Had to bury my dog today

[El Diablo Blanco]

He was a rescue I got 2 years ago.  Found out he had lymphoma cancer about 8 months ago. He was unable to use his back legs and couldn’t move.  They started him on chemo and it seemed to help. He was energetic and could run and move. He never seemed to be himself when the chemo started but he was able to eat , drink and play.   Yesterday I saw he was struggling to breathe and his belly was swollen.  I took him to an emergency vet and they called me this morning that he got worst overnight. He couldn’t breathe on his own and was in severe pain.  They put him to sleep early this afternoon while I held him in my arms. Feeling him die in my arms was so painful. I buried him in a Forrest he loved talking walks through.   

It breaks my heart into a thousand pieces not having him anymore.

My cat dying was one of the worst experiences of my life.  My mom died this year and was even worse.  I feel your pain man.  Animals seem to make better friends than most people do.

There is a reason that the animal that loves us the most without reservation is the word "god" spelled backwards.

Sorry for your loss bro keep your head up dogs are loyal companions

[Henda]

Sorry to hear mate, it truly is one of the worst experiences in life

Horrible thing to deal with, most animals are wonder creatures. Take your time with it, it will hurt for a while, but it slowly gets better.

Very sad & tough for you,
So very similar to my beloved rescue dog, he went in my arms 3yrs ago.
I had the good fortune of spending 4yrs
With him & he went everywhere with me I could possibly take him.

He blessed my world & life - miss him every goddamn day.

So sorry to hear this. At this point, I think I care more about dogs than people.

[wes]

Sorry to hear it brother.

[robcguns]

Very sorry to hear that, sucks losing an animal.

[LurkerNoMore]

Bro, I am so sorry that you - and others - have gone through this.  There is no other thing that compares to the unconditional love you get from a pet.  They are truly angels without wings.

Very understandable.

[Moontrane]

Sorry , man.  Hang in there!

[Lartinos]

Thanks for giving your dog the best life it could get.

You’ll cross paths with his soul again in the future
Look for a sign
So sorry

I've rescued another Dog - This one had some serious Bad Treatment
He was 3 when I got him - He'd been used as pup for dog baiting / fighting
Had his snout sewed back on / tummy sewed up / & blinded in left eye,
Plus had been rehomed in Germany & Sweden & 7 diffrent homes !!
only to be sent back to
The rescue centre - to say he had a few issues !!

He bit me on 1st collecting him & few other times 🤬🤷🏻‍♂️
& he's a fair size 45kg - took around 14/15 months to get him fairly
Relaxed & calm - now 2yrs on he's a real character & loves to fight & play
Does a lot funny things - He still has his moments & is very wary of other
People to start with.

Love him to bits 😊👊🏻

Sorry to hear. Do you have other dogs?

I have a dog right now that is 16.

I'm NOT ready for this.

My last dog died at 17 in his sleep. I know this is not going to go that way. I'm going to have to get another one soon.

[oldtimer1]

Sorry for your loss of your family member. Your dog died knowing he was loved. That's not a small thing.

[Dokey111]

Don't worry about the pain not going away, it never does.

You just learn to live with it.

Believe me, I know.

Get another dog.

This is true, about the pain part.  I wouldn’t try to get another dog too soon.

I do. The other I had since she was 8 weeks old.  I can’t even think about losing her.  She is my everything.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Your angel with a tail was inundated with love and warmth until the very end. He knew and understood everything.

I’m really sorry to hear of your loss.

Last year I made the decision to put down my 17yr old miniature schnauzer due to very poor health. She was by my side all the time all those years and had awesome life.

It’s ok to be sad but 17yrs of happiness is cause for celebration. Remember the stupid shit they do and you’ll see yourself laughing and shaking your head.

Had to go through the same thing twice with my two. I had them the entirety of my adult life at that point, and they were like my kids. I was homicidally protective of them. Nothing ever wounded me like putting them down. It was the first time I realized that grief physically hurt. It felt like my throat had been ripped out.

Good man; that's awesome. Animal abusers should be treated the same as child abusers and thrown into a pit.
