

Very sorry to hear it. The bright side is that he is no longer struggling and in pain, which must have been unbelievably heartwrenching. :brokenheart:🙁

Hate to threadcap, but I can't understand people that don't give a crap about human beings and have so much compassion for animals. Most people I know that are addicted/psychotic about their animals are the same people that treat their fellow humans like crap.

and a lot of people are horrible beings too, with a tremendous capacity for hate and well an animal (dog/cat) just doesn't. Some days I'd rather interface with some animals than people.

 
dude your story brought me tears, my heart goes out to you. I have two dogs they are brothers 10yo and the thought of them passing is the Worst thing I can think of.
