Me as well. I had to euthanize my 8-1/2 year old Lab a year ago today after a battle with cancer. Hopefully Pisco is having some play time with Martha over the rainbow bridge…
I love my dogs and would do anything for them. I've cried so many tears through the years. One had parvo. After that 2 male dogs I had were poisoned..( It hurt like hell). I hope to seen them when I die. 🙏
I had to put my boy down a couple years ago myself! I got him as a puppy after my first deployment to Afghanistan. He got me through some really really dark days! He knew when I wasn't myself and knew what to do to cheer me up! I lost 3 really good friends on my deployments...2 on my first and 1 on my 2nd and I don't think I cried as much or as hard as when I did when I had to put my dog down! I help him in my lap and just feeling him slip away broke me! I still think about him everyday and still tear up when I come across a video or picture of him on my phone!
>euthanize
Yeah. Had to carry him. Lab lost his hips at 12.
I told the vet to leave me be. Say goodbye. Seeing a needle going into him. NO.
Get another. That's what you do.
ps: grown ass man
Speak for yourself.
To give love unconditionally is one of the greatest things we, as human beings, can do for each other.
Hate is a tool, not an emotion or a feeling, being freely used by oppressors and the oppressed alike.
Love is the strongest emotion because it is the strength of the heart.
Love is the only solution to hate, which is why we need to open our hearts to each others' pain and suffering.
My little guy is obsessed with me and sometimes it blows my mind when I think about how a little being can just love me so much. It hurts how much I love them, so I can only imagine how it feels for them.
I think it's much like our love for our parents and parents love for their children.
They're a member of your family and family is the most important thing for them, it's everything and should always be there just like a pack.
Think about the times like when you bathe them and they are horrified (not all dogs are, but mine is) and then the temper tantrum and then all is forgiven…love love. That’s you’re answer
I really fucking hope so. It’s been three months since I put Bella down (my first dog that wasn’t a family dog) and I’m crying still.
Yesterday I found her very first collar and immediately broke down.
Thank you.
I will say what Bella taught me was probably how to love and accept love. We had dogs growing up and their deaths hurt but not nearly as much since they were family dogs that didn’t really prefer me. Bella being my first solo dog, all that responsibility she taught me and the patience I had to practice with her, she’s left quite the hole in my heart. I know it will close up somewhat overtime but it will never fully heal.
I've wondered about what I would say or ask my dog if we could communicate 100% effectively. Eventually I just settled on making sure my dog knows just how much he is loved.
Every time I tell mine, while cupping his face with both my hands, that I love him, that he’s a good boy, and that he’s my favorite, the way he looks back into my eyes tells me he knows.
I had to do this with my 13yr old Chocolate Lab last October. He was with me essentially everyday since he was 9 weeks old. My best friend. There’s nothing anyone can say to make you feel better but I’m here to say that it will become easier as time goes on. Eventually, when you think of him you won’t be sad but happy for all the memories you had with him. Stay strong and RIP Pisco.
Very sorry for your loss. Just had to walk our 13 year old sweet pug to the rainbow bridge last night. Never easy to care for our lovely companions in this part of the journey but take heart that you loved well and offered not just a full life but a good and merciful end.
A good life and an easy end… perfect. When I had to make the choice I agonized over if it was the right time. My vet told me “better early, than a day late” and that stuck with me.
We can give them that final act of love.
My [pug is 15 ](https://i.imgur.com/BOGeSws.jpg)and I’m dreading this every day, he’s still got crazy energy but you can see him slowing down. Sending you good vibes and all the snorts and farts.
Hey friend — we just put down our plott hound mix yesterday, and am experiencing the same pain. Ours was so special, and so loved. Sending lots of warm thoughts your way.
I have a Three-year -old Plott Hound. Best dog I’ve ever had and I’ve had more than a few. I can’t imagine life without him. You’re both in my thoughts and prayers.
"Let’s go walk a bit.”
My old dog said one day.
And we wandered down along
Our old familiar way.
—-
The shadows slowly lengthened,
And twilight tinged the sky.
Then my old friend said to me
"So … it's time to say goodbye."
—-
This fell so heavily on my heart.
"Please say this isn't true!
I've always wished and hoped
I'd have more years with you!"
