RIP sorry for your loss OP

I had a lil pup named Baby when I was like 5 or 6. He bit this other lil _ NuNu down the street and one night a few months later, somebody shot him while he was tied up in the backyard. [emoji]128554[/emoji][emoji]128554[/emoji][emoji]128554[/emoji] ain't had a dog or any other pet since

Damn man sorry to hear that. Parting with an animal is never easy.

Incurable cancer? What kind?


I had some situations with my cat no to long ago. Sort of put me through the mill with pets and why I think vets are a load of crap. Keeping an animal alive is all determined by your pockets. Pet insurance has a horrible limit where it won't help anyone at all and even some cancers and other things are not even covered depending on what type of dog you have. Like I heard with Dachshunds can not be covered with any back related problems because they are known as preincident since most have issues because of their breed being known for it. I just hate hearing how people put their pets down because they did not have the money.

When i had to put my first dog down I had to leave the room when they gave him the needle. Couldn't bear watching the end. Don't know if it was selfish or not.

My Dad made me and my bro watch our dog get the needle. Happened 9 years ago and I still remember it step by step. Terrible feeling to lose a dog, hope you recover OP.

Sorry to hear about your loss op. Pets are family members and losing them is extremely difficult.

Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to “death”, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.
Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say:” No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.” Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.

It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone ( exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.
However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.
When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging it’s tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: “Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.”
When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)

Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But don’t get fooled. They are not “dead.” There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.
I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so much.

O M G. that was friggin the most beautiful thing I've ever read. I've cared for about 5+ dogs in my lifetime until their last days, and I know exactly what it means to have a dog "wagging its tail in your heart".

thank you for that read.

Worst feeling was having to put my dog down because arthritis in her hind legs made it almost unbearable for her to get around

Keep your head up man.  RIP to your dog
