My dog passed away today

They're family brethren, zero doubt about that. I have a daughter and I can guarantee you that I'll be a total wreck when any of my little furry buds pass, I always am. They sleep with either us or my daughter every night man, all three of em. I wish they could stay with us forever, but we just have to cherish our short times with them and understand that their lives would have been much shorter and more chaotic/visceral had they not been with us, and we have to take whatever small comfort we can from that fact. I know it hurts brethren, just know that it's ok to mourn when you lose family. It's gonna take time. I hope you and the wife find a healthy way to process the pain and move all that love you have to give to your next family companion. It'll get better brother.

Sorry to hear that man. I got 4 bullies and had 1 pitty. The pitty my oldest died earlier this year. It’s a hard thing especially when you treat them closer than most family.

keep the good times close.

Been there a few times and it sucks. Sounds like you gave that dog a great life, and I doubt you would ever take a second of that back.

Sorry for your loss. Your dog passed with the happy memories of you and your wife.

Dogs are the best people out there. We will not forget them and they won't forget us.
 
Sorry for your loss. I think it's clear that this dog made your life better and now is showing you a great truth. Probably owe the little guy a few milkbones when you meet again at the end of the universe.

When we put our last dog down, was one of the worst experiences of my life, truly heart breaking, and still chokes me up thinking about.

But, that 1 moment of pain, is nothing compared to the companionship, and love she gave us in return. For that the least we could do, is hold her til she drifted away.

Feel for you.

I've lost two, one went through ice at a lake, the other one from severe epilepsy.. Know how you feel man. Time will heal the spikes. ..And when you're ready also a new pup usually helps..

RIP doggo, always hard to lose a pet. But the pain we feel because of it just shows how much we loved them, and how much love we recieved back from them. You will always remember this dog, but in time it will be with warmth in your heart instead of pain.

My condolences to you and your wife.

Tag, you're it.
I know the feeling, stay strong.
Don't be sad because he's gone, be happy and thankful for all he good moments you shared with him, knowing he (surely) was a happy dog with a loving family.

I'm so sorry to hear that. W. Bruce Cameron said, "When you adopt a dog, you have a lot of very good days and one very bad day." It's the most accurate thing I've ever read.

If you want to share some stories or pictures of your awesome dog, go for it. I'd be happy to see them.
 
Fuck. It feels shit losing a pet. It's one of those things that is inevitable, we can't control it and we have to unfortunately accept it. Judging from your comments, I'm sure you gave it a great life. Time will heal the pain of loss but you'll always have your fond memories. Chin up and all the best.

Sorry brother. I care about my dog more than everyone other than my wife. I’m sure he had a great life.

Bless your soul, timonlionbladerunner timonlionbladerunner

Looks like you gave her a happy home to spend her time here within. She looks so peaceful. We all come and go, but it's the ones who make us feel loved and special during our life which matter most sounds like you and your wife were those people for your dog

This fucking sucks. My wife and I don't have kids and that dog was everything to us. I don't really have anyone to talk to about this except for my wife and we are both distraught. Fuck 2020.
Sorry for you loss. My wife and I had to let our dog go in November, and it's hard when your pet is taking the place of kids in you heart.
 
My little girl who rode all over the US with me when I was an OTR trucker died in my arms a few years ago. You never fully get over it, but you're better for the memories.

That sucks. I think my first dog (never had one as a kid) is on his last legs. I'm dreading the day, he has been with me for 16 years.

Aw man, sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family. Pets are precious and I can't really express what you may be experiences but in late September we had to take our dog to the vet and due to a botched surgery she was there for almost a month. It was an awful time.

I hope the best for you and your wife.

Time will definitely help. I never truly got over losing the family dog we grew up with even though it got easier with time. After that, I didn't want another pet. When my fiancé (at the time) was given a bunny, I got quickly attached. Shortly after being given that bunny, for reasons, it had to be given back. I was a wreck for a few days. First animal I'd attached to since the family dog. It showed that I never got over the loss of the first. Now that my wife and I got a dog in 2018 who was three at the time, I find myself now and again thinking about the future loss. It just shows that I'll never be ready for it, but, .. that's OK. This doggo is getting the best life I can give it and I learned to never take a day with anyone I love for granted.

While this is a tough time, it will become easier and better. As quoted "It's not about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.".