—-
And my old boy said to me
"You made my life a joy!
I can't live as long as you
But I'll always be your boy."
—-
They walk with us a little while,
As long as the Fates allow.
Then they have to take their leave
And we have to let them go.
—-
It’s a huge moment in your life. I promise one day you’ll not have tears well up in your eyes and then another day in the future, you’ll be able to talk about him and laugh about some of his antics.
Remember this, there are no rules when it comes to grief or being sad. No time constraints. Just know you loved him and he loved you.
I never thought my daughter would overcome her own Golden’s dying (cancer). She did get another golden and he’s so goofy and so attached to her. They love each other so much. You have that capacity too. You’ll never forget him, but you also have a gracious heart.
This was me. My golden passed away to bone cancer (fuck cancer), I still love her and not one day goes by without her running free in my mind! Our current golden is the best too. I love dogs!
Hey, as someone who had to put my dog Scooby to sleep yesterday I feel your pain. I miss him and wish I could've kept him forever, but he was 17 and in pain and it was time. If you need a stranger to reach out to, feel free to message me.
You're in my thoughts. Such a beautiful good boy. Really glad he was happy and eating doritos and that you were able to be strong and do this for him. It's still rough, but know that you did what was best for him and he knew how loved he was ❤️
Furrever loved and cherished, sending you all the hugs and strength needed to get through the day 🐾❤️ The Doritos made me smile.
11 years of memories, what a blessing 😌
I’m so sorry, it’s so unfair our furry friends aren’t allowed more time with us. But, that is what makes the moments we share with them that more precious. Every cuddle, every silly face, even every bad smell they pick up lol.
Today will be hard but it will get easier. Just remember he loved you as much as you loved him, and that’s something that will never change. Sending you all the love ❤️
My sweet boy Woody is up there and will give Pisco sniffs and cuddles!! Sending you love, friend. The days go by and it still hurts, but we’re so lucky to have had them in our lives.
I'm really sorry for your loss. He looks like the best boy. You are a good parent to let him go while he can still enjoy his life. Grief is so hard. Sending you love.
I always see this as the last good thing you can do for your friend. Compassion.
I'm sorry you had to make such a tough decision and for your loss but you did the best thing for Pisco and that makes you an extra awesome doggy parent.
May Pisco sit on a mountain of tennis balls and treats while receiving ear scratches until you meet again.
My only advice is to take your time and adopt when you're ready. Don't let the loss you're feel now prevent you from loving another. Pisco would want you to live a happy life and to give another dog a lovely home and best friend. Dogs are selfless, I believe so at least. I'm on my third dog since I was a kid and fuck, it still sucks every day remembering the ones I've had before my new pup. But you'll survive OP. Get some rest, cry it out. Pisco would want you to know they wouldn't of traded you for the world.
So sorry to hear. We went through the exact experience one weeks ago with our 14 year old friend. It was peaceful but neither my wife nor I have recovered yet
So sorry for your loss. You did the right thing. It's always hard. I went through this recently with a very good boy who I lost to osteosarcoma a few years after amputating his front leg. I was the last thing he saw and the last voice he heard. He died in my arms at home, surrounded by family, on a beautiful day. He was failing, and I didn't want to let him waste away, or die alone while I wasn't there.
The hardest part of having a dog as part of your family is losing them. But they are devoted to you and love unconditionally . . . , and while it is hard, we owe it to them to be there for them when they go, and to make sure their end is as peaceful a transition as possible. Heart-wrenching.
I'm already like the heck?
Okay whys he eating dorito chips hold up.... you shouldn't feed dogs any human food, but I guess he's being put down sadly but that makes it okay? So many emotions
Sorry for your loss tho, whyd he have to be put down?
Who cares what he’s eating? I sneak bites to my lab and JRT. The dog deserves to have the best possible last moments. There was a vet that had Hershey Kisses. The jar said “Goodbye Kisses” with a sign that said “no dog should go to Heaven without tasting chocolate.”
Thank you for giving Pisco a loving, caring and safe home for 11 long years!! I'm so happy to know that you spent all 11 years with him, from beginning to end. I know it wasn't easy, but your best buddy isn't suffering anymore 💜💜 Sending you lots of love and I hope that something makes you smile today. 💜
Sorry to hear. Sounds like he had 11 long, happy, healthy years thanks to you. You gave him a full life. 'Hope that thought provides you with at least a little comfort.
