Ow my heart. Sorry man.

I'm sorry to hear your friend reached the clearing at the end of the path. All paths lead to that clearing, though.

Sorry bud, just lost mine too. Cried like a baby.
StillChasingFireflies
I'm so sorry, I had to make the call on my childhood pet a few years back, hardest thing ever. Did the vet come to your house? That was kind
unbinkable
This sucks :(

You have a damn good vet to come to the house.

Im gonna go hug my dogs now. So sorry for your loss.
Nurglenurgle
These posts always remind me, that even though my dog can be an evil bitch and scares children at times, she is MY dog and I love her still

I'm fucking crying right here. Man I absolutely can't stand animal deaths.

trasvestite gets killed and im like "meh". dog dies ;(
SqueezeTheDay
Me too.
classsay
Somehow I don't care about human deaths but animal deaths burst me into tears. I don't know why
Frenchyforever
Your kids faces broke my heart. I remember losing my dogs while I was young. Its a heartbreak they'll carry with them but will one day (1

Be able to change the heartbreak into a love they can show another dog.

true, and beautifully said.

ChocolatePower
Man, I'm putting my dog down today. Better take lots of sad selfies of me and my family to get free internet cred.
LiquidMilk
Put down my dog last week, took shitloads of pictures in the hours before she died. It helps to have them
xeperos
My dog was put to a rest about 3 years ago i think. I was 13 years old. I was at a friend's while my mom went to the vet with him.
xeperos
I still think it was bad to go to my friend's instead of staying with my dog. (I didn't know my mom would go to the vet with him). (2/3)
xeperos
Cried more for my dog than my grandpa. I knew him my whole life. He was my best friend.
cinsoniTe
Your grandpa or your dog?
TheHarmed
I was the same with my Grandad and Dogs. I think that's because maybe it's acceptable to act your true feelings towards dogs, but not people
MyNamesJoshua
This is pretty accurate for you mate http://i.imgur.com/Td7kGuN
TheRockOfChicamauga
Dogs live shorter lives because they're just better people than us and have less to learn. You cannot convince me this is not true.
crossfitjesus
Im happy your kids were there, its hard now but theyll think back and be happy they were there for him/her in the end, sorry for your loss
TheTitan94
This is true. I couldn't bring myself to be there when they had to put my dog to sleep. It's provably the thing I most regret in my life.
Cerinna
This. It's good to teach your kids about this aspect of life as well.
ItchyScrot
Bullsh*t. Mine died in my arms 16yr ago. Would sell my ballbag to forget that memory.
crossfitjesus
You'd rather your animal die alone scared rather than be by its side and have them know it's okay to let go?
apidretta
I was at uni when my 1st dog had to be put down due to a third recurrence of cancer. I thought it would be too hard to be there with her 1/2

