Imagine tilling your garden and hitting something hard, dig up a human and a dog skull. No wonder it smelled so bad for the first week.

Always remember, he was in your life for a short time. But for him, you were his whole life. That always cheers me up...

Wow. I mean, of course, that's right, but it really cheers me up to realise it too :) Thank you so much!

Man...I come back and stare at Rickys eyes..you can clearly see how old he is and tired but he still has that glare of hope in his eyes.. :(

12 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

All I ever saw was the love & the hope, but he was quite old for a German Shepherd. 11 and a half years, and all of them wonderful!

I buried my old cat in the back yard after she passed and planted a tree over her. I think of her every time I look at that little tree.

I know it must have been super hard but i kinda wish my dog had just died. About three weeks ago i had to take her to the vet 1/2

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Because she couldn't breath properly and could barely stand up, so i had to carry this huge like 40 pound german shepherd into the vet 2/?

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

While she struggled. I desperately just wanted her to pass so i could bury her at home and not have to wait 30 minutes in a vet.. its hard.

If there is any comfort, it is that his last thought was "I love the Hell out of you, and I always will."

I lost my Dog yesterday, It's a lot quieter in my house but not in the way I wanted it to be.

12 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I know that feeling... OP's brother here. I keep walking into the kitchen & wondering why he's not in his usual spot for a split second.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah, the day After I lost her I had forgotten what had happened and I walked to my kitchen and shook the bag of dog food and she would 1/2

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

usually wake up and run to the kitchen and eat her food but then I remembered what had happened and I was sad the entire day 2/2

Oh, man :( I bet your dog was awesome, she certainly sounds like she was much loved.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah, She was a Corgi and I had her for 7 years before she passed. I can assure you she was very loved and very awesome.

Just put my dog down a couple weeks ago. Ive had pets die before but nothing was as hard as that. Had her for 14 years.

12 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 0

That shit is heavy. I'd rather go to a field and shoot it. When you put them down, their last face is "You fucking did this to me."

I think she was expecting it and knew it was her time. We just wanted to relieve her of her pain.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Hey, if your animal was in pain & wasn't going to get better, you did the right thing. She knew you all loved her.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Please tell us you were with her, so she wasn't with strangers. That's the last kind thing you can do.

It was me, my parents, my sister and my two friends surrounding her.

Thank God - How wonderful to give her your love when she needed it most. There's a right way and a wrong way to do things. You did it right.