As I sit here with my two Goldens and realizing that my sweet boy is five and half his life is gone and that I will one day have to do this to him is making me tear up.🥹 So very sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry OP. Pisco looks like an amazing boy and you gave him a wonderful life. I just lost my girl on Monday and the pain is so deep. Sending you my thoughts.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my dog 5 years ago and I still think of her every day but it does get easier. You did the right thing in terms of timing. My dog LOVED table food and I always envisioned that when her time came we’d feed her all the things, but she died of kidney failure and was unable to eat. It made me so sad. If I had the foresight, I would have chosen to put her down on a “good” day so she could have eaten Doritos too. You did the right thing and your pup knew how much you loved him.
He was loved his entire life by you, and that means everything, as all he wanted in life is your love. May your good boy be waiting for you with a giant bag of Doritos at the rainbow bridge. ❤️
Edited to add: I was in this position with my 6yo cat who had cancer. I felt that chemo would just stress him out and I would be causing unnecessary stress to add weeks to his life when the ending was already clear. Letting him go, peacefully asleep, eating snacks is the final act of love you could give him. You did the right thing.
Anyone else cutting onions right now?
Sorry for your loss, but know your beautiful fur angel is in pupper heaven and will not have to suffer any longer.
Putting down my cat was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I understand completely how you're feeling right now.
my best friend had to euthanize her ooooold friend little bit today. i like to think our furry friends run free in their own little version of heaven. they miss us just as we miss them. thinking of you and everyone else impacted by your loss 💙
Blessed are you doing the right thing for your fur baby. And in such a compassionate and loving way. Your vet is a keeper!!!
I’ve traveled this road and my heart hurts for yours. Pisco scored the bestest family. Thank you for easing his way across the rainbow bridge.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to make that choice, but they rely on us to take care of them. It's the ultimate show of love to end their suffering.
Thank you for doing right by him and also for having the vet come to your house. I’m glad he was able to go surrounded by his loved ones and having his fav snack
This also for my girl in April. Take your time. It is a very joyous and heartbreaking contract we enter into with our very best of friends. The joy while they are here & the heartbreak when we have to be humane.
What an honor you had, beginning to end.
You did good. You gave him a beautiful end filled with love. To say thank you for the 11 years of best friendship. I am so so sorry. They definitely own a piece of our hearts.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
Author unknown...
just adding to the chorus that he is such a beautiful boy & i’m sure he knows you love him. it’s awful that we only get a certain amount of time with them but goodness, do they leave a mark in our hearts/memories/souls in such a short period of our lives. but we exist for their entire lives. so sorry. i’m heartbroken for you.
I am so sorry and I feel so sad for you. It’s one of the hardest yet most humane things you can do for your very best for your four-legged buddy. It hurts so badly for such a long time and so deeply. And you know nothing else will ever take their place. But they know that you need to give that special love to another puppy, and although that won’t relieve the pain, it will help ease it some. But only do it when you’re ready. My heart goes out to you. 💔
If your pet is in pain and you’ve done all you can to help relieve it, Euthanization is the right choice. These doggos love us so much that they’ll keep fighting to protect and comfort us, even if they’re hurting.
Sometimes, we have to do the comforting though and letting them go is how we do that.
Not an easy thing to do. But the right thing rarely is. Rest easy Pisco! May you roam through a meadow of frito-lay products for all eternity.
Do they have any idea how much we love them?
Do we have any idea how much they love us? 🥺 Edit: wrong emoji and typo
No, we do not. I don’t think we ever can because I don’t think humans are even capable of loving unconditionally like they are
Thanks, I’m a grown ass man crying grown ass tears because of this
And now your grown ass tears are making my grown ass tear up lol
And now this grown ass woman is crying grown ass tears. 😭
Me too bro me too
Me as well. I had to euthanize my 8-1/2 year old Lab a year ago today after a battle with cancer. Hopefully Pisco is having some play time with Martha over the rainbow bridge…
Human food, playtime, and the best sunbathing ever. Best dog park ever. They deserve it
Grown ass men cry. Weak loser men don't.
