I put my dog down and there's nothing I regret more.I had just got a new job and knew i couldn't take care of her like she needed, i needed this job and now it's gone only like half a year later. I traded my dog that I love for some shitty job because everyone around me was telling me I was being selfish keeping her alive. Now she's gone and so is the job and I have nothing to show for it. I'm going to kill myself soonI'm sorry Sadie
>>4899442>Murdered your dog instead of giving it to someone elseI know this is a LARP but lol anyway
>>4899464>giving away your 11 year old dog that can't walk ?? Who would take her
Put down? Was the dig seriously ill? Because then it is an acceptable choice.
>>4899466Depends on what you mean by seriously ill. She was still there mentally all the way but she couldn't walk anymore
>>4899467like paralysed completely? you made a fair choice (and the right choice in my opinion)
>>4899524Her back legs didn't work at all and she was becoming kind of stiff in the front but she could still move them even then I don't think it was the right choice
You don't get to go to heaven if you kill yourself
>>4899529Heaven doesn't exist anyways
>>4899528That sucks, I'm sorry for your poor dog.Why do you think it was not right to put her down? Are you suicidal because of rumminating over the guilt of putting her down or is it something else?These kind of situations tend to divide people half thinking it's cruel to keep a paralysed dog around other half will insist life above everything else.
>>4899531She was still completely there mentally all she needed was someone who could be there which I couldn't but I only couldn't because of a shit job I wouldn't even have half a year later.I always planned to commit suicide when she died just waiting on my money to run out now
>>4899528>>4899465>>4899467if the animal couldn't eat, drink, or perform its natural behaviors, it's time to put it down. you're beating yourself up over this but this is probably the kinder thing you could have done. realistically speaking the dog did not know what was happening to her, why she couldn't walk or do the things she used to anymore. just because you could care for her doesn't mean she wasn't stressed and confused - even if you didn't think she showed that.you didn't do anything wrong. you had her live a life of comfort and happiness before her condition got even worse.not gonna go into a whole spiel here but if you can you should reach out to someone. don't do it anon
>>4899547She was still eating and drinking she was even playing with toys but my mom kept saying she was only doing it for mw
I’d kill myself too
>>4899539Taking a job means you at least had some sanity and will to live at that point. You need to calm the fuck down, there is a lot you can do with your life.
>>4899552Yea can't blame you>>4899553Nah I only got it because my mom wanted me to I hadn't had a job for a couple years to that point. Sadie started having issues almost immediately after I got it. Wish I would've quit now
>>4899551yeah but she had what sounds like a degenerative disease where half of her legs were out of use while the other half were getting thereplease think about this, if she was getting stiffness in her forelegs then she was either developing pain or arthritis from using them too much or she had a neurodegenerative condition leading up to complete paralysis. and meanwhile she did not know what was happening to her or why, because she's a dog.i'm not trying to be pushy like your family, but i'm just trying to make you think about why putting her down at the time you did would have been better for her quality of life than let her slowly deteriorate until she died painfully, sadly, and confused.you did not do anything wrong.
>>4899553Do you think everyone is as normal as youDo you know there are people who suffer even with every need met
>>4899556I disagree but even if I didn't do anything wrong it doesn't really change anything. I gave up my best friends life to wage slave
>>4899442>>4899467She couldn't fucking WALK, op. Her back legs were completely out of commission and her front legs sounded like they were getting burnt out and painful from the added work. A normal person even without a job would have euthanized.Just because a dog is of sound mind doesn't mean it has a good quality of life, and the opposite is also true; your dog could be dementia ridden and still have a good quality of life.
>>4899563Why is this always the response? We keep people alive with worse constantly. Not being able to walk isn't a reason to be put to death
>>4899557I'm not "normal" I take meds for anxiety disorder
>>4899564people =/= dogs
>>4899564people have the mental faculties to understand and cope
>>4899568Yawn
>>4899569>that dementia patient in the old folks home that has no understanding of his surroundings can understand and copeAlright I guess
>>4899571I thought we were on the topic of paralysis.
>>4899573Not really
>>4899564>>4899569It's called med industry making big money, nothing to do with keeping people alive because they can cope or whatever.
Fine, OP could have postponed having Sadie put down. But how long? Should they have wait until her front legs became non-functional? Or wait even longer?Is it so unreasonable to say goodbye to the dog with an incurable illness before she is completely deterioratedand actively suffering?Dogs are animals, not people. i understand they are very loveable but people project more into them than there is.
>>4899577More to do with the problems of institutionalised murder (euthanasia for humans).Like a family pressurign old people into suicide to get hold of their inheritance.
>>4899578Not sure I was thinking until she stopped wanting to eat or drink
>>4899564a dying 70 year old human could live up to 40 more years with successful treatment, how much longer does a crippled 11 year old dog have?
>>4899563There are literally wheelchairs for dogs.
>>4899563A normal person would have given them a wheelchair if they liekd them.Dementia on the other hand is essentially death with an undead phase.>>4899578Dogs are animals alright, that's why they ALWAYSWANTTOLIVEOnly people are such sacks of ungrateful SHIT that they would throw god's gift away over inconvenienceThere is only one kind of person that kills people as quick as you nuts kill animals: The atheist (and also the satanist and weird eastern spiritual nutjob thats essentially a satanic atheist anyways). Actually, we could just lump them all together under "satan's pawns".>oh no, my legs are shot, I want to die because I can not live it up to the max and fuck bitches and impress my bros! my life of pride and lust is over!
>>4899633If you want to go at the religious angle then humans have dominion over animals, mercy killing them is part of being a ruler.
>>4899641>If you want to go at the religious angle then humans have dominion over animals, mercy killing them is part of being a ruler.>breeding them into basal synapsids because i think they're easier to deal with that way is part of being a ruler>cutting off the fingertips and removing their teeth makes them better pets"A good man regards the life of the beast, but the kindest mercies of the wicked are cruel"For all come from dust and to dust all return.
Was it Degenerative Myelopathy?
>>4899442It's been 6 monthsget a puppy and try your hardest to heal
you're in an emotional state anon, you will not be able to think or act rationally, take a couple of days to think about it. if you treated your dog well, she must have loved you and would have wanted you to live on, if you feel so bad about it, go to a pet adoption center, most of the pets in there never get adopted, so they get put down. save a dog's life, I don't think you have anything to make up for, but if you feel guilty, then you can balance it out by giving the adopted dog a couple extra years of life.
