Remember when this was a joke?
Except Arnold would make a MUCH better president...
My two are currently sleeping at the foot of the bed, I don't even want to think about that inevitable day.
I’m a therapist, and one of my clients is putting her dog to sleep this week. Her first time. She cried through the whole session. And this was the first time I ever cried in session myself in 5 years. And I’ve heard some shit… but this got to me.
Thank you for being there for them. I had to put down my soul pet, my cat of 20 years, in October. First time losing my pet as opposed to the family’s. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. Thankfully I was seeing a counselor who helped me through the worst of it and I’m so grateful to her. She cried too, and it touched me that she could empathize so deeply with what I was feeling.
When I talked about losing my kitty on here, someone said the sweetest thing that will always stay with me, “May her sunspot never move and may she rest in play.”
Being a cat person, I don’t know how relevant the sunspot part would be to a dog, but I feel like “rest in play” is such a lovely way to think about any pet’s passing.
I started sobbing in front of my manager at work when I was telling him I needed to go home to be with my dog for his last day because I just gotten the call from the vet that we needed to put him down. Absolute no fucking control, I was a mess. Literally got four words in and just exploded
I keep wondering how I’m going to tell my boss when this happens because I’m not going to be able to come into work for the day and I hope he’s not going to belittle me for feeling this way about my pet. Because he’s not just an animal but my family.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Our Husky was 10 when he passed away in 2023. We had always joked that his middle name was "pizza thief" because he was very good at stealing pizza when you weren't looking. easily at least a dozen times in his life he nabbed pizza from right next to you, from the counter, or sometimes even from your lap. For one of his last meals, we got a pizza and specifically left some out for him to "steal" for the last time. I will cherish that moment forever. Celebrating his life spent with us, and the quirks that made him who he was, was the only way we could let him go.

Ah fucking hell this got me...
It got me too. While we did it, and while writing that comment, and just now reading it again. We love him, and miss him every day.
He was a good boy.
We confirmed today that our 13yo girl has a tumor on her spleen. Generally they pass quickly, as in you'll walk into a room and they passed away.
We love you Bella, you may have 2 brain cells but you're the best baby.
sometimes I really wonder if we're worthy of our dogs.
Our ancestors got so much in return for a few scraps and a spot by the fireplace.
I always say that my dog made me discover myself anew.
We picked up ours a beef sandwich and had it baptized. We were not sure if she would eat it because she was not eating anything but it was a nice day and we went to the forest preserve and she managed to eat the whole thing over a bit of time.
and had it baptized
come again?
Well clearly the dog was religious and preferred to eat things that were free of sin.
its a term for them taking the entire sandwich and dunking it in the big vat of Au jus.

We had an old foster who stuck with us and eventually Louise became ours. We had her for 2 years before her kidneys quit on her. With her appointment for the next day, we ran to every pet store we could and asked for the best treats they had. One store asked what we meant by best and we said "most unhealthy, best tasting dog junk food we can get."
They had immediate suspicions, "What do you mean unhealthy?"
"Our dog is going to be put down tomorrow and we want to give her the best going away feast she can handle."
The lady understood and ran to the back and returned with two more people. They knew the assignment. The five of us combed the entire store for bacon and steak and stuffed treats the likes of which Louise had never seen. She went out full and as happy as she could be.
Those end of life meals make a big difference to everyone involved. It's celebrating their life.
Said dog was clearly very lucky to be loved by this person.
Lol ultimate life hack? Just add this comment to every order you make...
Joking of course.
When I had to put our golden retriever down (15 years old, cancer) we called an in-home vet to do it since my dog hated the vet with a vengeance. She would get anxious in the car if we even took the vet's freeway exit. We cooked her an entire pack of bacon, and sat there feeding it to her while the vet did their thing. It's a tough thing to go through, but the assurance that my dog wasn't scared on her way out was worth it
You are a good owner. And she was a good girl.
Did the same for our cat, minus the meal, because she couldn't eat. She hated trips to the vet, and it was honestly easier on both of us not having to go somewhere, and getting to be at home. Will do it again for the next cat, unless he just disappears one day.
The bittersweet tears were seasoning enough for that good, honorable boy. 🙇🏽♂️