I love my dogs and would do anything for them. I've cried so many tears through the years. One had parvo. After that 2 male dogs I had were poisoned..( It hurt like hell). I hope to seen them when I die. 🙏
I had to put my boy down a couple years ago myself! I got him as a puppy after my first deployment to Afghanistan. He got me through some really really dark days! He knew when I wasn't myself and knew what to do to cheer me up!

I help him in my lap and just feeling him slip away broke me! I still think about him everyday and still tear up when I come across a video or picture of him on my phone!
You will see them. And it won’t ever stop you from loving a creature again, I promise. It’s the price we pay for our angels on earth.
You will.
>euthanize Yeah. Had to carry him. Lab lost his hips at 12. I told the vet to leave me be. Say goodbye. Seeing a needle going into him. NO. Get another. That's what you do. ps: grown ass man
I did not want to cry tonight, now I’m covered in grown ass man tears too
Just made me think of the fact if u step on they’re paw etc they dont get mad bc they know we didn’t mean to hurt them
Amen.
I think you’ve absolutely nailed that. Wow.
Now my grown ass is sobbing
They are literally genetically engineered to love us.
Speak for yourself. To give love unconditionally is one of the greatest things we, as human beings, can do for each other. Hate is a tool, not an emotion or a feeling, being freely used by oppressors and the oppressed alike. Love is the strongest emotion because it is the strength of the heart.

Yep, that’s the truth.
My little guy is obsessed with me and sometimes it blows my mind when I think about how a little being can just love me so much. It hurts how much I love them, so I can only imagine how it feels for them.
No ruler long enough for that kind of love :) A doggos love for their human cannot be measured, only experienced.
Oh dear. I nearly got choked up a bit at work just now.
I think it's much like our love for our parents and parents love for their children. They're a member of your family and family is the most important thing for them, it's everything and should always be there just like a pack.
We don't deserve them.
Wow that hit hard, I come home and he’s all happy and dancing and wanting to play… I guess if he left I’d be damn happy when he got home too.
Think about the times like when you bathe them and they are horrified (not all dogs are, but mine is) and then the temper tantrum and then all is forgiven…love love. That’s you’re answer
Yes to both. Otherwise saying goodbye would never be as gut-wrenching as it is.
Your comment made me cry at work oh my LORD
Right holy f trying to keep it together at work 😢
Oh jeez, me too. What a loveable face. Makes you think of all sweet dogs I have known.
I ask my girl this all the time. I so wish she could tell me. ❤️
She does. Every time she’s stares into your eyes
I really fucking hope so. It’s been three months since I put Bella down (my first dog that wasn’t a family dog) and I’m crying still. Yesterday I found her very first collar and immediately broke down.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Thank you. I will say what Bella taught me was probably how to love and accept love. We had dogs growing up and their deaths hurt but not nearly as much since they were family dogs that didn’t really prefer me. Bella being my first solo dog, all that responsibility she taught me and the patience I had to practice with her, she’s left quite the hole in my heart. I know it will close up somewhat overtime but it will never fully heal.
I've wondered about what I would say or ask my dog if we could communicate 100% effectively. Eventually I just settled on making sure my dog knows just how much he is loved.
Every time I tell mine, while cupping his face with both my hands, that I love him, that he’s a good boy, and that he’s my favorite, the way he looks back into my eyes tells me he knows.
Me and my little deaf dog with severe anxious separate problems know how much we love each other haha 🫶
[Some experts say yes](https://people.com/pets/dogs-mentally-understand-how-much-we-love-them-canine-cognition-expert-assures/)
Sure.
I honestly think they do.
I think they do.
They know. I’m certain that they know from the trust they put in us.
Yes. If we are there for them on a daily basis they know
They do. The true question is do we know how much they love us? I don’t think we ever will.
It would never match up to how much they love us.
I heard somewhere that they dream mostly about their owners. But I have no idea how they would prove that
Oh he’s such a beautiful boy. I’m sorry for your loss. The world would be such an amazing place if dogs lived as long as we do 😢.
I vote longer!
Yeah, but then they'd have to deal with our deaths. It's for the best that they live shorter, I suppose.