2/3 I stayed back at school even though I was only 30minutes from home. Worst mistake of my life. When I think of her I just cry at my
apidretta
3/3 my selfishness and the pain she had to go through without me there to hold her as she passed...
hereforthepuppygifs
Yup. My parents put my childhood dog to sleep while I was out of town. To "protect" me. I would have given anything to say bye
Scrushkins
Dad put our golden to sleep while I was at school. I'm still not over that to this day.
hereforthepuppygifs
And my +1 is out of sympathy, not because I like what you went through.
hereforthepuppygifs
Ours was a golden, too. I didn't come out of my room for three days, I was SO angry and sad. They had good intentions, but man it sucks huh?
Scrushkins
It really does. They didn't even bring his body home so I could bury him. Its been 8 years now and I still have dreams he comes home to me.
ChrisLocker
Thank you guys. I knew it was coming but I was hoping to get one more good day. Hardest thing I've ever had too do.
Melfeasance
Been there, done that. Wrecked.
Messina
Always hoping for one more good day :(
madp1atypus
I just said goodbye 3 months ago. Friend for 11 years. I cried like a baby just last night. Hardest thing I've ever done. Piece of me gone
madp1atypus
It will never be ok, just hurt a little less. I'm sorry for your loss.
jakel251
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME FEEL THESE FEELINGS?!
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
I remember mine. Was unexpected, but expected doesn't suck any less. I'm so, so sorry. Much love and support, brother.
gravfix
Animals are some of the hardest ones. They aren't like humans, where they piss you off. And they love you so much. Stay strong friend.
justasomeone
you did good.
badyeti
Big hugs mate. :'(
Thor400
So sorry for your loss
nicetomeetme
im so sorry for your loss. i cant even imagine loosing my bud.
MrLawrenceLady
I've been there. The hardest part of owning any pet is having the strength to walk with them through the darkest parts, especially the end.
caitilator
Hardest thing to do but probably the best thing you can do for him. So sorry for your loss.
HappilyImgurian
Please, what breed of dog is that? Do you know?
ChrisLocker
American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull)
TheGirlWithTheHummingbirdTattoo
so sorry :(
sithney
you made yourself feel pain so that your friend could be spared it. that's pretty heroic. much love to you and your kids, my friend.
SteakForPresident
Harder than steel. I recognize the pain brother
hypraktiv
Sorry for your loss
Emberwolf1980
I lost my dog Baxter 8/23/16 due to numerous seizures, he had 10 in less than a day. I feel your pain, one of the worst feeling ever.
NordMan
I picked up my puppy 12 days ago, I'm not ready for this yet. I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend.
vonKaiser
I'm glad you got to do it at home. No one near me does this and it kills me taking them to a unfamiliar room to do it.
dangershell
I went through the same thing 2 months ago. It gets easier
SuperDuperYooper
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Talonotw
Say not with sadness 'he is no more.' Say instead with joy 'he was'.
zanderclause
Its awesome you were their for him when he died. A lot of the time when owners euthanize they leave their pets to die alone. Heart breaking.
MisterDingDong
Obviously he was loved by your family - he had a good life. Remember these moment.
Tokeru
nearly cried at my desk watching your children mourn for their dogbro.
PoopBag
Went from gently crying to sobbing. I wish I had any helpful words of condolence.
Insertintellectualnamehere
@ChrisLocker have a look at the rainbow bridge poem. It says it's a special place for pets and one day we'll see them again xx
IronHobbit
Sorry for your loss. If I may ask, what was the good boy's name? Take care.
rykinshin
It really is tragic to make the choice to put down your pet but if he was suffering you did the right thing. You gave him a good life.

I've been in your shoes friend. I lost mine this mother's day on her 15th bday while i was at work... i still tear up over it.
ManicYEEtPressive
At least my family kept her happy and cozy until she had passed. rest assured life goes on for the better.
Powder85
I feel your pain man had mine for 21 years got him when I was 10 years old
NiceLegsDaisyDukesMakesAMAAANOUTOFYOOOUUUU
It's been almost 2 weeks since we had to put my cat to sleep. It sucks. It sucks and I miss her and I'm sorry you lost your friend too..

Once a family member always a family member.
IAmNotVeryCleverAtAll
I've only seen my father cry twice in my life. When his mother died and when we put our first dog down. It's a brutal thing to go through.
Ragnaroc05
Just about the same for my Dad, except it was 3 times. His mother, his wife(my mom) and when he told me he put our first down to rest.
silrath
I've done this 4 times, it has always been just as hard the first time as the fourth. But always worth the years before.
LargePenguin
To*, and sorry man, keep on keeping on
BDBones
Thank you. I was about to do it myself.
ifartedwhilewatchingyourdog
Fuck you.

ifartedwhilewatchingyourdog
Guys a prick.
wonder89
Wonderful how your kids were part of this..I'm sure it meant alot to your doggo
kittykat
I'm sure it meant a lot to the kids as well. They'll appreciate not being kept in the dark when they get older.
LazloBasement
Part of me always hates posts like this... The other part of me goes and gives my pup a hug. I'm sorry buddy.
atsomepointidid
me too. now i feel guilty that i didn't have time to sit down with my dog at the balcony before i left for work. i'll hug him later.
Cerinna
I'm so sorry. It's always shit to have to do this. Best for dog, bad for person. :(
