Thursday evening I put my dog to sleep. He was the light of my life and best friend. He was an old man and could no longer walk, so it was time. I spent the whole day with him and spoiled him with yummy treats. The process was so hard when she started with the sedative injection. He yelped and that freaked me out because I didn’t want him to be scared or hurt during it. I placed him in is bed while he got sleepy. The vet came into the room and all of a sudden his eyes opened and he had a seizure. I freaked the hell out! He came out of it quickly and went right back to sleepiness. Then I laid next to him near his chest and listened to his last breathes. And then he was gone….
My home is so quiet. All of his toys and beds have been put away. Im alone. Fully alone. He was such a sweet boy. And got me through so much and I didn’t want him to suffer. Making that choice is one of the hardest things I have done.
Love you my sweet boy!

Im so sorry to hear of what you had to go through . Im in tears reading your account of it. Terrible to go through I know , and its never easy to make the decision to let a beloved friend go. It was your last act of kindness towards him as a devoted and loving owner, It may not be easy to think about at the moment but you can take comfort in the knowledge that you did the best thing for him , and he was in his own bed , when the time came .
yes it was i had to make that decision twice,so sorry for your loss i know its not easy to think yul love again another pet but you will find that special companionship again like i did and help you go on,sending hugs 🤗i can assure you your boy lives on in spirit hes still watching over you🌟
I am so, so sorry for your loss. I know the pain in immense. The silence is deafening. But you did the right thing and were with him right up until his last breath. He knew you were there. He knew how much you loved him. I can't imagine your pain right now. I dread the day for my 2 little girls. It never gets easier but we do the best we can, putting their well being ahead our own feelings. My heart is with you and your precious memories.
Its hard to take is losing a pet as they are part of the family.
I'm so sorry! Personally losing my animal friends has always been one of the hardest things for me, I hate seeing an or even hearing about an animal suffer. As you grieve, please take the time to remember the best parts of what made him special to you, he can live on in your heart. When a kitty I had for 18 years passed (a lil girl I was VERY attached to), I wrote her a letter. I wrote about all the things she had meant to me, how I would miss her and how I would honor her. I cried so much for her, but writing that letter and doing things to honor the life she'd had has really helped ease the pain. I'm so sorry for your loss
I am sorry for your loss. I used to have a very tame and friendly parakeet. She died in an accident that I feel was my fault. She was so fearless and loving. A good friend is a good friend - regardless of whether it is a person, or an animal. You are in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