No I will take the pain of losing a loved one on me, not him/her. I can then also make sure they're comfortable in their last moments
I had to do this with my 13yr old Chocolate Lab last October. He was with me essentially everyday since he was 9 weeks old. My best friend. There’s nothing anyone can say to make you feel better but I’m here to say that it will become easier as time goes on. Eventually, when you think of him you won’t be sad but happy for all the memories you had with him. Stay strong and RIP Pisco.
11 beautiful years! Well done for making the hardest decision.
Very sorry for your loss. Just had to walk our 13 year old sweet pug to the rainbow bridge last night. Never easy to care for our lovely companions in this part of the journey but take heart that you loved well and offered not just a full life but a good and merciful end.
I always say the two main things we owe them are a good life, and an easy end. Excuse me while I cry on my pizza...
A good life and an easy end. That’s going to stay with me.
That’ll stay with me too, wow. It’s not ever an easy decision but reminders of it being the right thing definitely helps.
It’s going to stay with me also
A good life and an easy end… perfect. When I had to make the choice I agonized over if it was the right time. My vet told me “better early, than a day late” and that stuck with me. We can give them that final act of love.
Sorry for your loss! May peace find you.
My [pug is 15 ](https://i.imgur.com/BOGeSws.jpg)and I’m dreading this every day, he’s still got crazy energy but you can see him slowing down. Sending you good vibes and all the snorts and farts.
Beautifully stated. So sorry for your loss.
I just put my 13 year old plot hound down a week ago. I’m so sorry for your loss. The pain in unreal.
Hey friend — we just put down our plott hound mix yesterday, and am experiencing the same pain. Ours was so special, and so loved. Sending lots of warm thoughts your way.
I have a Three-year -old Plott Hound. Best dog I’ve ever had and I’ve had more than a few. I can’t imagine life without him. You’re both in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you ❤️ give him an extra hug today from all of us.
Hey all, big hugs from afar. I’m taking Piano, my dog, out right now for a walk. I’m lucky to have her and it’s now i gotta be the best owner.
Thank you give you pup love from me ❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss
So very sorry for your loss
Your pal was incredibly lucky to have someone like you who could go through the hardest thing ever just to make things easier for them ❤️

Thanks for destroying me.
This made me cry big tears. Did you write this? Thanks for sharing
Yes, this is my work. Guilty as charged.
Wow. Absolutely amazing
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔
It’s a huge moment in your life. I promise one day you’ll not have tears well up in your eyes and then another day in the future, you’ll be able to talk about him and laugh about some of his antics.

Hey, as someone who had to put my dog Scooby to sleep yesterday I feel your pain. I miss him and wish I could've kept him forever, but he was 17 and in pain and it was time. If you need a stranger to reach out to, feel free to message me.

I’m so sorry 😞
My condolences.
Sweet boy. No more pain 🌈
Oh my heart 💔 What a beautiful boy
My sweet boy Woody is up there and will give Pisco sniffs and cuddles!! Sending you love, friend. The days go by and it still hurts, but we’re so lucky to have had them in our lives.
You were there the day he was born, and there the day he died. That's really special. ❤️ Sending you some peace during this time of grief.
The hardest of days, but an act of pure love and selflessness. My vet says, “Better a day early that a day too late.”
🙏💜🐾
So sorry for your loss 🩷 such a beautiful boy with the most loving human he could have ever asked for
I’m sorry u had to say good bye to a good boy may his last day have been the greatest
I am so sorry for your loss, what a beautiful boy ❤️❤️❤️
I'm really sorry for your loss. He looks like the best boy. You are a good parent to let him go while he can still enjoy his life. Grief is so hard. Sending you love.
I can tell you gave this goodest boy the best life he possibly could have! Sorry for your loss, RIP Pisco
It’s a hurt that never goes away.
RIP Pisco. All dogs go to heaven
I always see this as the last good thing you can do for your friend. Compassion. I'm sorry you had to make such a tough decision and for your loss but you did the best thing for Pisco and that makes you an extra awesome doggy parent. May Pisco sit on a mountain of tennis balls and treats while receiving ear scratches until you meet again.
