Funny how I wrote this morning about feeling better having control of my depression only to find out this afternoon our old boy of a dog has cancer and could go at any day. We had a feeling but to hear it formally makes my attitude pretty dark and hateful right now.
The universe can fuck with me for all eternity....but man don’t fuck with my dogs.
Fucking life.
Hang in there! Some of the greatest pain I've suffered is putting down my furry children.
We have 4 rescued pitbulls...they are more than dogs to me.
They have given me purpose at times when nothing else has.
Thank you all for the kind words🙏🙏
I'm a cat person myself, but people where I live LOVE their pits. In fact, my roommate was yelling at me not to open the door one day, and I didn't hear him. Well, there where two very large pits outside. Both had obviously just had babies and they were so freaking sweet.
I'm sorry you are having to go through this.
So very sorry. Know how you feel. Lost my 12 year old dobie girl to cancer 3 months ago and she took my heart with her.Thinking of you.
My boy here is 11, his sister also has cancer but she’s been fighting for years...they are my closest friends.
I lasted 3 months without a dog and I now have a rescue dog cause decided I was too old to start again with a puppy. She has her problems but we are working thru them. I’m not having much luck lately either am sitting outside vets waiting to go in cos she has hurt her leg playing with my friends boxer! She’ll never take the place of Layla but she needed a home and I needed a dog and we are helping each other. Take care and thinking of you
Bless you for rescuing...so fulfilling to be there for another creature that needs you❤️
My youngest boy was food aggressive and had his problems for months....with patience and trust he is our most loyal and loving dog now.
Too many people give up too fast on rescues. 
Enjoy the moments you have.
I have several children, and am closer to my dogs and cats because of their sincere love and affection... I too have lost some and the pain was stifiling; I have always hurt deeply when they go.
I sooooo agree to love them while you have them, to make their moments the best - 2 min left in life or two years.
There's no bracing yourself, no way to prepare, just endure your best whenever the time comes and grieve.
In the meantime make the most of the minutes you have!
Thank you for the wonderful words. Rescuing dogs is just “different”
Many do not understand the bond afterward. This guy was from a puppy mill bust in South Carolina...he was transported with parvo almost died then and now he’s 11. I’m ok with it it’s what we do we share our lives as long as able with these wonderful creatures
My heart hurts for you. Dogs are more than animals. they are family
Thank you much they are my everything
I am sorry to read your news. I find it so hard to part with my cats. I have my 15 year old meowing at me as i type. The most wonderful cat I ever had out of 16 or more, was Mouse, I had him cremated he is going in my box with me when I go. at 17 his kidneys let him down, my wonderful vet taught me how to do dialysis on him, I hated sticking the needle in him. After he left I went into a clinical depression that lasted months. I said no more cats - was not to be, neighbors brought cats and kittens to me, some found there way to me, they called me the cat lady!!! That was back in Calif, when I moved to S.C. I was told one pet, I talked them into letting me bring 2, found homes for the remaining cats in Ca.The 15 year old was born feral in my back garden in Ca. Another loving funny cat Oliver I brought with me, he had showed up in Ca. and made a home with me.
He had a massive stoke about age 7, had to part with him, more depression. Then 6 years ago someone left a kitten on my deck, so I adopted her she is a love.
So dear sufferer, I am with you in spirit, you will heal, the dog was so grateful to be with you and loved you. Life goes on, and on and you have your other fur baby's. Be proud of yourself, you have been and still are a great lover and caregiver. I wish you well, do your grieving it is important, I send you peace, love and big hugs....A lover of all animals......
Thank you so much your words are so kind and helpful 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We had 5 cats at one time all strays, my favorite laid under my sons crib his last hours. We had a cat with diabetes and two with leukemia. I also have another female girl pittie who has had mast cell tumors for years that we have treated her mostly holistically with and she is still a trooper! She was skin and bone with a bloody tail from grinding it on the shelter walls.
It’s different when you save an animal instead of buying the cutest. Thanks again for your words friend
So sorry about your dog. Pets make our lives more complete and losing them hurts. Take some pics with your dog, dress him for Christmas and make some good memories. Maybe journal your feelings to help process. Hugs to you and prayers for sweet remembrances.
So yah…
Not doing so well
Ut OH, I STOLE SOMETHING
