>>74606585Very nice op
>>74606585Sweet
Thank you for bestowing upon this cold, wretched board a wonderful and heartwarming story for the ages
>>74606585poor doggo
>>74606585Hello r/greentext
>>74606585A part of you really does die when you lose an animal that has befriended you. Especially when you're the one who has to put it down.
>>74606585
>>74606585I plan to wheel them around in a cart or carry them when they get to that age. My brown took a bite out of a Lebanese guy trying to pick pocket me in Sydney I love him so much.
>>74607438It's shit but better than making them suffer. t. Done it with 2 dogs (broken back and cancer and cancer) and a cat (lung cancer and lungs constantly filling with fluid)
>>74607438>Especially when you're the one who has to put it down.I still feel guilty. Would they have preferred a few more days/weeks? I'll never know.
I spend at least 10 hours a day with my dog, wake up he’s there, I sleep he’s there. I work he’s at my desk. I gym he’s at my cage watching me lift. I walk to the store and he’s waiting outside the window for me.He only wants to play with me. Be around me. See me. Make sure I’m doing alright. He’s first to go on a jog or walk with me at night. First to sit with me if I’m feeling sick. I hate to do it but I feel closer to my dog then I do my own wife. Losing a dog and friend like this is going to be some of the worst pains I will ever feel.
>>74606585You're a good person, OP. You're giving doggy the very best life he could dream of
>>74606585Im tired of dogs dying on me and I'm never keeping a pet dog or even a cat again.
>>74606585You feeding him too much and blaming him for being fat?
I didn’t ask for these feels /fit/…
>>74607438It’s really hard. I didn’t have to put mine down, but he just died suddenly one day while I was out of the house (my mom was home when it happened). I don’t know if it would have been better if I got to say goodbye or not. I still miss the little guy.
>>74606585He gives his hardest battles to His strongest frens.
>>74608097It sucks every time, but if you're of the right mindset it balances out that you can tank more sadness than a shorter lived animal.They do appreciate, respect, and rely on you, probably even love you, so caring for them, even though they can't possibly live as long as you, is based.
>>74606585so this shitty board is gonna turn into a crying fest for people to get all snot-nosed every time someone's ugly fur baby doggo mutt dies and goes to dog hell?
this is now a cat thread
>>74608097Based.
>>74608401No, only those of us with a soul.
>>74608401Dark skinned hands typed this
>>74607497They don't know bro, but if your intent was pure, to bring them peace and freedom, then I'm sure they wouldn't hate you.I do believe pets or some sweet peaceful memory of them is present after this life.
>>74607497>dog has dislocated disk>bring vet to put down>a month later>went to get my other dog for dentist>vet asked me where’s the other one>said what happened>why did you do that? Steroids for a month or so would’ve helped herThis was three years ago and I have nightmares and regrets about it still I miss her so much too
>>74608709Holy fuck.I also just remembered when I was a kid and my dog 'broke her back' falling down a hill. My parents went to put her down, but now I'm questioning if she could've been saved.
I like dogs but I hate dog culture so fucking much. Dogs make so much noise and there's literally dogshit everywhere in my neighbourhood.
>>74608401kys mutt
>>74606585You need to put him down anon, he can't even walk. It's time to let go
>>74608709My family cat had some sort of nasal infection that didn't clear up with antibiotics for weeks and his head was all swollen, my parents were thinking of having him put down but decided to bring him back home anyway he stared getting better a week or so later with no treatment and lived a few more years
>>74608802There’s a difference between a good pet owner and a subhuman you know
>>74608832Yes. Unfortunately I live in a place with subhumans.
>>74606585This is what love looks like
hello r/eddit
>>74606585>he’s a 17 year old fat son of a gunImagine letting your dog be fat. But im just bitter. Glad hes still with you, shouldnt have let him get fat.t. spent a ton of money on the healiest diet possible and exercise for my dogs entire life and he died at 12, the average for that dog anyways.He was supposed to live to 17 too :(