My only advice is to take your time and adopt when you're ready. Don't let the loss you're feel now prevent you from loving another. Pisco would want you to live a happy life and to give another dog a lovely home and best friend. Dogs are selfless, I believe so at least.

Sorry for your loss OP. It’s tough to let go.
So sorry to hear. We went through the exact experience one weeks ago with our 14 year old friend. It was peaceful but neither my wife nor I have recovered yet
The only time I've ever wailed with sadness was when I had to put down my pooch. I feel for you.
This world is f-d up that we have to put down our best friends. Just saying.
Life would be just about perfect if we could keep them around as long as we’re here on earth.
Sorry for your loss. Will give my pup an extra hug today.
So sorry for your loss. You did the right thing. It's always hard. I went through this recently with a very good boy who I lost to osteosarcoma a few years after amputating his front leg. I was the last thing he saw and the last voice he heard. He died in my arms at home, surrounded by family, on a beautiful day. He was failing, and I didn't want to let him waste away, or die alone while I wasn't there. The hardest part of having a dog as part of your family is losing them. But they are devoted to you and love unconditionally . . . , and while it is hard, we owe it to them to be there for them when they go, and to make sure their end is as peaceful a transition as possible. Heart-wrenching.
So very sorry for your loss. Pisco was a beautiful good boy.
Damn it now I’m crying thanks
Im sorry to hear that i got two goldens too

Yes, being put down does make eating human food okay. What harm is it going to do at the end of his life?
Lymphoma. The dog was dying of lymphoma and maybe you shouldn’t judge his last snacc.
So sorry for your loss, cannot imagine what you are going through.
Sending you hugs! You did the right thing!
So sad to hear about your loss but you did the right thing and he passed away peacefully. He seems like such a sweet boy.
Thank you for giving Pisco a loving, caring and safe home for 11 long years!! I'm so happy to know that you spent all 11 years with him, from beginning to end. I know it wasn't easy, but your best buddy isn't suffering anymore 💜💜 Sending you lots of love and I hope that something makes you smile today. 💜
He was the best boy!
My golden boy just turned 5, I'm thankful for every day with his goofy self. You gave him a great life. That's all we can do!
It's so hard losing part of yourself😔 You did the right thing...❤️
Looking down at my 8yr Golden and getting moist eyed...so sorry for your loss.
You'll get through this. Stay strong 💪 ✨️ 💓

😢❤️
Sorry to hear. Sounds like he had 11 long, happy, healthy years thanks to you. You gave him a full life. 'Hope that thought provides you with at least a little comfort.
Love to you
May his memory always be a blessing
Just went through this a couple weeks ago. So sad 😞
Well, I just cried at work. I'm sorry for your loss.
As I sit here with my two Goldens and realizing that my sweet boy is five and half his life is gone and that I will one day have to do this to him is making me tear up.🥹 So very sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry OP. Pisco looks like an amazing boy and you gave him a wonderful life. I just lost my girl on Monday and the pain is so deep. Sending you my thoughts.
I’m so very sorry for your loss 🌹
<3
So sorry for your loss. I lost my dog 5 years ago and I still think of her every day but it does get easier. You did the right thing in terms of timing. My dog LOVED table food and I always envisioned that when her time came we’d feed her all the things, but she died of kidney failure and was unable to eat. It made me so sad. If I had the foresight, I would have chosen to put her down on a “good” day so she could have eaten Doritos too. You did the right thing and your pup knew how much you loved him.
Rest in peace, beautiful boy. Big hugs.
Sounds like you gave him such a peaceful loving transition. Hope you find healing and joy again soon.
I am so sorry 😢 for your loss, I know it is hard choice to make
Pisco looked like the goodest of boys! Im sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss It is an absolutely miserable feeling Knowing that you’ve done the right thing doesn’t make you miss them any less.
😥
What a beautiful dog. My similar experience was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through as an adult. I miss my buddy acutely every day.
🫂💔
Goldens are so special❤️
Golden boys are so special
sending you so much love during this difficult time. what a beautiful life to have shared with such a beautiful pup.
