Yesterday I took my little buddy to the vet for the last time.
He was 14 and in the last few years went blind due to diabetes.
Before Christmas his glucose levels dropped very low then took a 180 degree turn and went so high he was off the scale.
He spent a while at a pet hospital. Got better and was fine for some time. Then got sick again.
He had a great Christmas and spent New years by my side.

I think I will remember him this way.
Sleeping on my pillow. Snoring and running in his sleep.
Good bye Tiger. I will meet you again.

Our last Christmas.
As a younger dog he would spin a dozen times when you arrived home.
Bark at every noise around - even if nothing was there.
He offered nothing but love and affection.
He knew if you were feeling low and would demand a tummy rub to fix it.
He would do that trick only dogs can do by forcing his nose under your hand so you give him a cuddle.
Somewhere I know a little dog is waiting for me to arrive.

Goodbye my to the best pal ever

I lost my elderly dog recently too. I’m so sorry. Your buddy will be waiting for you in the next room ???? you did right by him ❤️

He'll be fine. Our 4 are all up there just hanging in one big gang. He'll be fine...

He awaits you in a land where you throw the ball for real every time, and he brings it back every time. ...I miss my dog.

I saw this one the other day. My dog would still be outside the gates. He never walked anywhere fast. Too many trees to mark.

Sorry...I cried for a month when my 9yr old MAX (black lab & wire hair terrier) died. Got a Great Pyrenees & Yellow Lab mix to fill the void

I'm so sorry for your loss. They say the first one to greet you when you reach Heaven is your dog. I hope you see him again.

I was not prepared for this, I saw your first photo. I’m sorry for your lost, but I’m sure he lived a fulfilled life because of your love.

What a darling good boy. I’ve lost two dogs this year. Chin up and a toast to you, OP. May they all run free together.

I lost both of my childhood dogs in one year. Made the call on the second. Hardest decision to make as a 23 year old :(

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I was 30 when I decided to pull life support from my dad. I can’t imagine doing that as a 23yo. And yeah, that decision is similar (1)

(2) whether human or beloved animal. Recovering from grief might go faster, but the hard decision is still gut-wrenching.

Damn I am so sorry to hear that. I was running a vet clinic at the time, thought it would be easier since I put animals down routinely.Wasnt

I'm so sorry for your lost...I lost my cat two days ago and it feels awful. Although I know she is okay now as your dog is.

It's likely that this will not be of solace to me during my slow roasting in hell, but eh.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Yeah, true. But I don't believe in either. Although, hell sure makes for great stories.