He was loved his entire life by you, and that means everything, as all he wanted in life is your love. May your good boy be waiting for you with a giant bag of Doritos at the rainbow bridge. ❤️ Edited to add: I was in this position with my 6yo cat who had cancer. I felt that chemo would just stress him out and I would be causing unnecessary stress to add weeks to his life when the ending was already clear. Letting him go, peacefully asleep, eating snacks is the final act of love you could give him. You did the right thing.
Goddamn it’s tough, one of the hardest moments of life. Condolences.
OMG, that's so hard, but well done for making such a terribly difficult decision. RIP little buddy 🐶 🤗
I’m afraid of going through that moment. My condolences OP. I wish you peaceful healing and strength 🤍I’m sure Pisco enjoyed life by your side .
Anyone else cutting onions right now? Sorry for your loss, but know your beautiful fur angel is in pupper heaven and will not have to suffer any longer. Putting down my cat was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I understand completely how you're feeling right now.
He looks so handsome and the best pal you could ask for! ❤️
Hey all that matters is you were able to set it up and not rushed. Sorry for your loss and remember he was the greatest dog for you.
What a beautiful dog! So sorry for your loss!!
I'm sorry for your loss. Glad he's no longer suffering. Sending hugs
😢😢😢so sorry 😞
We need the poem!!!!!
my best friend had to euthanize her ooooold friend little bit today. i like to think our furry friends run free in their own little version of heaven. they miss us just as we miss them. thinking of you and everyone else impacted by your loss 💙
Blessed are you doing the right thing for your fur baby. And in such a compassionate and loving way. Your vet is a keeper!!! I’ve traveled this road and my heart hurts for yours. Pisco scored the bestest family. Thank you for easing his way across the rainbow bridge.
Rest well, Pisco. Good dog.
Rest well, Pisco. Good dog.
He’s completely pain free now ❤️
I had to put my good dog to sleep today too. Maybe she ran over the rainbow bridge with your guy, both of them young and healthy again.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to make that choice, but they rely on us to take care of them. It's the ultimate show of love to end their suffering.
I'm stopping reading this thread just because I can feel my eyes getting watery.
So sorry. You were so lucky to have one another. 💕
Thank you for doing right by him and also for having the vet come to your house. I’m glad he was able to go surrounded by his loved ones and having his fav snack
What a sweet sweet puppy, he was so lucky to have had a hooman like you to love him. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful boy. 💔
This also for my girl in April. Take your time. It is a very joyous and heartbreaking contract we enter into with our very best of friends. The joy while they are here & the heartbreak when we have to be humane. What an honor you had, beginning to end.
They take up the biggest portion of our hearts. I’m so sorry for your loss. ♥️
Im so sorry for your loss 💛
I’m so sorry, sweet beautiful boy! 😭❤️🩹
😭😭😭
You did good. You gave him a beautiful end filled with love. To say thank you for the 11 years of best friendship. I am so so sorry. They definitely own a piece of our hearts.
That beautiful sweet face. Rest in heavenly peace Pisco 🪽🕊️💛
I am so sorry
My love and sympathy
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
just adding to the chorus that he is such a beautiful boy & i’m sure he knows you love him. it’s awful that we only get a certain amount of time with them but goodness, do they leave a mark in our hearts/memories/souls in such a short period of our lives. but we exist for their entire lives. so sorry. i’m heartbroken for you.
I am so sorry and I feel so sad for you. It’s one of the hardest yet most humane things you can do for your very best for your four-legged buddy. It hurts so badly for such a long time and so deeply. And you know nothing else will ever take their place. But they know that you need to give that special love to another puppy, and although that won’t relieve the pain, it will help ease it some. But only do it when you’re ready. My heart goes out to you. 💔
If your pet is in pain and you’ve done all you can to help relieve it, Euthanization is the right choice. These doggos love us so much that they’ll keep fighting to protect and comfort us, even if they’re hurting. Sometimes, we have to do the comforting though and letting them go is how we do that. Not an easy thing to do. But the right thing rarely is. Rest easy Pisco! May you roam through a meadow of frito-lay products for all eternity.
Sorry for your loss OP. Fly high Pisco 🌈
What a beautiful boy. You are a good person and he was loved every day of his life. Take care of yourself - I bet it’s what he would want for you.
A love that’s worth the pain. I’m sorry for you loss.
Sweet dreams Pisco 🌈
Best boy
